Story
Pair a power with a limitation
Create story choices by making strengths come with a cost.
· Sonic OC Maker editorial team
Strength alone is not a story
A character who always succeeds leaves little room for decisions. Describe what their ability helps them do and what makes using it difficult.
Keep the limitation meaningful
A fast courier might get lost on unfamiliar routes or rush through important details. A limitation should affect a real scene, not just appear in a profile.
Avoid official-lore claims
Your character abilities and rules belong to your fan-created setting. Explain them as creative choices rather than new facts about the official universe.
