Character Template with notes; Simple yet complex.

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.

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?

A character with the speed of Sonic would be useless. 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. XD

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.

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. XD

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?

You are most like BROM

You are indeed wise and experienced! You may encounter foes along your path and you are definitely brave enough to face them. However, you are wise enough to know when you can avoid a fight and save your energy. Your keen ability to think on your feet, resourcefulness, and ability to make allies are skills invaluable in any conflict.
