You may want to give your character a theme. Gacha Club has clubs to put your characters in, hence the name. You can use these to inspire your character’s backstory and personality. Just make sure they have other interests and personality traits as well. Make sure to use inspiration from multiple sources, or else your OC may look like a copy.
Avoid stereotypes. When making an OC, you want to avoid things like the typical spoiled brat with blonde hair and an all-pink outfit and a dress or an emo boy with black hair and all-black clothes with a hoodie. Come up with your own ideas, or use multiple references for inspiration. This will help your character stand out and be unique.
Don’t color anything yet. That’ll be saved for later. Your character doesn’t have to have hair! If it’s a robot, the character is recovering from cancer, or they simply like the style, feel free to skip the hair.
Choose your character’s clothing style depending on their personality. Do they dress masculine (like a boy), feminine (like a girl), or androgynously (gender neutral)? By going to Clothes > Acc. , you can change the logo on the shirt.
Making a hybrid character (besides animal x human) could make for an interesting story or design. However, you don’t want to add too many animals. A wolf x angel x human could be cool, but more than that would be too much.
You may need to change the hand gesture to make sure your character is holding the prop, instead of it just floating in the air.
Colors next to each other on the color wheel often work together (such as red, orange, and yellow), as well as colors opposite to each other on the color wheel (such as blue and orange). Create contrast. If the character has fair skin, give them dark hair or clothes, and vice versa for characters with dark skin. Try to make the outfit and eyes a different color than the hair. You might use a lighter or duller color for the eyes, or use the character’s favorite color based on their personality for the eyes or clothes.
Character Name: Name your character! Favorite Club: Put your character in a club that matches their looks or personality. Keep in mind that if you were to submit this character as a preset in the Gacha Club Discord server, you would not be allowed to put them in the Gacha, All-Stars, GachaTubers, or VIP clubs. Favorite Title: Give your character a title, or just use the club they’re in as a title. Favorite Character: Select their favorite character from a list of well-known presets. If they’re in an element club, you may want to make their favorite character in that same club. Created By: Put your first name or alias here! Don’t use your full name, as personal information isn’t allowed. Character Profile: A short description, biography, or quote from the character. You can also include a sentence or two about their past or relationships. Export: If you reach level 5 from battling, you can export your character with a code. The rest, such as birthday and age, are self-explanatory. There are more options in Additional Details.
The negative experiences are probably going to affect your character most, but be realistic about it. Do they really need to have been tortured for years, when instead they could have been verbally abused or something less brutal?
