Do you think anyone would give a SHIT about Mario and Sonic in a vaccum? Of course not
??? There's dozens of Mario and Sonic mascot copycats that got lost to time because their games or video game consoles flopped.
By your logic of survivorship bias, we would all believe that only Mickey used rubberhose art style or only Disney studios did animation in the 1920s, but the truth is that their competitors just failed.
>Want to make your OC iconic? Make a story for it, a good one, if possible.
Neither are necessary, specially a "good story" lol
