I don't, it just makes sense for mine to be related to a Dragon because he is a Dragon, and Scorn is the only non-robotic dragon on CP thus far. I'm not going to say anything about your fancharacters. I respect your descision to make such character, so please respect my decision to explain.

Let's take this into context. You said that since you have a dragon fancharacter, it will make sense if this dragon is related to Scorn. Applying this knowledge, that means at every single penguin on CP, including you and I, is related to another. That is wrong.

There are always more than one penguin out there, and so would be polar bears, crabs, puffles, etc. That also includes Scorn. If Scorn wasn't introduced, your characte will definitely not be related to him.

But then again, your fancharacter may not even exist if Scorn was your inspiration.

By all means, your fancharacter can be related to Scorn or any other canon character. Just make sure that your character makes sense, okay? Okay.

I pretend my penguin was Rockhopper's son though, I mean, I started on a pirate themed party (Rockhopper's Quest), one of the first item I got out of the treasure book was those pirate things, and we are both red.

I respect your decision, since there seemed to be other reasons for relation. I'm just saying that penguins do it a lot just so they can be "famous" or "special" by relation -- after all, that ain't gonna happen if Rockhopper/Scorn/Cadence/Jet Pack Guy/Gary/et cetera never existed in the first place. (Gary's case is more believeable, because he already has lots of relatives. Remember that your character has to make sense within their respective universe.)

(Talking about sense, who's the mother? How in the world did they repopulate? Why did Rockhopper want to have a son? Why doesn't he hang out with said son? Giving fancharacters famous relatives is a bit Mary-Sueish, but it can be balanced out if their backstory is correct.)

Also, not everyone is going to play by your headcanon's views. I'm not saying specifically towards you; I'm just warning the other self-absorbed idiots that the world does not revolve around their characters.

Anything else? I do hate it when it comes to OC's Parents, this one time, i was talking to someone who's OC was the daughter of Elsa, i asked 'That's cool! Who's the Father?' and they started yelling at me because i said that their OC needs both a mother and father.

That, my friend, is terrible character background. But chances are, they don't know any better or are close-minded. Or both.

(Take this to the OC forum.)
