Okay, so this is basically about power playing and realizing if your character is a Mary/Gary Sue.

Good OC’s

So, first up a normal and good character, let’s use my OC Pinetail. She is a tall, dark brown she-cat with amber eyes. I don’t feel her description is one of a Mary Sue character. Now, other things about her. She wants to be deputy but knows her chances aren’t to great, she has had one apprentice, her mate is a normal warrior and her only litter have been background characters. Not powerplaying here am I? Going to bad OC’s.

Bad OC’s

So now we have Gemstar. She is the leader of GemClan, a Clan that used to be called MoonClan but’s name changed for her. She has a silver pelt and is very beautiful, her pelt also shimmers with all the colours of the rainbow. Her eyes are all the prettiest colours and there leader actually retired to let her become leader. She has tons of mates and all her kits are important. All the other Clan leaders have stepped down because she is awesome. You get where this is going right? That’s what I call a bad OC

Better OC’s?

So, you now want a better OC? Well, let’s turn Gemstar into a better cat. First her name, cats don’t even know what gems are! Let’s turn her into Brightstar. Now removing her leadership position and now she is Brightpool. Now let’s change her personality. Instead of being the super kind flawless cat, let’s give her a few flaws, she has a habit to stray into other cats territories, she is clumsy sometimes and sometimes eats before the elders. She has one mate now and two liters of kits, at least one cat in each litter has died and they’re all basically background characters. Oh, I forgot about her colour, she is now grey and white with yellow eyes. That about sums it up.
