^ PREACH

lol, hi, my name is biased, nice to meet you

But, bringing up a cliche that I'm not sure has been brought up before... (It might have, but I don't pay that much attention. ^^")

I get bothered when a character has one personality trait and that's literally all there is to the character. No additions to flesh out the trait, no opposing or even complementary trait, just the one trait rewritten a few times to make up a paragraph.

I'm not calling anyone out for this because this wiki is pretty dynamic character-wise and if you feel I'm specifically speaking to one of you, I'm really not. (I haven't read a lot of OC pages on here, to be fair.) It's just something I've seen before that bothers me.

Also, Regan brought this one up randomly one night and I thought I'd share it before I forgot.

Haven't you guys noticed that dragon OCs are typically portrayed as submissive and shy a lot? I mean, what's wrong with a loud and proud, "hell yeah, I'm a dragon" type of character? (I've ended up using this suggestion for my own dragon because it's too cool to not expand on it, but still.) Or even a more nuanced character?

Once again, not calling anyone out (the dragons on this site are actually not that plentiful), but just yet another cliché that was mentioned to me.
