Are you like me? Have you created a superhero? Are you struggling to decide what their backstory should be? How they got their powers?

If you answered yes to the first one, then I encourage you to seek help immediately.

If you answered yes to the rest of the questions, then I have the tip for you: make your character an alien.

Doesn't matter if they look just like a human, tell your audience they are an alien, and they will just have to accept that your character can do whatever they can do because they aren't human! Superman and Goku are the most iconic of their respective genres, so obviously the people like such a story. Best of all, the drama writes itself!

Stay tuned tomorrow for my second exceptional character creation tip of the day.

You can just say the dominant genes of the alien side are what give them their power. Or that the combination of said genes are perfect in such a way to make them that powerful.

You are the god of your creations and universe. If you say they are, the audience has NO right to question it. If Fire Emblem can get away with dragons looking like humans, then you sure can!
