i can only make a furry with zero backstory lol! but you guys are great at making full ledged characters!! how!?!

Well, making backstories/lore for characters isn't all that easy. It takes a LOT of creativity and thinking, but with just enough of that, you can make an awesome backstory!!

And with making the OC, do what Moog_cat3 told you to do

Well, here’s what you should come up with to start and then fully flesh it out:
Name
Gender
Home
Species (plays a big role if you’re big on universal lore)
Interests
Job

That should help. I see u like protos so maybe look up ZOR and protogen lore. It definitely helps shape it. I created a species, which I spent hours thinking about for lore.

lol

I don't know, it pops into my head at random times. Then I just make up things, like what Moog Cat listed
