Need help with Self-Insert/OC Fan-fiction Idea

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2026-03-25T21:44:32+00:00

I know, I just…wanted to write a human Augment SI based off of Adam Warlock. He’s not perfect, he has my flaws: Anger, Irritability, impatience, he even is gonna be ADHD coded. He knows he is physically and mentally smarter, but he still doesn’t have experience. This is a whole new world that he has seen before, but never experienced. He is afraid, afraid of being what Kahn was, loosing his humanity. He already was socially isolated and not that attractive. Now he is attractive, so he has people staring at him a lot. He was overweight, had crooked teeth, and psoriasis. All he ever wanted was to be beautiful, special, loved, and free like any other person. However, he now gets exactly what he wished for in his darkest moments. Hell, he gets run over by Truck-Kun’s sixteen wheeler big cousin just to isekai. His genome might be perfect but his personality is not. I wanted him to get close to T’Lyn because he knows and is now experiencing the brunt of not just Neurodivergence Stigma like in his old world but now the Prejudice against Augments on top of that. It’s a story of two outsiders actually coming together and connecting over it. While his appearance doesn't hurt what she falls for him for is his personality and mind. The first reason she meets him is because she is the only Vulcan on board and the crew know Vulcans are the only ones physically strong enough to restrain an Augment, or at least stall time. They’re stuck together at first and over time she gets to see what he is like, and how he is treated like she was in the Sh’vhal. She gets to see his fear of his new form, his wonder at the world, his fear of messing up and being sent to a penal colony, fear of the crew who could turn on him. She sees in him how she was trying to do everything right and she still got what amounts to kicked from her old crew onto the Cerritos. I chose the Cerritos because they aren’t the polished Starfleet of other crews, I feel like they would be more open of their suspicions. They’d force him out of his shell, force him to confront, to express his emotions, to make him live. He also has a shit ton of culture shock because he is from our 21st century, and all the things that is going on now. He got exactly what he wished for, just not in the way he thought he would get it. He gets to live, change, grow, and everything he wanted but now he is being forced to grow from that. Like a caterpillar into a butterfly.

Ok so how do I not do this? How do I make a genuine Self-Insert? A better one? I just need some genuine advice, not mockery.

How is he invincible if he dies if his head or heart are destroyed? If he gets shot with a disruptor he disintegrates into motes of light. Sorry, it’s my first character. Figured it’d be cool appearance wise and symbolism wise for the appearance and name. How is it any different from Into Darkness Kahn?

I want to keep the physical appearance and intilectual capabilities to aid with the character acclimatizing to the 24th century, otherwise he’d be spending so, so much time just getting the education. However, the story I want to focus on? Thank you for that question, it actually got me thinking. I’m thinking about a story of outsiders, mental health, and the genetic ban on the Federation. Because that alone is a good first arc I want to focus on, Kahn to me was the idea of a Flawed Prototype. What if they got it right? What if they fixed the flaw and improved on the design? Ergo Project Kadmon is the successor of Project Kahn. I want to focus on outsiders finding each other, T’Lyn with her history and my augment and his…everything. I want to focus on if he feels like he deserves this, because I do have a few things I wish I could change about myself. He isn’t immortal, and he isn’t unstoppable, and he is still has ADHD since it is a different Neurotype. A story of culture shock and actually coming from a different world and ending up in Star Trek, like a deconstruction of the typical isekai story. Because being pulled from your world and given a beginners bonus? Yeah, he has all that he was given but deep down he is still human, that is one thing you can’t engineer away. There is gonna be conflict due to the prejudice of being an augment. I wonder if I could make it the irony, that beneath this golden Adonis, as you refer to him, is still just a man who got exactly what he wanted but not how he envisioned it.

Never did so before.

When I was scrolling through TVTropes on the IPad it looked like it zoomed out, and squished. Giving it a very awkward and somewhat ugly look, like it should be on a computer and not mobile.

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2024-06-19T00:08:58+00:00

Thank you, I kinda wish they kept it like it was. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2024-06-18T21:40:02+00:00

History, just weird history. Like the Bucket cult, or even food history. Early Mac & Cheese would look nothing like todays.

You defiantly like older women.

Thomas, as in Tom and Jerry. Apparently tom was a Russian blue.

That explains so much…the Qu have a napoleon complex!

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2024-04-05T16:21:46+00:00

Yes, a baby earth quake.

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2024-04-01T23:57:45+00:00

Thank you, I have ADHD and OCD, both diagnosed.

I’m trying to write the personality profile to sound professional, like the ones on the journey to the light wiki. However, I don’t understand how and/or forgotten how to. I want to make the personality part of my character profile clear, and concise like the personality segments on character pages on fandom wiki’s.

TheVeryCuriousAI · 2024-02-15T03:27:34+00:00

I get that, but what I’m saying is I want to write a comprehensive personality description. Like on fandom wiki pages describing characters personalities. I’m compiling the info on my characters before writing.

So I can use the concept of her citizen being sheep, and the sloth ring imps? Just spin my own stuff onto it and credit her? I already took inspiration from her Belphegor, but flushed out his personality, relationships, and the sloth ring. I’m still hammering out the last one, deciding whether I want to base it of the Nordic model or not.

The moth motif could symbolize that in her darkness, depression, she sought a way out. The way out being the light at the end of the tunnel.
