A mega list of sci-fi character creation keywords

People create sci-fi characters for a variety of reasons, most likely because

• For fun

• For making AI videos

• For creating games

• To make cool avatars

• To improve storytelling in eBooks and other media

It's simple to create a random sci-fi character with Midjourney. You may not even need a guide or keyword. However, if you want to create a unique character with specific characteristics, knowing the keywords can be immensely helpful.

This article includes over 300 tested keywords for creating sci-fi characters. The keywords are organized into six major categories. I've tried them ALL and will share some of the best examples.
