So recently in the attempt of finishing off the latest chapter of one of my series I came down with a serious writing funk and potential dose of the dreaded Writer's Block, which was extremely un-fun. One of the things I used to get by it was an exercise in listing all of my OCs that I've ever created, whether they've been published to dA or not or whether they ever will be published to dA or not. And then I uploaded said list, because I felt it worth sharing. I don't know why, I just did. Just saying: Some of these names are prospective, and may be changed when appearing in an actual story. Some characters have been put together in a group where individuals haven't been differentiated from each other enough yet. Also, I apologise for some very similar names, and some where I hadn't realised that I had outright used the same one twice. The high number of Cam/Camerons is due to 1) in-universe cloning and 2) mentally adding extra characterisation to faceless RPG heroes that were named

Two things really took me by surprise when I did that list of all my OCs at the start of the year: one, I kept updating it rather than leaving it as-is, and two, other people did versions of their own. Wow! A lot of them, though, were organised by series rather than in a big alphabetical list like mine. Personally I quite like the big alphabetical list, so that’s the version I will likely keep updating, but I thought it was really interesting to do my own version with them all by series as well. Besides, it helps give you an idea of who these names all are, especially since there are so many of them! Some versions of this, like Nobody’ version, use nifty formatting tricks with italics and underlining to show which characters were more important than others. I’ve gone for a much simpler system – the closer you are to the top, the more important you are. Bear in mind with this, though, the ‘central’ characters of each series will generally include the first four or five – you may get
