====== 🔰 OC Pages ======
[{{  typyl:mugs:blank.png?200| Default Typyl Mugshot}}]

\\ **Original Characters** (also known as **OCs**) are usually fan-made characters intended for a specific series. In Furria, OCs are characters made and usually intended for the world of Furria.

Original Characters can either be:
  - Complete representation of people (Personas / Sonas)\\ //(Mostly [[culture:antecedence|antecedents]] in Furria)//
  - Completely original characters only for use in Furria
  - Reflection of user's characters originally made outside or made for another series

<div info>If you wish to make one of your own original characters for Furria, please take a look at the [[guide:typyl|Typyl Creation Guide]] to see how.</div>

\\ **OC Pages** act as the wiki version of having a [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mlOrZcQtOV_4-qTxIbH0NeUxe5_MET-9VIx-c3UIRVk/edit?usp=sharing|Typyl Reference Sheet]] easily accessed by everyone and displayed in the proper wiki format and shared with a friendly URL.

<span important>In order to create your own OC page in the wiki, you must be [[https://furria.net/wiki/guide/oc?do=register|registered]] and [[https://furria.net/wiki/guide/oc&do=login|signed in]] the Furria Wiki.</span>

===== Page Creation =====
To create a page, one must follow the following steps.
  - Be **registered** and **signed in** the Furria Wiki.\\ \\ 
  - Open a new tab to the [[:oc:home]]. (So you still have this guide)\\ \\ 
  - Pay attention to the URL in your address bar on that tab.\\ Right now it should be ''https://furria.net/wiki/oc/home''\\ \\ 
  - Replace ''home'' with your username in the Furria Wiki.
    * Your username can be found below the logo of the wiki on the left sidebar.
    * **Example:** If your username is "fiakaiera" then the URL should be ''https://furria.net/wiki/oc/fiakaiera''\\ \\ 
  - Add another slash (''/'') after  then the actual full name of your character, with spaces replaced by underscores, all in lowercase.
    * **Example:** If the character name is "Templea Te" then the URL should be ''https://furria.net/wiki/oc/fiakaiera/templea_te''
    * If you didn't do this properly, the wiki editors will relocate your page accordingly.\\ \\ 
  - If you're properly logged in, you should see a ''➕ New'' button at the top of the page. Press it, then save.
    * If you are unable to, feel free to send a DM [[https://twitter.com/projectfurria|@ProjectFurria]] on Twitter, or ask in the [[https://discord.furria.net|Typyl Tropes discord server]].\\ \\ 
  - Go back and edit the page, and replace all instances of FIXME with whatever it is represented in the [[guide:typyl|Typyl Guide]].
