    I created this thread to allow fellow rpers to share tips. Allowing New users to improve their own OC's so they have a higher chance of getting and fitting into any if not all roleplay scenario's.

    Heres my Tips:
    1) Create multiple OC's so you can be in RP's that don't necessarily fit your main one.
    2) Don't make them too weak or too kind. Handy seeing as 98% of rp's seem to revolve around some form of conflict.
    3) Make the Characters sheet clean and easy to navigate. While this doesn't apply to the character itself its highly useful. Don't overdo it try to use only pictures and text. If you have a lot of pictures try making it neater by putting the pics in spoilers.

    If you have anymore to share just post them down below. Also if a mod can sticky this thread and This thread. To help make it easier for new users to see and follow that would be great.

    Make your character indispensable.
    Make them an important part of the story. Don't just be a background character.
    The last thing you want is to have your character be left behind or ignored because they never do anything.

    Have a plan to "Power up."
    It is very possible that you will find yourself in an RP with "Overpowered" characters.
    Don't complain or quit. Instead, come up with a way put your character on their level.
    Be it a spell, an artifact, or even divine intervention, the only thing to remember is to keep it plausible.

    Interact.
    A strong, silent type of character that likes to work alone may be fun to write, but they are boring to RP with.
    Even if you decide to create a total jerk, make sure to keep them interacting with the other characters.
