Well..I decided to upload the information about my OC's that I'm going to use (not teachers then) in my fictions (Never Alone, One-way Ticket, Give Me Your Smile).
There're going to be three pictures with basic information about each character, so it's just to click on the icon of the OC that you want to read about and see. Oh yeah..they're 16 here and not 18..i also use this for One-way Ticket where they're 18.
I have created them all by myself and borrowed some aspects from my friend (like the obsession over big noses and SuJu..) and also some aspects from me.
They're also drawn by me on the computer with Photoshop CS3.
The only thing I don't own in these images are the brushes - they belong to
coby17 @ deviantART.com
Rhea (or born as Theresa) is based on me. She has the same personality as me and also the same brain capacity and humour. Her hairstyle/clothingstyle is also based on me, and also interest. This is how I would be if I was I fictional character and NOT how I WANT to be. Read that I say "would" and not "want".
The only thing I have changed about me is that I don't come from Scotland...I come from Vietnam.
Rhea's mother is from Scotland and therefore her surname (which probably isn't a real Scottish name). Her mother knew Nicole's father back in school and could by them meet Nicole.
Since Rhea is a weird person, she thought that changing her name "Theresa" into "Therhesa" she could be called "Rhea"..and it just was easier to write "Rhea" instead of difficult names so she kept her nickname but kept "Therhesa" as her birthname instead of "Theresa".
Nicole is based on my dear friend that I share my HSJ love with, even though she's more of a K-Pop fan. Their personalities are basically the same, though the real one is a lot lazier and she's more obsessed with SuJu then and more negative also..Don't think that these ones are bad aspects, they're really funny sometimes! xD
Another thing is also, my friend doesn't come from England/America..
The reason why Nicole has a non-Swedish surname is because that her father (who knew Rhea's mother back in school) is also born in a country outside Sweden but moved to Sweden when school ended and the rest is history.The best thing with this character and my friend is that she always has something good to counter with and is obsessed/addicted to big noses (that's one of the main reasons I use my OC's for..easy talk and funny moments xD ). It's no wonder why she likes Yuto and Hikaru then...
Andreas is not based on any friend of mine, probably more based on my very hyper and talkative side. I wanted someone that had a kind of counter personality to Rhea and Nicole, who both are tomboyish and the only girly side is their fangirl-ing side.
Andreas is the one who's talking about the newest news about local things, like parties and relationships, he's also the one who has the best clothing sense. He almost spends hours to choose what to wear. Now he sounds girly right? He's not, think it in a way that he only has the eye for fashion and does know for sure what's girly and what's not.
His bright and cheery self always brings happiness to the parties and those around him. He's not the bad boy who all respects in fear. He's the regular boy with good fashion sense that everyone has accepted for the one he is. Of course every girl (almost) chase after him in school.
Okay, enough of that. If you have any problems with me writing with OC's please spare me the comments about you dislike of OC's. It's not that I hate you for that, but I think that if you're writing an AU story, OC's will be needed and they're nice to read about if the author have thought of its characters (am not only talking for my own sake..I have seen much rude comments about HSJxOC's and how much that they despise them).
Here's a list why I use OC's in my fanfiction "Never Alone":
- They're good to have as support characters. Changing a ordinary characters origin is lame (like making Ryutaro Swedish.. Dx )
- If you're writing randomly and not thinking about the flow in the story, it ends up with no connections. Every action should lead to another.
- Three teenage boys from a foreign country would certainly NOT survive without meeting someone in their own age that accepts them and helps them.
- New relationships that stand out from the rest tend to be more special and also lead to other revealations.
- Using flaws and daily activities that makes your character "normal" but also outstanding and not "almighty", is fun, since it becomes so much closer to your heart and easier to write.
I might find more reasons, but for now, it's enough. Some of the points are not directed to only my story but also over all, so I beg you out there, that not every fandomxOC fanfiction is bad, because the author seem to write out their dreams and hopes only and not thinking on the latter problem.
You shouldn't also, as an author, randomly make OC's just to fill out the story, or have something to pick on. Think about the OC's before using them. Give them more than a name, birthday and appearance.
I give mine a lot of love and also using them for other work, they're not only something that you use once in a lifetime (maybe those characters that only have a random role, but not those that are main reasons for the story).
Please tell me if
