Nettles a fuckin NPC or side character at best dfgd she's simply vibing, opening a lil clinic while her husband opens a lil bakery
Astras a side character or main character, depends on how her dumbass levels are doing
Weiss is an NPC shes just vibing with her lil mechanic shop
Orchids a side character. Evil.

For my original ocverses, some ocs are main charas while some are side charas!!

Norrie is def main character in her story, but to others she can be their side chara haha!!

It mostly depends on the story. Maybe its me growing up with Sonic Adventure but sometimes I always think of stuff divided in "multiple scenarios which then all join together at the end" when it comes to the stories my characters tend to participate

All my OCs are very much NPCs, living their own lives, very often not even knowing the main character. Dory is just a Yell Admin, Ilex is a Grunt during SM, Pepper makes the synga suits and is part of Pasio maintenance, they are all on the sidelines of the games.

NPC GANG 😎 In game Balei would probably be some kind of move tutor that teaches some of your Pokémon dance moves (i.e. Dragon Dance, Fiery Dance, Quiver Dance)

My ocs make up an entire region with 3 league tiers. I like to think most of them are the hero of their own story.

Grim is the main character but eventually just becomes a gigachad npc, Blake and Hiroto are both side characters while Jacques could easily be just an npc !

both of my ocs are ultra gigachad npcs KEJSKABS

ophelia would probably get the same amount of time as grimsley 🗿 she only appears a few times (but we still love her)

Summer is the protagonist. Libelle is the deuteragonist. Briar, Prof. Cedar, Minerva, and Rue are very important characters due to their relation to Summer. The rest of the Bermilta cast are supporting/side characters. Dizi is a gigachad NPC who is unconcerned with what’s going on with Summer and co.

A lot of my OCs are technically just side characters bc they're Gym Leaders in a region's story. Alexis, Basil, Mei and maybe Olivia are the only ones I'd say are main characters

Lionel is absolutely the main character but the rest of his Elite 4 (at least the three I have established haha) are also important.

Between Lionel, Lex, Heather, Shayla and Estella only Estella is really a "side character" in the Carst plot. She's just loosely tied in via being Lionel's sister and exists for me to have fun with atm

Odd's a, "major" character, so to speak.

He's got his own (decently lengthy) story to tell, but partly because it's so closely entwined with the events of a lot of other character's lives/stories. Kinda like FMA/Durarara in a sense

Elio's the main character of his own story for sure, but when it comes to OC interactions, he often act as the support to help others shine despite him unintentionally having a lot of "sigma male energy".

It's really a matter of perspective, Jin and Mary are of course the main characters of their own lives and stories, but they could also easily fill the role of interesting side characters other OCs just happen to bump into.
