How to create a OC (simplified)

Ever wondered how people create those really unique OCs? Well this is a really simple way of making them.

1.) Think of the kind of story you’ll be writing.
Is your OC going to be in a horror Fanfic? Or a romantic fanfic? Or are they going to be in a Fanfic set in the Victorian era? Think of what you’re Fanfic will be about before you decide other things.

2.) Decide the basics.
What will their name be? What are the hair, skin and eye color? How old are they? How tall are they? What are their family like?

3.) Do some ‘what ifs’
Try to think ‘What would my oc do if their family was robbed’ or ‘What would your OC do if they forgot lunch’ try to think about what your OC would do, this will give you an idea of what their personality is like.

4.) Give them some faults.
If you think your character is too perfect give them some faults, otherwise your story will seem boring. Don’t make them tall, thin and beautiful (don’t make them a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu.)

5.) Think of how your character would talk.
Imagine if in your Fanfic your character was having a conversation with someone. Would they be polite? Would they be awkward? Try to imagine it.

6.) Make sure they are interesting to you!
If your OC bores you, they will most likely bore others. Make sure they interest you and are fun to write about!

Good luck!
Well.... I decided to write this since I have a habit of being simple minded, and thought others could benefit from it. Please ask if you have any request for my next tutorial!
