The reason why canon characters shouldn't interact with main characters is for several reasons: - Most fancharacters' appearance, abilities or backstories are out of sync with the "average" for the Sonic universe. - Way too many characters having met the main ones are a bit of a problem. 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.
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? |

Yes, it is very pointless if a character interacts with the main characters. 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. |

o, it's pointless not to interact it the official characrters! If your character is in an RP with an official, chances are they're gonna interact, they cant b part of ur bio tho, unless like Eggman created you or sumthing |

I gotta make a thread about the arguments of fan characters, really I will. No fan character will beat the original characters. |

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." |

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? |

Are you aware that the "i" in marital goes before the t, not after? |

ok to make it simple fo rcharacter design just put things that are important to the story like if its a war rp then name nickname weapon power bio reason for joining teh war is pretty much all you need. remember make the questions make sense to the story line |
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 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.
