Description PLEASE VIEW THIS BEFORE MAKING YOUR FAN CHARACTER!


A simple ref on what I keep in mind when I design these characters. I put rules for myself, so I wouldn't go overboard with the designs.

Forgot to add this!
-The shades of gray in the model means: The darker the parts, the more important they are on the body. And the lighter they are, less important. (Meaning, the fingers on a Control aren't obligatory for a Control to function.)

-Controls do not have families. No parents, siblings etc..
-They can get clothes if they want.
-There can be only one sort of  Control in each system. But since there are several systems, there can be more of the same sort of  Controls. (Example, my concept is my system, but your fan characters live in YOUR system.)
-When a Control dies too many times,(usually after 5-8 times) they become a BUG. This varies with Controls though.
-If they die too many times, they become a bug. Every time a Control dies, they lose a piece of their memory. The more they die, the less they remember. So in the end, when they become a bug, they want to steal other Control's memories to replace what they lost. 
-Controls can't feel any sexual desire or have sex, since they don't need to reproduce.
-Controls can, however, gain a deep bond with other Controls who they can trust.

If you have any questions, please ask! But I must say that this concept is still under development, so I will probably not have answers for everything yet.

:bulletred:Since people asked, yes you are allowed to make your own Control. But as long as you credit me for the original concept!
 Please call your character a fan character (FC), not an original character (OC).
Yes, there can be several designs of the same Control, just as long as they don't look like each other. (like in Steven Universe. These are no gemsonas.)
PLEASE DON'T MAKE VIRUS FAN CHARACTERS, AT LEAST NOT YET

Would you consider 4 - 6 eyes to be too many? What would you suggest be too many eyes? o:

UnknownSpy In reply to CherryShade [2017-04-03 08:45:38 +0000 UTC]

Over 8 would be too many. But it really depends on the character.

Still feel kinda bad tho... since I made a virus everyone else joined in on the Virus-Bandwagon.

question, would we also be able to make a virus? edit: if i can't make one / its restricted / whatever reason (completely fine!) you should check out the virus ILOVEYOU. i thought it would be interesting :3c

UnknownSpy In reply to chernobyls [2017-03-22 06:12:09 +0000 UTC]

I would prefer for people not to make viruses before I have made them a ref. Viruses are meant to be be different from the media control design rules.

Napper-A-Sleepy-Pyro In reply to ??? [2017-03-17 14:38:32 +0000 UTC]

this is pretty cool. I don't mind doing one! But i gotta ask are there any effects other than memory loss of dying too many times before turning into a bug / glitch?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

UnknownSpy In reply to Napper-A-Sleepy-Pyro [2017-03-18 07:35:03 +0000 UTC]

Some memory loss of dying, and complete amnesia when turned into a Bug.
Mmm, nothing else so far. But that may change since it's still just a concept.

Pokeskygirl In reply to ??? [2017-03-16 19:08:14 +0000 UTC]

if a control becomes a bug does it get replaced with a new one? Or does example play stop being usable on the system?

UnknownSpy In reply to Pokeskygirl [2017-03-16 20:21:18 +0000 UTC]

They get replaced with a new Control from an other system.

Like my own set of controls, obvious crediting you for the idea and the fact they are fan characters.

I just love them so much~

EnchantedShinyEevee In reply to UnknownSpy [2017-02-25 22:58:30 +0000 UTC]

No, it's something in docs that you can use to format multiple things at the same time! It's the paint roller icon.

is there one for antiviral? or File Explorer? or something like the Format button for flash drives?

UnknownSpy In reply to ArgontheMiner [2017-02-20 15:58:13 +0000 UTC]

No internet browsers or apps or such things. 
I would say ia format button doesn't fit as a media control.

ArgontheMiner In reply to UnknownSpy [2017-02-20 16:36:48 +0000 UTC]


ok
what about the log out thing?

UnknownSpy In reply to ArgontheMiner [2017-02-20 17:18:32 +0000 UTC]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_co…
These are media controls. 
Then there's these shortcut keys like CTRL, ALT... etc... 
And then there's things that I am not sure if I would accept them as media controls like, Incognito, Folder, but as long as you can make something creative with them, they can work. So if you want to make Log Out, you can do that.

Has there been a "Fast Forward/Skip" control yet?

UnknownSpy In reply to DatShinyZoroark [2017-02-19 11:50:28 +0000 UTC]



Rewind is actually Fast Forward too, but uses the name Rewind because it's shorter. 
But yes, both are made. 
It doesn't mean that you couldn't make another design of the same control though!

MalDrawz In reply to ??? [2017-02-18 05:16:11 +0000 UTC]

Are shortcuts allowed to be a media control or is it not?

When I saw this I thought about the keyboard shortcuts and I thought it would be cool.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

UnknownSpy In reply to MalDrawz [2017-02-18 08:56:43 +0000 UTC]

I have made some keys like CTRL and ALT. So yeah, you can make those.

MalDrawz In reply to UnknownSpy [2017-02-18 14:13:08 +0000 UTC]

Okay, thank you so much!
 And I was also was wondering if you were also working on a shift character.

WAIT have you made one for voice type or anything to do with voice?

UnknownSpy In reply to Kassimusprime [2017-02-13 11:55:01 +0000 UTC]

Ok, added one more thing to the ref: "there can be several designs of the same Control, just as long as they don't look like each other (like in Steven Universe. These are no gemsonas.)"
So you can make a control that has already been made, just as long as it doesn't look too similar.

Yeah, I have made Volume.
