One Week to the Collaborative OC Building Event

Posted by Kim on July 27, 2024, 9:00am

I know a lot of you look forward to this event, so mark your calendars! Between August 3rd and August 18th, we're going to help each other create original characters (OCs). If you need to break out of a RP rut and try out the brain space of a totally new sort of character, this is going to be the perfect event for you.

If you want to prepare ahead of time, start brainstorming 1-3 basic facts you want to be true about your future character.

Example 1:
Quote:
I want ideas for a character that...
  • Is male
  • Has horns
  • Is an assassin

Example 2:
Quote:
Please help me create a character like this:
  • Fantasy genre
  • Has lived lots of past lives

Example 3:
Quote:
I want to make a character that has lots of scars.

Remember, for this event you can require NO MORE THAN THREE but AT LEAST ONE traits about the character to give people a jumping off point.

Instructions for what to do with your basic character outline will be posted on the 3rd, when the event kicks off. :D

The top says "From the 3rd to the 18th"

but then further down it says, "When the event kicks off on the 5th."

Is that a mistype or am I misunderstanding?

Can you have rules of what you wouldn't want for a character?

Because, if I ever made a forum thingy for this, I'd want a victorian character most likely, and I really wouldn't want to fall into common victorian tropes such as Vampires or Ghosts.
