NOTE! FIRST CHAPTER IS UP! GO ONTO MY PROFILE TO CHECK IT OUT! I STILL NEED MANY MORE OCS!
So I am going to write a story for Maximum Ride, but since I'm lazy, I'm in the market for some OCs.
So I'm recruiting the noble people of Fanfiction to help me!
I know that you've probably seen the OC sheet a million times before, so I'll only list the things I need.
NOTE - Please review! I'm starting to make the story plot and I need the characters! You have a much higher chance of getting in now than later!
One, I need detailed DNA. My story is going to be a bit more science oriented, so I can accept a "There like 5% snake." WHAT SNAKE? Boa constrictor or venomous? Big or small? Colors? Temperament? Type? Please, people!
Percentage. Some people are going around and saying that while their character has 15% Snow Leopard, but they only have yellow eyes. I don't care if you make you OC have 59.76% cat DNA and only 1% still human but make the DNA appearance match. It has to be realistic. Actually, the more DNA, the better. I like characters like that.
Appearance. Please, don't just give you OC just the 'cute' parts of the animals. Give them the scales, the fur, the slimy skin, not just a fuzzy pair of ears on their head. I remember one of my favourite stories had a girl with feathers running up and down her arms. That's a lot better than just slapping a pair of wings of them. And make sure to check your facts; don't think that your animal has something that it really doesn't.
DNA. I'm perfectly okay with multiple animals inside of one human. Snow Leopard, Black Widow, Golden Moray Eel all together? Go right ahead! But when people add something like 'dragon' or 'phoenix', I don't think I could accept the OC. My story is based in the real world, not a fantasy. Also, trying giving your OC prey DNA. This is much less common in fics, and I'm curious to try writing about it.
Lastly, powers. While some of you might want to turn into Angel and give your OC talking to animals and controlling the weather and going invisible and teleporting and Lord knows what, that's fine. But keep it real. Don't give your OC powers that could never be produced by science. Just try to make it realistic, and maybe add a little backstory on how they got the power. And don't make them op; just, please.
That's it! Just some little things to avoid making a Mary Sue. Shouldn't be too hard! I will completely give credit at the start of the story when I use your character! You can submit as much as you want, but just please specify which side they're on, please.
Here are some animals to help you if you're stuck or want to add something.
Harpy Eagle
Electric Eel
Green Anaconda
Cougar
Parrot Fish
Ruby Throated Hummingbird
American Alligator
Chimpanzee
Sea Turtle
Arctic Fox
Remember, your OC does not have to have wings! BE YOUR OWN MUTANT! Go underwater! Go on land! Go to both! You don't have to have wings to be beautiful!
You can add any little notes about what you want your OC to do, like a little scene that you might want me to add to the story. I might not if it hurts the plot, but 9/10 times I will add the scene.
NOTE - Please note that I need lots and lots and lots of characters! Please review!
