Oh. Dear. Lord.

Dude if you want to make one go for it!! Honestly, it’s your choice. I seen a couple of incredibly well done made-up country OCs in my time, it’s just a shame the bad vastly out number the good.

Technically, yes. 

Though, currently I have so much work (yay A levels) I bearly have time to remember what my name is lmao 

I’m going to say officially now we’re on semi-hiatus. I’m most likely to review stuff sent into the inbox as soon as I have time. Half term starts the week after next so hopefully I can get some stuff done then!

Personally, I would try and incorporate a surname from their origin at least in some way, even if it ended up double barrelling the surname, especially with counties with very strong identities, like Cornwall and Yorkshire. 

Hey guys, look who it is, that’s right, it’s your favourite person who has been to busy to do OC reviews because I have mocks on thurday and GCSEs start in march. 

However, here comes an OC sent in by a loyal reader of our blog, so thank you!! Let’s get to it. 

You make a valid point, and one that I thought of at the time of writing my answer to the question in question. 

But at the same time, if you want your OC to be accepted and well liked, I’d stay far away from the internet as a hetalia OC. You’re likely to get a lot of flack for it otherwise. 

Beyond that, knock yourself out kid. 

1. Absolutely! You can make an OC for any nation you want, provided canon gives space for you too (eg. Maybe don’t make an England OC, because it interferes with canon, or an Italy OC because it REALLY screws over canon.) But don’t be put off by the fact that a lot of other people have made an OC of the nation you’re making an OC of. 

2. Go for it! 2Ps are a lot of fun, I’d say it’d be pretty cool if you did, just make sure you make it clear that that’s her 2P, and not her actual personality, unless it’s specifically a 2P focused OC, then it’d be wise to ensure that the 2P doesn’t overshadow the actual OC. 

3. See this one’s a toughy. I’d say put in both, and then use whichever one is more conveniant for the situation she’s in. Maybe for her main bio make it the WW2 uniform, but make sure you specigy that, and if you’d like, include her modern day one later on as well, just to make things clear. 

I hope that helps, and have an awesome new year!

Hello there, and this something I found while browsing around an art app, the creator made this right after the attacks of Paris the day before , and it is the most insensitive and awful thing I’ve come across. I could express my rage more but I’m still dumbfounded on what to say after I saw this

Well holy shit. 

i n a year and a half of  running this goddamn blog we did it guys. 

We found the worst OC ever. 

All I have to say is

I think this could work.  I would say that the nation by Italy would have to be very strong to keep the UK away from the other nation (assuming this is taking place during the 1500s-early 1900s).  There would definitely need to be a powerful navy presence from the nation near Italy by the nation in the same area as the UK, since the UK was known for its navy.  

Perhaps let there be a treaty between England and the nation near Italy that states that England can’t take the nation near him?  Otherwise, I would say you could keep your OC in the same region as the UK,  and make the other nation a little bit closer.  Perhaps by France or Spain?

Hope this helps!

No bother at all!

I’m assuming by CSA you are referring to the Confederate States of America. I really like the name Beau, and it is a popular name in the south, so that would be appropriate. Biblical names would be appropriate as well, considering that the south is known as the “Bible Belt”.  As for Connor and Winston, I’m not too sure about.

Hope this helps you! ^^

Hudson here!  Sorry I haven’t reviewd anything in a while,  I’ve been adjusting to my new school and summer was surprisngly crazy.  Anyways, this OC was submitted a while ago and I have decided to review it!

Representing Country/City: Madagascar Human Name: Brandie Nicknames: Brand 

Brandy, or in this case, Brandie, is a Dutch name from the word that means burnt wine.  There are plenty of Malagasy names that are far more appropriate.

Gender: Female. Age: 16 Birthday: December 1, 1999 

1) Someone born on December 1, 1999 would be 15 as of the day I’m reviewing this.

2) I hope 16 is their age of appearance and not their actual age.

3) June 26th is Madagascar’s Independence Day, which would be far more fitting date as a birthday.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Personality: Brandie is kinda of shy and sometimes talk, she always help other if they need her help and Brandie is always making everyone happy, sometimes she feels she not beautiful. 

This personality is rather bland.  I feel like any character in a YA book could have this personality, which isn’t a good thing.  Her only “flaws” are that she is shy and sometimes doesn’t feel attractive.  

Hobbies: drawing Manga, singing

Why do OC creators insist that their non-Japanese characters enjoy manga?  If the country is a large consumer of manga and anime, fair enough, but I doubt Madagascar is filled with fans of Attack on Titan and Free!

Likes: Lemurs, reading Manga, watching anime, helping animals/people Dislikes: being made fun of, doesn't like fighting, letting everyone down Fears: everyone hating her, not able to be a country anymore, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lemurs, because they’re found in the country is okay.  As for everything else, not so much.  I already went over the manga/anime one, and the rest of them are bland and characteristics of most people.  Nobody likes being made fun of and most people fear of being hated.  Those are just normal, human things!

Also, shouldn’t her likes, dislikes, and fears have something to do with her nation? Why yes, yes they should.  Do they? Of course not.

Blood Type: O Height: 5''

The height is actually fairly accurate, but I don’t know whether that is because of research of coincidence.

Weight: 163

I’m assuming the creator is using pounds, and if so, this means that her character is obese.  And as of 2008, only 1.6 of the population in Madagascar was obese, so...

Hair: long brown hair down to her back Eyes: brown eyes  Outfit - [what she's wearing up top], sometimes a red beautiful flower dress Jewelry: a locket  Piercings: Ear’s

There was no picture attatched to the review, so I’m just going to pray to God that she isn’t whitewashed to hell.  Also, you should probably include a military or formal uniform in appearance. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Family : France [brother], Canada [brother]

France has plenty of colonies and territories other than Madagascar and Canada, so I would suggest adding those.

Friends: England, China, Poland, Ukraine,  Japan, Germany, Sealand, Baltrics, Austria  Belarus, and Switzerland Best Friends : Italy, Prussia, America, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Liechtenstein

How many of these are accurate?  I’m just gonna take a guess and say, very little.

Enemies:Belgium, 

Because you have a crush on Spain?

Crush: Spain, Romano, Prussia, Romania, Iceland and England

Because you have a crush on Spain.  And several other countries.

Pet: Two Lemurs name Mort and Bailey History: Unknown.

1) Mort was the name of one of the lemurs from the Madagascar franchise.

2)  The history wasn’t unknown, you were just too lazy to research.

This is all for today!
