The issue with original characters...

I think I can see why people would develop a hatred for this sort of thing. The idea of character creation encourages the use of imagination, and thought to make something unique. From the looks of it, some people prefer not to put much of any thought into their idea. Instead, these people copy, paste, and only slightly tweak an already existing character.

  • Being someone who puts a good amount of thought into character creation, I don't like the copy/paste method, either. Are there other major reasons for hating original characters, besides this? Or is it the main cause?

  • I don't think character creation in and of itself, is a bad thing. I guess the hatred comes from people overdoing things, or not doing enough. What do you think? This is meant to be a discussion, not a rant.

  • I think it's because of the copy and pasting thing that's getting people so angry. If it's your "original character" then you should at least try to put some effort in your character. Though, there are some really good ones out there.

  • I came up with two Sonic inspired characters earlier this year, on Art Academy. They aren't hedgehogs.

  • What's good about my OCs is that they usually come from my dreams <:D

  • I think a large problem with OCs is that they are often just Mary-Sue's. Since the creators only focus on making their character seem perfect, they forget about making the character interesting and they hardly try to interact with other characters.

  • Yeah, there's that, Dominik. No character is truly invincible.
