I am feeling incredibly lazy today. So instead of creating something, I'm just going to rate the characters you've created. Your OCs will be graded on multiple criteria: • Are they visually cohesive? • Is their backstory interesting? • Is their backstory WELL WRITTEN? (These two are not mutually exclusive) • Do their abilities make any sense in their own universe? • Do I personally like them? (this one won't affect the final score) An OC has the potential to get a 5/5 in each category (save for the final one), leading to a potential highest score of 20/20. Yippee. The only real rule here is that the OC needs to be yours. They're called 'original characters' for a reason. As for how I will treat AI... While I will not exclude AI characters from judging, I will heavily dock points from their scores. And please don't try to pass off AI art or writing as your own... I can tell when something is AI, and you'll only embarrass yourself. Finally, a lot of what I say is subjective, so please don't take my word as definitive truth (not that anyone is doing that anyway.) If your OC(s) have a backstory or anything, please replace ALL THE TEXT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS with said backstory or other things. By providing a backstory for your characters, I can better judge if their abilities and physical appearance make sense in relation to the backstory, and I can actually fully judge your character. Thank you for participating and reading. I look forward to looking over your characters. ~ES (uhhhh tags) #art #stories #oc #grading #ranking #rating
