 Introduction: 

When it comes to creating a Fairy Tail character, people often make mistakes with the magic or past they write for the characters. I'm here to tell you what not to do and what to do. However, everything is up to you. You are the creater of the character. I will also be providing information when it comes to putting your character into a Fairy Tail story which is what I am working on.

Magic:

For the first thing I want to start on is your characters magic. I look online and I see people who have given their character a lot of over powering magics such as Satan Soul, Requip, and Dragon Slayer Magic. I also see people who have given their characters Bone Dragon Slayer Magic which is not a good magic. But if you are making your character a Dragon Slayer stick with giving them an element, but not one a Dragon Slayer in Fairy Tail already has. You can give them Crystal, Ice, Water, or Earth. In my opinion, I would try to stick with a magic that hasn't been used in Fairy Tail, but I also support using a magic someone in Fairy Tail already has, but I would tweek it up a little by explaining how your character uses it in a different way. Try not to make your character over powering even though in Fairy Tail there are some very over powered characters, but that's what will make your character better and badass when facing an opponent. Your character will have less power, but at the end they will gather up all the strength they have left and they will achieve victory. If you need suggestions for magics I have some. You can give your character Water Dragon Slayer Magic, Requip: The Archer Magic which involves your character being able to summon bows and arrows that hold different abilities. If you are looking for one, try downloading an app called Fandom: Power Listing. It may give some ideas. It may be hard because a lot of characters in Fairy Tail have good magics and you just want to find one that will beat theirs.

 Naming Your Character: 

Now this these is going to be short because I don't have much to say about it, but I have seen some names that aren't so good. The creator of Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima, has shown us that he likes to use American names such as Lucy, Wendy, Carla, and Jenny. This means you can also use an American name. However, a Japanese name would be wonderful and there are a lot of beautiful ones. Please don't go around naming your character Foxie Reggie or Strawberry. If you need any suggestions here are some. Kimora Blade, Rin Lockhart, Kai Prentiss, Oliver King. to be continued....
