OC Template for Original Characters

A strong OC starts with a clear character profile. Use this template to turn loose ideas into a usable original character sheet.

An OC template is a fixed list of fields that describe an original character so the design stays consistent. The one on OCMakerLab has ten: name, species, role, personality, motivation, flaw, appearance, backstory, abilities and a portrait prompt, and you can fill it in automatically from a one-sentence idea without signing in.

Write your OC's character sheet

Describe the idea in a sentence and get a name, species and role, personality, motivation, flaw, appearance, backstory, three abilities and an image-ready portrait prompt. No sign-in needed.

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.
