Made me realize just how unique OCs are to the users. It's like reading over differing writing styles and what makes it your own. Some users favor writing the more "realistic" characters, invovling them in day to day school life, the problems they have with their family and sometimes letting their hobbies define them as well as interpersonal relationships.

Others like to delve int the more fantasy aspect. Nothing wrong with that. Listing their own personal powers and abilities, the magic they can use etc. Which I find to be very cool, fun and interesting.

Some delve into the mythology aspect of their OC and the folklore surrounding their species and fairy tale backgrounds.

There are some of those who like implementing historical and cultural knowledge which I think is very fantastic and to me, I love those types of OCs. I love learning something new when I read over someone's character page (Sola shoutout).

There are those who like to stay as close to canon as the can possibly help it, others who create their own canon.

Then there are the aesthetics that build the OCs personalities and clothing choices and moral standings Some of us lvoe OCs who have degraded morals and straddle the line or go into complete darkness, born in it or pushed into it. Then there are those who favor the ones who are good hearted and kind to everyone.

Just made me realize that, I truly do love reading the pages of other peoples characters. Because you not only get a feel for what their general aesthetic is for a character but their writing style as well and it really does amuse me how profound the differences are and yet if you read hard enough in between the lines you can sort of get a feel, a sense of what that writer is liek in real life. OCs can be such personal vessels. And it's fun to explore them.
