Characters more well-liked than you expected?

Posted 5 years, 10 months ago (Edited 5 years, 5 months ago) by hedgemaze

@Judas-la-carotte's thread about underrated characters made me think about the opposite! I'm not going to use the word "overrated" because I certainly don't mean that any OCs deserve less love, but do you have any characters whom you're surprised get more attention than you expected they would, among your characters?

Maybe people pick them more often in forum games or art trades than other characters, they have more faves than you expected, or they're just the ones your friends have gravitated towards for whatever reason-- but maybe they aren't among your own favorites, or they're just not the OCs you expected would be popular.

And has that character's popularity inspired you to use or develop them more, or give them a bigger role in whatever story or project they may be in?

There are no particular rules for this thread; just be nice and don't try to make people feel bad about their taste or anything like that.

TOTALLY HAS TO BE LUKE

ppl in the most f*ckable oc thread like to pick him from time to time and im like bro??? brooo???? bitch is a nasty boi who does not deserve love. 

Sensation Vinqou

This boyo, because he’s so heckling edgy I don’t understand what the appeal is

UFT [Lineheart] 🎀 KINGS

Maybe it's because people like getting stepped on by Disney mean girls but frankly I was p surprised by the amount of people that like Wed. She's not someone IRL any would associate with in the slightest and I often find it hard to do things with her since she's just so ... her and a menace to society and someone who puts people down simply because she can and is generally awful for her own entertainment.

But hey if people want her to crush their souls She's Here For You.

          Although while Panteleyev does have a dramatic backstory (included a more 'overboard' version of self-harm attempt), the fact that he got the most faves out of all OCs in my Artificial Existence plot truly surprises me. He's normally more of a comical sidecharacter in the plot but... what can I say? I even find that he's growing on me more than I originally expected, too... but same goes with dozen of other OCs in the same plot once I gave them concrete personality and story within the main plot.

Well not here, but elsewhere this Moo got a lot of love, and that was just with the original reference image. I'm glad, moos are good.

Allie McLaughlin mithrou

  i literally. made her to be a nondescript side character and haven't changed her design since yet some o  f y'all are still like "yes that's my girl" and i absolutely love it so much (this isn't in terms of fav count it's just a thing)


and now she's a main character

 KANAYE NYAHILISM

Kanaye was literally designed to be the assholiest of assholes when it came to my OCs. Unfortunately, everyone ended up loving him. It's something I'll never understand

(octopop) mist Lilina

Mist, for sure.

Shortly after uploading her, she got 4 faves in just a few minutes, and I'm quite surprised considering that she's my most recent character overall.

 YUU eussless

This boy! He was created randomly because i got myo slot and for meme purpose but somehow well received by many ;; o ;;
