If anyone wanted to write Buddhist characters, I’ll drop some information down below!
- First of all, the typical Buddhist does not have any distinct physical appearance. You don’t have to be Asian to be Buddhist—the religion is accepting of people from other cultures adopting the Buddhist faith! Most Buddhists do not have specific types of clothing, hairstyle, or eating habits.
- That being said, I would strongly recommend against incorporating Buddhist monks/nuns in Episode stories. None of the clothing assets closely resemble the robes that Tibetan/Mahayana monks wear and imitating this may be offensive for some.
- If you want to portray a character meditating, try and decide which branch of Buddhism the character is in! Meditation is a highly valued part of Buddhism and each type of Buddhism has different methods of mediation.
- Above all else: be kind and respectful! Don’t depict Buddhist characters excessively smoking, drinking, yelling, fighting, cursing, or being rude. In general, Buddhist people are calm and kind and believe in doing good so that good will come back to them.
Let me know if anyone has questions! It would be awesome to see more Buddhist characters represented on Episode 
too!
