lozza's basically saying try not to make them well-acquainted with an official character, like related to or married or otherwise, and i agree with this to an extent if you want to make your character more original.

I also personally believe that abilities play a crucial role in a character's biography, just adding several different overpowered attributes to a character not only makes them somewhat unoriginal it kinda makes them a mary sue =/ try to add only a few abilities and/or powers and make sure they have prominent weaknesses that may even "involve" their abilities.

one more thing, and only if you feel like it, try making the character a different species than what your normally used to seeing in the sonic universe, like a honey badger, wolverine, or a bilby (lozza has one Cx) or even a mythical creatures if your interested in that sort of thing...
