Fan-Made characters, they are everywhere...

This page is going to explain you these things:
 * What are Fan-Made Characters?
 * Why are there Fan-Made Characters?
 * Tips for a good character.

What are Fan-Made characters?
Fan-Made Characters are characters from a anime/game/manga/movie/book who actually don't exist, and aren't created by the creators of the anime/game/manga/movie/book. They are created by people who draw a character, and give it details (Most of all doesn't have any details about the character).

If you have a character who has a story, then you have to follow that story. If you have a character who doesn't have a story, then you have to create a story by yourself for your character. For example, you have a character.. Let's say.. a Saiyan of Dragon Ball Z. Then you can search for a family. If your character is able to turn Super Saiyan, then you have to search for a Saiyan family. If your character isn't able to turn Super Saiyan, then you can search for a Saiyan who isn't together with a another Saiyan. If the creator says "It is the daughter/son of Goku" then you should search for an Goku who wants you to be his child.

Why are there Fan-Made characters?
People who want to Roleplay as a original character can't Roleplay with a real character. That isn't original. So they are looking for a photo of a character, and when they have found one, they are going to use that one for letting people know that their character looks like the picture.

Tips for a good character
