> apparently i'm late to the party but i just found out charahub shut down, taking all of my OCs along with it. luckily, of course, it wasn't the only place i stored my most important ones, but i'm still pretty upset about the ones that i did lose. i'm pretty sure i had an entire league of magical girls on there.

> the only other site i know that's like it is toyhouse, which requires an invite code qq

> anyone know of any other OC storing sites? i know online isn't the best place to store them as you run the risk of others stealing your ideas, but i also find that the sites can really help you to develop your characters.

> idk.

> @Bioshock: ahh yeah i get that. if you ever do get a code, i don't have much art skills but i'd like to think i'm pretty good at poetry, lol! yeah, a few people elsewhere have also suggested notebook.ai and it's honestly not bad!

> @Bioshock: i know! it's a little crazy. i've also gotten started on WorldAnvil, which is pretty cool because it isn't just for writing and OCs, you can also develop tabletop RPG campaigns on it

> @Bioshock: right? i would love to try one. i was in the same boat, i had a few that just... never went anywhere. roll20 seems like it'd be fun if i had more willing online friends


> @Kitalpha Hart: i would seriously be so grateful if that's at all possible! it looks like a really nice site and community

@ukurtlele: Oh man, that's not good D:
I keep all my characters on ToyHouse (If you still need a code let me know, I'll get one to you since I have a ton sitting around unused) but I store their artwork on google drive, dropbox and at least 2 or 3 flashdrives XD I''d be so upset if I lost all of their stuff ; u ; I need to make a basic document of their info though so if something happens I don't have to retype all that too x.x

Oh goodness. I'm so sorry to hear about you losing your characters due to the Charahub shut down. I was actually considering starting one up, but I'm so glad I didn't honestly. Still, I do feel your pain as I would be really upset if anything happened to my characters. They're like my children.

I wish I knew of an alternative site for you, but unfortunately Toyhouse is the only other one I am familiar with and I don't have any codes so...

@ukurtlele: That's good to hear! I mostly do doodles of my characters, but majority of the artwork I've got for them is commissioned work ; u ;

Toyhouse codes are really easy to get tbh. If you haven't got one from someone here already, try Deviantart; there are people giving them away for free every day, and if you make a thread asking for one, you'll probably get a response very shortly. I think I got mine within a day or two of first hearing about the site. I don't remember if you can lurk the forums without joining or not, but there is a thread on TH where users with extra codes sometimes post them, as well.
As for other sites, a lot of people do use Weebly; it's free and has been around for a long time. Though I prefer TH because it's so easy to use and organize. I'm not aware of any others with a similar setup, but I'm sure they're out there. You could also use a regular art site (like Deviantart) and post your characters' art and profile information as submissions, since they have folders to help you organize things.
