The problem with OC is heavily in the image. People make a character, make them either really cliche or really strange, and feel the need to push them. This is usually done by constructing a story based solely around that character- something that almost always ends up terrible.

Don't make a character, and then a story around them. Make a story, and then have a believable character that fits within that story. Otherwise, you'll usually fall bellow our quality standards every time.
