Can I use these for my own manga or webcomic?

Yes. The characters are yours to develop into original manga, webcomics, animation, or roleplay.

What is an anime archetype?

An archetype is a familiar character mold — like the cheerful glutton or the cool senpai — that gives you an instant read on personality and dynamics, which you can then subvert.

Can I generate anime OCs for roleplay?

Definitely. The power, faction, and personality fields give roleplayers everything needed to drop a character into a server or campaign.

Can I make the character cute or dark?

Yes — use Advanced options to set the Mood to Cute, Dark, Hopeful, or Epic.
