I look forward to seeing what you come up with. It's not that we are anti-OC around here, it's just that the majority of the OC's that we come across are almost always clones of existing ones.

Here is a quick reference guide to help you know if your OC is going to get your story deleted:

-If he wears a hoodie, chances are, he's a bad OC.

-Bleeding eyes, that's a bad OC.

-Goes crazy and kills parents, bad OC.

-Uses any sort of catch phrase, probably a real bad OC.

Remember, being original is the way to go. So if your character is inspired by something like Jeff the Killer, Slenderman or Ben Drowned, you're probably barking up the wrong tree.

With that in mind, I do indeed look forward to what you develop. Let's just all hope his middle name won't be "the."

Good luck!
