darkSpyro

The system of worlds is in trouble, the Omega series, planets capable of life, but is also capable of being destroyed. Dark energy masks the evil entity that seeks food from the living, and has over run five of the Omegas. The remaining seven have prepared for for the attack, but little do they know, it will never be enough. The planets are too wide spread to defend one another, and precautions are undergoing both consideration and trial. Earth, the starting home of the Human race stands the furthest from danger, but the dragon world of Avalar is next in the line up, right before Reach, Equestria, Joto, and the un-named Omega 3; a colony of the mixed races between the worlds. Omega 2 is a technological planet, built to advance all science and study. These planets are in the gravest of danger, the black smog drifts closer and closer to Omega Seven. You are the descendants of great warriors of history, link your story to that of your past hero and band them together in search of the only known power to break the dark shield and brave the darkness itself, The Sentinel, an unknown being with the ability to breach the dark magic that endlessly defends the unstoppable hunger.

The Sentinel will be chosen at random when the time comes, it depends on how the game plays out.

Basic rules plus:
Must be a real fandom(lol, like no fandom is fake, just specify just in case)
Sentinel is not going to be in any descriptions
No crossbreeds
No Alternate species, and OCs only
Must have a clear hero background(The hero cannot be an OC)

Some characters can have more than one Descendant.

((THIS SOUNDS SO COOL!!! Does it have to be from one of the aforementioned fandoms? Or can it be from a different one?))

OOC: any fandom that can be specified by the "Descendant of" section

((Okay. Thanks, because I had an OC that wasn't from any of those.))

Name: Aren
Gender: Male
Species: Elf
Appearance: He is a tall male, about 6'2' and is somewhat tan, tanner than most of his Elven kind. He has a brown mop of messy hair, the front reaching down to his eyes at its longest point, a little on his ears at the side, and in the back to about halfway down his neck. He has bright blue eyes, eys that look so much older than his body, as if they've seen so much more than an average person of his lifespan. His face is an average shaped face (oval) with high cheekbones, a little bit longer nose, though not by much. His face is also a little elongated, because he decided to alter his DNA with wolf DNA.

He has a silver chest plate, with some dents in it from constant use. On the chest plate he has a Phoenix emblazoned onto it. ((I think I worded that right....)) He has a helmet that when the visor is down, it makes him look like a Phoenix. His helmet is also silver. He wears a regular pair of leather breeches, and he has metal boots. Under his chest plate, he wears a leather tunic.

As for gear, he has a shield on his back, that he can use if necessary, with the same Phoenix symbol on it. The shield is a large, circular shield, made completely of steel, with gold rims. He has a sword on his belt, a long sword, with a hand and a half hilt, in case he needs to wield it with both hands. The sword is about a foot, to a foot and three inches, the blade made of steel. The hilt is a golden hilt, with a ruby at the bottom of it.
Descended from: Eragon Bromsson
Personal History:Aren was a simple warrior. Except for the fact that he was in a relationship with the Elf Princess, Areya. He was an aeromancer, and was actually one of the most-trusted warriors in the entire Elf Kingdom. On a mission, Aren and his team were ambushed by some sort of stone guardians, right after they had discovered an Umbrastone. Aren was the only survivor, and began to race back to the kingdom. On his way back, he was ambushed by a Dark One, Sarika, and his minions, and had to battle them off. He was doing good, until he was cornered by Sarik and his minions. He managed to fight them off for awhile, but he was surrounded, on the ground, the Umbrastone in his hand. Sarika asked for it, and, in defiance, he smashed the stone into his chest. Him and Exeros became one, and he killed all of Sarika's minions, Exeros in control, then he killed Sarika. He then passed out.

A day later, a bunch of elves showed up at the huge crater, and began searching for Aren. When they found him, they saw he had an Umbrastone on mind in his cents, and they feared it already may be too late. They took him back, and locked him down on a bed as they began to try to find a way to cure him.

While this was happening, he was conversing with Exeros. Exeros was trying to convince Aren that most of what was said about them in the Elves' books was false, and that his kind weren't all monsters. After awhile, Aren began to believe him, and let up his barriers. They then truly became one.

Aren awoke to find himself in his situation, and looked up to see the Elves studying him. He got enraged, and broke his chains, and flew into the air. He blasted a few of them away, and was stopped when Areya came to him asking him to stop. He just shook his head and told her he needed to get away and left.

~

After a few years of exploring, with Exeros with him, he learned something about their universe. That there were other planets out there with more people living on them. He then spent the next 25 years of his immortal life trying to find a way to go and explore. After a realization he had, he decided he could just use his powers to shield himself from the vacuum of space, and be able to give himself oxygen out in space. He then began his journey and found himself on Omega-3 and then found himself in a very tricky situation. He would have to help these people he just met against some sort of darkness.
Other: He has control over air, lightning, and darkness.

Can you give any information as to how this character may tie into the plot? Like, does he know, does he not know, is he apart of it, or does he just not care? Something though

((Yeah, I realized that as I was copying and pasting that from the document I have with all my OCs/CCs. I'll be spending the next ten minutes fixing plot holes! ))

Hmm... maybe.....

Couple of questions. For the relation to a past hero, does it have to be a blood relation or can it be something like trained under? Because I have an idea involving Kingdom Hearts that plays on the passage of the power of the Keyblade.

Also, is "Joto" meant to be the Pokemon region of Johto? If not, what fandom is that? I tried googling it and came up with it being a spanish derogatory term for a homosexual.

2. Yeah, I forgot how to spell it, it is Pokemon... Lol, not Spanish, nothing to do with alternate languages(unless your character speaks a different language).

Alright, thank you. Lol, I was hoping it wasn't Spanish but thought I'd ask. Pokemon brings some ideas though....

I am thinking of joining, but I don't know...

(OOC: I have an idea for a character I want to use, but... he's an OC that's not from an official fandom. In fact, he's based on a series I made up. Am I still allowed to use him?)

I prefer official fandoms, as small as books. It would be good, but official fandoms have more information spread around the world. Like: most of the world knows MLP, Pokemon, Halo, Spyro, Eragon, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Dead Space, Zelda, Hunger Games, Guardians, Warriors, Avengers, DC, ect. Got any for the official ones?

Do Fakemon count?

I was going to join with a character from my cartoon/game concept Heroes Guild, which is a spinoff of another cartoon concept of mine about a pink unicorn bunny named Benny, which as ALSO supposed to be the brother of another cartoon/game concept called Elemental Force, which was designed to be a game much like Skylanders.

Hmm... Maybe... Maybe... May... Bee... C... D... E... Q

Name: Noqsu Tomoee(Nock-sue Tow-mow-we)
Gender: Female
Species: human
Appearance: Roughly 6 foot 2, with dark green jeans, tan boots, open blue jean coat, single braid in a somewhat long set of black hair. Her shirt is a hazel, like a mix between her pants and coat color, topped with a necklace of a blue shard of what looks like glass that constantly glows.
Descendent from: Kirigaya Kazuto Aka: Kirito
Personal History: She was a main tester for the advanced gaming stations on Omega 2. Her necklace had been generated from her grandfather's memories and gaming profiles, and has worn it ever since. She puts most of her time into one main character in hopes of having her generated to reality. One day it had happened, but her mind was lost in the new body(the one I described), locking her in that gaming form. As long as she is on Omega 2 her gaming menus are available, but if she leaves, only what she has generated comes with her. The threat of the dark powers approaching make her feel like it was fate to be trapped in this more fitting body. She was faster, stronger, and was able to pull off stunts and maneuvers she only dreamt of doing in real life. Now that she has her desired form, she feels she is ready to take on what ever else life decides to throw her way.
Other: if you watch the show, you know very well what that "shard" is... She does not always want to be in her fictional character form, for fear of what will happen to it.

OOC: thinking of adding an Attack on Titan character here... But I managed to forget my most important... Well crap never mind, Ballistic wouldn't fit this time line... Might add more later though

Then what you want is not called an "OC". An "OC" is what MugoUrth was trying to join with. A character from your own ORIGINAL story.
What you, SpyroD, are looking for is "FC" which stands for Fan Character. A fan character is a character who is made for a FANdom. See the difference? Because OC and FC are completely different and are NOT interchangeable terms.
So you might want to change that in your first post. Because you have broken your own rule if not, since it says "OCs only". I would think that a mod for the RP section would know the difference.

OC, FC, or whatever else, it shouldn't matter. All are characters that we create. Just because they get made and are used in a fic or RP based on an exisiting series, doesn't mean they can't be used in a unique story of their own or vice-versa. I have used my characters in fan-stories, original stories, and their own story of my own creation, it just means the character's abilities, back-story, and costume might change a little to conform to the nature of the universe they are used in.

What's so wrong with compromise that a character has to exist only the world they were created for? My main OC was originally created to be a fan-character in a DNAngel story. Though over time he evolved, new characters were made to join him, and he got his own story; yet if I wanted, I could still use him in a DNAngel story or any other story based on anything. He is an original character of my own creation with his own personality and characteristics.

I don't see what the big deal is that a character used in a fan-story is so looked down upon. It's still a character made by a young writer or role-player. The story doesn't make the character. You can have a bad plot, yet still a great character who you will come to love, hate, or maybe both. It doesn't matter how they're used, merely that they are a quality character.

I'd like to add that the last sentence in your post came off as rather rude. To me it seemed like you were saying SpyroD didn't deserve to be a mod. I don't care how long you've been on this site, or how long you've been role-playing or writing fics, that is disrespectful, rude, and could be construed as bullying.

OC stands for "Original Character". It does not matter how "original" one's fan character is, they are not an OC if they exist in an already existing "fandom". It's quite simple. I didn't say that having one was bad, did I? I simply stated that OCs and FCs are not the same thing. This link explains too.
http://jammerlee.deviantart.co...t-OCs-146957708
The title for this RP is misleading to those who use OCs, such as myself. This RP only allowed FCs, so there is NEED for change in the rules and title.

Also, I didn't know that saying that a mod of the RP section should know some things about characters and RPing was bullying.

Alright, I'm sorry, I suppose I misinterpreted.

I did read that link from your signature, I choose to disagree. I choose to see the character as a character, rather than trying to define them by the story they are used in or try to determine various incarnations into types of OCs or FCs. I do get there are differences, but I also don't see why we can't also look at the similarities. Why can't a character be both?

It's great that you consider a character what they are, a character! But it's even greater to consider your character as a person so it makes the experience more real. But that's another thing for another time. So let's talk about FCs and OCs and why it's so big to label them as such!

First off, I want to say that it's totally okay to consider FC and OC as the same thing, because a LOT of people do this. Even I! For me, I normally start a character off as a FC and then kind of branch off to the point where they have potential to be an OC.

But right now I'm afraid there has to be a difference (because SpyroD wants one idk) so let me elaborate on why this is: It's for organizations and to cause less misunderstandings like now. FCs are of course for characters that were based off of a pre-set template in a way. OCs had no template (except inspiration I suppose) and came from the brilliant minds of authors or authors to-be.

FCs are meant to exsist or intereact with the main characters in an already exsisting world with their own cultue, manerisims, and geography.
OCs are meant to exsist to thrive and interact in a world that was also created by the same mind.

Of course there are blurred lines between these feilds, but a lot of people in the past tend to mix them up. A lot. It was horrible, and even caused arrogance and plagarisim. Thankfully, this trend started to help people with knowing what character and what and even play on how they interact in the fandom world. The reason why we are having this argument is because SpyroD was wrong with his labeling and caused a misunderstanding. Yes, it did turn out fine in the end which I'm glad for, but he still needs to work on understanding these labels so he can get the results he wants. If he wants OCs only, they have to not come from an already exsisting franchise. If he wants characters that are already exsisting characters but come from a world that already DOES, then he should say FCs only. If he doesn't mind the difference like you and me, then he should say Both FC and OC allowed.

Do you see what I mean?

OOC: dear god people! A simple "Hey do you know what you mean is FC, which stands for Fan-character? They are characters made from a fandom, where as OC is for characters that weren't made from a fandom, or mislabled as so." I see what you ALL are saying, and no I did not know what FCs were, cause I had never heard of them. Personally I believe and FC should be considered an OC because they are not copies of the base characters(aka the stars, which in fact were once just OCs at one point(think about it: Lauren Faust made FIM because of the original storys of MLP, which she started her inspired art on FiM characters, her OCs since they do not technically follow the G1-4 series)), having their own story, sure it is the same world, but not always interact with the main character(s)... So this whole thing you... fought over(though I appreciate the defense) was completely unnecessary. Yes I'm a mod, but that doesn't mean I am all knowing, I still dont know half this site, or how the Skylander heads can be inserted into text(don't worry about telling me, I won't use them anyway).

Honestly I dont think it should be changed because not everyone, like myself obviously, do not know or really care about the difference. An OC is a character that in not originally from the story, that's all that matters. Call it an FC if you want, they just have to be made up characters that have descended from movie, book, or game characters that are official, not fan stories or non-published stories...

Also again do fakemon count?

I think I'll join. I might add another character based on KH.

Name: Seiki Tanaka
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance:
Descended from: Morty (Seiki's Uncle)
Personal History: Seiki grew up in Ecruteak City in the Johto region. At a young age he became fascinated by Ghost-types much like his Uncle which led to him spending a great deal of time at the gym studying under his uncle Morty. Though he was too young at the time to go on a journey and catch Pokemon, Morty gave Seiki an egg to take care of to help teach him to take care of Pokemon. The egg hatched not long before Seiki came of age to set out on his journey. As a present for starting his journey, Morty gave Seiki a Pokeball to keep the Litwick that had hatched. Seiki has since travelled about the regions, caught many Pokemon and is currently working on becoming a gym leader in his uncle's footsteps.
Other: Only uses Moon Balls. Team is Chandelure, Golurk, Gengar, Trevenant, Aegislash, and Fan Rotom.

Where to begin... *sigh* SpyroD, I appreciate your participation in my old Zelda-based RP but am currently a tad concerned. You are a mod. You are responsible for not only modding and retaining order... but doing so in the ROLEPLAYING section of DarkSpyro. I understand that you also manage the fandom section, but please do not get that confused with the roleplaying section.

Let me me list two characters of mine, one whom you know. According to my own profile...
Darin - gryphon shapeshifter whom was raised by gryphons
Ganim - hero from an alternate dimension who's cursed in the form of a wolf

At first they appear the same in their vague general descriptions. However, what differentiates an OC and an FC is their backstory and the world they come from. Let's take a look at part of their backstories from a couple RPs:

Darin: Darin comes from a universe with many humanoid races (including humans) and many mystical races (including dragons). In the particular land in which Darin comes from, there are mostly elves and mystical creatures. Half-elves are also somewhat abundant and humans are less common. ... Darin lived in/nearby a small village. His history, however, begins with the gryphons that resided deep within the nearby woods. At a young age, these gryphons found him as a young gryphon cub. He was found on the side of an old dirt road and in a cage. He had amnesia and only remembered his name. In any case, they took him in and raised/trained him for years. At the age of 14, a half-elven hunter accidentally shot an arrow through one of his wings and caused him to crash. As the hunter pulled out the arrow, something triggered in him and he shifted to his original elven form. Long lost memories came back to him

Ganim: Ganim (formally Link) is an alternate version of the "Hero of Time" form the OoT Hyrule. His story is similar, yet different. ... In the Twilight Era, he finds himself imprisoned within one of the dungeon cells. Due to the crystal, he appears as the Golden Wolf. He's the young version, however, and has yet to lose an eye. He's unfamiliar with the concept of twilight and it may take time for his memories to return.

The former is an OC while the later is an FC. How does know tell and know the difference? Take a closer look. Darin comes from an original universe of my ideas and is not, in any way, connected to any known character of a game or TV show, or other major media. He is based on... my own thoughts and nothing else. Ganim, on the other hand, is "an alternate version" of Link... specifically the OoT/MM version. His whole background is... a game. Let me repeat... a VIDEO GAME. That's what makes him an FC rather then an OC. Your characters (and the characters you wish to join) are similar in that they are a "Descendent of" a major character from an established universe not of the user's original thoughts. My Zelda RP, though infused with some unique time ripple/merge ideas, was purely based upon an established source... Zelda. In comparison, the RPs that involve Darin often are original worlds that the user had to think of. When you ask for "OCs only", you asking for Darin-like characters and attracting that audiece. What you really want is FCs, which are Ganim-like characters. You clarify this by stating "Must be a real fandom" which goes AGAINST what an OC truly is. I agree with the users above in that you need to update all your OC references to FC and get the audience/characters you want.

No one seems to get it... I dont have a 24/7 internet life... Not everyone knows the whole FC OC thing, most stay with OC anyway. I'm not changing my tittle or rules because some people are supper supper critical on word choice. So it is mislabled oh friggen well, you still know what I mean, get over it please!

No, we don't. That's the point. That's what most of the people are trying to say is that it causes confusion.

Also, for the third time, do Fakemon count as FCs?

Most people who RP who what an OC is and what an FC is. If you are asking for "OC only", that is read as No FCs allowed! Gotta use an completely original character! People who only use FCs may not glance at this topic for THAT VERY REASON. OCs are NOT FCs ... and FCs are NOT OCs. If you want one specific audience, you gotta get in the know and ask for the right audience!

I actually didn't know FC was a thing until I saw people being all butthurt about it on this site and I'd been rp'ing on another forum for years.

You've made your case, and we get it. SpyroD has already said he's not changing it. Can we just drop it and move along with the RP?

You made a mistake, you have a job to fix your mistake. Not just as a mod but as a human being because it's literally our nature to say "this is a mistake i must fix"

I'm not gonna keep on explaing the difference and I'm not going to be all "WOW U SUK AT DIS JOB U LOWLIFE" because like wow that would be super rude and not only that but this is like a learning skill so listen up kiddies we gon learn

Not only that, idk if u know this but people don't read minds???? so people with characters you want might not join?????? And of course not a lot of us have a 24/7 internet life but that's still no excuse. As a mod you should take your job as seriously as you possibly can. If you can't be on for that long then learn as much as you can. Everything is a learning experience and you just cant have your head up your ass. Everything has room for improvment. You need to say "I made a mistake. I acknowledge I made a mistake. I must fix this mistake"

It's childish for someone to say "WELL I KNOOOOW WHAT MISTAKE I MADE GUYS, BUT I CANT FIX IT BECAUSE I AM BUT MERE CHILD"

Sadly it's not only you who does that, a lot of adults do that too and I don't want you to end up this way. So no if, ands, or buts! I want you to fix your mistake and be the great mod you strive to be! X3

Well.....this happened. I new what all these were, I just called them differently. Apparently, what I called OCs are FCs and what I called CCs are OCs. Oh well, now I know. Also, I think that you should still change it.

Ok... I can be a mod. By deleting interruptive or spam or off topic posts like all of those who continue to pester me about something I didn't know. I have other things I have to learn and keep up with(the army is a higher priority than learning about FCs OCs or CCs...), so what if I didnt know these terms existed, I said leave it alone, so leave it alone. I knew the difference after the first post, no arguing for me, no repeating it several times, and quit telling me what to do. I know what I'm doing, and in all honesty, people have always used the OC term for any character they created themselves, just go on deviant art, many "OCs" that root from a show/game/book/movie titled with "OC" Why not ho tell a nation of artists they are wrong, and keep bugging them about it the same you are doing for me. The way I see it, have always seen it, and how others obviously see it, is that an OC is a character that hadn't already been created for show/game/book/movie purposes. So that's the way its going to be, and I'm sure there are very few people on this site that know about the terms(besides the few conversating(I know this isn't a real word, but it makes sense, so leave it be) here now).

I'm only going to say this one more time. After that, I am afraid I give up.

Do Fakemon qualify for this RP?

Sorry, was busy there... Too much nonsense and people who won't listen... Sorry, fan made fandoms aren't exactly official fandoms... If your character directly followed Pokémon then it would have.

I really hate to butt in like this, but I'm inclined to now. SD, what we're saying is that you're confusing the majority of people because you're basically cheating people out of this RP. People who have OC's they wanna RP with will see your title, click on it, and realize that this guy's actually talking about a FC and so they feel like they've been cheated out of a good RP. It's false advertising really. And honestly right now, you're really just being stubborn about it. It doesn't matter if this is a low priority. Yeah, you didn't know. So what? Fix it and move on. Cause guess what? By arguing against it and being stubborn, you've wasted even MORE of your time and MORE posts in this RP than if you'd just changed it and moved on.

Well, honestly my whole spiel on the whole FC and OC thing is I think there needs to be a distinction because it isn't your right. Honestly. Even if it's a new character. Let's say FC Phil the Hedgehog. So, if I called it an OC, I'm basically taking credit from SEGA, who made the base and I just tweaked it a little. So I'm using someone else's idea, tweaking it a little, and calling it my own. "Hey guys! This is my own ORIGINAL character (Hence OC, >.>) that I didn't copy from ANYONE!" Uh, no, you're just taking all the credit for yourself using what somebody already had. And that isn't cool. What if someone took you're ideas. Let's say your favorite Golden God Dragon and they made.....oh, I don't know, a Silver God Gryphon and said, "I made this character on my own." And you know they've either RP'ed with you or read your stories. Would you let them take the credit? You know they obviously ripped you off. That is why it is important to see the difference.

Besides, dA is dA. Do you really wanna get reliable information there? Not saying it's a bad place, but you're on the internet bro. And the majority of good artists, writers, etc. know what the difference is.
Speaking of differences...
The difference between ignorance and stupidity is ignorance means you didn't know in the first place. Stupidity is when you know, and do it anyway.

Think about it.

On a happier note, wow, I'm surprised to see some old buddies here. Haven't seen you guys in ages, TFS, redwes, AB. XP Hope you guys have been well. Anyway, D-o's signing out. I hope you guys understand now. Have a fun RP!

Uhm, when they learn the difference they normally do. Sadly, a lot of people pick up the wrong term and use it wrongly. But that's been explained many times by many people who posted here.

A fan character, no matter how original, is not an original character if it was made for a specific franchise while an original character is one that you make for your own story.
Yes, they are both characters. But there is quite a difference. Is a triangle a square? They're both shapes, are they synonyms? No. But they are both shapes. FCs and OCs are both a form of character, yes. But they are not synonyms. I would type out an example of the difference, but both redwes and Dragon-outcast have covered that.

Yet the differences I've seen noted by arguments, not jsut here, but in general, ignore one key thing, humans. They tend to go for Sonic, Spyro, or other general animal-types that are often a species or species off-shoot created for said franchise.

What about the human ones? They can be both can they not? They can be tweeked just ever so slightly and suddenly work for a variety of franchises or their own unique story.


Oh and as for whether or not the majority of the forum knows the difference, Non-Spyro seems to referring to OCs as "CCs". I'd say not everyone knows what's what with these terms.

Oh trust me, I've seen plenty of human FCs. Like many Naruto ones for example, and InuYasha and even Danny Phantom.
The FCs have specific pasts which make then FCs. Most Naruto ones that I've seen are from Sasuke's clan (I know next to nothing about Naruto, so I can't use specifics on that I'm sorry). And InuYasha FCs have half demons or full demons looking for the jewel shards, and Danny Phantom FCs are usually half ghost like Danny.
And most people don't want them to be OCs, but they call them OCs because they don't know the difference. Because so many people mistake FCs for OCs, thinking it means "Own Character" or something (someone I've talked to before said that's what they thought OC meant.)
Like the link in my signature says, it IS possible to change your FC into an OC. I have a friend who made her FCs into OCs, however in certain RPs she puts them back to their FC roots.
My main character started off as an FC, but is now an OC because they have nothing to do with the franchise they originated from. Sometimes FCs can be a really good start for making a character, as everyone gets inspiration from somewhere.

As for the last paragraph, I never said everyone knows. Or else people would stop mistaking. Just because many people don't know the difference doesn't make it right. It just means they are uninformed, and learned from people who also never learned the difference.
Though I've never heard the term "CCs" before, does it stand for "Created Character"?

I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm not saying there aren't plenty out there. I'm merely stating that they can be a bit of a gray area that is often overlooked when people try to define the terms. Sure, the backstory is part of what is edited to conform. Though unless it is a very drastic edit that completely changes who the character is, the character is still themselves.

You, no. Though redwes did say that most did. CC would be "Canon Character" the characters such as Naruto, Inuyasha, Rainbow Dash, or Spyro. The characters originally from said franchise.

Yes, I agree that there are grey areas. But what I'm trying to get across is the copyright issue. Same thing shmame thing ain't gonna cut it. But understanding the issue of the problem is what is important.

And honestly, I doubt the people who so rashly replied back even read my post or even considered what I was trying to tell them. At least I made a distinction between them. It irks me when people skim what I've said and then reply with something that doesn't even answer reply back to my statement.

Sorry, was busy there... Too much nonsense and people who won't listen... Sorry, fan made fandoms aren't exactly official fandoms... If your character directly followed Pokémon then it would have.

Well...

My fakemon Marmera is non-canonically owned by Ash, as well as one of the only starters Ash fully evolved. He comes from my own fake region based on an Australia type continent where your choice of starters are of three different marsupials, a koala, an opossum, or a kangaroo. This region is infested with a crime organization called Team Division, run by a spoiled brat named Simon who hates Pokemon and wants them all destroyed, and an old man named Mavado who's too nice and gullible for his own good who ends up wanting to help Simon achieve his goal. Other Pokemon in this region include Dingbatr, a physical sweeper who uses a lot of stat-lowering moves but has great physical stats and speed, Tanucast who is an incredibly powerful but hard to train evo of Castform, as well as many other regions. My region even has its own gym leaders, nine in total including a Dark gym leader (Come on Gamefreak we've waited long enough give us one!).

In a way, my fakemon DO follow Pokemon. But if that's still not allowed, I got some Pokemon anthros I might consider using, if Pokemon Anthros count. If not, then... I guess... Good luck with the RP. Actually, I kind of joined cause I wanted to use an OC, but since I can only use FCs, I'm trying to work with that rule but I don't have many FCs besides Fakemon, Pokemon Anthros and Skylanders FCs.

Pretty much the same analogy. Plus, you don't see human FCs all that often because people usually make characters that appeal to them, which could be their favorite animal, a monster they like, a living object, a robot... But rarely a human. When making characters, I try to make characters that appeal to me. As far as things I find interesting, humans are just about the lowest tier in the tower.

Meanwhile, I'm the opposite; I prefer to use human characters and anything not a human is so far at the bottom that I would likely never consider using such a creature. Anything non-human truly doesn't appeal to me and I avoid any such RP.

This is not at all how I am. I'd much rather RP a human than say a wolf, a skylander, Pokemon, snake, etc. This is just my preference. Though, maybe say any mythical creature, like a dragon, gryphon, unicorn, pretty much anything besides a sphinx, I'd RP as. I've done some. A robot? Maybe, probably not....wait....I think I have an OC that's a biomechanical robot. I still heed to make his sheet....no matter, not important. Back on topic, of all the RPs I've been in and a lot that I've seen, MOST, notice how I didn't say all, of the characters I've seen are human, or half human. Humans are just easier to RP, mainly because they are what we are. And if you aren't a human........... Anyway, I know there are RPs specifically made to not have humans, but in RPs where they have the choice to be human, about 60% choose human. Though, I may be wrong. It's just what I've gathered in my short while of being a RPer.
