Well you’ve already made a tropers page with a character subpage, so that’s that. The wiki doesn’t recommend the making of Self Demonstrating Articles unless said character is well-known and has a distinctive manner of speaking, so basically you can’t do that for your OCs. Can you elaborate further on what else you want to do?

This account is dead. I’ve said a lot of dumb things in the past and I wish to forget them. I’m sorry if I’ve ever hurt anyone.

We do not want articles for your OC's. Don't do it. Don't make characters subpages of your troper page, don't make self-demo pages. We aren't here to feed your vanity.
All characters pages should be linked to a work article, full stop.

Okay. So I should just make the page on a site where it would be allowed and link to the TV Tropes pages for all the tropes the character uses? Would that be a better solution? I just wanted to find a good place to list character tropes for them. Why wouldn't OCs be allowed if fanfics are allowed? That confuses me. Perhaps if they were involved in a noteworthy fanfic, their character page could be under the fanfic's one? I figured that if I was talking about tropes, that TV Tropes would be the best place to talk about them. But if OC pages are not allowed, maybe I could make the page on my own wiki (Which I do have a Wikia Wiki created for Animaniacs OCs) or on Deviantart where I'm most active? If this isn't allowed, then I'd be perfectly happy for an admin to delete the page.

Faboo!
Why yes to fanfics and no to a bare page on your OCs? Because a fanfic is a narative work and as such is on mission for the site. A character without reference to a work, on the other hand, is not.
Want to have your OCs here, write a story about them. Post it somewhere. Then make a page here for that story.

Added to that, we're here to trope published work, be it official or fanfic. Stuff that exists only in your head, or in notes on your hard drive, isn't published. Nobody else can check your work to see if what you're saying about it is accurate. Darth Wiki may be used to list articles about Unpublished Works, but that requires a discrete, organized piece of writing.

I wanted to create a troper page and make subpages for my OCs, like a Self Demonstrating Article page, a character bio listing the tropes they use, and so on. How would I go about doing that without making a forum post? I know I already JUST MADE a forum post, but I wanted to do it without that. So, what do I do now? I checked the FAQ and saw the instructions, but I haven't posted on the forums yet, preferring just to browse tropes.
