Hello! I've come up with some fun character ideas that I am too lazy to write anything with them in it. I'll group them into three categories (based on how easily they can fit into a story) : Races, Characters, and Main Characters.
(Backstory) labels mean that it is a classic thing I have not made but came up with a plausible backstory first.
To "rent" one, just say the thing you're using and the title you're putting it in. You don't have to, though.
Races labeled with x/x are fit for multiple categories with different names.
Races:
Merfolk (Backstory): Ancient curse created by (insert evil wizard from your story). Powerful illusionists that envy the clear skin of the people above. Split into freshwater and saltwater. Have ugly scaly skin based on the actual fish they embody. Also have a hidden bloodline that gives them bonuses if they eat a demon.
Demon (Backstory): Humans who give up their bodies and minds for power. Demons start as seeds of doubt in the souls of those who sin. If the human gives in to the metaphorical demon, they become a literal demon. Can be reversed if the soul inside is freed. Different demons have different looks embodying their sins. Ex: lust demons become beautiful, greed demons become thin, starving creatures with an unhinged jaw, sloth demons become amalgamations of cancer and flesh unable to move
Insanity demons are those who the soul inside is consumed and they look like normal people, but are permanently corrupted and are generally the leaders of demons.
Angels (backstory): Created when souls inside demons rebel and defeat the demon. Are titled the opposite of the sin they overcame. Ex: Angel of Love (lust), Angel of Giving (Greed), Angel of Sacrifice (gluttony), Angel of Compassion (wrath) Note: if the soul is freed by another, they just become a human again.
Techyons/Runekin (suitable for techy or magicy novels): Sentient energy. Made from a failed attempt by magic/technology wielding humans to achieve immortality. Grow larger in age and often inhabit technology/runes. Are usually sentient and have no physical presence unless inhabiting something. Can also eat ghosts and possess recently dead creatures. Can choose to permanently possess runed objects/technology, gaining a physical presence but losing the ethereal part.
Silmepiens (homo sapiens joke): Large, single celled organisms that take the form of the things they eat the most. Color changes based on food. Can always go into common slime form. Intelligence ranges from trained dog to human. Can eat literally anything. Hostile but become entirely friendly to people who have given them their preferred food OR if they are ruled by a Monarch Slime.
Characters:
Grimble: Slimepiens shopkeeper who doesn't buy things. Golden color and eats precious metals. Will trade anything he finds while scavenging for something shiny or coins. Gives rare gifts to those who give him free metals. Escaped prisoner from (insert villain) who turned him sentient and permanently peaceful.
Noma: Female Runekin that inhabits a very, very powerful spellbook. Guardian of (insert large city) and very old. Book of spells contains protective barriers, trackers, world enders, ghost trappers and a forbidden section at the end that contains (big secret thst drives the plot) that she does not look at.
The Queen: Ancient Merfolk that is a kraken. Very evil and places her small squid spawn inside people's stomachs, eating them alive. Small squid spawn are not able to survive very long. Very compatible with smut.
The King: A merfolk who freed himself from the ancient curse by vowing never to treat other races wrong again. Immediately kicked out of merfolk society and villainized. Currently a fugitive from the (insert corrupt noble kingdom) for punching a corrupt (and racist) advisor in front of the king.
Main Characters (names not included):
Vampire + Elf that is an outcast in both elf and vampire society. Worst of both worlds. Finds an ancient structure- turns out it was made by the previous vampire elves to wait for someone to revive their dying world. MC gains a divine spark and works towards that, before finding the balance of the world is failing and is unsaveable OR finds time is stopped outside a barrier the vampelves put up and saves the world OR revives every other race by becoming a god OR just solves conflict between elves and vampires
Slime that only eats magic people and has a reincarnated human soul. Nuff said.
Baby MC reborn in magic world with strong magical ability destined to save the kingdom he lives in from demons. Has traumatic childhood and becomes a hermit after being the hero.
MC that is captured by a grand wizard to make a golem to help the heroes of the world. Lives through about 5 100-year cycles of heroes before eventually deciding to end the demon king cycle once and for all, without the heroes.
hope you enjoyed my (small) list of ideas! Please use them. I need internet points.
