original

This copyright tag is used to indicate the presence of at least one original character in an image.

In some cases where the artist who creates a franchise draws art of the character, both 'original' and series name would be appropriate tags to coexist.

If an original character's name is known, please create a green character tag for them.

In the case of it being a common name, if there is no known series name to put in parenthesis, instead use the artist/creator of the OC's name in parenthesis.

Only use original character as a green character tag if you do not know the name of an original character. This tag is useful only to indicate unknown or un-named OCs.

The following tags are aliased to this tag: /o (learn more).
