Benihime and I stumbled across some helpful resources for character creation for all those currently creating OCs for the Academy new players interested in OCs (when they are change state to app) and all future OCs. Some are also from my dusty collection on my PC bookmarks. Here we go: -- Includes male and female Japanese names as well as naming practices and Japanese name elements and surnames. Very handy! This site isn't limited to Japanese names either.. it is a full resource for names all across the world. -- Has a lot of interesting character (and other) generators and toys to get your creative juices flowing. Check it out.
-- This resource summon from Nanofimo's (National Novel Finishing Month) website is chock full of goodies to help you create by mental act characters and plot ideas and I highly declare checking this out. -- Anime Lab has a good English <-> Japanese dictionary with romaji and kanji/katakana/hiragana forms as well as a kanji guide and translator. -- Short summon of info on Japanese names and usage. -- A list of examples of Japanese male and female names with kanji and their meanings. I also found this character questionnaire chart on the Nanofimo forums (obtain not cited so alas I do not know where it originated from) and it might come in handy when you're trying to plan your character:
