Here's the first page from another really old 4 page comic. Yuneak! about a unicorn who was neglected and went to a magical world and became a superhero? (What was up wth me and superheros?)

I don't blame you. As much as I dread looking at my really old drawings, I'm even more afraid to re-read the writing. I'm still scared because my memory is so bad and I think I'd rather just keep some things forgotten. This event made me notice a lot of my earliest main characters were like "The rest of their kind acts one way but this one DOESN'T. They're YUNEAK!!".

A lot of my old characters are Caucasian teenage to young adult males with dark, spiky hair. But I have been repurposing and redesigning them for about a year now because I've thoughrbof a use both for their old forms and for the new forms Im giving them. Its a story arc that I thought up about 2-3 years ago about the transition between my old worls and my new one.

Yeahs0

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you may find your old characters cringey, or in my case all exactly the same AND cringey, I might be that all they need is some handling from the more experienced you to get them on their potentially awesome feet.

When you're not trying to work with original characters, you're reimagining existing characters. As humans. Once tried to write a humanized MLP fanfic and comic, but never finished the first chapter or could figure out where to go from there. And yes, Spike was still a dog even though story takes place before the end of season 3. ... And on a side note, Luke was once given a shiny winged form.

It's a lot better than mines for sure xDD I made a really weird comic and it was stick figures instead of anime style. so that says a lot about my creativity and how lazy I am xDD

Is there a difference between a poorly written character and a Mary Sue?

Yeahs0

@Lime Green A character that has little to no development and is very inconsistent would still count as being poorly written, without necessarily being perfect and flawless like a Sue. A Sue also affects other characters by their very nature as a Sue tends to make everything all about themselves and try to hog the spotlight: always praised, never wrong, and any hatred at them is unjustified.

Yeahs0

Other issues that are a sign of a character being poorly written can include having no backstory to explain their actions and beliefs (applies to both good and evil), no personality (never disagreeing nor feeling conflicted about anything, always do as their told without thinking it through), and only existing to support another character rather than having a motive of their own.

Yeahs0

@Krauss, they were spot the main character meme's? (if you know what im talking about) x3 *Facepalms so hard at that 'YUNEAK' pun*.... *Facepalms again* @Kellen, even the same personality's? did you make yr own line of garrystue's? But my oldest oldest chara's, i'm not sure they'll ever get full revival, maybe thunder my first oc. he was a horse/unicorn/smthing.

@Power, LUKE BECAME A SUPER SAIYAN!? 0-0 @Kai, So did i actually, it was called Stick guy, it was supposed to be a comedy... i cri everytime... @Sky, even a chara with a super original personality can be poorly written, but what krauss said.↑

Almost all of them were carbon copies, but as I got older I started adding more variety. The personality was the first thing to diverge. But even then they were still pretty bad. Like my second oldest character that I really call his own character never even got his own name, I just called him The Great Spăz. He was an arena fighter that never lost, had a bad attitude and a particular dislike of

Yeahs0

Felines, and there was no reason for any of it. A lot of my old story ideas centered on him and what used to be my made up world. He was the very image of a very bad Gary sue.

Yeahs0

I think part of the problem is that as kids we like happy endings and to see the good guys win, so when we try and make our own story we make sure that no matter what the good guy come out on top. We also don't want them to get hurt so they can face any obstacle with no difficulty. And perhaps this is why we make terrible characters when we're younger.

Yeahs0

make me wonder... How old were you when you made your first character? (This Q goes out to everone to.)

... XD my mind was not so, sweat when i was younger. my first oc i mentioned earlier, ye, he died being crushed by a meteor, but was reborn. Many of them took constent comedic? abuse from the other chara's, but it was anything but. I think i killed several of them... XD WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CHILDHOOD MIND?!

hmm i think i was about..... 14?? definitely 13-15 for sure ^,^ and im out of post Dx... gn peps ^,^)/

Not counting the toy blocks I assembled and called "Little Warrior" when I was in kindergarten, the first attempt of making an original character with a backstory would be... probably late 11 years old. I think in my case I made my earliest characters really special so that they could do a bunch of things, as I had very little to work with at the time.

Yeahs0

I think of it like a toy as a kid. You imagine your first toy is super cool because it's all you have, so you pretend it has all these abilities and powers to make up for being your only toy, and you get creative as you want because it's all just for fun. But one toy is still a bit lonely and can get boring, so you get more and give them their own unique powers.

Yeahs0

But as you have more to play with, there's less of a reason to make them all super cool and you begin to appreciate them more for other things and learn there's more to it than having cool powers to being a cool toy. And once you learn that, you get more serious, trying to make characters that are more realistic, rather than toys. Something like that.
