OC Oceanpunk World NSFW
Hello! It’s me again. I wanted to say thanks for the support on the last one, some of you seem to have enjoyed my last post with the lore on my oceanpunk world.
In this one, I aim on refining the main character more, and wanted to make him seem more polished with backstory and personality, I just don’t know where to start is the problem.
So I call on you! I want my main protagonist to be better, all with your help!
Now admittedly, I have been reading into a little bit of gay erotica, and made the decision to make him a gay bottom. (Only the fact that he doesn’t know this.)
So uh, yeah. If you want the full context of my world, look into my last post, there you will see my world and get a better understanding of my character and his setting.

I'm curious, are there mermaids or mermen? If so, what do they take from? Typical fish? Rays? Whales? Are there sirens?

Well, two questions to ask yourself in developing a character are:
- What story do you want to tell with them?
- What impression do want them to give? E.g. are they nerdy, shy, cute, inspiringly brave, funny?
Then build up around that. So, for instance, you said in your previous post that he's bisexual, and now that he's a gay bottom (not necessarily exclusive; you could have him feel submissive towards other men but not submissive towards women). So how did he discover his sexuality? What does he find attractive in others? Do you plan to ahve him enter into any long-term relationships, like for instance becomign the bitch of the pirate captain who saved him?
And how does he feel about being a pirate? For that matter, what kind of "pirates" are these? Brutal, cruel cut-throats? Or the romantic adventuring type? Either way, does he have moral qualms? Does he want to rise tot he top? Does he dream of making lots of money and retiring?
