These are just a few things that bug me about OCs. Now this is all y opinion so you might or might not agree. Please try not to take any offense if my veiws contradict yours.
TOP TEN THINGS NOT TO PUT INTO AN OC.
Mary Sues: Everyone hates a Mary Sue. Someone who's good at everything they do no matter how inexperienced they are. For Example a ninja who has mastery in every element, has perfect aim, never loses, excetra. We don't want to see it, it's annoying.
OCXCannon Character relationships: Ok now this should speak for it's self, though they aren't always bad.It depends on how you set up the relationship. Let's say a character emediately falls in love with your character for no particular reason….definetely no. It's different if you add backround, or relation development. And what's even worse is when EVERYONE is in love with your OC. Come on that's just annoying.
Hyuga/Uchiha hybrids: This particular feature has long been a pet peeve of mine when it comes to OCs. Seriously, you can't find a more original kind of character. I see Hyuga/Uchiha hybrids ALL the time and it annoys me to no end. I am sick of seeing White sharingan bearing prodogies. That goat has been milked dry of ideas. It might be a different story if you made a hybrid that was a dud and had neither kekkei genkai, but I have yet to see that.
Modern world OCs: This kind of OC I've never favored. When you put yourself into the Naruto Universe. It really depends on how you play out the situation. Sometimes people have good ideas for this kind of story. And reffering to what I said in numbet two, I don't think anyone likes to see EVERY Naruto character fall in love with you/your OC.
Original Jutsu: Creating new jutsu can be fun and interesting, if you put some good thought into it. If not you'll end up with something from a Salor Moon episode.
Names: An OCs name is the creator's choice, but please be reasonable. I for one do not ant to see a Suzy Uzumaki, Kate Uchiha, Kassy Hyuga, and so on. Please concider the universe that Naruto and the other shinobi live in. And if you don't know any Japanese names, there are plenty of sites on the internet that can help you out.
OC'spasts: NO Sasuke clones. I know I shouldn't have to say more, but I guess it would be wise ti eaborate. Let's not give EVERY OC that we make, lots of angst and sobb stories like 'My whole family was murdered in front of me', for the love of god at least not by their siblinds, or other family members that they now seek revenge on.
And another thing, NO Naruto clones. There can only be so many despised village outcasts. But if you should make your character this way, give a good reason at least.
Death Defying: please don't make your character un-killable (don't think that's a word but oh well) unless they for some reason or immortal, which may also be frowned upon if not given a good reason. It's kind of annoying when an atomic bomb can be dropped on yur character and the damage would be described as 'he/she didn't even flinch'.
Plot holes: Please give a goo reason for your character to even be in the series. It makes for a weak introduction when your character just randomly appears in the series. Or if the set up is that they've already been a part of it, give us some background please!
