original character Is it right to have multiple OCs if you cant decide?

Is it right to have multiple OCs if you cant decide which to use?

[Rarity Gemstones 215]

It's a fairly common conundrum among creators, so I would place my money on "yes".

[Xe__or 4,377]

Well of course it's not wrong to have multiple OC's; you could use all of them if you want .

Huh? I say it's your right to have as many OCs as you want! There is no law against it. Go wild!

[SharpWit 2,762]

I have this one for my profile pic that's strictly me, but there's plenty of others I'll be but they are seperate characters.

[ExplosionMare 18,096]

Yeah, I have plenty of OCs. Some are for me and some are for other people. Just pick one that represents you the most for your profile. You don’t have to represent all of them or get rid of all of them for it. Your OC needs their friends too

Of course it is. You can't go wrong with multiple characters right? 

[Latecomer 440]

This question implies a model that I can't quite get my head around in the first place, even though I've encountered it in roleplaying spaces before. By "OC", are you talikng about something like a "ponysona"?

[MangoFoalix 25,040]

I think it's fine. Who cares if someone ridicules you for having multiple OCs.

[TicTacKitKat 13]

Well me and my army of ocs sure hope it is...

[ShadOBabe 19,013]

Why would it be wrong? I have a stupid, crazy amount of OCs. Or are you talking about like, a Ponysona? Because I only have one Sona.

An OC is just any kind of character you create yourself.

A Sona is an OC that is supposed to be a representation of yourself.

So basically, all Sonas are OCs, but not all OCs are Sonas.

The ahuizotl in my avatar is my Sona. My Zotlsona if you will. She is just a cartoon version of me. But I have dozens and dozens of OCs that are not supposed to be me.

But even if you wanted to make multiple Sonas, there’s nothing wrong with that. It might confuse a couple people, but it’s nothing you can’t just explain to them.

[Steve Piranha 29,449]

Picture stories like Fallout Equestria if there was such rule against multiple  OCs  . Go wild, make whatever number you’d like. You are not obligated to have a central OC either. Just make them and use to whatever use you see fit

Of course it is!

I have six OCs, and I love every single one of them. 

[Veil 260]

I'm pretty sure most people have multiple oc's. They just choose one to be their ponysona which is a bit different.

[Ittoni 538]

I have the same conundrum but that's part of why i choose changeling .

aside from that, yeah like, why not.

[Landi 600]

Yeah, I have tons of ocs. Now only one of them is my ponysona and the rest are other ocs that I have created. For the most part I have created them to interact with each other and my ponysona. It is just really fun to create them and imagine stories and adventures involving them. So yeah, It is totally fine to have many ocs.

[EpicEnergy 23,228]

I see nothing wrong with it, so why not? 

[Megas 27,835]

Or you can be like me and have none

[Jesse Terrence 2,969]

Totally. An OC isn't necessarily your avatar or ponysona. More so if you're writing fanfiction or making your own set of characters for comics/art/animation/games.

[Stardust 641]

Its fine to have as many ocs as you want really even if they are like an oc to represent yourself (like a ponysona). Only thing is it getting confusing for others but nah. Some people have one main and some alts and some stick to one. But many is cool. Even having none is fine.

[Ocean Breeze 5,128]

Uhhh, yeah it's totally fine! I uh... have multiple myself because I can't decide on who should be my Ponysona.

Right now it's Lightning. uwu

OC stands for Original Character. It doesn't mean "One Time Character" or "Pony Character", so the rules are very free to interpret any way you like!

 

I actually use "OC" instad of the more common but older Ponysona, since OC was the main word that Bronies called their ponies (Bronies didn't like the older generations, so they had to use unique and new words to describe already existing things)

[ExplosionMare 18,096]

I actually developed and grew to like one of my OCs better than the one in my avatar. The only reason that one is never in my avatar is because it’s a male and my username has “mare” in it.
