User blog comment:DatAsymptote/What to do when you're genuinely unhappy with the concept of a character, but you don't want to change her?/@comment-26470201-20180222075815

I can actually kinda relate. When I first came here late 2015, I more or less attempted to integrate 'social justice' elements into my first batch of OCs, kinda wanting them to stand out. Then, I looked deeper into the wiki, and there are...more comprehensive, more developped OCs including some of yours. For me however, creating eye-catching OCs was to get more popular I guess, trying to get a comment on one of my pages. Not to mention, I had (have?) this minor obsession that mine should be good enough to be a part of the official EAH (obviously that changed a lot recently, in more ways than one, :P) Nevertheless, there are some OCs I wish to develop more as characters -  not just some character I could experiment with.

Nowadays, I guess I'm fine now with the roster, actually participating with the Wiki more with RPs and the sub-Amino. Actually I'm sorry for going a bit off-track.

Anyways, a good way for me to start is picturing their backstory, and then integrating that past into their current life or something.
