Hlor started off based on a friend of mine mixed with several characters. Since then, she has developed an identity of her own.
Parts of her are based on Holo from Spice and wolf:

Find is the name of my first character i made in skyrim. Back then he was a lot different though. He was far more noble and never stole. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot of him. He pretty much looked like the standard bosmer but with darker skin and war paint.
The Witchfinder is pretty much an original character but i was inspired to create him after finding the witchfinder armor set in Torchlight 2

Most of my characters were inspired by my crazy mind, but two of mine in particular were inspired by established characters/people.
Hadreus Veltilius (Or the Watcher) was inspired by both Jack the Ripper and Hannibal Lecter, a sort of mash-up between the two of them.
As for Daro'Zhinda, I drew inspiration from Bain of the PAYDAY games, as well as Al Capone, a criminal mastermind who knows how to circumvent most things, and an unforgiving, ruthless and relentless boss.

Lucrezia started off as a mix between Merril and Isabella from Dragon Age 2. Now she's more Isabella/Morrigan and a little bit of Katherine from Vampire Diaries.
Styletta is kinda based off of Rupunzel from Tangled but MUCH more shy.

I orginally based Afer off of owain when I first made him.
((Examples of his conversations: No actual talking in this))
heres a handful I like. I also added a bit other characters such as Sokka and Blackstar
Over time started mixing another character into him and now he is a lot like this certain character. But I cant reveal on the forums, you have to figure it out. :)

Oh god, I pull so much crap from various characters around and mash it all together with superglue and prayers to get my characters. Let's start with Don.
Donvyn's sharp and sassy, but his heart's the most dominant part of his personality. I borrow a lot of character traits from Felix Dawkins of Orphan Black - the ever-present sass, the warm heart towards his friends, and the androgynous visual characteristics. Don also likes to paint when he's not healing idiots deserving of Darwin Awards.

And that legendary bedside manner of the skilled healer. Where did that come from...?
Yep. Doctor House.
More heart, selflessness for his close friends and family? A propensity for fire elemental magic?

Well, there is certainly a decent mash-up. True, as the name suggests the original idea was based of the character from Dragon Age franchise, but over the course of time it undergo a gradual evolution. Here's my (albeit pitiful) attempt to decipher the mess:
A confident sorceress, proud of her power and unafraid to use if she have to, Bethany draws a lot in the way of personality and appearance from Yennefer of Vengerberg, a fellow mage from the Witcher franchise (including the novels). Like her, she had a rough past and harbors a deep, even if concealed resentment towards those who fear magic and ostracize those who practice it. She is patient, cunning, driven, and very well-learned. Every now and then she is prone to over-complicating matters, seeking shadows and hidden motives where there is none. Can at times come across as proud and haughty, especially to those who did not knew her well enough. Respects power and authority, as enjoys having a degree of both.
Despite the time spent in the higher circles of society, she is often taken aback if faced with the issues of personal nature. A good talker and a negotiator, she easily turns into an awkward potato when dealing with matters involving feelings and emotions, especially if those belong to people close to her. Even so, she can be surprisingly competent when placed under duress, and will do her utmost to protect people under her care, and beyond. Has few true friends, but loyal to a fault. In this way, she reminded me a lot of Dr. Elizabeth Weir, from the Stargate: Atlantis series. Especially her frequent tendency of placing self in harm's way for the sake of others.

Korvos began several years ago, when I was rolling a monk character that had the good fortune to get a Charisma score of 4. When I first introduced Korvos to roleplay, I experimented with using a character that was a blank slate. I threw Korvos into roleplay without much in the way of his character - I picked a few traits and glued them together with debilitating social awkwardness, and that was Korvos in his entirety. I let the actions of other characters upon Korvos shape him into what he is now, and I noticed the archetype he was falling into - the antihero. He's met a lot of assholes to make him this pessimistic, it seems.
Continuing the overuse of basing characters of persons from the Witcher franchise, Korvos mimics a lot of his mannerisms and career from none other than the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia.
Korvos combines martial ability with blades and weaponry, and he is capable of small, simple spells of destruction magic. He is a mercenary and bounty hunter for hire, though instead of monsters, Korvos tends to go after outlaws and bandits. He tends to be stoic, gruff, and terse, but his stone-faced exterior hides a heart that strives to protect those close to him. Korvos is also pragmatic, though, and watches out for his own hide most of the time. It takes someone truly important for Korvos to throw caution to the wind and lay down the sacrifice play.
As for the special brand of stone-faced social awkwardness that Korvos seems to channel, one character in particular inspired much of the deadpan one-liners that he seems to spout: Castiel from Supernatural.

What is socialization? What is talking? How do I speak to someone without them thinking I'm a total freak? Korvos doesn't frickin' know. He also tends to have very little to say at a time. Korvos rarely runs with a conversation, and prefers to let others talk while he occasionally puts in a word or two. (Perhaps it's just a side effect of growing up with his brother, Donvyn, who doesn't shut up.) If you can get Korvos talking, though, he can be a level and philosophical sort who can have some very beautiful things to say.
His defining feature of being a martial artist influence much of that quiet philosophy. His particular flavor of martial arts influences Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Long Fist, Dim Mak, and Xingyiquan.

Well, there we go again. Having Ganriel Tharn based off a few key characters make it easier to summarize :D
First off, the main character profile is based heavily around Lance-Corporal Levi Ackerman, from the animated series Attack on Titan. Short when compared to his Imperial siblings, but has one hell of a bite. Seemingly cold and indifferent on the outside, he was known to show a surprising degree of insight and understanding on occasion. Always seem to appear as bored, permanently unimpressed demeanor. Is a confident fighter, with his confidence border-lining outright arrogance. Does not seem to care much for the opinions of others - be it regarding himself, or any other thing. Oh, and he is an absolute clean-freak.

Additionally, a few minor things such as appearance details (aka a permanently covered right eye), based off one of Naruto's characters, Sasuke. Quite a mix...

I made Ali when I was like ten, and he really has no solid inspirations. He started with Alijon, which was a pretty name I'd made up out of the blue, and I used it while playing with characters in Skyrim. He was my second char there, and ended up being my main because I never used the other one. I played with the name a little and it became Alijham, which started with a pretty flat pronunciation of al(as in the name)-uh-jham, but that changed a tiny bit into ahl-ee-jahm because that's jazzier. I'd say that some characters, depending on who they are and where they're from an all that, would pronounce his name the way it originally was and others who understood the jazz would pronounced it the technically correct way. Either way, he doesn't really care---as long as it's not something and ham, because the 'h' is only for the purpose of softening the 'j', not to form an entirely new section of the name. In-character wise, that wouldn't really make sense unless they saw the spelling of his name. His name is not Alij-ham, it is Ali-jham.
Okay I went way too far into name.
I played through Skyrim and all that, and with the characters in the game and the way the acted toward wood elves and all that, he developed a rebellious personality. Other than that, it was purely what came from my imagination and what I thought fit him; all the shallow stuff. He morphed into who he is through RP with my friends on Facebook and junk with their characters, and eventually ESO. Even though he's such an old character, most of his deepest aspects and backstory came from brainstorming right before and a couple months after launch. He's like.. really, really deep and it hurts my head sometimes. I would never ever ever verve rvevrvevvrvevrv be able to take a long break from him or kill him off. Because he's like. Been my primary character. For seven years. And also my child. And very developed. And my child.
