User blog comment:Sunny the Hedgehog/How to create an Original Character/@comment-1669199-20100203014903

Maybe so, but I'm trying to make a point. To make my long statement short, you can't expect people to meet up to your expectations just because you've written a step-by-step instruction on how to make an original character. Even if people create characters who are recolors of Sonic, in some cases, they themselves view thos characters as something original, not because of appearance, ability similarity, or even trivial information, but how the characters themselves symbolize their inner selves. A character of any kind kind be a reflection to the creator of his/her imagination, not a reflection of a set of pre-written skills and laws that he/she should follow. No one can expect anyone to follow what they say just because "This character contradicts SEGA's ideas", or "This character is unoriginal because he looks likt this character, and he surpasses him/her in certain (Or all) attributes, therefore making this character unfair and too powerful". Sunny, you can't expect people to do what you want just because you don't agree with some of their ideas. And who knows? Maybe one day SEGA will decide to take Sonic's title away from him and create a character that is faster than him. You never know. Here is what I do if I find myself frustrated with someone who has made an idea for a chracter that I find stupid, godmod-like, and unoriginal: I brush them off and ignore them because those characters have absolutely nothing to do with me, and they have not interacted with me or any of my characters in anyway. If they don't interact with me, then I simply ignore them, and go on with my business, knowing that I at least can come up with ideas that I think are better thanm this person's. It's a win-win situation as long as I keep my complaints to myself. Besides, why are you worried about what other people are doing with their characters? You're not getting yourself involved in RPs anymore and, as far as I can tell, you're not doing any short RPs that involve battles OR those Godmod characters at all. So why complain about characters that have absolutely nothing to do with you? I'm sorry if this offends you in anyway, I'm just curious.
