Places for your Original Characters (OC's)

[jadetine]

Howdy friends!

I'm not sure if this list already exists or if it's up to date; I also couldn't think of a place where this is more relevant, so I decided to start a running list of where you can showcase / trade art for / role play / etc. your original characters (OC's). Just a fun list of places for your OC.

Some of these are pretty popular, but I've stumbled upon a few that have piqued my interest, and have yet to try them myself.

Name	Category	Link	Comments
RefSheet.net	Character Showcase / Storage	Refsheet.net: Your Characters, Organized. Easily create and share reference sheets and art galleries for all your characters; perfect for artists, world builders, and role players. refsheet.net

Please feel free to recommend other cool places for OC stuff; I will be happy to add it to this top post!

Recommend toyhou.se and unvale! I love the profile customization toyhouse has, and unvale has a wonderful community.

If anyone needs an invite code to toyhouse, I'd love to provide one. I have quite a few.

I'm also offering up the website refsheet.net, I have an account but don't use it much, and it's pretty barebones, but it exists. They're lacking funding rn though so idk if it'll be around much longer...

Edit: I'm also part of a discord called fruitl00pz that's just a discord but it's got art channels, OC show off, and you can even sell/trade OC designs there. I'm not super active in it but there's a big community there. I don't think I can generate an invite link but if I can find the invite I used to get to the server, I'll add it

It is still a work in progress, but here is my Toyhou.se ^^ - https://toyhou.se/Shawna1998

And here's a collection of my OC portraits, I have been commissioning my friend Ashton to draw them, since I am not much of an artist ^^ https://www.deviantart.com/shawna0609/favourites/95910456/persona-and-ocs

I may (or may not) make a thing on Google Docs with advanced profile info about my OCs. ^^

Here's my Toyhou.se: https://toyhou.se/Yanrima

For the most part, I only put fully original OC's that aren't part of any fandom there. And I usually put the OC info at Toyhou.se once I'm completely satisfied with the character I made.

My OC's usually take some conceptualization before finalizing to be honest. Sometimes, I struggle with naming my OC's .
