OOC can mean two things, although it stands for Out of Character in both. In RPGs (role-playing games) of the journal or text-based message board type, it means that the person behind the character they're playing is asking a question or talking about something real, rather than in the game.

In fanfiction, OOC means that a character in the story is acting not like they usually would - out of character. For example, if Severus Snape suddenly hates Draco Malfoy and loves Harry like a son, he is completely and utterly OOC.

Usually on fanfiction and role plays it means Out of Character.

If you wanted to pretend to be your favorite character in a movie (role playing), you would want to act just like the real character. You know, do what they would do if you were them. That's In Character.

If you're not acting exactly like they would, but you are still pretending to be the character, that would be out of character. Hopefully you got that...I'm bad at explaining sometimes, lol.

However, I'm not sure what it means, the way you're using it. So and So can't belong to an OOC (Out of Character)...lol. Maybe YOU're interpreting how people use "OCC" wrong. If you're not, I'm stumped. lol.

OOC = Out Of Character, usually, but the way you're using it sounds a bit different. I usually hear it in fanfiction, where Out Of Character almost always what it means.
