Well,of course that you will outshine the main characters of the series since it's YOUR story,you are the main character of YOUR event otherwise,it's useless to write a Fanfic about a character in where he isn't even the "Hero" no?
I guess that what most people do in OCs is making themselves almost God-like or even making the main female characters fall for him (sadly..) which is,i admit,very unpleasant to read.
