Come ponies and spammers
Who prophesies with your posts
And keep your browsers wide
The chance won’t come soon again
And don’t post too soon
For the thread’s still in spin
And there’s no telling who
That it’s naming.Come Jack Spicer, Bronies
Please head the call
Don’t troll in the doorway
Don’t get trolled in the hall
For he who gets butthurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle inside
And it is raging’
It’ll soon shake your browsers
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’Come trolls and spammers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your hated pony posters
Are beyond your command
Your old ways are
Rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend a hand
For the boards they are a-changin’The line is drawn
The post is cast
The slow thread now
Will later be fast
As the present hate
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadein’
And the first poster now
Will later be last
For the boards they are a-changin’Come gather ‘round spammers
Wherever you roam
And admit that the threads
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll soon call them home
If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start posting
Or you’ll be forever alone
For the boards they are a-changin’The Wastelander, March 27, 2011

I agree.
I guess whatever the artist wants to label their work, it’s entirely up to them.
All I’m saying is that my personal definition of Original Character would be a character that was actually designed by the person who made it. It would not be a character that was just copied from somewhere else.
I wouldn’t take a drawing of Twilight Sparkle and just change her name, say her personality is different, and then call it an OC.
But, like I said, it’s artist’s discretion. Some artists do operate that way, and they are free to do so.
Maybe I don’t understand what you are trying to say.
“The Wastelander” asked someone to draw that pony for him to use as his avatar in 2011, and it represented him when he posted.. He created the personality of the character, and used that image to represent himself when he was roleplaying as that character.
Are you saying that because the character was based on another popular figure (in this case “Zee Captain”) that it can’t be called someone’s OC or labeled as such?
…so in modern terms it doesn’t mean Original Character? ‘Cause I’ve been using the same character as an avatar on many sites for years and I’ve never claimed that I created him. :P
I’ve done a little more crawling through my logs, and this is the image that The Wastelander used as an avatar, so I think in modern terms that’s what we call an OC.
Do we need to go around and tag every ponified character as an OC now?
