#####Submit a character AMA

####Request an ICD

If you are working on developing an invented character for creative writing, roleplay, or pure novelty, this is the place to expose your character to the world and subject them to questioning to help you flesh them out.

What is this subreddit for?

Please be a good ficizen and comment on other people's submissions as well as your own. Remember, they're not real people -- so no need to be shy!

Let's aim to comment on at least three character AMAs that are not our own before every character AMA we post!

Subreddit Rules

Original characters and settings only! No fanfiction or established characters of any kind. This rule also includes memes and non-character objects.
Respond to the questions! The questions are to have fun and build up your character. What's the point of posting if you don't want to respond? Inactive posts may be removed.
Leave your posts with room for development. This subreddit is to help you develop the character and story. It's okay to have plenty of details now, but you also want to leave room for questions. You can also ask for r/Ficiverse [Userpages] to share more details.
Character posts only! This subreddit is specifically for your characters. If you want anything else, feel free to use our sister subreddits listed below.
No fetish / NSFL posts. Period. Though mature and sexual content is allowed when marked "Advisory", obvious fetish posts, posts containing sexual violence, and anything involving the topic of sex relating to children are forbidden. Discretion of the categories above is completely up to the mods, and we will maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy on them. This is not the place to share your twisted fetishes with an audience, so don't be that guy. Don't even think about being that guy.
Don't piss off the mods. We'll probably talk bad or make fun of you in our private skype chat.
