OSC stands for "Original Sonic Character", but fan-made characters are not any of the canon (main) characters from Sega's Sonic.

It should be called "Sonic Fan Character", as the rest of the world calls it.

Shadow, Sonic, Amy, Tails, Knuckles... etc.. are the Original Sonic Characters. Note that OC (Original Character) means that the idea of the character is completely original, like anime characters a person made or a new fursona (wolf/cat mascot). If the idea already exists, then it is a fan character, not a original character. It would be better to say OFSC (Original Sonic Fan Character), but it should be called a Sonic Fan Character.
