The Sonic cast is big enough now, but with the fancharacters? It'd be the Sonicverse equivalent of everybody becoming friends with the queen of England. It'd be all right if this was occasional, but it's just ridiculous. Quote: But what if you want it to be a character that appears in the storyline? I mean, honestly, it's kind of silly to make a fancharacter that can't communicate or have anything to do with the main characters of the series. I love the art style, and then canon elements such as locations are good. Also, it sets an excellent "standard" for abilities and powers. Hey, Heaven Demolisher, have you given credit to Concept Mobius for this one? Does anybody still have a link to the old fancharacter template?

Sonic already has fast rival hedgehogs. He doesn't need anymore. OCs should fill in other places, and have different skills than the official characters. Then my character is officialy useless.

I mean, to be honest, the real characters aren't gonna really know your characters. It is only my opinion though. I was a fan of having my fancharacters be friends with the main characters when I first started out, but now I understand that it really is pointless.

I laugh. While I certainly agree that fancharacters aren't exactly the most... winning of characters out there (I use winning as the positive form of "beat"), I still maintain that the OCs are vastly overestimated. IMHO, there are characters in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood that "beat" dear old "Sonic and pals."

IMHO, there are characters in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood that "beat" dear old "Sonic and pals." True, (Mister Rogers did after all, win the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny) there are exceptions to every rule. But truth is, it's been done so many times (and by so many horrible authors) that it's rather boring. I'm sure that there's someone out there that's good enough to pull it off in a readable way. On a note unrelated to the quote, I was wondering about proper character height/weight. I was looking back on some things from my horrid little childhood, and saw that when I was 11, I was just under 5' and 60-something pounds. I'll admit I was a twig back then, but Sonic characters are kind of noodly too. Is 70 pounds really an accurate weight for someone who's three feet tall?

	if winners have nothing to win and everything to lose and losers have nothing to lose and everything to win, then who can really win?

This template is darn good, but it's missing that extra edge. That extra edge would kinda be the whole 'stats' thing, something I've seen horribly overdone in most templates. Yes it's a good way of measuring up by just using numbers, but wouldn't it be better just to use brief explanations of each corresponding skill statistic? Example in spoiler tags: Spoiler: click to toggle Strength: Above Average. His jabs and strikes are strong, capable of snapping thick wood and breaking bare rock. He can lift about a hundred pounds but nothing heavier. Intelligence: Blitz isn't an idiot. His intelligence is above average, but not so much that it's obvious. The best way to put it is that he's street smart but not so much book smart - sure, if you talk to him about Fundamental Laws of Dynamics he'll probably understand, but you'll lose him at academic-level literature, because he doesn't spend his time reading that kind of stuff. There had been a time in which Blitz had studied at the high school level, but that was a while ago and he remembers little of what matters the least to him. Generally speaking, explanations are better than numbers, because there are situations in which your characters can be strong/intelligent but not so strong/intelligent in others. Yes, there is a section for weaknesses, but for the general sake of convenience, stuff related to character skills should be elaborated to a fine point, not a small bit and then some more when you get to weaknesses - that's just bad organization. ..Just my two cents. o-o Edited by Hoffman, Dec 28 2008, 12:44 PM.
