This is kind of just a list of traits–I’m not really sure that possessing them makes a character too perfect, it’s probably more about the character’s execution/presentation than actual things about them. Maybe. Though enough of these traits will, I guess, make the character a boring cliché.

The Bohrok Lord - An earlier version of Sharnak I made when I was 12. Once an ordinary Le-Matoran from Metru-Nui, he fell into a bohrok nest where his head was exposed to energized protodermis, turning it into a Tahnok-Kal’s. Has all 12 bohrok powers. His head has no Krana, rather a pocket dimension. Despite all his powers, he’s kind of an idiot and a jerk that no one takes seriously, not even himself. Did I mention I made him when I was 12?

Sharnak - a Le-Matoran from Metru-Nui that either fled or was exiled during the civil war. He is a skilled engineer, creating experimental tools, gadgets and managed to reverse engineer the Vahki. He is eccentric and jaded, especially among Le-Matoran. Has a strong dislike for authority. Wears a powerless Akakau. Is destined to become a Toa.

Ansark - Sharnak from an antimatter universe. Has a specialized energy shield and devices that shield him from the main universe. Though a matoran, his tools allow him to channel his limited elemental powers, which take the form of destructive anit-matter energy in the main universe. His shield makes him resistant to physical damage, but if ever punctured, he is completely destroyed in a blast of energy. Though a matoran at the beginning, he gradually replaces parts of himself until he become something unrecognizable.

Lizard Wizard - My Argonian that I always play as in every Elder Scrolls game. All he wants to do is live a quiet life, but is always dragged into fate of the world prophecies. How does he live over two hundred years? Why does his appearance always change? The Hist made him a Time Lord or something IDK. And yes, that is his name.

FINALS SCORES

TBL - 7

Considering TBL has 12 powers, I wouldn’t call him balanced. Lizard Wizard is unsurprising though, he basically becomes a god at the end of each game.

So 17 counting the maybes. Also 2 in the ‘good’ section? This comprehensive test is lacking in a couple areas and assumes in a few as well.

Also, quickly gonna mention:

They have lots of morals and state them a fair bit for example: ‘I would rather be with my friends than with my boyfriend/girlfriend’ ‘Nothing matters more to me than my friends/family’ ‘I wouldn’t hesitate to die in place of a friend’ etc. It’s fine if your OC has these beliefs/values, but if they constantly say them out loud/preach them to others, then we have a problem.

‘Lots of morals’ here implies virtuous morals. Ghid’s depiction in written work has always established him as a morally complex character, but always a conflicted one as well. He will proudly proclaim his perceived-as-objective perspective on society, which is always just shy of being moral but too strong and well-versed to be contested with any success. As fatalistic or overbearing as the reach of his morality may be, you are compelled to agree - he’s 80% right, after all.

Also just like me he’s VERY intelligent and has EXTREMELY good attire and wait why did I check psycho

They never knew their parents

They were abused/spoiled as a child

This looks fun. Gonna run my character Ari Wohlford from one of the best RPs on the boards, ToGaV (man her design in that post is outdated, I’ll need to replace it with a newer drawing)

They are possessed by an angel

They are possessed by a demon

They are a werewolf/vampire/faerie

They are physically strong.

They have a rare hair/fur color (red but like… literally red)

Their eyes are an unusual color

This happens to be red

Their eyes change color

They have wings

They can grow extra body parts/ ■■■■■■■■■■

They are immortal

(if a female) they have large boobs

(if a male) they are very muscular

[?] They are very attractive to the opposite gender. (Idk, depends on the person. This point is a bit silly)

They are telekinetic/pyrokinetic/etc

They have sixth sense/can mind-read/etc

They were bestowed/cursed with these powers

They are a healer

They are from a very rich/royal family

They don’t know that they are from a very rich/royal background

They have lost one/both of their parents

They ran away from home

Their parents are cruel, uncaring, abusive etc.

[?] They witnessed one/both of their parent’s death (Haven’t figured out this bit of the lore yet)

They are part angel/demon/faerie/some other mythical creature (does crab person count?)

They never knew their parents

They have lots of friends/no friends

They are emo/cutesy

They look much younger/older than they really are.

They are currently in a relationship (the only ship she has any relations to is the one that floats in water :smirk:)

They have lots of morals and state them a fair bit for example: ‘I would rather be with my friends than with my boyfriend/girlfriend’ ‘Nothing matters more to me than my friends/family’ ‘I wouldn’t hesitate to die in place of a friend’ etc. It’s fine if your OC has these beliefs/values, but if they constantly say them out loud/preach them to others, then we have a problem.

They have a mental disorder

They are a psycho

They have multiple personalities

They are very intelligent

They have hallucinations

They can summon spirits/demons/angels etc.

They have a ‘special type’ of soul (what in the world does this even mean!?)

Their soul is not the same as them (what in the world does this even mean!?)

They can talk to spirits/ghosts (the entire crew of the Kaelin’s Hand can communicate with the Ghost Sailors, so yeah no)

Some part of their body glows

They have a rare/unusual name (I guess…)

They were born on an important date, such as New Year’s Eve, Midsummers Night, The Winter Solstace etc.

They have a twin/sibling that they were separated from at birth/a young age (This is major spoilers for the Wohlford lore so I will neither confirm nor deny)

They are connected with a certain element

They are connected with a certain animal

They always dress like a certain ‘label’

They look quite a bit like a character from a popular anime/manga

They are a race/species that is discriminated against/misunderstood (crab people, yes)

They have a certain power that is misunderstood/feared (Idk does being really physically strong count?)

They live/lived on the streets at some point in their lives

They are hiding from someone/something

They have a rare blood type

They cry blood (when in the world has this been anyone’s character trait, ever?)

Certain noises/smells/situations/etc make their powers activate/give them a nervous breakdown (the letters G, O, R, O, V, arranged in that exact order)

They are from a different country to where they live

They are very mysterious/dark

They are very lively/happy

Their mood changes a lot/very quickly

They are very patient

They are from a long line of … (people who build ships for a living. One of them was a crab)

They have amnesia

They have some sort of permanent medical condition (does being really fricking buff count?)

The have a curse upon them

Take points off your OCs overall score if they fit any of the following statements:

They smoke

They are an alcoholic

They are overweight

They are addicted to drugs

They have a short temper

They enjoy bullying others (unintentionally, yes)

They do not care much about others

They are emotionless

Aaand the final score is 10. I guess Ari is a balanced character yay (it is an accident, I can’t write)

And quite a few of the points on the list make zero sense. Yeah I’d say a redo wouldn’t hurt

Dolphus when he is not a Hasbin Hotel character

Seeing as Dolphus is 14 that’s another reason I didn’t check this :dizzy_face:

Nota, a character isn’t truly great unless both of his parents die in front of him under very harrowing and traumatizing circumstances which he does not possess the mental maturity to properly cope with (I am not referring to any specific character whatsoever :goo:)

Unbelievably based :sunglasses:

I am not racist against crab people! I think they taste delicious especially when slow boiled :triumph:

Her certain power is being made of concrete and never exercising yet having perfect abs 24/7

now why would that be :goo:

“I’m just big boned”

“…and by that I mean there is a cyst directly under my bicep help”

Completely unrelated to this, I had shrimp for lunch today

Now let’s not jump to conclusions here

I never stated that she never exercises. And the second half of the statement is just false. They didn’t have steroids in Middle Ages :triumph:
