Rules you should probably follow when creating a character journal.
[/ul]
Those are my 3 main rules, but if you need more advice and/or help, takes a look at this thread for guides.
[/ul]
- Do NOT make your OC over-powered. A proxy isn't going to be stronger than the person they're representing. Don't make them mind-reading, flying, shape-shifting, super-duper intelligent ninjas. Seriously? You'd have to earn those titles.... >.> A few powers/abilities are alright, but should tie into the OC's personality and history, just don't go ballistic.
- Do NOT steal other OC's, ideas, or OC artworks. Not cool, man. Even if the OC isn't popular, go make your own damned art, or ask a friend to help you out if you aren't so skilled in the art area. There are also no face-claims for this site, not being allowed, but also because they aren't accurate to your OC. Be creative. If you absolutely need art then PM Butler, and she'll attempt to help you out. No guarantees there.
- Try not to Mary-sue/Gary-sue up the place. Don't go for a typical "abused, bullied, raped, and broken up with so I'm insane" kind of thing. Any of those alone or tied with something else is alright, but I'm pretty sure that combination is already taken, and that you can think of something far more unique.
