User blog:Munchydragon/Creating Original Characters. A step by step process with Munchydragon

Hello everyone Munchy here with a blog for you all. So MGE-fanon is a site designed for storing original content for fan-fiction and rp of MGE yet there is no page that says how to make a O.C. Yes a blog was done earlier that describes how to make a O.C page but not a O.C it'self. Well no more. In this blog I will break down the step by step process for creating your very O.C.

Disclaimer: This is my personal method for makeing O.C's, but there is no real right or wrong way to go about. Take from my list what you will.

(This Blog will be published incomplete and slowly updated until it's finished. I apologize but my computer is a *@#$  and sadly not the mamono kind)

Step 1 Getting Inspiration
The first step to makeing a original character is get a inspiration for it. While it is possible for it to happen randomly just hopeing for a idea to show up is not a very reliable policy. To get inspiration you know need to go out and seak it. There are multiple ways of seeking it out. The simplest method is to take something your interested in and research it a bit. Then pick one or two elements of the thing you enjoy and write it out on a piece of paper(or word document slash similar device but paper is best). Example: I like Greek Mythology and the element I am takeing is the god's each have a variety domains or things to be a god of. Going Further I choose the god Apollo and pick three of his domains, The Sun Medicine and one of his Patron animals the Wolf. You can do this with any number of interests. The interests don't have to be related in least either. I like Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the element that interests me is that Sunlight seals a monster in it's current form. My paper currently reads Sun, medicine, wolf, sun causing a mode lock. At this point I think I have enough to move on to the next step, when you do so is your choice.

Step 2 Developing Elements
At this stage you take the words you wrote down and see where they lead you. I reccomend turning off all distracting devices at this point. Just write what ever comes to mind at this words you wrote down. On my paper I write trinity for the 3 elements, the power of three. The two ideas are connected by sun. Heat, Warmth, Fire, Moon, Lunacy, Dichotomy, Lycanthropy, Mental Illness, Connection of mind and body Chi, etc I could probably fill the page. Just keep writeing untill nothing else comes to mind.
