I looked up the meaning of expy. Just one more time. An expy is a character bearing many similarities to previously established characters of various other stories and series, but with enough of a distinguishing difference to avoid being known as a rip-off. Is this correct?

If so, when you say to use an expy in my story, I am still a little confused. If you don't mean OCs bearing notable similarities to characters of other series, what do you mean? Can you give me an example of how an expy would be applied to fanfiction?
