This is about how to improve your OC so that it's not too Mary Sue/Gary Stu. It also looks into tropes and cliches, overall helping with storytelling. OC reviews are also welcome for those that want their OCs to be checked. (OC REVIEWS ARE CLOSED)

Note: Some chapters are very outdated!! I only just started updating some parts of them but I'll try to edit when I can.
