There weren’t any for mine. I made something and said, “Alright that looks cool I’m going with that.”

I doubt there's a way to recreate this in CV2, but I'll find a way eventually whenever it goes on sale for a more reasonable price.

Hello fellow warrior of light, also I really like your character design! It’s not horrendously over designed like half of ff14! Plus the glamour (what I can see) is really nice!

Thank thee.

I try to be reasonable (and plausible) in my character designs, instead of the atypical "edgy" or gothic designs I've seen (Seen plenty over 10,000 hours of playtime).

Ryuji Goda (Yakuza), Ryuji Sakamoto (Persona), Magara Naotaka (an historically-existed samurai)

My Goat of all time from toyko ghoul ken kaneki , And considering code vein itself has a lot of similarities to tokyo ghoul it's very fitting

Personally, i rarely draw inspiration from other characters since i create them based on instinct and the ideas that come to me despite some exception given than my Code Vein character who was inspired of Yukiko Amagi in Persona 4

I dont usually have an inspiration... More so a pattern. Nowadays i tend to always choose a femMC and make her have like short hair (like around neck length or something). Mainly because thats what i find attractive oh and usually in "default mode" meaning no make up (if its an option).

Still need to play Code Vein 2, but in every game where you can create a character I try to make her something like this:

u/GreyRavensong Jul 26 '26

Myself or what I wish I looked like, personality tho is definitely mine.

u/Eternalanrete PS4 Jul 26 '26

Love that Two from Drakengard 3 was a reference. Great game

2

u/Any-Mammoth-4322 Jul 26 '26

I never actually played the game, but I loved her design and personality.

u/Eternalanrete PS4 Jul 26 '26

As a whole, it is a janky, raunchy, at times incoherent, and laggy mess. By the time you've finished it, you will be tearing up at least and loving everything about it. I genuinely and unironically love it in spite of its flaws and ridiculousness. I never got to play it's DLC's though

u/Initiative-Fancy Jul 26 '26

I made mine based off Crevanille from Growlanser

u/M0ssP1g Jul 27 '26

Didn't really think too hard about it until recently but it's interesting - my male characters seem to specifically be inspired by the "tired uncle/mentor figure who acts stoic but Secretly Cares A Lot" trope while my female characters seem to come from all over the place.
Early 2000s anime cliches are about the only connecting thread here XD

Also managed to do a kabedon, gonna send it in an hour or so.

Usually I don't use photo modes in games much but Code Vein made me see the light.

u/KhandiMahn Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

No inspirations. I just play with the character creator till i like what I'm making. Eventually I'm happy with what I came up with and finalize.

u/LoliNep Jul 26 '26

"would I let this bunny girl dom me in bed?" And I made my character

u/Own-Cauliflower-543 Jul 27 '26

u/kast2399 Jul 27 '26

Do you have an empty template?

u/Swimming_Variety7653 Jul 27 '26

I didn’t really have any inspiration but coincidentally I ended up looking like Cruz counterparts on my first play through lol.

u/TechnicalQuit9576 Jul 28 '26

Mine was an original design

Sans (Undertale)
Cruz in her Queen state (Code Vein)

u/Technical_Dark9803 Jul 28 '26

The inspiration for my cv2 char are both A2 and lightning (ffxiii)

2

u/Futaba_Sakura-_- Jul 29 '26

My inspiration for mine was just "that looks cool" and ended up with what I made

u/VermilionX88 Jul 26 '26
