FAQ
Are the OC templates really free?
Yes. All three are free PDFs with no signup and no email. Download, print or fill them in on a tablet, as many times as you like for your own characters.
What is an OC character sheet?
An OC character sheet is a fill-in profile for an original character: name, age, looks, personality, what they want and fear, backstory, abilities and relationships. It keeps everything about your OC in one place.
What is an OC reference sheet?
A reference sheet shows your character from the front, side and back, with their colour palette, key expressions and details, so that you (or another artist) can draw them consistently.
Can I use these for any fandom?
Yes. They work for Murder Drones, Demon Slayer, The Amazing Digital Circus, Gacha, anime OCs or your own original world.
Can I share my filled-in sheet?
Please do. Post your finished OC anywhere. We only ask that you do not re-upload or sell the blank template itself.
