Thanks for the Favorites Icon 3D Yasuko Takasu (Fangirling) [V1]
You're welcome!! <3 <3 <3
Ahhh sorry, response was so late that I decided it'd be easier to just comment here.

Draw-the-squad bases are hilarious, I've got so many saved XD including the ones that look like standard anime bases but still work like draw the squad bases.

I'm pretty lenient when it comes to OP characters because I know that being ridiculously overpowered is a given in pretty much every established fandom ever, as well as in a lot of original universes. My only exception is really for "Mr and Mrs Fixit" OCs which define Mary Sue as a whole, since they can pull the solution out of their buttcracks (sometimes literally) and nobody ever gets mad at them because hey, problem solved. As long as you don't do that, I could really care less if a character is ageless, can't die by earth-realm methods, or has the ability to devour literally everything, including eventually themselves.

Just out of curiosity, what fandoms and universe-types do you generally roleplay, or have no problem trying to roleplay?

It’s ok, I don’t mind!

Same! I also have a lot of open collabs saved in my favorites too XD I need to try some of them for sure!

Yeah. I don’t normally look at people characters stats (usually just abilities if I look at anything like that), I prefer to look at the designs. I find it entertaining to look through and see what a common theme is between their characters (or if there is even one!). For example, 5 out of 12 of my Naruto ocs have blonde/white/silver hair. It’s just something I really like haha XD

But I do try to make my characters flawed in several ways and I try to make their stats to where they’re really good at one thing, decent at others, and then absolutely horrible at a couple. I like flaws haha but idc if people have unflawed characters and I’m not a fan of sad character backstories.

I have never roleplayed. Ever. I just have never had the opportunity and I don’t think it’d be something for me. I just imagine what my characters are going through and sketch it. But I’m a big fan of Naruto but I also have OC’s for Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and a few that are just random and have no fandom attached. 

Arrow right  I have several OCs who share a similar hairstyle to Xander over there in my icon and have a habit of giving characters hoodies or leather jackets if that counts. I just love drawing that hair, so I've done it repeatedly. I've also got a lot who just are Xander except for possessing different powers and abilities per universe, due to his frequent use as a placeholder character until I have enough knowledge to put together a real one.

I think that's what most people see when they think of a balanced skill set for a character, and my opinion is that three obvious flaws is a happy medium. One flaw is never enough, two feels like a compensation, and four starts to get ridiculous with numbers. I have an old character (for pokemon) named Natalie (who I stopped using because she was kinda ruined for me ^^;) who has three clear problems: She has confidence issues, she comes across as unintentionally rude sometimes, and she's also quite naive. I feel like I might remove her from existence and only use her brother, since he's currently untarnished. His flaws include not being able to cook full meals without burning them (despite being a great baker), he is naturally very pale (burns easily), and he loses track of time if he sits idle for too long.

I also feel like after a certain age (when involving characters that live longer than humans) a character's main flaw should be unpredictability, since they've lived long enough that if they don't do something to amuse themselves, they'll go nuts.

I mean, you never know unless you try. There's lots of RP groups out there, for both fandom and original-universe OCs, as well as individual people who are willing to give it a shot too. Hell, I could organize an RP if you're willing to see if it works out for you or not. I'll admit I don't have OCs for those fandoms (or "active" ones in the case of Naruto) and I'm not really sure how to execute an RP in them. The things I've been RPing are fairly different in more than one way, and I've got a really weird writing style for that.
I think that's fine though. The only person it matters in regards to your characters is you. I did sketch up a character that looks a lot like my character Nozomi Hanazawa New Design. She's different-ish looks wise and has different abilities. But there are some similarities haha.

Yeah, one flaw never feels like enough. Ah I'm sorry a character of yours was ruined for you. I have this strange...love for my characters XD hence why I keep most of them. 
Those sound like good flaws, they definitely add dimension to the characters. 
I do have two characters in my gallery that I made when I was 12 (my first OCs lol) they're Nobuyuki and Mura. I've really lost my love for Nobuyuki and might retire her, though I don't think I could sell her off. She was my first original character. 

Ah I think I'm ok. I'm not a great at putting my creativity into words T_T; haha
I just don't think I'd be a good person to RP with.
