My first-and-current OC(related to my current username) didn't really start as 2edgy4u, but rather 2cool4u. Crazy powerful and could do just about anything and even mained a katana, and he was just [i]too cool[/i] to be inconvenienced by anything. Thankfully, over the years, I've just made him a carefree half-demon(shut up I couldn't work out EVERY cliche without just restarting >.>) nomad who happens to like practicing various forms of martial arts with some lightning magic mixed in. Currently he mains a longsword that can turn into other weapon types(spears, halberds, scimitars, etc.) I've yet to actually use him in any roleplays here as he doesn't really fit any settings(to be fair he started as my character in an IM rp I did with some internet friends, and the world was pretty much whatever the fuck we wanted it to be)

Characters can start cringy, but with careful tweaking here and there, you can make a character a multidimensional entity that other people like interacting with. Don't just toss characters aside, because there's so much potential.
