Hello there! I watched the episode, and I thought it was pretty interesting! I even went to check out the OCs that were featured. Also, the points you made about each OC were very helpful since I'm actually trying to make some original characters of my own for a few different works. 
I see that you changed the color of your tie from purple/violet to gold to match your hooves. Looks nice and bright! I imagine that if the suit were in the real world, the tie would be made of some kind of shimmery material. Just out of curiosity, is pink your absolute favorite color since you chose it for the suit? 
I hope you'll make another episode sometime. I really enjoy these kinds of story and character-related things. ^_^

Hello again Bliss, liked this episode.  If you plan to do more in the future I'd like to give you an OC I created to review.cannicuspalentine.deviantart.c… you know, if you want to.

Now before I say who he is I agreed with you that too many people focus on one aspect of a character instead of balancing out multiple facets of their character, which is why the character I present may have a tragic backstory, but that does't define him.  Also he is not the main character of the story but a side character who interacts and knows the protagonits, one of whom happens to be Starswirl (who is a young apprentice at this time period)

Adamant Guardian:  Some of his character motivation is written in the description but his backstory isn't, so if you bear with me I'll put it here.  He lives in an alternate past of Equestria, think Fallout Equestria only with elements of Dragon Age, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia and Warhammer Fantasy (no not 40K, the original) combined with the events before Hearthswarming and the founding of Equestria.  Whilst the fanfic hasn't been completed yet and is yet to be published the story is similar to Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition, Adamant being the head of the Albesian Templars (Earth Pony Kingdom) despite being a Unicorn, who are the most sensitive to magic and therefore more likely to persue the path of a Mage.  He was born into one of the lower noble houses of Albien to an Earth Pony father and a Unicorn mother from the Solarii Imperium.  From both he gained a unique perspective on the world (in this the time peroid), learning from a young age to not judge someone based on their past, occupation, race or the like, an ideal that would be put to the test regually throughout his life.  

First when he was conscripted by the Royal army when he barely came of age to fight against the Sliefunn Empire (Pegasai combined with the cultures of Rome and Imperial France) who were invading their country.  Then again when a Shadow Mage (this world's equivelant of a blood mage) killed many of his closest friends for the reason of appeasing a demon of pride, which prompted him to join the Templars, then again when some of his fellow Templars abused their power over their Mage charges, long story short he went back and forth between different groups and ideologies most of his life, some of his own ideas conflicting with the ideologies of others, in particular some of the teachings of the Celestial Temple (the Church), but he percevered thanks to his will and fortitude and the support from the friends he made in all those groups, the army, the Templars and the Mages.  He may sound very down to earth, no-nonsense and even sometimes gruff to the general public, but as a young Stallion and in private with his closest friends, he does like to let out a bit of his humourous side every once in a while with a joke or two.  He's no prankster by any means, although he does enjoy a good game in his spare time, his favorite being chess, (his mark represents his skill as a strategist, strength of will as a guardian and as a leader).

That does not mean however he has faults.  His past experiences have been mired by hasty decisions and emotion filled outbursts, one that he's been trying to fix over the years but still comes out from time to time.  He has a strong sense of loyalty and honour and expects the same from those around him, so he often takes betrayal or deception very poorly, with few exceptions.  To sum up he's what you'd get if you took Ned and Arya Stark from Game of Thrones and Alistair and Gregor from Dragon Age and put them in a blender with some Pony thrown in.  At least that's what I'm aiming for.

Nice video. I like the idea of judging your OC. I have posted my OC for YourOCSucks, but they never used it yet. Guess my OC compare to the rest is rather mediocre. Hopefully, I can get to hear your opinions of my OC. I really like to hear other's opinions.

Lightning-Bliss In reply to TheAbyssalSamurai [2015-10-15 14:38:01 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure that's not it all....

The thing is you're not the only one who has an OC that wants to be judged or viewed on a YT channel. Everyone wants a piece of that action. Heck i wanted my OC to be on their show once too. These guys probably get swamped with emails or messages daily with people throwing their OCs at them. I would know because I only did ONE little episode of judging and now I'm getting hundres of messages or comments requesting me to judge their OC.

We can only do so much, help so much, cater to so many people at once.

TheDreamSage [2015-10-14 22:11:15 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you about too much sad/dark back stories. You see it way to often where people want you to emphathize with their character but take the wrong path by making it so violent or dramatic that you just feel bad for the character and that's not what you want. Too much negative doesn't gain empathy, in fact, it can cause apathy towards your character just because we see it all the time. No one is going to have a perfect life, in fact the secondary trope are characters who have done too good, never had to really face any obstacles and have everything just wrapped in a neat tidy bow. So it's best to mention maybe something they had to face/overcome/or struggle with as well as something that makes them happy, a brighter time even if it's just a memory to your character it helps adding dimension and even some background. None of this is strictly to mlp though, this is in any fanfiction site you see it repeatedly through all kinds of genre's. So you might wanna get use to some of those oc's in your show, even if it's not our cup a tea they'll be around a lot. Sorry if I went on a tangent there, I realize you know all that so it was kinda redundant for me to point out. ^///^

o.o I...wasn't trying to critique anyone...I was just pointing out common usage and ways to expand characters more if they do have dark backgrounds as a general principal...but, glad I could help I guess? ^///^' I did actually really like the costume design though on your character, it had alot of personality.

I am impressed with this show. You handle yourself very professionally and unlike some OC judges, don't make crude comments about the owner of the OC. Once my OCs have been drawn out, I will happily send them to you to be judged. I should take this time to work on their backstories and personalities.

Nice video, Blissy. I like your opinions on those OC's and I love your rainbow rating system. It's a pity I can draw, because you might enjoy an OC I've created called Gear Grind. I've only got a backstory set up for him at the moment, but I can send it through to you via Notes if you'd like to read it.

I will only accept OCs AFTER I post a journal explaining how to do so. And I will not respond to comment submitted requests.

If I don't reply to a PM after you follow instructions to submit an OC, it's more likely because I already chose the 3 to review next.
