do you have original characters... do they exist in a fantasy setting, a sci fi setting, a historical fiction setting, an alternate universe of an existing piece of media, etc? do they have backstories, personalities, relationships? or are they more models? do they have a physical appearance, or is their presence more written than visual? what are your favorite parts of writing or designing OCs?
as for me, i have an OC universe kinda. it's more of historical fiction that takes place during COVID in an imaginary school in my city. the 'protag' of my story goes through something very similar to what i went through in 8th grade, and originally the character was a bit of a self insert character. but the more i write about her, the more she becomes a separate person with her own story and personality and stuff. so lesson 1 i've learned from making OCs: don't be afraid to start out with a self insert, because they will diverge from being you as you grow and as they grow. (feel free to share advice or lessons you've learned from writing, drawing, or otherwise creating characters too).
i'm actually working on remaking my OCs in the sims as i write this bc i lost the save that i had them on previously. so i'll update how that goes. anyways tell me about your OCs
also i wasn't sure if i should put this here or off topic writing, but i figured since it's more of a discussion than a story it would probably belong here.

I don't consider pretty much any of my characters "OCs" maybe a few that I made only for rp purposes, but the rest...
like they're characters to use in a plot for a story. I don't feel like, a special connection to them or anything. I can like them and have favorites but I'm never going to commission art for them or think about their lives outside of the story plot or anything.

i have a kajillion OC's, mostly in the context of my various written worlds. most of them are in fantasy or scifi settings, and i rarely have OCs outside of a story, so usually their backstories/relationships are tailored to the stories they're in. but i do usually have an idea of their personality before i figure out how they fit into a plot bc their personality and choices is usually what's driving the plot. i also generally have an idea of physical appearances but i rarely get too specific with it unless the way they look has some kind of relevance to the plot.

I have eight original characters for my story and they are my babies <3
The setting is a low-fantasy alternate world inspired by Eastern Europe on the brink of industrial revolution, with some fantastical elements such as fictional animals and foods. I'd say I have a fairly good idea of some of them as a physical conception, but others exist more intangibly in my head. The characters are definitely the most developed part of my writing process, so yeah, they each have complex personalities and backstories.

Iβve lost count of all my ocs. Most come from various fandoms. A few are tied into other online friendsβ stories. And a few others are just characters I like to draw. Many have back stories, personality traits, and loved ones; the ones I created for rps are more developed whether they were used or not in one. I donβt have an oc universe of my own other than βgeneric forest et alβ for some of my animal characters. I like all of them though, no matter how developed they are.

If youβre curious about them you can look up βThe Nighthawksβ by Jennah Maria (pen name), and the books (both the serial fiction series and the book) should show up!

Yes, I have OCs. And Iβm very attached to them, haha. When I am not writing, they are most definitely living their best lives without me xD

I have plenty that I think about most of the time. It helps that their world is so similar to ours.
