Am I the only one?

Yes i ageee it needs to be a good OC or its nit something you can be really proad of.You need to lovw it like its appart of you

Yeah, if everyone had the option to be a pony, im pretty sure they would all want to be alicorns...

I think Alicorn OCs are fine, IF used in a Fanfiction/AU.
But I think people need to chose colors and styles wisely when making a OC, not randomly.

What's so bad about this OC? I think it looks kind of hilarious. With the mustache, and the bat wings, and the huge horn

No I get kinda mad so yah your not the only one who is mad

You're not the only one, but Alicorns are OK, if you give an explanation of just how they came to be alicorns. I'm not trying to make you feel bad with the picture.

Okay, I'm trying my hardest not to take the alicorn comment personally, because of my OC, Silversheen. Anyhoo, I think it's okay to have any kind of OC if there's a good story and personality behind them. If there's not, then I agree with you-what's the point? When I make my OCs, I try to just find a style that seems to work for them.

Well, bad OCs don't really piss me off. I just do a face-hoof when I come across a really bad one and move on. When making a good OC, I think it is very important not to wander too far from the original canon. I mean, when I came up with my OCs, I tried to make their appearance unique, but not so extravagant, so they wouldn't stick out from a crowd of background ponies so much. An original background story can also be helpful and I found that participating in some RPs helps to get in touch with your character and form its personality. I don't really like alicorn OCs, cos they often placed in the center of attention, possessing more magic and wisdom than Celestia herself, they are omnipotent, all-knowing, invincible and probably doing something that Equestria wouldn't survive without, but they usually lack a creative backstory and their personality is shallow and flat.

Of course I mean no offense to those who have alicorn OC's, there are numerous good examples as well. My favorite one is Faith, from the fanfic Faiths and Doubts, he's an excellent and unique character in a fantastic, slightly darker story.

I got a alicorn OC... ;D

yeah...i know what you mean...i just get a slight headache whenever i saw OC's with random color palettes that doesnt even go well with each other...oh! and about that alicorn thing...honestly i think of them equally,i mean Celestia is an alicorn but the ones saving the world were the mane 6,a group of unicorns,earth ponies and pegasi (before Twilicorn) but if those alicorn OC's have to show off their 'powerful' nature,i get really annoyed,but nonetheless i hesitantly made 3 alicorn OC's (not randomly designed)

Yeah, sometimes I can get pissed when I see and alicorn OC or an OC that has random colors put together that don't fit with eachother. I'll deal with alicorns if they have a backstory as to why. But if it just looks like a bad OC, no.

Karina, i agree, its ironic how my oc is an allicorn though he was originally going to be a pegasus but to some stuff he became an alicorn and if you make and alicorn oc, you must have a backstory, I did have those but then my old account got deleted and well all my fan fics of fire dash were erased :( anyway i agree

I hiiiiiighly suggest we just follow this guide for making OCs. I use it whenever I make a new OC, and others on DA like them a lot.


Like this guide says, alicorns should only be royalty. And from another land other then Equestria. And if it isn't, then it's basically a Mary-Sue. They should also have a really reasonable and developed backstory and a good personality as well. And I hate when people add accessories to their OC unless it's part of their talent or whatever (i.e. rollerskates if their special talent is rollerskating).
