Making A Good OC

Most people have OCs— characters that they keep in mind or use in a particular story. 

An OC is the main character of your story arc, the heart and cells of your book. You have ten tribes to choose from, Mudwings, Sandwings, Skywings, Seawings, Rainwings, Icewings, Nightwings, Hivewings, Silkwings, Leafwings, and/or a fantribe if you try to risk the difficulty.

During your brainstorm, you should always stop and ask yourself: What is my characters personality? Where do they live? And what is special about them?

Alright, moving on.

What about their name? Find a fun, interesting name. You could restate a canon dragon (Pearl, Lagoon, Whirlpool...), or research a name for the dragon's habitat. Tui has a website with fitting names, and she works there every time there is a new character in need. You can do the same with name generators on Wattpad.

Once you figured that out, make sure your sweet peep is not overpowered. Some writers pick to use hybrids or tribrids, a mix of bloodline.

For example, a NightWing/RainWing OC that has mind reading, prophecy powers, venom, camouflage, and animus powers. You probably think that's fine, and that heroes often have multiple powers, but no, it sometimes make the reader loose interest immediately and leave your post. So don't make overpowered hybrids/tribrids.

Instead go for something much more simple instead. A Sandwing/Seawing OC that has a weak barbed tail, and a strange love for the ocean. That makes your protoganist less overpowered and seem like an average OC.
