For your OCs
Things to do with your OCs on Bibliarch
Bibliarch is a free place to take notes on your original characters. Keep everything about them together, see how they connect, and build their world.
What you can do
- Take notes on them. Every OC gets a card on your board. Open it and you have a whole page just for that character, so their details stop getting lost in your phone notes.
- Write down their backstory. Keep their history, motivations, fears and secrets together, and add to them whenever you think of something new.
- Keep their art and references together. Put drawings, outfits, face claims and mood boards right next to their notes.
- Map who they know. Use a relationship map to show how your OCs are connected. Each direction is separate, so one can be in love while the other has no idea.
- Sort them into groups. Use folders to keep characters together by story, world, family or friend group.
- Make a cast list. Use a list or table to see your whole cast at a glance, with ages, roles, or whatever you want to compare.
- Build the world around them. Add locations and events so you know where your OCs live and what has happened to them.
- Plan their story. Start with the Story planner and you get sections for characters, plot and worldbuilding already set up.
- Share them with friends. Invite friends to your board to build a shared world or swap characters. Everyone can edit together, live.
- Turn them into a book. When you’re ready, write their story or a character guide in Bibliarch Books and download it as a PDF or EPUB.
