In fact here's something from the old wiki: Quote: To make a fancharacter, you open up Microsoft Paint, get some shitty Sonic Advance sprites & make them worse by adding eyesore colours to it. Here's an example called purpl3 teh hedgehawg: Some fanchars usually have some sort of story, so: "Purple is Sonic's boyfriend, it's obvious what he's looking at isn't child-friendly." Although the majority of forum members love fancharacters to bits that they sleep with them, some members don't, you must salute the fanchar haters. Other fancharacters include: Skippy the Kangaroo Hedgehog the Hedgehog Se the Goat Your Mother Mr.Gay and See

Just simply giving a character different colors on their body and giving them a different name does NOT count as a fan-character. That is just too damn lazy. I mean come on, is it really that hard to add extra features, like a badass jacket, some battle scars, make the shoes different, or at least add a simple mole below the eye?
	I have an interest in spriting. If anyone has a request, don't hesitate to ask. Deep stuff below: Spoiler: click to toggle The world. Filled with millions of differences. But despite the fact, we all are brothers and sisters, Inhabiting and living under the same sky. But despite this, we war and kill our siblings over trivial things, Staining the earth on which we all walk, With the blood of our brothers, With the blood of our sisters. The sky under which we go through our lives weeps, For the clouds surely know of the atrocities we commit. We slay, maim, gouge, and destroy our siblings, In the name of things which ought not be fought for. Approach a member of the family not, With the tainted lash of hatred, But with the pure flower of love. ======================================= The sword. A weapon who's blade is stained red With the blood of its countless victims. Were it alive, what would such a being feel? Would it live only to fight, And fight only to live? Would it be controlled By those with the skill to do so? I believe that it would cry For each person it has ever brought harm to, Its tears as red as the blood it has spilled.

In roleplays, for example, you might want to do something Sonic-styled, so why make your character a human when it can be an anthropomorphic animal? Of course, some people as unoriginal as to recolor characters. In some cases, they claim that they simply don't know how to make their own characters, but when you have the right words, you don't need pictures; just describe them verbally. Making love interests or children for canons is rather unoriginal. I remembered seeing this when I was fairly new to forums so I decided to do the same and invent 'children' for canon characters and even my first fanfic here was like that. But as I stayed here and read others works and such, I realized how unnecessary and lame it was so I scrapped all those fancharacters, not that I ever used them for anything outside that fanfic, and should there have been actual canon children to certain pairings, I would've gladly used them. I guess I was just trying to make up characters for the ones I wanted for my story but that didn't existed. XP Still doesn't make the situation all that better, though. As I started RPing, I decided to do my own original characters and while trying, I liked it. It was like adding a personal touch to the stories, or trying to do something Sonic-oriented without having to rely on characters that belonged and were copyrighted to SEGA. This also prevents the canon character's personas from being altered by the fandom because the fans have their own characters to give any kind of personality they want to. What I don't get is people who make fancharacters because they think it betters the canon ones or because they think their fancharacters could actually be on SEGA. Fancharacters are just so you don't mess up canon character's entities on roleplays and fanfictions and/or make up characters that fit in those worlds and universes while allowing one to show their imagination. But no matter how good or bad a fancharacter is, none of them should ever be in games, comics or shows. They're just for fun and creativity; nothing more, nothing else.
