Fantasy Personas Meet OCs

[MissMakeBelief]

Idk how this place works very well but I wanna have an RP buddy.
I honestly always just like to start with our personas being the main characters in a long chaotic chain of stories with our OCs. A little childish but I'm just looking to have fun, I don't care about elaborate, well thought-out storylines because it's more fun to make up as we go along. I have a fantasy world that I've been developing for years and that's always my go-to setting. There are three main countries, one of which represents the culture of early england/America, one kind of resembles a fantasy/medieval world. And the other is just a weird place kind of like a mix between both and Alice in wonderland world. I have pinterest boards that elaborate better.

So to clarify what is the difference between a Persona and an OC?

They're similar. A persona is an OC that represents the author, and an OC is just an original character, belonging to a story/world etc.

Alright so I think on here we would say

OC = the playable character (i.e. the character you or your partner are playing in the story)
NPC = a side character that exists in the story to flesh out the world but that no one is playing.
