So, You got any ideas on Making a Persona for Youtube and other Social Media?
I know I made one Named “Skai’ro” but there’s gotta be more to it…
Predator Persona for Social Media

Use a yautja name generator
(If this topic is what Im thinking it is.)
Depends on how you plan to use that Persona/Character.
It’s one thing to make one, and another to build one based around your Audience.
I’m going to assume the safe an intended Audience use.
Given that you mention YouTube or other platform use.
⭐COMMITMENT-
I assume since you want to do this.
Your committed.
Just keep in mind that sometimes Personas take on life of their own.
After all they are like character in a movie.
You are just the actor behind the idea.
⭐Target Audience -
What I do recommend first is making sure you UNDERSTAND your audience.
What do they enjoy watching?
Are they into
- Heavy music
- High Energy talking!
- Bad-assry with explosions, idk
(These are just examples)
I’d assume you’d want them to enjoy themselves.
But keep in mind that you need to have fun with this too.
Or you’ll burn yourself out on it. (and I mean all the editing that come with Persona’s)
Here is an Example:
I friend of mine, he uses a Demon with an Eyeball for a head.
It started as an Icon of his work.
But he did not have an Audience.
His niche was, he actually wanted to be left alone.
To make art and put it up, but to not be “noticed”.
Clearly stating on his “Characters” profile.
Any who commented on anything he did, would receive a “thank you”.
In forms a ill remarks. As that is what the Demon would do.
In his backstory lore on the account.
The demons take ill forms as thanks.
If you wish them good will and health, it’s an insult instead.
So when people did come, and started commenting.
He would send them messages wishing bad luck on them.
Or curses.
Sometimes saying they were the most horrid piece of garbage he’d ever seen.
Though some took offence,
more took to the liking of his commitment to this “Character”.
As he had already said.
“It’s a character, and I said Id do as the character would do”.
Ending up blowing his account into wild waters with some great people.
He ended up spending more time polishing up his artwork.
The Audience that found him loved it, and he loved his dedication to it.
End of Example
What I am getting at.
⭐HAVE A CLEAR GOAL
No matter how weird it could be.
Stick to it.
It helps build character in your Persona or whatever you wish to call it.
It brings in respect from those that have stuck around from the start of your growth.
It’s fine to break character and get serious or joke at times.
Just keep in mind the face your Audience is use to seeing.
⭐APPEARANCE -
This is depending on what you have access to.
And how committed you are to the whole shindig.
Basically how believable and connected you want to get.
Some people will ask you for more about your Persona depending on Audiences anyways.
But it’s all up to you.
- Pictures/Character Art
- Voice modifiers
- Background history/lore
- Personality traits and situational flaws.
(Is your character shy, loud, bold to the point of stupidity) - Is there appearance simple enough for smaller fan to draw easily.
or Is this dude gonna look like something out of a Darksouls boss.
I mean is this dude/she gonna have a social Media profile?
Dedicated to their sexy skull collection - like look at that polish!
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So it depends on how much you want to put into it.
And, how much you think your audience will enjoy or need to know.
(( I hope this was somewhat helpful, if not I tried))
Wish you good Hunting Fellow Friend!

Sorry late reply! lots of work.
-So you got your looks.
Or at least what the game will allow anyways.
Now you just need to keep building on that.
Give him a story, figure out how he acts on a “hunt” or “camera”.
I’d give you the generic “step by step” on how to grow your set up.
But, it doesn’t always work.
And depends on allot of factors, like people, budget, your personal preference.
Can only recommend exploring everything at your disposal, and wish you good luck.

Aye, Though it might be difficult to give him a story as it takes tame, I’d Consider my Character “Skai’ro” a Yautja who Loves Dinosaurs
