on the other hand the usage of "original character" is kind of odd because the whole concept of creating a new character implies some form of originality so the "original" in the term feels superfluous.

yes but the term's usage in statements such as "This is my original character/OC!" seems quite amusing, don't you think

why
because they probably have multiple characters, and referring to them collectively as 'original characters' makes more sense

and also oc is a better acronym

then why don't people with legitimate series or whatnot refer to their characters as ocs? What differentiates the characters a published person makes compared to the ones amateur artists or writers create?
