Show All ... Hide All ...

Do you ask yourself, “How good is my OC?” This quiz rates your original character based on personality, backstory, and design.

How Good Is Your Original Character?

Your OC’s quality depends on design, motive, and plot. In other words, your character is as good as the look, personality, and story allow it to be.

Good OC Bad OC
Has relatable struggles. Is flawless.
Subverts the expectations. Is predictable.
Has clear motives. Lacks motivation.
Develops through the story. Remains the same.
Overcomes obstacles. Gives up against obstacles.

 

OC is an abbreviation for the original character, a fictional personality created by a writer, artist, or fan.

What to Consider When Rating Your OC?

Character design aside, there are four factors that determine how good an OC is: desire, need, weakness, and enemy.

Desire

An external motivation, “desire,” is what the character craves. But it’s not necessarily what they need to become a better person or overcome obstacles.

Need

An internal motive, or need is what the character requires to develop and overcome the struggle(s).

Having no needs makes an OC flawless. And a flawless OC doesn’t develop.

Weakness.

A perfect OC is like a glass wall—there’s no way to climb and explore what’s beyond it. Weakness is what makes a character relatable while magnifying its struggles.

Enemy

Your OC is as good as its enemy—the villain, ideology, or concept that it opposes. An enemy or antagonist is often the primary motive for the protagonist to go on a journey and develop into a better person.

What is the OC Quiz?

The original character quiz, otherwise known as the OC Quiz, is a set of 20 questions to rate your characters. It analyzes the design, personality, and story to determine how good your creation is.

Things that the OC Quiz reveals:

Is your character likable?

With the current test, you get to know whether the audience would enjoy your character.

Exposing the likability of your character is the quiz’s priority because most amateur OCs suffer from unlikability.

Character designers might make their designs so “original” that no reader/viewer can relate to them.

What would make it better?

You’re asking yourself, “How good is my OC?” But there are better questions to ask. For example, how can I better my OC? The quiz suggests some expert tips on that after analyzing your character.

What does your OC say about you?

Your creations carry pieces of you. That is why the OC Quiz offers a brief (but profound) personality breakdown. It reveals what type of person you are based on the character you’ve written or drawn.

What Is Your OC’s Rate on a Scale of 0 to 100?

The original character test grades your creations on a scale of zero to one hundred. The higher the score, the better the OC.

This is the only tool that would professionally rate fan-made characters.
