THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF FANFICTION. you get to create a fictional human being. their looks, personality type, traits, quirks, mannerisms, and actions are totally up to you! you can create heroes, villains, and people in-between. it's actually amazing once you think about it.

okay, sorry about my little nerdy rant there. but making characters is so FUN.

that being said, it can also be hard. that's why i'm here to help!

did you know that there are more than just the main characters in the glade?? just a reminder that there are at least sixty people!! sixty!! that's why, in order to make your story more realistic, you're probably going to want to add in some characters of your own.

the best example of this that i've done is my book Aegis (i really don't know how many of you have read my stories). basically, i have more OCs in there than canon characters. let me introduce you to some of them. all of the faceclaims will be listed at the end!

starting with the most obvious, here's dylan!! (rip me for using such an overused faceclaim in 2014.) she's from my newt trilogy so i lied and this isn't just Aegis characters oops. she's thomas' twin, is incredibly smart, and amazing at martial arts.

and now theo!! he's a fan-favorite and a lil mexican builder, disabled bean
