Be the hero of your story? I raise you: Why not be the villian too. Be all of the main characters you can be. Does anyone else have a daytime soap opera of their life playing in their own head? No? Just me... Ok then. I genuinly believe that if you write or create and OC you need to relate to them on some level. Often times people wright characters to work though things. ANYWAY. If you are not your own main character OC or not, you need to think about why. Thats actually a problem, and I would seriously look inward to figure that out. You don't have to be the most interesting person one the planet, I sure as hell don't claim to be. But, everyone has a story to tell.
