What kind of OC's do some of you make when in an RPG?, Just curious. It's more like what role do some of your OC's t Options

I'm just a bit curious, considering I'm kind of a writer. I've been in some RPG's and I was just wondering what type of OC's do some of you guys make? Mine...tend to usually take more on the role of a messenger and there are also times in which I play as a character that I've made, but most of the time, most of the roles I've made so far is just mainly the messenger role.

I like to make my OCs all over the place if at all possible. I tend not to use characters who take on a primarily passive role in the story. In any case, as Batou said, it's too easy to become too attached to an OC thus giving him special favors and destroying the story in the process.

These pretty much represent the spectrum in which I create (these were the intended characteristics; it's likely they changed during the coures of the RP):
Amakusa no Yuusha-tachi
Itxaro (RP version only) - fiery, active, and rebellious
Mika - quiet, mysterious, yet somewhat playful
Hanako (story version only) - kind, willing to help anyone, but somewhat airheaded

Mystic Mana Gems
Astartu - fun, outgoing, and often hyper.
Suria (so memorable, and yet his name makes no impression on me - in other words, I forgot it) - weird and quirky, a wannabe mirror of his "sister."
Ereshkigal - dark and calculating, a do-it-all-herself person. When addressed, her personality mirrors that of the person with whom she is speaking.

Others
Kyouka - hypocritical "say one thing but do another" type; quiet and keeps to herself, speaking to others mostly when it is about matters of peace, and yet she solves things with emotionless violence.
Iris Sitennouzi - sometimes quiet, sometimes loud. Tomboyish and poetic.
Mika, I think was her name - depressed, with a bleak outlook on life
Rika - kind of gangster like, but not; high tolerance to pain.

With the exception of Iris (because that particular RP went nowhere), I liked all of the ones that fell under "Others," with Kyouka being one of my favorites.
