Seriously! Does anybody else know where people get their characters from?

I think you're referring to the icons? They are earned as you go up in points and available in your profile.

No. Some people like masquerade have certain characters they use to represent themselves in memes. I don't know if they are original characters or commissioned on DeviantArt or what.

I tried to go to that user to see what you were referring to but there was nothing there. Maybe link an example here?

Look through https://imgflip.com/user/Melodramafan and you will see a recurring character.

I guess you could use something like deviantart, but I woukld think a google or bing image search starting with anime should get you going in the right direction.

Ok. I'm just afraid of intellectual property copyrighting.

that's on the site owner, not the user

True

What is an OC anyways?

Original character.

Oh ok thanks!
