This is an opinionated guide, folks, it's my opinion, so stfu.
OK, let's start with design and illustration, don't go to TeamArtail, find a good screenshot and colour over it, don't use a base everyone else has used over 1000 times, I will say, if you're having a hard time with a pose, look for a resource image and copy the pose from that. Spines are ok, as long as they aren't exactly like Sonic's, that's been done. TO DEATH. DO NOT GIVE YOUR CHARACTER 2 raposa TAILS, I'll explain mais on that later.
seguinte off, let's try naming, don't give your character six names, the maximum is three; First name, segundo name then surname. Got it? Good. And no, translating a aleatório noun into Japanese doesn't make it any mais original, if you MUST have a Japanese name, go to a baby naming site, or use a name you KNOW is a name. But try and vary it a little, don't yourselves to Japanese and English names. What about a Russian name or a Korean name or something, ever thought of those?
Let's do some backstories! Now, yes, I don't mind a little bit of tragedy, if I said I didn't I'd be a hypocrite. But there's a fine line between interesting drama and boring drama, first off, DO NOT make it that your character's parents abandoned him/her or were killed, that's been done too many times, and it feels kind of lazy because you don't then have to design a family. For good drama, take a look at things that could actually happen without social services getting involved realistically. If there's a canon character involved in ANY way (brother/sister/friend/boy/girlfriend) remove that immediately. It's been overdone and canon is canon.
Powers and abilities time! This is where it can all go so wrong. Avoid elemental powers like the plague, they're overused, don't go for telekinesis, either, again, overused. Magic is ok in my eyes, as long as there aren't any spells/incantations that gives you invincibility or instantly heals yourself, that's over the top, and don't go 'He/she learnt it very quickly, because they're a natural!' because that's a cop-out, Alyss uses magic and she's still not perfect at it. Don't make them better than canon characters. EVER D|
Personality quirks, this is an add-on to the backstory, really, think about the emotional damage whatever happened in the past has given. HOWEVER, do not make your character just moan and moan about how they were wronged as a child, don't make them a Shadow the Angstyhog, please. May for instance is scared of getting lost because she did that when she was 10 and her father didn't care. Stuff like that, y'know?
As a final note, a lot of you aught to toughen up a little. Stop overreacting to criticism! Especially if it's constructive, don't focus n the negative and start looking at the positive, too, take the negative on board and then try harder seguinte time. Don't use the excuse of 'it's my style' that doesn't make up for basic anatomy flaws. Don't go all-caps rage on the person who gave it, they're trying to help you get better.

Hope this has helped a lot of you!

Meranden (nickname:denny) is a robber who only robs because of a person who talks to her through telepathy, but she doesn't know who is talking to her. All she knows is whenever the person wants something and she refuses to get it, she feels a very sharp pain throughout her body for an unlimited amount of time. She can tell the person she'll get the item through telepathy too. They meet up (though the person is invisible) and she gives the item(s) to the mysterious person and then she's free for a couple months. During that time frame, she enjoys life like a regular person, and always wishes she can meet Sonic the Hedgehog. Only when the mysterious person asks for something, is when she'll gear up with her gadgets and suit. She also has the ability to copy her opponent in any movement or power.

Loud and obnoxious shrieks of utter terror were unleashed through the walls of the deceased man who was only referred to as The Doctor. It was no surprise for people indigenous to the area, which is a grand total of one. Screams happen all the time, and he despises them. The very person who causes the yelling is the one who hates it, irony at it's finest. His name is Dsy, a teenage boy who has Amnesia and short-term memory loss.
"I hate the loud noises, I fucking told you!"
His angry remark was followed por the clanking sound of a cleaver. His generic black clothes were slathered in in blood. He smirked at the decapitated head of yet another victim.
"Another sin for humanity, another strain on my blade."
