Well, it allows for new perspectives. For example, an OC can have different values and goals compared to the original characters, which can lead to unexpected plot twists. Like an OC who doesn't care about the Iron Throne but rather about uniting the smallfolk, that's a fresh take.
I think it could be the blacksmith OC who has a strong moral code. For instance, an OC who refuses to make weapons for evil lords or sells his work only to those who he believes will use it for good. This type of character adds depth to the fanfiction and can be very appealing to readers who like complex and morally upright characters.
One great 'Game of Thrones' powerful OC fanfiction is 'The Dragon's Heir'. It features an OC who is a long - lost descendant of a Targaryen. The character has the power to control dragons in a unique way and their journey through Westeros is full of political intrigue and battles.
OC Myranda in fanfiction could be used to explore different relationships. For example, she could have an unexpected friendship with a character that was her enemy in the show. This could lead to some really cool plot twists. Also, the author could change her role in the political intrigue of Westeros. Instead of being just a tool for Ramsay Bolton, she could become a key player in her own right, manipulating the power dynamics in a different way.
The OC Greenseer could act as a guide. They might use their visions to lead characters to hidden treasures or safe havens. For instance, they could show a group of refugees the way to a secret valley where they can survive the winter and the war.
An OC Stark might be more politically astute than the original characters. They could form different alliances, like making a deal with the Iron Bank that gives the North more financial power and influence. This would shift the power dynamics not only in the North but also across Westeros. The original plot of various houses vying for the Iron Throne would be affected as the North becomes a stronger and more independent force.
I really like 'A North Reborn' fanfiction. It shows how the North, with its unique traditions and strong - willed people, rises to become a force to be reckoned with. The story weaves in elements of magic that were somewhat hinted at in the original series but not fully explored in the context of the North. It's a great read for those who love the idea of the North being a powerful entity in the 'Game of Thrones' universe.
In many Game of Thrones fanfictions, a more powerful North can be depicted in various ways. One way is through stronger leadership. For example, if the Starks had been more united and strategic from the start, they could have amassed greater military power. They could have also formed stronger alliances with the Free Folk earlier, leveraging their numbers and knowledge of the North's terrain. This would have made the North a more formidable force against their enemies, like the Lannisters or the White Walkers.
One great 'Game of Thrones OC Mage' fanfiction is 'The Mage of Westeros'. It has a well - developed original character who is a mage. The story weaves in the complex politics of Westeros while the mage uses their powers to navigate through various challenges.
Petyr Baelish often plays a devious role in OC fanfiction. He might be the mastermind behind many plots. For example, he could be using an OC to gain more power in King's Landing.
