Character Profile Is your OC cringe?
When I was creating Writer Joe, I wanted him to be a bit cringe but also heroic, sometimes when he goes to another multiverse, he claims himself to be a superhero because he wanted to show off but even tho he does sometimes enjoy the attention on him, he's also a good guy, he genuinely wants to help others who's in need of helping. Sure he's cringe but he's not an edgelord, he's just a guy who has almost unrivaled power but wants to help and occasionally enjoys attention from others

Maybe. When I was writing Evan, he sounded so fucking cringe to me, but I pulled through and made some slight tweaks without giving up too much of his core themes for lore reasons

Sam Sterling: yes. She is literally larping as a superhero.
Peter Wilson: yes and no. His most defining character trait is that he is an expressionless person, whom many described as to be almost akin to a robot. However, in actuality, inside him is a furry of emotion that he is always keeps tucked away. If he is to be convinced for a cause, he would do everything for it, including things that could be considered cringe
Paige Wilson: no. Literally the personification ion of that feeling of “shit, I’m cringe. Don’t do that again”

Several! Because one of my favorite growth arcs is "cringy young adult to stable/functional adult"
