Yes

Congratulations

The tags summed up some of my OCs

(Note: they are only that way for some stupid story I am making)

Oh ok lol
This is just my opinion though, you do whatever you think is most interesting to you :D

Thats....very hurtful

I didn't want to hurt you, this post isn't supposed to be about you...
Please don't feel bad about anything :(

I had this person in an rp who one shots my oc then says their oc is immortal then procedes to call it balanced.

Ikr?
The same thing happened to me lol.

This man speaks the truth.

And that's why I like your ocs a lot.
Dust is powerful, but you don't abuse his abilities and you make him a fun character.
And Bloody is like a normal human, as he isn't powerful so it allows for interesting character interactions. (Like Cirrus being able to capture him as a ghost)
Adam and Red are like less powerful Dusts, and Cherry and Zackary are mostly powerless.
That's what makes your characters great for storyline, they're more focused on the lore and personality traits instead of just being powerful for no reason.

Thanks! :D
By the way you are REALLY going to like my next redesign.

Np!
And I can't wait to see what it's like! :)

You know what, here you go.

That looks so cool!
Also, you used color! Nice!

Yeah, it took a bit of retries, but I did it.
It’s p e r f e c t

I might make a colored version of one of my ocs soon if I get the time, later though.
This looks really great though-

Yeah, thanks man.

Spoiler alert: d e a t h
I mean that's obviously a part of his backstory lol.

*WHEEZE*

lol. Also, the wholesome Bri'ish bean girl is an important character in his story.
The story is in England and they're e x t r e m e l y b r i t i s h because why not.

W h o l e s o m e

Oh trust me, it doesn't stay wholesome for too long-

Yeh.

Yeh np

Who should I color next?

Hmmm...
...maybe Bloody and/or Cherry, since they're best beans :3

Aight, I’ll do them soon.

oki

The s w e a t i n g has begun.

lol
rn, I'm writing a backstory for one of my characters-
So yeah. Might post it whenever I finish (in a while lol), not 100% sure if I should though.

W h o ?

I'm writing it about Sir Soul.
It's gonna be

Holy
Shoot

Yes

Yeah.
My main issue with op ocs is when one of them instantly kills off someone else's character in a fight and because most op ocs are bland due to the lack of any character development or backstory. As long as the characters don't abuse their power, I honestly think powerful ocs can be well-written and function well in a storyline, it just takes more effort. :)

Like you can have a balanced character it's not that hard.

Ikr?

Also, do you ever have those fights in rp with a person and they completely shrug of your attacks while instakilling you in 2 seconds? Nightmares.

Oh yeah, I really dislike those-
I usually avoid rp fights because of that reason lol.
I don't even understand how people find it fun to instantly incinerate someone else's character.
Because I think that a balanced/not powerful character with flaws creates the best storyline tbh, but it seems others don't I guess.

Exactly, what is fun about a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu? They have all the personality of a cardboard box, and roleplaying with them isn't that fun too.

Coincidentally, one person on here's extremely overpowered oc literally is a cardboard box lol.

Anyway yeah, I really find "ideal" or "perfect" characters to be really annoying and just straight-up bland. Flaws and weaknesses allow for interesting character interactions and character development, detailed and non-cliche backstories allows one to connect better to a character and makes the oc more fleshed out, and varying personalities among characters allows for much more fun roleplay and makes them stand out more.

I've roleplayed with that guy so I can 100% agree with you there-

I also agree with the ideal character thing. I think the more flaws a character has, the more likable they are because we can relate to them better than the magical fairy princess that's 1000% flawless.

Exactly. Relatability is important for making a likable character that appears more believable. Even if the character is supposed to be a villain/disagreeable person, providing them interesting traits allows for them to not be found as an annoyance, but as an important figure with a harsh personality. And I don't think anyone other than the creators find anything likable about a character who is basically a god and has zero personality, who also kills everyone by just looking at them. It's no fun imo.

I wish more villains were more like the harsh personality but real flaws type, seeing the perfect god and the totally 100% evil. I think villains can make some of the best characters, that's what making them is a daunting task. (I'm working on two, but need to get their personality down.)

Yeah, villains are super important to storyline and they can be amazing characters, but they're very difficult to make well. They must have justified reason for their actions (not just a "some dude hurt my feelings" situation) and need to have both likable yet dislikable personalities at the same time to function best. Their interactions with the protagonist/their opponent must be reasonable as well. (I'm also currently working on one, but they still need a lot of work and planning)

I feel that the best villains are the ones that actually try to do good things, they could just have a different view of the world from their past experiances.

Mhm!
Anyway, I gtg to sleep rn.
It was nice talking to you! :D

It's nice talking to you too, go get some rest and have a good night!

I agree. I don't think that villains who just "are evil" are of any substance. There has to be something to them that makes their actions seemingly negative to their enemy, but they don't believe what they do is wrong/they have different views, as you said.

EXACTLY.

Goodnight! :)

Night!

Right? Can’t people have normal oc’s?
