Rate The Character Above You V.7 (New rule Pg 224)

7/10
i like the concept you're going for, the design is definitely interesting with the combination of aspects going on, that's for sure! i feel like the hearts and roses doesn't really 'match' the natural design? are the hearts tattoos too or part of the natural design? : o i think i'd like it a little better without the hearts because i'd be able to focus more on how the roses compliment the design and the personality of the character. not really a fan of yellow eyes on any design ever so not really fond of the colour combination between the black n yellow! i'd love to know more about them and why they have the tattoo though!

October?
all by me!

i am in love with their design! the spotting on their stomach isn't my favorite, but i think that they're really phenomenal and a well put together character!! 9/10

Seeing as I have played TF2 since 2010, figured this would be a good character for me to rate.

6/10 - Sorry for generally low rating, but personally, I'm not a fan of 10th class OCs. Call me old schooled but I like my TF2 OCs like I like my loadouts...stock. That's just a personal opinion, however! The concept is nice, art and design are aesthetically pleasing, and if it was in a game, I would probably want to play them. Gives me heavy necromancer vibes...something that I could potentially see in a Diablo type game. Due to it's time heavy looks (ie; plague doctor mask) I can't help but feel they're outta place for TF2s time frame, which is why I say Diablo. Again, that is just me being old fashioned.

Overall, concept/art are great but I can't help but let my thick-headedness regarding stock/vanilla game OCs take the reins. I would be interested in reading about what you had in mind as far as buffs/debuffs go for them.

His name is Borger or any silly spelling/saying of the name Burger. He is name of burger parts with his tail being a french fry. He does not nice things to people! His burgers are the best! Try them! There's nothing suspicious about them! You will like them!

Art is by yours truly!

10/10 ;; This man,,, the image of perfection. This is what the ideal body looks like, fellas. Like, you make the "object" body parts work so well dude and he just. He seems like such a nice guy. Surely he can do no wrong. What a lovely man. The blood-stained ketchup-stained napkin bowtie is such a nice touch. Makes him look like a dapper young fellow.

Joshua? He's a chaotic dude who used to serve under the gods as a reaper (pretty self-explanatory). However, as time went on he started to really resent them and eventually flees so that he can do What He Wants. Not necessarily a bad guy, but he's got an odd sense of morals so definitely don't trust him. He also left behind his girlfriend when he left and now she kind of wants to kill him for breaking her heart. That's all I got on him for now.

inb4 the red on his tail is too bright

i love the concept a lot, but i feel like the colors don't fit well together. the overall design is very nice and pleasing, but the pink accents just aren't my type. i do like the skull mask though!

this is my kalon, fedya
he's a k-9 cop who's grumpy and stoic. his little brother died on christmas, traumatizing him and making him hate the holidays with a burning passion. his story is still a wip, but i love him!!

10|10 this guy is a dream character and i have hoped to get the opportunity to rate him for quite the while now , adalwulf is great!!

He has such a simple design but manages to be super easily recognisable anyway, and that's always a sign of a really good design to me? Easy to draw, easy to remember, still has something iconic about it, in his case the shades and uniform, wich is hella neatly designed, i like the modern look, mostly see medieval-esque/inspired uniforms on ocs? The colors are soft and easy on the eye and fit with about any item in style/color wich is grear since the boi has a design that is carried a lot by his snazzy outfit and i personally dont like eyecatching accesoires on already super wild designs, he does it perfectly in my opinion. The hair fits him super well and i love how the white throat and hands keep the design from ending up TOO simple/bland.love his eye color.and the chest spot.

Concept-wise he's an absolute delight, smug asswaffles are my favorite type of character , for some reason i always fall in love with the fictional people id probably beat up/lock into the classroom closet irl? :"D the whole "hates himself but is way too egoistic to be mean to himself, so he's gotta be mean to everyone else instead to let it out"-thing is really believable, and you handle this type of character really really well, somehow showing how harmful/dangerous yet actually pathetic these types of people are while still managing to keep him fun and lovable, even if its gonna be "love to hate him" for some.the amount of smugness he radiates is higher than the empire state building and im here for it. I personally love him, that's my type of char right here and I'd love to see him in a graphic novel or really wellmade (adult) cartoon?

Also, i feel him, groundbeef can perish.



Last time for seraph/ sera for short?
hes just a really fat little munchkin cat shapeshifter (so,the cat form is the "true form" but he can turn himself into other species,that look just like an xy-version of himself, keeping the colors and all, as well as perfectly copy existing people. think of a freestyle version of a nekomata/bakeneko?) who goes on an adventure with his siblings.Its not really planned out or sth but theres a rough concept. Like, there's some form of curse over his homeland, and an ancient prophecy told of a chosen one who would be able to break it one day,by passing some fairytale-type sort of test or acquire a certain object or such.So people go out to search for that chosen one. however, its been decades now without any trace , and one night, sera and his siblings sit on their campfire and tell ghost stories n such and suddenly he gets the thought that maybe, just maybe , this whole "chosen one"-business is simply a scam made up by the bad guys, to make the people believe they have only one chance, and also keep searching the predestined forever,so the curse would never be broken. while for real, anyone could do it if they dare,every random guy. Its just like a joke/funny conspiracy theory first, sera is the local conspiracy nut in general,but they all keep thinking about it, and the next day they decide that heck it, they really gonna give it a try, just ...to be sure. Naturally nobody believes them but they're right btw.

the red scarf is his usual "outfit", but the whole thing takes place in a snowy mountain setting so there's some optional,warmer clothes too on his ref -if this is somehow against the rules, simply just rathe the version with the red scarf.

Ok,, I’m IN LOVE with this guy!! I’m a sucker for cat ocs and he’s just adorable. I really like his color palette... it’s very pleasing to the eye and all fits well together. The red scarf and sweater stands out in a good way,, and gives well with the color palette. All in all,, very cute character! He also has a really neat backstory that I’m intrigued by



Audrey? She doesn’t really have a backstory,, she’s mostly a drawing character. Base by me, art by softeapaws on Instagram

i love him sometimes super nice and good ocs are boring but i love drake sm...
i took points off because i don't like cyclops characters, oof. it's not a bad design, but it's not my style. green isn't a super common color so i like that! i also love simple designs, so that gets a bonus point.

(art and design by me)

benny is just a weird old man. he doesn't have any family or many friends. he owns an old motel that's run-down and doesnt get many visitors, but it is full of ghosts. he keeps them company as long as they don't bother guests. occasionally he will go out with friends, but he mostly keeps to himself. however, he's not sad. his closest friends are a cryptozoologist and a ghost puppy who he acts as a sort of father too. since he lost his daughter, he needs the ghost puppy almost as much as it needs him.

7/10 - i love his personality so much! his backstory is cute and lends itself to many situations. the simplicity of it would make him a great character in a comic or something like that :) as for his design, its alright in my opinion! i do love that color brown used for his main body and the cream accents are nice, but to me they feel a little randomly placed besides the ones of the extremities? i think drawing that green on his color or the blue of his eyes into the design more would be really pleasing to the eye! also, if he's an old dog, maybe he could show his age a little more!! maybe like a little tramp-style mustache hehe, its little things that add more to a character :> overall though i really like him! he's a cute simple little guy with his ghostie friends :D

holliday? she's a savannah cat and very, VERY dramatic! she likes to be the center of attention and, well, why wouldn't she be? in her opinion, she's just too cute not to have the attention on her. art and design by me :>

[zelos]

I literally don't have any complaints about this lady, 10/10! I'm a sucker for mostly natural designs that still have a unique twist to them, and you caught the essence of a savannah cat very well. I LOVE the way the spots fade to stripey-er markings on her legs and tail, and the fact that you didn't make her base coat all one colour (i.e. just one shade of tan) is even better. Her darker markings aren't black/dark grey either, but a dark brown, which really ties the whole palette together. The collar is perfect addition, and without it I think she'd be a bit bland. Making it match the colour of her eyes was also a very wise decision. Also it took me a minute to notice the scar(?) above her eye but it adds so much character!

How about this lady? I don't have too much on her yet story-wise but I'm working on that! She's sort of in a poly relationship in that she has a husband that she sees in the fall and a wife that she sees during the rest of the year. She's a very gentle and benevolent being that owns a bamboo garden that she tends to. The collar probably ties her to an oppressive past but I haven't figured out yet what that means. The very light blue markings on her body can also glow, as seen here. I would appreciate help deciding between these names: Menhit, Elysia, or Meliora.
