User blog comment:Memai/Why I cannot take your OC seriously./@comment-3145713-20120208035640/@comment-67.85.200.187-20120208171907

Just jumping in for a moment, because I agree with Memai on everything:

Hua, most characters are "original". Sure, there may be similar traits between characters, but when you stop trying to make your characters stand out so much you actually do a more of a job making them unique. With my characters, I usually add a small piece of myself into them, even if it's small and not important whatsoever. It helps development greatly when you're not worrying about "how can i make my character be noticed?". This is directed to everyone. Zak
