Playing the Game

• 1). Choose a create your own character game that offers the most options for development. The more objects that you have to place on a blank character, the more unique characters you can create. The fun of a create your own character game stems primarily from the amount of flexibility and freedom that the player has. In this way, the game with the most object options will likely be the most interesting.
  
  
• 2). Open the game and select your character options. These may include the sex of the character or the objects that are available for your use. You may want to try different options every time you play to experience every aspect of the game. While these options have an impact on your final character, the actual game play does not normally change based on the original options that you select.
  
  
• 3). Drag objects from the sides of the screen onto your blank character. You may choose to start from the top of the character and work your way down. However, another strategy is to pick the facial expression only after you have designed the rest for the character. You can determine the character's personality or demeanor based on their appearance in this way.
  
  
• 4). Create differing or interesting characters by abandoning all of the design rules and make the most varied and original design that you can. You may choose to do this in a very minor way (an angel with a frown and devil's wings) or make the entire character an opposite of itself (a character that is literally one half a vampire and one half a priest). Your options are limited only by the objects available for your use.
  
  
• 5). Print or save your character for future viewing or to make more changes in the future. You may want to save the character at first and then come back to make changes several times before printing. As you can drag objects away from a character as well as dragging them onto it, you may find that you would like to make changes in the future.
