If you have a concept of a story but no character concepts, you might run into many problems, like the story being boring. For a good story, the first thing you gotta do is to make a character, perhaps an OC, and fit this character into the situation. You gotta ask: "What would this character do in this situation?"
Long story short, people who have OCs have a way better chance at writing good stories/screenplays.
