Young Writers Society

I'm writing a sci-fi/secret society story, and could use some fresh viewpoints for potential characters. The story is strongly based off of assassins creed, modern day, so that's a general Idea to go off of. There will be a camp of the "Esoteric Order" in the amazon rain-forest (characters will be in other locations across the world throughout the story). The characters should be agile, and have excessive skills in running, climbing, stealth, and hand to hand melee fighting. Not so tech-savvy. Quick on their feet types. That's the general silhouette, meaning no ginormous two-handed-axe swinging brutes or gun slinging sergeants armed to the teeth. Think, ninja like.


Character examples I have so far, so you can get the general idea:

Vasuki


Phantom (name W.I.P.)


Felix


(Unnamed)


(Unnamed)


I hope you get the general idea for the characters, and if not, leave your ideas anyways! Be sure to tell their weapon combination, skills, backstory, appearance, outfit, and just their vibe. Any and all will work! Thanks so much for the help, guys!

I'm not here to suggest a character since I have a block at the moment (Besides making sci-fi characters comes a little hard for me), but rather a tool. Pinterest my friend. You have no idea of the great amount of character concepts you can create with the art you find in that page :3

I know that the purpose of this subforums is to look for help from others, but asking for character ideas from complete scratch is boring and is kind of sad. A writer should create his or her own characters by themselves, not having characters that have been given to you by others with completely other writing styles and methods.

And on a last note, I don't know if you're shying away from offering too much information on your character, but if you're not, you need more than just an unostentatious description of what they look like. A character has a past AND a future. They'll have beliefs, ambitions, childhood memories, experiences, that will completely change your character's perspective. Think about it. I'm not saying you need to go overboard with it and mention that January 16th 2003 the character stubbed his toe, but that a little more detail could create something much more beautiful.
