What's an OC?
I'm not familiar with the term. What is and OC?
Re: What's an OC?
"Original Character"
Any character that does not belong in a canon universe, almost always made up by someone who is not the original author, and is often seen in fanfics and role-playing.
"If I had a character in Mekkan, they'd be a pink lion who secretly is an ancient dragon and works for the Templar and is totally genderfluid!" is an example of the average OC across pretty much any fandom. Lots of over the top Mary-Sues that generally act as wish-fulfillment for their authors.
Though yes, there are moderate and well crafted OCs out there, don't hold your breath on finding them with any consistency.
Alternatively, OC could mean "oxycodone" or one of its brethren. Depends on the context really.
