Alright guys this isn't the first official chapter sorry to say but with the OC's I've been getting its kinda hard to pick from all of the submissions.

For one, for all of the quite numerous submissions I've gotten I really can only say one thing... guys, guys for fucking DAYS! I only got at most two females out of all of the submissions and I find that a little disheartening cause I was hoping for a more balanced guy to girl ratio.

Second is that too many of you want Xenovia! I mean for the love of everything ninety nine percent of the submissions had Xenovia listed as their romance partner with only two or three adding in a back-up just in case. While I understand that Xonovia is a really great character there are how many single women in the DXD world and you all go after that one!? The romantic interest doesn't have to be a member of Rias peerage or even a member of the Devil faction just make it someone believable. That means no Ophis, Gabriel, Serafall or anyone like that okay? Hell choose a girl from the enemies side for all I fucking care! Remember this is an SYOC and while it will follow the cannon at some points but will be mostly AU with most of the story focus being on Kuru and his peerage dealing with their own problems.

Thirdly is that your guy's choice of weapons is pretty bland to be honest. I understand a sword is a badass weapon in many forms but the most original weapon I have seen in the submissions is a damn harp which I give the man props for thinking of that one as that is the most original weapon choice I have seen to date. So I want a bit more originality in the weapons department and even a little in the fighting style area if you would please as there can only be so many people with great strength.

I know for some of you it may seem like I'm being a nitpicky little bastard but if I honestly do like quite a few of the OC's I've gotten but it's just these things that are bugging me to no end as they pop up in many OC's hence why I'm making this little chapter instead of sending it out through PM individually just to save time. I believe a good SYOC story begins with great OC's and I want the best OC's I can get from you guys. So if you can just take what I've said here to heart and look over your applications once more, and maybe send in some new ones then I would be really thankful. Just PM me if you want me to elaborate more please and don't be a bunch of asshole's about it if I managed to offend you as that was never my intention.

Pm when you can please and hope to hear from you guys soon!
