I'm Actually Thinking Of Making My Own Clone OC. Any Tips?

I'm actually thinking of making my own Clone OC. Any tips?

Sure, I can offer what I’ve got! I’m gonna try and separate this answer into a few sections, but here’s the image folder I have for all of my clone refs to start with-

I update this every now and then when needed, and I’ll be using images from there for this answer! There are many more named clones and image refs out there on the internet, don’t be afraid to google something if you need help!

Faces:

Clone’s (obviously) all have the same basic face shape (save for the Bad Batch, but I’m not gonna get into them for this).

They all have warm brown skin and wide/prominent noses. You can look up the live action actor for Jango (Temuera Morrison) for more IRL face references too if you need to. Hair customization, tattoos, facial hair and scarring can do A LOT to distinguish clones from each other. Hair can be dyed and cut however, so long as it fits in a helmet (like with Tup, he has long hair tied up into a tight bun.) Eyebrows are also customizable. Pluck them into a different shape, shave them off, dye them, have fun with it!

Armor:

Clone armor has a lot of room for customization as well. Clones can paint whatever they’d like on them, but if their squad/battalion or whatever has a specific color scheme then they’ll mostly stick with those colors

Looking up different kinds of clone armor for different situations/ranks is helpful too! This video does a breakdown of every type of clone trooper rank/type:

Names:

Clones are all given numbers at birth. To distinguish each other, they all give each other more unique names as they grow up. They can be named for a personality habit, a distinct moment from their training / any point in their life, or they can have normal sounding names like Gregor. It’s all preference, but some clones are stuck with a name that came from a reputation regardless of if they like it or not.

Here’s image compilations of some Clone Commanders/Captains/ARC troopers and more for examples:

Personality:

Clones are all unique individuals. They have varying personalities, likes/dislikes, habits, etc. Consider their backstory and experiences in training/on the field to help shape them, be sure to do your best to give your clones aspects of their personalities that make them feel like real and believable people!

There’s plenty more you can do for making your clones, but this post is just a rundown of the basics. I hope any of what I said here was helpful to you, and have fun making your clones!

Cody- No one can survive a fall from that height Kenobi in the Rako Hardeen arc- *falls off a building and is absolutely fine*

Ok now you got me thinking on whether or not this is supposed to be a testament to how Obi Wan is too good at taking a beating.

Of course, there is the fact that the falling off the building thing was part of the whole “faking his death” thing so I imagine he prepped how to fall in a way that looked really convincing.

But at the same time…the man could also just be super resilient.

And I don’t know if I should be scared or impressed that Obi Wan was willing to fall off a fricking building and land on some really hard looking boxes to convince people he was dead.
