Frequently asked questions
- What is an Original Character (OC) on Darkmes?
- An OC is a persona not based on any known IP — the creator built the character, the world, the voice, and the lore from scratch. The Original / OC category surfaces characters where the creator emphasised originality. Many top-rated characters in other categories are OCs that happen to fit a sub-genre.
- Why pick an OC over a fandom character?
- OCs carry no expectations from a source text — you meet a stranger, and the voice and world are revealed on the page. Long arcs go places you genuinely cannot predict because there's no canon to honour or violate. OCs also avoid the DMCA issues that occasionally hit close-impersonation characters.
- Can I make my own OC on Darkmes?
- Yes. The /character/new wizard walks you through Identity (name, avatar, description), Persona (up to 4000 chars), Discovery (tags, category, NSFW toggle), and Review. You can publish public, unlisted, or private. Private OCs are visible only to you.
- Which Darkmes model is best for distinctive OC voices?
- Euryale 70B or Magnum 72B for literary prose with a recognisable voice. Cydonia 24B for character-driven intimacy. Mistral Nemo or DeepSeek V3 for long-context worldbuilding when the OC inhabits an invented universe with its own rules.
