Discussion Question - Nostalgia : What was your first OC?

Diego was the first OC I created for a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure story that my friends and I made when I was about 12 years old. In the story, he was depicted as the son of Pucci before he passed away. The character was initially designed to cater to the fanfiction's theme, but I've made several changes to him since then. I'm currently developing a game on him with a few friends; we should have at least a test demo out in 6 months, maybe.

My first group of OCs were a quadruplet superhero team. I've always had a thing with having my OCs be part of a multiple group (twins, triplets, etc). I remember making a comic of them when I was very young, possibly 4-5 years old. The quadruplets were around my age. I have since miss placed the notebook where I made it. I don't remember their names too much. All I know is that I made a sequel comic as well. I was a very imaginative child haha. I even made an IRL cast of them and had my schoolmates be them. I never told them about the comic (I think). I just remember I would want them to play the characters if it ever became an actual movie. 

I remember in the sequel there was a fair amount of "gore," which even my mom said was weird. That has also crossed over to my recent writings. I wonder what happened for me to be into all of that from such a young age. 

I haven't seen the comic in a while. I know that the drawings weren't the best, and I don't remember the story too much. All I know is that I was very proud of it, and the people around me encouraged me to keep doing what I was doing. It worked lmao. I'm gonna try to publish a novel in Spring 2024.

my first oc was a mary sue version of myself it was a neko girl with wings and a eye pad on the left eye because of a scar ,, she was part of a group of three girl (including saided oc) and we were like diferent types of animals (on of them was a bunny and the other was a fox) there really isnt a lot of lore i just wanted to be a catgirl with magical power lolz

@Shoka : Making a game sounds really exciting! I have no experience in that field, but I can imagine how much work you're putting into this demo. Hopefully all goes well! Is the game still based on/inspired by JJBA, or has your oc branched out from that significantly since then?

@Vincent Cain : Incorporating real life friends into a story feels so sincere and heartwarming, I wish I did something similar growing up. I can absolutely relate to the inclusion of gore, however. I'm so glad that you're writing a novel! Similarly to Shoka, I wish you the best of luck!

@Jayden !? : Self-insert mary sues are so real,, and even now I would be lying if I said that I didn't vicariously live through my current ocs. Absolutely no shame in having a harmless power fantasy character at that age, especially if they're said catgirl with magic powers. 

The game is still inspired by JJBA to some extent, as evidenced by some of the character moves and poses, but the main character, Diego, has his own distinct backstory and personality. However, in the process of creating Diego's character, I found it difficult to come up with a unique personality for him, and he has since evolved into somewhat of a self-insert character. His entire story is essentially an exaggerated version of my own life experiences. The entire game is really just a massive role-playing story that I'm creating with two of my friends.

The first OC I had was in the disney series called 7D universe. 7D is basically about the seven dwarves from snow white except they serve the queen and go on adventures. I had a crush on the bashful one (which is weird i know) and i used to ship him with my OC. Her name was Rosemary and she was a princess from another kingdom who ran away. There's not much lore of her because she's from a kids show lol
