User blog:Mr. Bambu/The Overpowered Crisis

Alright, let's just hit the nail on the head with this weird and opinionated blog. Is it bigoted? Probably. Is it wrong? Well... honestly I don't think so. I know, back to the bigoted thing, but... give me a chance to explain here.

I believe people create HUGE amounts of overpowered OCs just for the sake of saying they have an OC stronger than yours. For example. Seok Gan is my OC. He is a wall-to-small-building tiered character- pretty basic, yeah? He's way down there, weak as fuck compared to characters (these are the MORE COMMON characters mind you) capable of casually flicking a planet out of existance... wait... what?

How did it come to the point on THIS wiki where Tier 7-2 are the first to pop up as common suggestions instead of Tier 9 and 8? How is every character a walking nuclear bomb? Well. I'll give my two cents on this, too.

People just get an OC, right, and let's just say they probably haven't thought much on idea and basis beyond "They should be super powerful badasses while also contained in a human form, probably a teenager or resembling one. Maybe slap some big boobs on there." and that's it, right? Sounds like a lot of anime, to be honest, but moving on. But then... what? People have told themselves that a good OC can take down any other character so they have to be powerful as fuck (most of them tend to be gods nowadays).

That... is the single worst thing I've ever heard. Ever. A battle wiki populated entirely by city-wrecking characters who all have some basic stereotype with them (besides every single one of them looking like an anime character, so I'm pinning these delusions on anime. Fuck you, Dragon Ball. I've hated you for an eternity anyways). This wiki shouldn't promote overpowering your characters. It should promote original ideas. That's half of the character. "Original". Fan characters? Fine, whatever, adjust it to the universe. You want to make the fifteenth Frieza clone, feel free. But if you're making an OC and just basing everything off of your misconceptions founded in OP universes then... that's uncreative, simple as that.

I doubt I'll find any fights here seeing as how 99% of my characters do not casually rip cities apart or, at least, not with their bare hands or any psychic power (politics yay).

I challenge you readers to make a character with moderation. A character with the best back story you can imagine for a pretty low tiered guy (let's say 7-C and below). Color me intrigued to see if it can be done. I know, most of you will say "oh, fuck u mate, you just want your characters to feel strong". Well, that's not true. I'd rather my characters die in a good fight rather than stoop to overpowering them so they can win in a crappy one.

Cheers lads. This is what my boredom does to me.
