FAQ – Character generator / creation in games
First version of a review of the tools we’ve used to create character portraits on writeups.org (for original characters, or those without usable visuals). Mostly it’s stuff from video games, though most of it is free or real cheap.
Since creating portraits or full-body models of original characters isn’t a rare need among various sorts of role-players.
This article is updated from time to time. See its table of content.
Captain Marvel
The live-action 1974-1977 children’s TV series version of Captain Marvel (Billy Batson). The series is terribly dated, but that can have charm.
Esther Babakina
Alluring international woman of mystery (and not much respect for the law). Artistic thief. Esther Babakina appears in Marion Duval graphic novels.
Galen Bradwarden
The protagonist of Dragonslayer, from that early 1980s wave of fantasy movies – low fantasy, in this case.
Bullseye
This entry focuses on the earliest appearances of high-profile Marvel assassin Bullseye, during the 1970s.
Snake
The heroine of notable (and Nebula-winning) early Vonda McIntyre story Of Mist, Grass and Sand. Post-apocalyptic physician using snake-based medicine.
Elan the monk
From the video game Recettear. A purposefully typical two-fisted young priest/martial artist heroic fantasy adventurer. It’s a JRPG, so of course he has magical attacks.
Mirage
Minor and semi-forgotten New Titans character, but she seems to still have a small fan base 20+ years later. Shape-changer, guerilla and survivor from an apocalyptic future.
Killer Moth
The Silver Age version of Batgirl and Batman villain the Killer Moth, which was an incoherent mess.
Gitane
A sample Everquest Player Character (half-elf ranger), who’s cool. Like most our sample video game characters, also comes with primers about the setting and how it works.
Gitane

Ding-a-Ling family

A practically indestructible mecha that the incredible Hulk encountered early during his career.
Boomslang
Very minor Serpent Society bloke with throwing sticks. As of December of 2021, this entry was entirely redone.
Guile

Man-Killer
Angry misandrist with a strength-boosting exo. This profile only covers her 1970s appearances. Down with the chauvinistic pigs !
Vermithrax Pejorative
The then-impressive dragon in notable 1981 low-fantasy movie Dragonslayer.
Bird-Man
Light winged power armour and a pistol, just as real birds do. Mercenary, obscure villain. This profile is meant to be read after our Ani-Men team profile.
Freelancers
Mercenary enemies of Marvel Comics’ young Champions during the 2010s. Handy villains.

A team of super-heroes in an older DC Heroes tabletop super-hero role-playing game campaign.
