There is a time in everyone's life where they just want to punch whoever they have a crush on. ANd maybe stab them. ...And set them on fire... And bury them 6 feet under ground...

Bailey? 0.0

Hm?

What is wrong with you?

Some guy I liked got a girlfriend. I want to murder him and the girl. Nothing new.

Times like these I wonder why we are friends.

Because we were both weird, and noone else wanted to hang out with us.

True.

Anyway, we have to continue with the chapter! We were doing personality traits, right? Wait, don't answer that. I know what we were doing.

Where shall we start, that is the better question...

I got this. Lets start. Ok, personalities are a fickle thing, when making your oc, you need to make sure this is how you want them. Let's take Edward's personality. Ed is a hot tempered boy, who likes to cuss. He always finishes what he started, and is there for his family(AL). He is horrible at romance, and is not quick to trust people.

Some people may think that his personality can contradicts itself, but it really doesn't, and he has a reason for his personalities. Ed is hot tempered because he fears of what could happen to himself or Al. So, instead of taking it down, he snaps at reality, and pushes it away, to keep Al safe.

He isn't quick to trust people because of all the shit he went through, and how some people betrayed his trust. Ed has a reason for each of his characteristics, and he sticks by them.

Bailey, I have no idea what to do with this chapter, you can keep talking. I don't know what to write... I will just add small tidbits.

Fine by me.

Anyway, when you make your character, you need to make sure that the personality is balance. We can't have oc's that are smarter than Ed, a better fighter than Izumi, kinder than Al, and is better at wielding guns than Riza, with their only weakness is clumsiness. That cant even work.

How can your oc become a fighter, when they are clumsy?!

I say Bella Swan.

Team Elric.

All the way

Anyway, Candy, I think we should give an example for an oc, don't you think?

Oh hell no!

Oh yes! *Acts like Doctor Who*

Give me a couple minutes, I got this. Don't do anything.

But-

NEJ NEIN NON NO NOPE NU-UH NO WAY, STOP IT.

Your so mean.. :(

Good.

So, while Candy creates the oc, which she doesn't want me to help with, I suppose I should talk more about personalities. When you make the personality, you could make some points her strong suits, while making others their Achilles heel. Lets take myself for example seeing as there is no oc yet.

I am what most people describe as 'smart'. I get good grades, and quickly learn to adapt to a new situation. While this is my strong point, other than academics, I don't understand the real world. I usually goof around, and say whatever is on my mind, even if its offensive, without thinking, causing me to get in trouble with certain people.

My strong point and weak point are connected. Because while I am smart when you hand me a test, my life was centered around doing good in school, causing me to not know how to act, and to not know how the world works.

Hey, bailey

Your back?

Oui, et non. I just want to ask a question; do you want this oc to be blond?

I don't really mind what hair color...

Shes a brown head now.

M'kay, good luck!

Where was I..? Oh yeah...

Now, when you make your oc, its logical to have the personalities to sync with each other. For example; Riza is a quiet, strict woman. She often times has a 'no fooling around' policy when she shoots at Mustang for him to get his work down. Although, she has a softer side when dealing with younger people or animals, but that's mostly it.

She has this softer side from being sheltered most of her life by her father. And, unlike the Elrics, didn't face tragedy or death until her later years. She can have this softer side, hell, she needs a softer side. This chick participated in the Ishvalen war. I'm surprised she didn't crack.

Also, when giving your Oc flaws, you should make it so that those flaws backfire at them at one point. Lets say Alphonse in the '03 series. In one episode, around the end, Shou Tucker used Al's kindness against him, and had him give part of his body philosopher stone to help create a new Nina.

Al was too kind, and took pity on Shou, causing him to loose part of himself.

I am so sick of people writing that their oc is "Kind, but has a darker side because that is sugoi~! ^-^" No. Stop that shit. Noone likes it. NOONE. DEATH WILL RAIN UPON OUR FANDOM FOR THIS WILL BE THE APOCALYPSE THE TIME WHEN THEY COME.

THE

MARY

SUES.

..Goddamn it, I need to sleep. Also, I don't like English. I can't spell half the words, but I cant speak no other language. Literally. I am Spanish, and I only speak English. It happened when I was small, I watched English shows, copied their language, and VOILA. I am not joking. It was Dora. Dora taught me the language. Goddamn it.

Where was I going with this?

Candy is still not done with the oc (It has been a day since she last contacted me now) So, I hope it will be in the next chapter.

And guys, the reason this story is taking so long is because I'm lazy. I have to look for spelling errors, typos, and then write the whole thing on the computer, from my phone. Thank you for bearing with me.

Next chapter; Looks and hopefully our own example oc.
