There are a lot of Hetalia OCs made for Indonesia, and I decided to make one too (cuz it me homeland duh), and I sorta wanna make it a bit different than other Indonesia OCs. Now here's my question, you did mentioned 'A big mistake I see OC creators do is make their OC look like the country it was colonized by.' and, I get that you're actually talking about their appearances (at least I hope), but, how about I made the 'personality' quite similar, and still follow the stereotype's 'appearance'. Like, example, my OC Indonesia, is emotionless, because I personally like imagining when Indonesia is colonized by Netherlands, she tried following this emotionless personality of her colonizer for a day just for fun, surprisingly, she's actually quite good at 'hiding her emotions' (since I also see Indonesia as a Dorodere) until it became a habit of her and still is (at least in my illustrations), will this make her a Mary Sue point higher?
I'm sorry this is a very long comment, and I'm pretty sure I made a grammar mistake, since duh it's not my first language.
Once again, I'm very sorry.

I've actually expected that the journal's author isn't active anymore as you said. Thanks for reading AND replying anyway. I felt grateful for so.

An OC is a mary-sue only if every character in the series falls in love with them, is overpowered, can solve all conflicts, etc. If you made a Mongolia and Himaryu decided to add one to the series, that wouldn't make yours a mary-sue at all. You can make any Hetalia OC you want so long as the country has actually existed on a map at some point

Hey, I have a question. Is personifying a national park ok? Becuase I have a Great Barrier Reef oc and I am very scared about putting it up.

I would say that's a bit iffy, but honestly, who am I to judge. Do whatever you want, but do your research. Have fun and don't be offensive. If anyone gives you crap for it, fuck 'em.

I'm not sure if this has been stated before, but Norway's curl represents the fjords.

So I just created my own country when making my Hetalia OC. This is okay, right? She is related to both China and Vietnam, having ancestors and roots from both of them, so basically, they are like her parents.

Well, Hetalia revolves around historical nations being personified. Not one country shown in the anime or manga has been on Himaryu has made up. I would keep the character as an OC that's not affiliated with Hetalia and is of Chinese and Vietnamese descendent. There's plenty of real nations, especially Asian ones, that aren't yet represented to make OCs for.

I'm thinking of doing an OC for stoke. Mainly because I haven't doe a hetalia oc before and I know stoke well because I'm from there. I've even checked if other people have done stoke before but from what I've seen they haven't.

Sounds great! If you do go through with it, I'd love to see the finished product and have them in the group.

I think it's a pretty good OC. I would flesh out her personality more and go in depth with the relationships. Other than that, I see no problems.

I'm trying to find a good country to make an OC out of, but pretty much all non-canon countries already have a lot of OCs. I'm going to make a Samoa OC despite this. Also, for anyone who needs help, try this website for country ideas- www.factmonster.com/countries.…
and use Wikipedia to look up demographics and history of your character. Good luck!

I wanna make an OC that had Inuit habitants but isn't related to Norway or Russia. It's hard because everyone thinks North Pole but I wanna do something different. Any suggestions?

If you don't want to make a country OC, Canada has plenty of Inuit inhabitants up north!

If it's for the Hetalia fandom, no. If it's not then go for it.

The OCs on the list are all taken and I don't want people to think I stole their OC, but is there a way I can make one?

inkstaineddove In reply to DracaKamala [2016-04-24 03:48:09 +0000 UTC]
You can make an OC that someone else has made before. Everyone's gonna take their own unique spin on the characters gender, sexuality, appearance, personality, etc., etc. For example, I've got a New York State OC. You know how many of those I've seen? I've seen a lot. But each one is different. As long as yours has differences from all the others (which it will), you'll be just fine.

Like make up a county? Might be a good idea. The name and location might be difficult.

Yeah its what I usually do. There are tons of fake country name generators which helps though. The location is hardest.

Yeah that's perfectly fine. As long as you have a good, solid reason for stylistic choices like that, it's fine.
