What to include in an OC template
A useful OC template should capture the details you will reuse later: identity, appearance, personality, backstory, relationships, strengths, flaws, and visual notes.
- Name, age, species, pronouns, and role
- Face, hair, outfit, scars, colors, and body language
- Core motivation, fear, weakness, and conflict
- Abilities, limits, relationships, and story hooks
Use the template before making art
Writing the character first gives you better image prompts. Instead of asking for a vague warrior or student, you can describe a person with motives, style, flaws, and context.
