Eh, I think if you get bellow 30, you’re doing ok. If you get bellow five, your character is boring. At least they aren’t Mary-Sues though…

Awe, a little romance in fanfictions can never go astray. ^__^

Actually, I haven’t much seen you around on these here boards… Have you introduced yourself in the wormhole section??

Lol! Well, g’day all the same! Hope to see you posting on as many topics as possible. ^__^

OH THE INSANITY! XD

*waves arm frantically about* Me! Me! Pick me! Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!! ME!

I sure was! Love OCs... as long as they're not Mary-Sues. ^__^

And I love art. *heart*

Well i dont have a problem with it at all but like everyone else I dont like ...
-when they are the main thing in the story
-the best out of the team
-when one of the team members fall blindlessly in love with them and get all out of caractor(or in other words are just not themselfs and are more "passionate or "sensitive")
-when somehow the oc is accepted to the group for no apperent reson just because they recued them or the one of the caractors has fallen in love with the oc
-when the oc's life is soooo depressing and only because the writer wants the main caractor(s) to give them attention or to feel bad for them
-when theres no good story to back-up the oc's reson to be accepted in the group
-or when the oc is soo drop dead georges and EVERYONE in the main group are in love with her/he
-or when the caracter will do almost anything to get the oc's attention

 WOW! i did not think it would be this long but thats just what i think of ocs
but other than that ,if the story and caracter is beleivable and fits the settings then its a good loonaticsxOC story !

You forgot to mention the male version of "Mary Sues"...The male version is called, "Gary Stu".

...Unless they changed it recently.

The problem is nowadays that if somebody says that someone else's a character is indeed a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, they try to change the character by saying they had a bad past.

Big Whoop! That makes them even more of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu than they were before!

My OCs have no powers, because they were on the other side of the world when the meteor hit. If I were ever to write a series of fanfictions, the focus would be on the action... And because my OCs aren't part of the team, they obviously can't be the focal point. ^__^

Lawlz! I like prop OCs. ^__^

Akira, that's perfect. ^__^

I hate it when people make their oc's ENTIRE LIFE STORY the main focus of a story. X_x

I support LUXOC pairings (except for the Mary-Sue and Gary-Stu ones).

In fact I have LUxOC parings myself too.

Here's who they are

RevxBia (it's a anthroxhuman pairing)

TechxLaura

Danger DuckxMelina

RipxJeri (another anthroxhuman pairing)

and SlamxAgnes pairing.


For those of you who know me from DA (as Sony-Mae), you seen pictures of what my OCs look like.

Why would you be rude?

Erm, this is always a difficult topic. Allow me to shed some light on my opinions.

I think the general approach taken when writing an original character into a story is to give them a central role. This usually happens because the character was conceptualized and completed even before there was a story idea to work with. More often than not, though, a character is created to establish someone's place in the fandom. Don't know what I mean? Think about it; when I mention a certain fan character's name, you're usually familiar with their creator. For example, if I said "Bia", you'd probably think of Sony-Mae. Fan authours and artists are almost always recognized for the characters they've created. A fan character stands out as unique amongst other fan creations, and therefore differentiates (sp?) between authours. It also makes doing requests and gift art easier, too.

When I approach character creation, the first thing that comes to mind is 'how will they fit?'. I try to include a character as a member of the cast, not as the star attraction. And I try to downsize their role a bit, so that they won't detract or distract from the central story. It isn't a crime for your character to be interesting, just don't let them hijack the plot in favour of telling their life's story.

There really isn't any wrong way or right way to write in an OC. After all, most of the tips you'll hear are somewhat contradictory. I think the best thing you can do is do what you feel is right for your character, and your story. Circumstances differ after all.

I'm in the (very) early stages of working on a Loonatics fanfiction that features non-canon characters. Sadly enough, I'm guilty of the LoonaticxOC cliche, but I feel that it's necessary to the story, and for more than one reason.

I agree with what you said Iggy (I'mma call you Iggy, kay?). I don't like it when an OC just randomly appears out of nowhere... and it's like, "Oh... We bumped into each other in the supermarket and fell head-over-heals for one another. Now we're getting married and having 17 babies." (ok, exaggeration... But you get what I mean?)

Like, with my OC, Mairi (pronounced Mah-ree... I'd just like to get that across... It's not Mary like Oddity's OC... Mairi is short for Amara... I IZ NOT COPYING. D8 !)... She was introduced to Duck through a line of people... And it began as a work based relationship... With something completely un-related to the crimefighting thing...

... Eh... I can't be bothered getting into it... But, you know... I made her fit... And explained the pictures in Duck's room AT THE SAME TIME. 8D

Which, you know... Is always a good thing.

Yeah... I'm rambling right nao. I'mma gunna stop. Because I'm getting a serious headache. ;__;

But here on Earth, sticks have leaves and we call them trees! 8D

Exaggeration is FUN! 8D

*insert a funny scenario wherein I demonstrate how fun exaggeration is*

Oh Yeah! Took the test and got a 16!!

....AHEM...

Soooo as far as LUxOC pairings go, I think the well written one's are fine.
I used to be TOTALLY against them, to the point where I didn't even want to SEE a description with an OC in it.


Buuuut after reading a few *the first being The Fragile BTW * and then making my own OC (which means I can't talk lol) ....soooo I'm fine with it

I'm going to write the story of how my Oc meets the Loonatics.....in time....after my Rev & Rip fic

8b XD

I Wanna Make Sure My Char Isn't A Gary-Sue!

Bio:

Tristian

Species: Human

Uniform: White

----------------

Abilities: (Trying to make him as least of a Gary-Sue as possible, but to give him a reason of recruitment too!)

Battle meditation: Tristan can meditate in order to temporarly boost his allies abilities. 

Life Empower: Can grant life into non-living objects. (He can't control it though)
Radation: When the Loonatics brought him to the base, he somehow gave each of them (only!) one new power (Not a Uber power though).
Agility. (Self taught)

Flight rockets. (Made by Tech)

Life Story:

Tristian was born and abandoned at an orphanage.  (He didn't care about his parents, but he did feel a tad lonely somedays! )
 
17 years later, the orphanage is attacked by Mastermind and Black Velvet, who were assigned by my O.C. Villain Malak because of his special ability to manuipulate the life energy around him, which Malak wants to create a immortal army.

So the Loonatics go and stop the two villains and the scene features Tristian getting hit by a car and Tech having an uber moment.  He wonders why MasterMind and Velvet were trying to find him and decides to report this to Zadavia.

After that,  Ace has a flirtatious moment with Lexi (Yes, it's Ace/Lexi too!).

So Zadavia tells the group that Tristian has special powers and she diecides to let Tristian join the Loonatics.

So he gets his uniform and goes into combat training with Ace and Tech.  And in one part, falls on Tech, he apologies, and leaves blushing (A crush! a crush!).

That's all I'm going to say for now!  You can ask questions later!
Sooo...Is He Alright?

I think it's normal having LU Charz x OCs pairing / - s, don't I?

*likes where Brigid's head is at*

*sighs*
nothing special for me
because my OC and me will never have girlfriends, I rather stick with friendship than love, so that's it...

Awe. Unrequited love... Mairi has it too. :3

Mairi: LOVE MEEEEE!!! DX
Duck: Get off!! *forceful shoving*

A Mary-Sue is a female character that has the same traits and qualities of every other female character ever invented within fanfictions... Smart, exceedingly beautiful, powerful, perfect, falls in love with one of the main characters with ease, has insane fighting skills that are better than everyone elses, has a dramatic and shady past, suffers a lot of pain most of the time, gets kidnapped in spite of their awesome ability just so their love interest can save them, at which time they suddenly become really powerful again and help save the world.
