What makes a poor OC? Post your thoughts here!

I honestly prefer Vinyl as Raiden.

Because nobody would use the standard races. And we don't know as much about other races compared to the normal ponies.

Earth ponies would still reign supreme in my book.

XD I laugh with you only because earth ponies seriously need more love... and that's coming from a Pegasus

Well, Earth Ponies are special too. After all, they grow our food like the Apple Family. Sure, they don't have abilities like unicorns, Pegasus, or alicorns and have to hold things by their mouths a lot (Yuck, but understanding) but all ponies are special. Just like humans in our world.

Raiden is annoying.  He works for uhh.. whoever he works for to get money for his family. But he also gets a super expensive cutting-edge suit of armor and katana. Go figure...
Also, worst pony EVER

Her cutiemark is the symbol of a band. A real world band. That she's not a part of.
She's a vampony.
Her father is a character from a videogame.
She's an element of harmony? Come on!
Also a time traveler.

Please, if you are making an OC, do NOT make one like this.

That OC doesn't even make any sense at all! An OC should have similar characteristics and personality as yourself. It's basically as if you were randomly just taken to Equestria and transformed into a cute pony.

You don't know what an OC means...do you?

Yes, it means Original Character. Oh, I see what your saying now.   Your saying that OC's are actually supposed to be different in ways, but similar to you in terms of personality and such. I get it now. Like your talents might be different as a pony then human. Kind of misunderstood that on my part.

O.C. isn't bound by anything except your imagination (and the boundaries of the world you're creating him/her in). It doesn't need/have to be similar to you in any shape or form.
Sonas on the other hand (ponysona, fursone, persona etc.) are representation of you in a world. Them being 1:1 with your personality, likes/dislikes and etc.

I feel a sense of Twilight with this one... and I'm not talking about an alicorn.

I see what your saying. My OC is a alicorn that does things I could never do. Like everything about MLP, it's all about imagination and what you make it to be. My OC however does have my personality. I hope that answers your response.

What Twilight are you talking about then? A Twilight that's not part of MLP.

I believe Cloudwilk is referring to the infamous vampire romance saga, Twilight. Trust me when I say that you probably don't want to know anything more than that about the book series.
After reading part of that mess of a backstory, I definitely see the Twilight-like qualities!

Oh, the book series! What was I thinking about? I get so confused when talking about Twilight on this forum I'd think it meant the alicorn. Now I know. The qualities would fit it alright!

[cloudwilk]

My faith in humanity has been restored with the lack of understanding in the Twilight saga. I, personally, can't say much about it since I've never read it or watched the movies... but I've learned a lot about a bad fanbase when I see one. I was getting a similar vibe with the Jersey Shore and Justin Bieber crew. Both those shows and music of which I have not viewed or listened to, and frankly, I feel no loss.

It just makes me feel self-conscious about jumping the bandwagon when I personally haven't experience it for myself... So I feel the need to point my err out.

That's how I feel. I never bothered with Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber, or Twilight Saga. The only Twilight I like is that nice looking purple alicorn that lives in that new Friendship Castle in Ponyville. I have a crush on her and Fluttershy, BTW. SO CUTE!!!

No tears now. Only Collective Consciousness.

Guys, can we try to keep large images in spoilers?

I'll try to. Thanks! I know now not to because it'll slow down the thread. BTW, cute profile pic of Snowdrop. If that's her name.
