there may be some who copy others.But its not called copying,its just an inspiration.There are many original rhgs dude.Atleast mine :3


You don't get it. How do you think were you inspired? Where do you think you got that inspiration from? Another idea, that was also taken from another and another and another.


Also, everyone stop talking about your abilities. Nobody cares how original your RHGs are and frankly the fact that you're talking about it makes it seem like you're all being defensive.

Inspiration is the reason why some RHGs doesn't have originality,I just suggest to add some different things to your RHG but not the other's ability,think a ability that you think that doesn't looks so obvious.
I admit my RHG is too unoriginal :/

It really depends on what you mean by original. I don't mind inspiration (because something that is inspired can still be original in its own way), but anything that's a blatant copy of something isn't one that I particularly enjoy.

No, this is you attempting to justify that the rules don't apply to you. Archetypically, nothing is original anymore. It's just come to a point of who can mask the copying streak more.

People will always copy whatever is the norm and whoever is the most popular. And RHG Clones have always been around. They're seasonal and they pop up once in awhile and not just now.


This is where you are wrong. It totally applies to me. Cause I was one of the people who did this back in FA. Inspired and copying are not the same thing. You must not have seen my true intent. Rather to destroy complete copies then other similarities. Cause truthfully I find originality in RHG extremely difficult, unless yours is just weird or completely unique. So at least everyone won't be the same, just a bit different from one another to stand out.

Quote from Molgera
originality is dead because of hipsters and pop music. besides, it's very difficult coming up with something original most of the time.


No.
Have you ever thought of looking outside of the mainstream?
The entertainment industry is buzzing with life, and if you would take a little time to tell the corporations to stop force-feeding you their shit and hunted your own game you would realize that there is a lot of creative and original content out there. Whether it be music, animation, video games or film, if you just take a little time you can easily find something that you haven't seen or heard before. You are only fooling yourself if you say that everything is always the same, because it is far from true.
Complaining about how the mainstream is always the same wont result in anything, you have to dig up the creative yourself.

> Doesn't take the time to actually look at our rhgs to tell if they are this much alike
> Disregards my above post

Differences-
Zinx is demigod
My rhg is a monk

Zinx is purple; combination of the two
My rhgs are orange and grey

Zinx fuses
My rhg doesn't

Raxes and Zade;Zinx already knew each other
My rhgs didn't

Raxes and Zade are close in age
My Rhgs aren't

Similarities
Raxes and Zade = 2or 3 if you include Zinx
My rhg = 2

Dude it's like saying, My rhg has a pole staff with a flamethrower at one side. Yellow in colour. Alien planet resident.

Does that sound original?

You're mistakenly taking originality as a literal sense on how yours is "Inspired" just because it's not a complete copy of your inspiration. . .

Yeah, it's pretty difficult to come up with something original nowadays without people bitching "You stole my idea!" and shit. I'm sure you can still come up with something, but it could take a while to figure it out a bit.
But the thing is that creativity is made by an inspiration, like what Hewitt said, which may be the reason why there are so many similar RHGs.

It's basically a big long chain of thoughts and ideas. Besides, if there wasn't anything, then what could you come up with? Nothing, because you haven't been inspired by anything.

But if you take someone's idea and just slap your name on it, then that's considered unoriginal.

Dude it seems you're taking this very negatively. If anything, you should be proud that someone was inspired by you, but all you are doing is throwing that into the toilet.

I just don't like being called a hypocrite.

Anyways someone can lock or bin this, I just wanted to see how the community felt on this topic.

You can be inspired and not copy exactly. For example, I recently got an RHG idea from watching one of Quickfeet's battles and after a little thinking and brainstorming I ended up with an RHG that did stuff with atoms/particles and Gamma rays and whatnot. I won't post the whole thing here, because, I don't start a bandwagon of copycats, and I want to keep my idea original.

Im thinking of already making my char on the forums, but before that, I was wondering what is a copy of other Rhgs. Basically it's inspired by KidKei but I'm probably gonna add more details to make it more distand

Honestly for me it"s so mainstream for rhgs to have very fast or knows kung fu as their abilities. Give it more detail.
Also many rhgs just use swords, it's not a crime but try something else. Bow and arrow, spear, shield that can also attack, chain/whip, you could even try hook swords.
Or not have weapons at all. Just have special powers like stop time temporarily, can shoot bone needles from his hands, can stretch his limbs, breathes fire etc.

I have many character ideas in my head if you want something specific.
