Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! I have some progress on more characters to populate the island, going off of last month's polls and suggestion boxes. This post will be more a general round table discussion, to get more a feel of what we can improve, and any other suggestions.
On the far left is our Pro Gamer Protagonist, which has been mostly designed out save for a few minor things.
The next three characters are a Skater Daddy and his two sons, a Himbo Gymbro, and a Lil Brat. Skater Daddy is something of a tall otter. Himbo Gymbro is a personal trainer with a quite friendly personality. Lil Brat is much slimmer and shorter than his brother, and has a mischievous personality. I think more work needs to be done in figuring out the Lil Brat, as he doesn't have much visually going for him. Any suggestions in how to make him more interesting? Maybe I could make him an absolute troublemaker.
Crypto Bro is mostly unchanged from his original concept sketches.
Work on the Biologist has begun, and I was figuring out his look based on the descriptions given. I feel like giving him hiking shorts, a scarf and an explorer's hat would look cute! It really gives him personality too. But maybe he could be slimmer? Does the rather nerdy personality suit him? Does he look too similar to another rather famous BL game that involves scouts?
Butler has a cheerful and bright personality, there to serve the Pro Gamer Protagonist. Sometimes he will just pop out of the blue like an apparition when least expected. He is handy and helpful, but sometimes make snarky comments about other people. In addition to English, he also speaks Filipino.
Work was started on the lifeguard, but I still feel like more concepts need to be done. Different outfits could help, and some character quirks could make him more interesting. I would still like to explore more on this character.
And there we have it. What are your thoughts on the above? The more comments the better, to get a feel of what you like or dislike. We should aim to make very interesting characters with varying quirks. In another post we can have another suggestion box for more characters, so please watch out for that.
But please do comment and like below, so we can make an interesting and fun BL together!
Comments
I wanted to go into greater detail with all of the characters so far, so this is what I have in mind for them, feel free to agree or disagree, sorry if it’s very long, I enjoy fleshing out characters: Pro-Gamer - He seems to be well fleshed out but maybe a recuring element would be that he would tend to spout out random game lingo when just trying to have a normal conversation "I need another life." (exhaustion), "You want to be my companion?" (new friend), "I need to power up." (breakfast), "Let's do a barrel roll!" (surfing), etc. A fun gag could be that he constantly gets screen calls from his doting Mother who is always proud of her "little boy", while playing games, so he has to "clean up" his room before answering, while his Dad is more level headed but understanding and knows what he does in his off time, he insists that he gets out more and meet a nice guy. I'd go with the name Skylar Rhodes for him (after seeing another comment), and his username could be something like "SkyRoad". Lil Brat Bro - I agree with making him an absolute troublemaker, a guy who loves playing pranks on other vacationers, smoke bombs, sand pits, water blasters, streaking, etc, some of which could backfire, he could also enjoy very sugary snacks until he crashes, which contrasts with his brother's more protein filled diet, and his interactions with the protagonist could involve playing games, but he just plays on impulse, which usually results in multiple game overs. His quirk could be that he's actively trying to get his father's and brother's attention because he feels invisible compared to them because of how talented they are when all he does is make a mess, but otherwise, he feels lonely and just wants to make friends. He could have more of a bubble butt to make up for his slim figure and maybe he could be the horniest of the family who can cum multiple times in a row without stopping, even in public. For a name, I think something like TJ, Thomas Jacob, and maybe his introduction could involve his 18th birthday. Himbo Gymbro - Perhaps he could put the protagonist through rigorous training regimens and giving him advice on how to stay active, which end up exhausting him by the end of the day. A recurring gag could be that he gets so focused on his training that he tunes out everything else, such as losing his swimsuit whether in the sea or a pool or even in the locker room where he just walks out without it without even realizing it, so he has plenty of backups. His quirk could be that he feels like he needs to be the backbone of the family, after seeing what his Dad went through after his Mom left, he just wants him and his brother to relax and enjoy life, even if it means he won't be able to go to college. As a protein lover, when he's not eating loads of meat, he could enjoy sucking himself off to swallow his own cum, a trick that he's mastered in any position, even while standing, and maybe he could unintentionally feel up the guys he's trying to train without realizing it. I think the name Kyle or Jim would suit him, and he could be 22. Skater Daddy - Maybe he could be a kind of man who tries to look cool but ends up making a handful of mistakes like wiping out on his skateboard or ripping his clothes in front of people without knowing it, but is still trying to be a supportive father to his sons, cooking for them, spending time with them and trying to be a good influence on them. His interactions with the protagonist could be him trying to get along with people his sons' age, but struggling to understand things like video games. His quirk could be that even though he's good at being a "cool dad", he's exhausted from trying to keep his youngest out of trouble and keeping up with his eldest son's workout regimen, but he wants to be is the kind of dad his sons can look up to, while at the same time, he's trying to fulfill his longtime dream of becoming a pro skateboarder. His dick size is the biggest out of everyone, a full foot-long when soft and even longer and thicker when hard. A good name for him I think would be Richard, Ricko as a nickname when skateboarding or surfing, and he could be 38, if he's a teen dad. Crypto Bro - The type of guy who is good at talking to people, saying exactly what they want to hear in order to make them like him, he's good at winning people over and is even better at getting what he wants through sheer flattery and slight condescension, but really, he just hates everything and ends up being the butt of most jokes. He could consider himself as the protagonist's greatest rival after he sees right through his act and undoes his "hard work" with a single contradiction, so he considers pivoting his career to gaming, only rage quit every time. His quirk could be that he grew up with rich parents with high expectations, but had no luck making friends who didn't use him for his money, so he uses his crypto empire to fill the lonely void by taking advantage of people who once took advantage of him. As for sex, he could easily be a power-bottom, a guy who's used to sitting on a throne, but immediately gives in when someone manages to lift him up. I think he should simply go by Crypt0Bro, with his real name being hidden, and he could be around 21. Biologist - I think that the biologist looks great, maybe he could use a camo vest or a backpack for carrying things. As for personality, I think he should be the kind of guy who puts emphasis on adventure and science, a confident man looking for new discoveries, in a fun way, but can easily freak out when things go wrong, like falling down a mudslide, of getting caught in a trap, kinda like Ryuuta from Star Love. He enjoys traveling through the forest wearing only shoes and a backpack, as he feels that the fewer items he carries, the sooner he can return to his work. His quirk could be that his main focus in his research is to develop an aphrodisiac that can make men ejaculate as many times as possible without exhaustion, a side project that he keeps secret from his superiors, along with a serum that can elongate men's dick size, with mixed results. He could recruit the protagonist on his own little discoveries or adventures, and when searching for what he needs, which would often result in having to bail him out of trouble. For a name, I think Marco would be good for him and I think he should be 20. Butler - He seems like the kind of guy who, while he keeps a respectable distance, he will do whatever he can to meet his needs, which means learning all he can about him even through more questionable means. He also seems like the kind of guy who will do whatever the protagonist says (within reason), like he could simply order him to strip naked whenever he wants, even in public and he'll gladly do it, or he could just ask him to have sex with him if he's not busy, but he simply wants to be his friend. Perhaps his quirk could be more of a 4th wall break, where he can add options to the protagonist if he feels that there's something else he can do, and the appearing out of nowhere sounds like a good idea as it also acts as a sort of 4th wall break. While swimming, I think he should wear a tuxedo thong and bowtie. A good name for him I think would be either Trevor, Martin or Samuel and he could be 24. Lifeguard - His quirk could be that he's kind of guy who took the job simply to check out hot guys on the island and get credit for college, but has little experience in swimming so he uses a hydro cycle more often than the other lifeguards, which could be the way that he meets the protagonist, he mostly works the nude beach simply to check out naked guys and work on his tan, so he never has tan lines, but is a nudist in general. He could develop a close friendship with the Himbo Gymbro and become workout partners (possibly more), and given his size, they could even become selfsuck buddies, and perhaps he could even inspire him to become a physical education teacher, one who can swim. He could easily have a variety of swimsuits simply to show off and see what other guys like, so he's more of a collector of designer swimsuits rather than someone who enjoys wearing them. His age could be 23.

2025-07-15 04:19:47 +0000 UTCWe will see, the brat is probably the twinkiest, so I am not sure yet how hairy I will want to make him. Speaking of which, I may throw another poll on the protagonist's hair soon.
Maruten
2025-07-14 18:42:01 +0000 UTCDepending on what region he is from, I would have to make it accurate to whatever region he is from. The tattoos in fashion now are from Kalinga, but that is a very different region from Palawan, which the lifeguard may be from. I'd have to do more research on that!

2025-07-14 18:40:39 +0000 UTCThe resort I went to did have a mascot, Timmy The Turtle. I never saw the fursuit mascot (there are clips online) ,but I have a nice plush toy of him. I was thinking the mascot of the island could be a manatee (dugong).
Maruten
2025-07-14 18:36:45 +0000 UTCWith the vines idea, I would have to be careful that if it involves sex, that it is still "consensual", as Patreon has been critical in the past of "bondage", as much as I like that idea. But I will see what I can do!
Maruten
2025-07-14 18:34:47 +0000 UTCThese are all good suggestions. Maybe not so much the clumsy himbo, as the biologist is already clumsy. But maybe the himbo would give tips on good weight training form, with some body contact involved.
Maruten
2025-07-14 18:28:11 +0000 UTCI will certainly keep the round glasses, but will keep sketching out more of th eother elements.
Maruten
2025-07-14 18:25:21 +0000 UTCThat biologist sketch (mostly the glasses) makes me think Milo from Atlantis Lost Empire. Which I’d say is a good direction! Maybe if you lose the scarf the CB vibe goes away.

2025-07-02 13:24:50 +0000 UTCAnd for the little brat, though he's smaller and slimmer than his friendly brother, he could have inherited some of his dad's "otterness" 😜 I could see him with hairy pits, a slightly furry chest and a thick treasure trail...
Lucca Berger
2025-07-02 12:50:50 +0000 UTCFor the lifeguard, maybe a filipino tattoo along his arm could make him more interesting and distinctive?
Lucca Berger
2025-07-02 12:49:14 +0000 UTCThe life guard could also be leading some water exercise sport groups or be the entertainer for some other events by the resort. That would make him show up in different places in different outfits. He or the butler could be wearing a mascot suit at some point which could lead shenanigans.

2025-07-01 14:36:38 +0000 UTCfor the Biologist when I thought about his design I once didn't had CB in mind XD but kida funny ngl. anyways please the exporers hat would be so nice on him and I think it would also suit him if he is nerdy and clumsy often mixes up nametags, trips and falls and such things, a plot for his clumsyness could be that he acedentaly trapped himself in vines or he ate the wrong bery/fruit that boosts his libido into orbit. maybe somehting like that plus the hiking shorts are a great idear perhaps as top a west? I don't see him beeing flitry on purpose but his clumsyness and aperiance makes him cute. for the Lil brat: perhaps implimenting some punk styles clothes or multi collored hair plus what was written below an exptic pet would be fun like a snake who likes to wrap around his uper body and just "sleeps" on his shoulder or so those where my sugestions for the two I think you alr. had soe god Idears on the others like the himbo seems prety round up to me hinestly plus the others also wrote a lot about them

2025-07-01 14:09:07 +0000 UTCooohhh a snake would be fun

2025-07-01 13:58:30 +0000 UTCFor anyone who doesn't want to look up the joke, I'll give you a hint: Mg₂Mg₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂ is the chemical formula for a mineral known as Cummingtonite. Another fun fact about this compound is that its IMA (International Mineralogical Association) mineral symbol is "Cum".

2025-07-01 13:25:26 +0000 UTCFor the Biologist, I like the idea of a nerdy scientist personality. I could see him trying to flirt by using cheesy science pickup lines, but then get super embarrassed when they fall flat. To make him look a bit more unique, maybe he can have a tattoo of his favourite plant or something like that? Also, he could have shirts and accessories (mugs, notebooks, etc.) with science jokes printed on them. For example, I really want him to have a shirt that says "Are you Mg₂Mg₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂?" (hats off to you if you get the joke without looking it up).
Leo
2025-07-01 13:00:03 +0000 UTCFor Lil Brat, maybe he can have a pet spider or a pet snake that he carries around with him to freak people out?
Leo
2025-07-01 12:28:35 +0000 UTCRegarding the lifeguard, maybe he's the guy in charge of a nudist beach (like I talked about previously) and is secretly a nudist. I imagine he is also the lifeguard at the nudist beach but is also bare. He enjoys showing how good it feels to be naked and encourages those to do so. But if he sees anyone on thr nudist beach not nude he might strip them jokingly

2025-07-01 08:05:20 +0000 UTCSo I have some quirk ideas for the characters. Himbo: So for the himbo character I see him being very clumsy. He somehow manages to trip over himself but always laughs about it. I can also see him accidently flirting with the people he is training sometimes realizing what he is doing and sometimes not realizing what he is doing. Crypto Bro: A quirk that I think would be interesting for the crypto bro is that beginner in crypto. He brags about being an expert but in reality he doesn't know what he is doing. Lil Brat: A quirk for him that I can see is he loves to pull pranks but those pranks always backfire. Lifeguard: A few fun quirks that I can see with the lifeguard character is he doesn't know how to swim but, when he sees someone he is attracted to in trouble in the water he will suddenly know how to swim in the moment. Another one quirk is he only feels comfortable swimming completely naked and when he saves someone he is attracted to he gets a major hard on. Butler: A quirk I can see him with is he is very nosy. If he hears something that is really interesting he will ease drop on that person's conversation and if that person is going through something rough he will pop out and offer advice.

2025-07-01 07:45:52 +0000 UTCMy idea for the biologist: a suitcase with the word "laboratory" written on it! And I would find it hot if he opened his pants and then you saw a flower coming out like a paradise, followed by a huge, fat cock, completely unexpected!
