OC

Not a repost

OC typically stands for original character—a fictional character created by a fan rather than the original author: She drew fan art of her OC.

In fan communities, OC distinguishes personal creations from canon characters.

OC can also mean original content, marking something as the creator's own work rather than a repost or remix.
