New announcement::: OUR PMS ARE OPEN FOR ADVISE, RULES DO APPLY.
1) Be patient, it may take us a while to respond. (In all honesty the most you'll wait is like...a day bc I practically never get on my phone) 2) Be nice, always. 3) We can decline help to some people if they break rules or do something of lesser intelligence. (This has never happened and I'm sure it won't)

Contrary to popular belief, and popular characters and books, your original character (OC) does not need to be a sassy, rhetorical, pessimistic yet bright eyed character. They don't need to be nerdy, and they don't have to be Liz Allen's best friend.
Disregarding the generic popularity things, personality traits also tend to be generic.
We pour our love and habit of sarcasm and we go to pettiness as a default, but a character can't be a default setting. When picking your character and how they act, what crew they're in, what their grades are, and heck, how they meet Peter, don't be so defined to what you've read. It's your original character, so make them original.
Here are some qualities not used often:
- overly kind -optimistic -selfish -selfless -calculating -blunt - dishonest -thoughtful (not to be mistaken with an over-thinker) -skittish -religious -easy going -aimless -tolerant -intolerant -fearful -respectful -outgoing/loquacious -passive
Here are some habits not used often:
- Bites tongue - runs away from fights - lies - thinks but doesn't say -thinks before they speak - freezes in times of fear -extensive spending -eating with mouth open -cracking knuckles -tugging ear -biting inside of cheek -rolling wrists/ankles -shaking wrists/ankles -hair chewing -nail bitting/picking -paper ripping -troubled speech -rambles -laughs when lying -cusses(not every sentence ends w the f word tho)
Here's something different
- perfect amount of sweet/sassy - teachers pet - basic grades (low A's- high C's) - good at random subjects(history or some non-core classes) - artsy - athletic (soccer player, softball pitcher, etc) - wear makeup - dress nice - a flip phone - lots of friends - unorganized - bites nails -eyebrow gap -chapped lips -chipped nail polish -scratches knee - braids, twists, messes w/hair - diseases or syndromes (ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, Dyslexia)
Friendly reminder; your character is not you, but they are yours. Show them love, make them different, make them have their flaws but there beauties too. Don't make a character because you think they have to be the way they are. Don't base them off of some unoriginal, basic character or person. Once again, they are your original character.
