OC Stand-In: Difference between revisions

* A few shopkeeps from ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' get this treatment, and HT Masuoka in particular is a favourite of slash writers given his [[Ho Yay|suggestive dialogue]]. Eri is the minor character who gets the most mileage by far, however, since she has a confirmed pre-existing relationship with Shiki and can be believably integrated into the main cast.

* Kaede from ''[[.hack GU Games|.Hack://GU]]'' has absolutely no real importance in the story other than acting like Zelkova's bodyguard, although until she joins your party in the post game you have no idea what her weapon even is. The worst part is she basically vanishes in volume 1 after her appearance, yet you can still do the marriage event with her in Volume 3 despite her having absolutely no development and virtually no game time.

* [[Fire Emblem]] has the [[Player Character|tactician]] from the [[Fire Emblem Elibe|seventh game]]. His default name is Mark, but you can change that and his gender. He never says anything (that we hear) and is only spoken to. There are a small wealth of fanfics about him/her, and almost each one gives him a separate personality and back story.<ref>Most popularly coming from Bern.</ref>

* The originally-intended but [[What Could Have Been|eventually scrapped]] protagonist of ''[[Psychonauts]]'', Dartagan, appeared in the game for less than five seconds. There is a huge range of interpretations of him within various different fanfics, roleplaying accounts, and even [[Creepypasta]].
