If there is a picture, it’s most likely one of an existing anime or Zelda character, or perhaps even a doll maker. Underdeveloped OCs might not have a complete profile or a picture.
LEGEND OF ZELDA OC MAKER MOD
They’re so focused on the Mary Sues or the sparkly/rainbow-haired/kawaii-desu-ne/perfect god mod that the forgettable characters fly under the radar. I put this first because this is a factor that people on Amino tend to disregard. However, for the sake of this guide, I’ll be using terms within the universe to exemplify these factors better. There are many factors that can potentially contribute to this, and many of them apply to fandoms in general, rather than just the Zelda community. ~.*.~ What can make an OC unappealing or cliché? ~.*.~ That said, there are still many ways that a character, regardless of whether they’re intended for RP for a fanfic, can be unappealing to the community at large. Canon characters might not be as prominent in an RP, so there’s also room for OCs to assume these more dynamic roles. Roleplay characters can be more flexible than story-driven characters, as the latter might have to fit into a specific game while the former isn’t as susceptible to such a limitation. While I personally find there aren’t many differences between the two, I think there are still a couple things to address. Whenever I take a litmus test, there are always separate categories depending on whether your character is meant to be in a fanfiction or a roleplay. In this case, our OCs are designed to be placed comfortably within the Zelda universe.
A fan character-or an original character, as many have come to put it-is a character designed to fit within a particular fictional world or universe. Before we do anything else, I feel this is something that must be addressed.
