demino_hellsin - If they have the same skills as the hero, what's the pint of putting him there? Why not just use the hero? Your OC has to be unique, male IS pilots are just Ichika with more badassery just because the author wants them to. That's why the OC I use has different skills; he's a skilled hacker, he's smarter and he's more adaptable than Ichika but Ichika has more raw power and has the potential to be the strongest. It's all about making your character unique but not overpowered.
Besides, unique doesn't mean weaker, read "Heart of the Machine". The OC is stronger than Ichika but he manages not to completely make Ichika seem like a retard in comparison.
