. . . fan-characters.

You know, it makes me wonder how high of an intelligence some people have.

Characters like so, so and so are VERY original. I have no problems with these types of characters.

I have problems with characters such as Palette-Swaps (A different color of a popular character, can also be known as recolors), Mostly Sonic Palette swaps. Sonic is INCREDIBLY generic. Sonic is the face of almost EVERY Sonic-based fan character out there. Don't get me wrong, there are some LOGICAL recolors. I'm guilty fore re-coloring here too, but at least MY characters have personalities, and this brings me into the next subject. ..

I can't tell you how MANY times I see a character that possess powerful abilities, nearly NO weaknesses, over-the-top personalities (Such as characters being 'VERY cool!'), and just plain OUTRAGEOUS back stories. Also, these types of characters seem to be friends with everyone in the Sonic Universe, excluding the antagonists. What IS THE POINT if your character is friends with Sonic? Does he have to be? Take my character for instance, he dislikes Sonic. But is friends with people have have near personalities to him. Imagine your character in real life? Do you like these types of people? Would he be friends with real-life examples of Sonic Characters? Think about your answer. ..

Is creativity dead or what?
