Ok, I made this book when I was a lot less mature than I am, around eleven years old. I didn't really care about how I put these chapters, just concerned on putting out content and getting reads. I now realize that these rants on characters can be viewed as insensitive and very rude. I'm sorry if this sounds like an excuse, but I take full responsibility for this book. If you are the creator of any of the OCs I made chapters on, please let me know and I will delete the chapter. I sincerely apologize for my wording in these future chapters.
Certain Traits:
This can annoy to no end.
I agree with others that things like nekos and others like that don't belong in the creepypasta community. But other OCs that are demons, angels, and fallen angels shouldn't be judged on their species. Traits like those label possibly good characters as Mary Sues. For instance, I was taking a quiz to see if my very first OCs was a Mary Sue. The rules were like this: if your OC has anything on this list, you add some points. Your number of points at the end determine your result. And one of the things I saw was if your character is a demon or angel, add something from 5-12 points.
This annoys me since it's basically judging someone on something minuscule such as hair or eye color. It might be a great OC, but others don't think that because it's a demon.
Same thing goes for age. A character is a teen but has a good design, backstory, and appearance. BAM! CHANGE THE AGE BECAUSE TEENS ARE MARY SUES AND TEENS CAN'T KILL. Some reviewers are cruel and rude when it comes to feedback. A lot of my own characters were teens and some still are. I had to change a lot to be adults because I would definitely be scrutinized for the ages.
Ever heard of Mary Bell? She wasn't even a teen yet she killed two toddlers. I know what you're thinking : Alice, they were toddlers, she was stronger than them. That's true, but toddlers are wild things. They could tire someone out easily with how much and how fast they run. Consider that. Same goes for Jon Venables and Robert Thompson. They killed a kid and they were 10. Also, they were human. OCs could be non-human and have different abilities that could make it easier to kill.
The only time I would recommend changing an OC's age is if it's extremely young to the point where it's ridiculous, say, a six-year-old serial killer. Same goes for species. Unless your OC is a vampire-demon-angel-werewolf, I wouldn't recommend changing it.
Bottom line is : don't judge an OC based on species/age (unless it is utterly ridiculous).
