My early characters used to change their names a lot. "Tim" is simply the name I liked the most out of all he had. The names included (but were not limited to--------
About this 'Requiem' series:
My memory is a strange thing. I can't remember what I ate for lunch today, but I can remember things from a time when I was 8 or 9. More specifically, I can remember characters. I suspect that my lack of mental space for remembering people's faces and chores has something to do with the fact that I have a HUGE chunk of my mental HD used for storage of old stories that never saw the light of the day, but I just couldn't let go.
So, I decided to make them a symbolic "burial". I'm putting them on paper (some of them, for the very first time) and writing their stories and whatever I remember from them. These images will be printed later and I'll put them in a file, so my mind can rest assured that they won't be lost to time. Maybe then I can delete some information to make room for my recent memories.
Don't be surprised if you discover that 90% of what I produced in my early creative years were just fanart. Being creative is an acquired skill, even if you don't believe that.

I have the randomest ocs in a little green sketchbook somewhere from when I started drawing anime. I've got some weird fcs from before then too.
I think I agree that being creative is something you learn. In my early years, I don't remember much other than FCs and drawing fanart. I think we all start out copying to some degree, then move on to 'changing somewhat' and then going 'you know what, nope' and doing original stuff.

When we are inexperienced, all of us need training wheels of some sort. ^^
