I was thinking of some sort of Egyptian magic because she was a priestess in her past life, but what exactly would that entail? Cursing people? But what exactly would that curse do? See my problem? :P
Google "Egyptian curses" or something like that :p
Do i want to dude to look real, cartoony or anime-y...hmmmm....

It makes sense, because she's like the undead, like a vampire.
What would cause her to be faster than normal mummies?
Well she was a priestess in her past life and was very devout and served the gods to the absolute best of her ability. I was thinking that due to her service, the gods would repay her by giving her superhuman abilities as a mummy. Though I would still need to explain how she came back to life, and why she's not all rotten.
YOu could do the cheap route and say "magic" or maybe mummification in her world prevents the body from even rotting?
Hmmm interesting. Potential personalty? :P
IDK. I'm trying to think of an appearance for my own character darn it! :p
He should be kinda punkish like Jack from the show, but like...blue themed :P
But why? He's a huge geek! :pWHat do you mean blue themed?
Then make him a blue geek :P Like his clothes and motif are blue, to match his dragon form.
I had meant I'm not sure if his human form should be a picture of a real person, a cartoon character ((a not real one of course)) or an anime character :p
Well which one do you want? :P
I don't know is the problem! :p
You could do what I do and have both an anime and live-action face-claim.
Then I'd have to find similar appearances...hm...maybe.I don't know how old i want him to be or what he should look like either way >.<
See, this is why you should do him when you're really inspired to make him. The ideas will pour out like juice!
It's just his appearance :\ANd like I said, I'm hardly ever inspired.
I really want to see him though since he sounds like an interesting character!
You will. I just meant if I only work when I'm inspired then I will hardly make characters.I just don't really know what to do for histories on, well, aNY of my characters.
I wish I could make better histories :\
It depends on how strongly you feel about the character. Some of my most favorite and best histories have come from characters I was super excited to make for whatever reason.
I feel excited about all my characters but can never do more than bare bones history
I could help you, if you wanted? I'm often really good at history.
Maybe. I just dont want it to seem like you do all thr work >.<
Well I don't know what else to tell you.
I guess i'll try and do it on my own :\
I just offered you help.
I know, but i guess what you said before your most recent post, to me at least, sounded like you didn't want to that much >.<
No, I do genuinely want to help you.
Really? :)
Of course!
Awww <3 Well if you really want to help then feel free to ^^
Well what do you have so far? And what do you want my help with, exactly?
For the history? The bare bones.I just want to have fleshed out, interesting histories for characters.
Hmmmm....I usually add in a bit of background about the world they're from if they're from an existing product, and I talk about like their parents and family and such. I try to give reasons why their personalty is the way it is, and when their powers awakened and how everyone felt when their powers were discovered.
I'll add what I can, but the cartoon does very little worldbuilding. I can add a bit about how he's like he is. as for the powers awakening, well they kind of all knew it would happen. In the show, the dragon powers skip a generation so his grandparent(s) would be able to transform.
*nods* Sounds good so far. Maybe add in something about him in school? Did he do good? Average? Poor? Did he have any friends in school, what were they like? If his parents/grandparents were really successful and famous, did he feel proud or in their shadow?
He would either do poorly in school or be home schooled due to his second life as a dragon. Assuming he went to public school he probably wouldn't have too many friends, as "geeks" are often picked on for liking what they like.I'm...not too sure about that part. In the show Jake is the "American Dragon" but there are obviously other dragons, including his sister, and his grandfather USED to be the Chinese Dragon, so obviously there was more than one dragon in China, unless China is now defenseless. So it's not like there's only *one* dragon per country, but maybe the one with the title represents their country in the dragon council? Again, this is stuff that's never explained in the show.
I like the idea of him being homeschooled. I think it's an interesting idea. Maybe his family moved to another country and he's the dragon that guards said country?
Then i would have to be familiar with the culture of that country :p
Going in to work today so I won't be on :(
CAncel that. My co-workers insisted they'd be fine without me so I guess i'm staying home.

But why would he move? ANd if he was that country's dragon he'd be too busy defending the country to go to school :p
Oh and here's the new skin for Izanami
