I’d like to add, there are disabilities that don’t have next to anything to do with a person’s actual body. Mainly Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, etc. These, much like visible, invisible, and/or chronic disorders, are very real and can have major effects on people’s day-to-day lives, and are also often misrepresented into stereotypes. Like with other forms of disability, if you are someone who doesn’t have experience with the mental disability you want to give your character, doing research or even (consentually) asking someone who has the disorder about it, is always a good idea! I say this as a person who is neurodivergent and has Autism, ADHD, and anxiety. I don’t mean this as a critique of Beo’s video, this is just a thought that I had to add to the discussion! Ciao! ❤
Sometime ago i created an OC who has a prosthetic leg, so this video has a lot of good advice! When i put a particular detail on a character i make sure to not make that detail their whole personality Making a little detail a character's whole personality is annoying, it makes them one dimensional and stereotypical
3:26 Thank you for bringing this up! I had a few OCs+headcanons of characters who would use a wheelchair due chronic fatigue, chronic pain and lacked a leg, but I was absolutely annoyed with the wheelchairs in Gacha Club because I would need to realign the wheelchair and character every time I needed them to move and I hated how the arm rest was behind the character due to how flat it felt. When GL2 came out, I wanted them to have the wheelchair be special effects in the extra section so I would be able to animate characters who use wheelchairs, but I was sorely disappointed by the fact that the only chair in the entire game was a swivel gaming chair, and that other people had to make the wheelchair out of an oc when it should of already been in the game.
As person who is disabled myself (Cystic Fibrosis), seeing well-researched representation of either my illness or other respiratory-related illnesses is such an amazing thing, since it's so rare in most modern media like video games, shows, movies, and even written content. I love seeing these sorts of things being brought to Chibimation, because while even though I personally don't need mobility aids, I know that people who do are probably going to be really happy knowing they're included by such an amazing development team.
I actually have a set of disabled OCs, my main one having autism, asthma, and a chronic fainting disorder and the other being a group of mainly female racers who are all disabld in some way. One of them, for example, is diabetic but doesn't let that stop her from racing. Seraphina mitigates her disability with an insulin pump and she has a service dog who knows how and when to turn it on and off.
I actually have two dnd characters that both have disabilities. One of them is mute and communicates through sign languages and also a magic stone that she can use to telepathically communicate (but it really drains her). The other one is a harpy who can’t fly so she has to hop to get around, so she developed arthritis in her legs so she actually has a sledge to get around that is pulled by three dogs. The dogs are also big enough that she can ride one (she is relatively light because partially hollow bones) if she absolutely has to.
This is amazing! When Chibimation comes out, I've been planning on making a disabled OC, and I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure how to flesh him out as a disabled character, but this really helps a lot, and I can't wait for the release of Chibimation, and to see all the cool assets! (^^)
I have bilateral (both ears) hearing loss, and I'm so excited for the hearing aids! Mine are blue, but I wanted them to be green. I was born with hearing loss.
Ty Beo!! I recently came up with a new concept for a story and i honestly wanna have more disabled characters in it, especially physical disabilities because i know little about them and usually only really make characters with autism and ADD/ADHD Edit: also thank you for that character chart, I'm probably gonna use that for a LOT of my characters because i rarely think that much about them
This lady started shouting at me ,my sister and my dad because we parked in a disabled spot but my sister has autism and is non verbal so like…-when we told her she was like “OH IM SO SORRY -“
As soon as I saw this I really wanted to know how to make sure to do things correctly, since I've been thinking about adding more culture and rounding out the universe of the world I'm making, so I'm definitely going to make a note to look into things a lot more when working on specific characters, have a good day/night :D
I love the advice and tips. I always like to see good disability rep. I really like the part about not making their disability the entire part of their character, it’s something that annoys me when it does happen :( Great video Beo!
This is very helpful as someone who only knows one disabled person, and that person is not a great muse. I want to make a story in a somewhat medical setting, and I would hate to create a caricature or a total falsehood. Many thanks Beo‼️🗣️
Actually I really need this, my OC its desabled too, She Lost his leg in an accident but I was still confusse about how to represent it thank you so much for this ❤
hey there, fun fact! I recently found out from a friend that "mute" is a derogatory term and the proper term is nonverbal! I know you more than likely weren't aware, and that's okay.
@@ShiningStarAhsokaTanofanas far as I know, mute is a term for those who physically can’t speak, and nonverbal is for those who have trouble speaking (which doesn’t relate to issues with the vocal chords). If you are thinking of people who call nonverbal people “mute”, you are correct. However, if you are talking about mute people, that is incorrect. Is your friend mute (as in having serious damage to the vocal cords, that makes it hard or even unable for them for speak)? If they are mute (not nonverbal), then I may be incorrect.
I'll keep your advice in mind! I don't have a character who needs a wheelchair or other mobility aids yet, but some characters I have do have disabilities. I'll take your advice and put more research into them! ^^
I just thought here was the best place to ask this, but is it wrong for me to alter a characters disability to match my story. the character in cannon has a muscular disorder putting them in a wheelchair, but with me making a comic and changing everything including their species{I'm mixing them with WOF, which will make them into dragons}, i was thinking of making it a birth-defect where they're missing a leg as I'm struggling to convey them in a way that doesn't center entire chapters around it or seem out of place.
I actually just made a new oc with a problem with his legs and he has crutches, but i didnt know how to make it like.. a thing that never ends besides some lore. He's a demon with human and demon form, and in both forms he can't walk, but he can fly in demon form, just not human form. He died like that and can feel real human emotions and nerves in his human form, but never ages.
Honestly I think I could do great at making characters that have disabilities because of my experience having family with them and I am dyslexic which is a non visible language disability, we also think I have ADHD but my doctor retired before confirming and my great-grandma from old age has almost completely lost her hearing and sight and uses a cane while another great-grandma of mine is paralyzed from the waist down so I think I'd do good making characters with disabilities because I have experience and know people with them
Can I recommend adding glucose monitors to represent the diabetic community? I'm not diabetic but both my parents are so it would mean a lot, of course its 100% up to you! I'm so hyped for chibimation!
Ik you probably will but as a sibling of a person with a disability and as a person with chronic illness PLEASE make sure to do everyday crutches not just medical ones :)
Super good advice!! I have 2 disabled characters ( a lesbian couple, or as i like to say, " my little lesbians 🥺" and one has a prosthetic arm, simply because she was born without a arm, and decided to make it where she always had a prosthetic, even when she was a baby. (Of which baby prosthetics do exist, they look a bit like robotic baby doll limbs and they are super cute) and the second one is mute and uses sign language to speak :) actually started learing sign just so i can better portray her. I love these two so much lol Also the character chart is gonna be super helpful just so that way i can give my characters a bit more personality other than "their gay and have way to much trauma"
Heya, I was wondering if with the wheelchair assets we could re color? My character lives in a desert so I want to give her wheelchair more uhh warmer and dessert focused colors?(reds, yellows, oranges). And other patterns!! I just wanted to know if it was alright to re color or add more onto the wheelchair assets 😭 (obviously with credit)
Hellooo Beo I have a question regarding the assets for Chibimation, are the assets free to use with no credit needed, even though the game is not out yet, or can we use the assets and have to give credit? (Also what drawing up did you use in the video)
YOUR VOICE CHANGED OR WAS THAT BEFORE?? Dang! You sound so good!!! How long did it take to change your voice? I wanna know since I am very curious (And how you did it)
I Actually Have An OC Named Sashika A cat girl who’s Blind She was A Normal girl but was kidnapped and Experimented on Wich made Her Blind She’s one of my Favorite Ocs And she was Really fun to Write!
as someone with mental and had to see a physical therepist for my spine and digenrative disk disorder ive been wanting to make a character whose born with seizure dissorder like i have but im stuck on how to do it
Would it work if I created a character who does plays an important role in the world and while they do face chronic pain, they are like an older sibling to the main character? I am worried that they may end up in an inspirational role, so how can I avoid this?
I have this random quite forgotten oc of mine who is a mage that lost her ability to walk after sum magic accident (I havent finished her lore yet tho so might change aa lot)
Thank you king Beo! 🙏 🩷 Edit: this was very helpful! I wanted a character with a disability but was sure to to approach it. I hated the stereotypes because I've had friends and family with disabilities. I'll definitely use this video and follow it for future characters! I want to include everyone I my content, growing up I loved Gacha and I rarely ever saw someone of my skin color or disabled and I want to bring that to Gacha (like many other creators). 🌸🩷
I'm not mentally a bot, I mean.I have arts.I mean you need to mark It's kind of sick create a picture Imagine dictionary i'm at sleep My aunt's on it's not like that's mean but it do certain aspects of mine.Tell me
advice is for other disabilities like Autism,and,ADHD these, much visible, and disability can,have major effects,and experience and other major experience like people‘s disorders are often forms and Beo‘s thought had to add to it🌷😊hi beo😁
Hey I've had a question for a long time but um i'm not sure if I should ask but, do you use a voice changer? Or did you get some sort of surgery? I do remember when you were a woman before you came out as trans your voice was much higher so I'm wondering how you changed your voice. Just curious please don't be offended :
Ahhh I missed a Beowulf video ❤❤❤ also the video is very useful I have a disabled character I am working at it right now so this video și a very big help , sending health and happiness to you @Beowulf and everyone else
Well you don’t have to put them in your artwork, no one *has* to. I wouldn’t say it’d ruin it though. It’s just a person. Many people DO want to put *disabled* people in their work. They enjoy developing characters that could either reflect themselves, or just simply be interesting. Sometimes adding disabled people can help bring a refreshing take to the artwork, adding story and depth in the character as well. It’s also nice to just experiment with different people, if you have everyone who is basically the same, that’s not really ideal. Not saying everyone has to be vastly different, but it’s just pleasing to have each character have something of their own.
I’d like to add, there are disabilities that don’t have next to anything to do with a person’s actual body. Mainly Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, etc. These, much like visible, invisible, and/or chronic disorders, are very real and can have major effects on people’s day-to-day lives, and are also often misrepresented into stereotypes.

definitely! I'm an autistic person myself and my main OC has autism as well, I really like it when people represent autism positively.
Mhm! I want to make a character with OCD, but I don’t have it myself.
I remember back in like 2022 I made character that couldn’t walk, so I (due to the lack of mobility assets in Gacha) made them levitating
I love that, honestly
Honestly I love the concept of a character with powers that work as aids for their disability, like that!
That would be genuinely so cool. Like if you’re physically disabled and you don’t want a wheelchair you just use telekinesis
Sometime ago i created an OC who has a prosthetic leg, so this video has a lot of good advice!
When i put a particular detail on a character i make sure to not make that detail their whole personality
Making a little detail a character's whole personality is annoying, it makes them one dimensional and stereotypical
I have an OC with a prothsetic leg too!
I tried to make an oc with a prosthetic arm and was so mad when gacha didn't have one.
3:26 Thank you for bringing this up! I had a few OCs+headcanons of characters who would use a wheelchair due chronic fatigue, chronic pain and lacked a leg, but I was absolutely annoyed with the wheelchairs in Gacha Club because I would need to realign the wheelchair and character every time I needed them to move and I hated how the arm rest was behind the character due to how flat it felt.

also for the “stereotypes to avoid” i’d like to add don’t use things like deformities and scars as a shorthand for a character being evil or a bad guy
Yeah! Villains/antagonists can have them, but that should NEVER be the reason for them being a villain/antagonist.

Ooh! I can already tell this video is gonna be helpful! I’m always looking for more ways to make my disabled characters better!

One of them, for example, is diabetic but doesn't let that stop her from racing.

Nice knowing this! I got a disabled oc and bc of that, I wanted to make more!
Thanks for this tutorial

i dont think the template is in the description
The files are in Beo's Discord Server which is posted in the descrption. It's in the Beo's Tavern server, not ChibiMation
17 seconds ago is wild
Oh oh!! Could you guy's put white cane's in your mod? It would be nice to make one in gacha since I'm blind(low vision whatever I have rop)
ChibiMation isn't a mod; it is its own game that a team is starting from scratch from. The white cane has been made already
Chibimation isn’t a mod btw! It’s a game without a connection to gacha.
Is the game out already?
It is not and has no release date at the moment!
