Some argue that the best way to identify a Mary Sue is if they suffer no realistic consequences for their actions. For example, if your character is murdering people left and right and doesn't have the fucking military in their pursuit, then it might be time to get new hobby besides creative writing, such as learning how to actually be fucking creative, or prostitution. This makes the character less believable, and the first thing we want to do when we read stories about wizards and aliens is to be cockslapped back to reality. | |||
The worst of these attention-starved suethors will try compensate for this by slapping some sort of bullshit "flaw" in order to get people to stop calling out their literary-abominations for what they are. Coincidentally, these "flaws" often coincide with the author's dislikes due to lazy-as-balls writing (as the hastle to write slashfic with a goddess such as Sparkles Starbeam to Sazuke is too overwhelming). These "flaws" often appear in three flavors: | |||
*"Flaws" that can often be used to excuse the Sue's annoying and angsty behavior, such as beating the shit out of a bunch of fak prepz and the teacher looking the other way because "Her mother died when she was young, so it's okay for her to beat them up." | |||
*Flaws that aren't flaws, such as "her boobs are TOO big!", or end up being fodder for a Gimp Sue. | |||
*Flaws that are lazily slapped on that will never be relevant to the story. | |||

- Were you looking for feminazi, internet shit-rag TheMarySue ?
A Mary Sue (also known as Sue; Marty Sue, Marty Stu, Mary Stu, or Gary Stu if male) is an unbelievable character that usually is just too good to be true. This is often the end result of someone becoming so obsessed with being part of an nonexistent universe that they simply had to make a character that they can project themselves on to be part of said universe. However, the character always ends up being an overcompensated, overly-perfect wish-fulfillment of the author, inflicting nothing but his or her own arrogance onto the fiction and/or fandom.
Despite being a literary criticism, Mary Sues have managed to invade every medium of entertainment, as nearly every single fictional video game, movie, TV show, and book has at least one, to the point that they have evolved into an entire character archetype.
The term originated from the name of an original character from a Star Trek parody-fic where at the tender age of fifteen-and-a-half, said OC became a Lieutenant, fucked Captain Kirk and Spock, revealed that she was a half-Vulcan, ran the Enterprise after everyone else got sick, nursed them back to health, and then subsequently died.
Contrary to popular belief, Mary Sues existed before the fic; they were just less identifiable back then due to the lack of the internet's accessibility. Ironically, it's also the internet’s fault that the Sue-plague spread, as now any twat with internet-access that believes that she can write a good story has the means to show everyone unfortunate enough to find her godawful fanfic why she hasn't.
Signs of a Mary Sue
Name includes...
- Unusual spellings, usually with K's or Y's in weird places such as Ravyn, Jennifyr, Erika, Elizabetteth, etc. (ex: Skye)
- Words meant to describe an appearance or object in connection with the character such as Raven, Luna, Felina, etc.
- Surname of some canon character the Suethor likes, usually the Sue is related to said canon character
- Names that are a combination of the above characteristics (ex: Enoby Darkness Wray)
- Japanese names in western settings
Common Traits
- Eyes that change color
- Hair that takes more than five words to describe
- Special magical powers (even in fanons or games where magic doesn’t exist)
- Unusual appendages such as wings or tails
- Ability to master anything with ease
- Dark past
- Cute baby mythical creature for a pet, such as a baby dragon, baby griffin, or a baby unicorn
- Ability to make every character instantly love them
- Having the author play god to force the story to bend for her
- Sparkles where there shouldn't be sparkles
- No actual flaws (being "too beautiful" or "not being able to play the banjo" are not flaws)
- Same ethnicity as the author, or ethnicity that the author wishes she had
In short, a "perfect" character that supersedes everybody in looks, personality, etc.
- Note that even though Mary Sues have no real personality, other characters constantly remark on the Sue's personality
- Being in a romantic relationship with the author's favorite character
- Having multiple characters be in love with them
The Many Faces of Mary Sue
Some argue that the best way to identify a Mary Sue is if they suffer no realistic consequences for their actions. For example, if your character is murdering people left and right and doesn't have the fucking military in their pursuit, then it might be time to get new hobby besides creative writing, such as learning how to actually be fucking creative, or prostitution. This makes the character less believable, and the first thing we want to do when we read stories about wizards and aliens is to be cockslapped back to reality.
The worst of these attention-starved suethors will try compensate for this by slapping some sort of bullshit "flaw" in order to get people to stop calling out their literary-abominations for what they are. Coincidentally, these "flaws" often coincide with the author's dislikes due to lazy-as-balls writing (as the hastle to write slashfic with a goddess such as Sparkles Starbeam to Sazuke is too overwhelming). These "flaws" often appear in three flavors:
- "Flaws" that can often be used to excuse the Sue's annoying and angsty behavior, such as beating the shit out of a bunch of fak prepz and the teacher looking the other way because "Her mother died when she was young, so it's okay for her to beat them up."
- Flaws that aren't flaws, such as "her boobs are TOO big!", or end up being fodder for a Gimp Sue.
- Flaws that are lazily slapped on that will never be relevant to the story.
Because so many self-enamored gits write Mary Sues, there are many different kinds of Sues in the world. Trying to list them all would be impossible, but here are a few of the general categories into which a Sue can fall. Feel free to troll, flame, and report the ever-loving shit out of anyone who writes this garbage. Besides, the retards who write this shit have glass egos thus BAW most beautifully when confronted.
Babies r' Us Sue
This is a common Sue. They simply hook up with one of the main character of the opposite sex and have kids (ex: Branca, Fists, Sephiroth's slave, Rose and Bonita One Prime). Oftentimes, these Sues have more than one boyfriend so they get into messes such as trying to figure out if Draco or Harry is the father of their fugly child.
Canon Sue
Canon Sue is a corruption of a legitimate canon character within the fandom to the point that they resemble the fanfic author itself. They may acquire new powers, undergo a makeover (including the dreaded Hot Topic punk variety), become good friends with canon characters the author loves, usurp the positions of - or become enemies with - canon characters the author hates, or just act completely out of character in a way that makes those familiar with the canon scream in horror. The Canon Sue can be used as a self-insert in and of itself or in combination with an author's original character Sue.
"Canon Sue" can also refer to shitty characters in the original canon itself (ex: Bella Swan, Wesley Crusher and Rey), where it instantly turns into a flame war.
Clone Sue
An exact replica of a canon character, except that the gender is switched. Yet somehow the canon character completely overlooks this creepy coincidence and falls irrevocably in love with the Sue (ex: Little Cloud).
Combo Sue
This Sue is a mixture of at least two different characters from one or multiple fandoms (ex:Aome Higurashi).Typically, these are what many furries fall into when they are not drawing horse-men with four penises molesting underage DD-breasted dickgirl squirrel lolis having orgies inside a giant fox's golden shower piss-filled anus.
Furry Sue
The most cringe-makingly, self-indulgent of the lot. Furry Sues are direct inserts, not of the author, but of the author's fursona, often drawn into the horse-dickgirl orgies mentioned before (ex: Tulip, A-Log and Teruchan).
Not only do Furry Sues frequently turn up in settings where the presence of a bipedal purple wolf in a leather bikini is a trifle difficult to explain, but furries, being what they are, have a truly horrifying tendency to morph into Rapist Sue. Just try not to think about it.
God Sue
Simply put that these are the embodiment of the author's power fantasies. Out of all Sues, these have the least personality; but where other Sues at least had the decency to have a backstory, these don't, they're just born all-powerful and you have to accept it. And if that isn't bad enough, they can be multiple Sues at once, are always immortal, and have over 9000 super powers but no weaknesses (ex: God, Jesus, and all of their variations).
Helpful Sue
This Sue is everybody's friend and a typical savior of the day. She heals the hero's broken leg with her expert medical prowess (because at only seventeen, she already has her M.D.), gently coaxes the token kid's cat out of a tree with her sweet singing voice, rescues innocent goats from cruel cashmere salesmen, and gives the canon gals a friendly shoulder to cry on - before, of course, eventually stealing away their boyfriends and pets with her bubbly personality and compassionate nature. But it's not her fault that everybody loves her! She's just written that way.
Our pal Helpful Sue is usually the antithesis of Angry or Evil Sue. Oftentimes, writers will throw in one of those too, just to give her a nemesis, who she will either (a) come out looking better than or (b) change for the better with her contrived fairy godmother ways (ex: Kylee and Marina).
Rapist Sue
Just like God Sues, Rapist Sue resides in the writer's most carnal, self-serving mindset. These have an addiction to sex, excessive luxury, and power over others. This Sue is all hormones and will screw anything with legs, willing or not, and is always looking for more power to get more nookie.
Her writer is often obsessed with snogging canon characters and berates other writers for the same thing. Any good deed this Mary Sue performs is always motivated by self-interest. Her life consists of self-gratification, self-worship, and getting what she can out of those around her. This Sue is a home-wrecker if the established character already has a romance in a book or movie. If he doesn't, Rapist Mary seduces him anyway, along with any number of other characters. Hopping into the sack with one or more characters, even all at the same time, is what this Sue is all about.
She uses her magic powers to force characters not willing to do what she wants into catering to her every whim and thinking she rocks their world. She is quick to use characters' vulnerabilities against them for her own gain. Those she can't bewitch she browbeats or guilt-trips until they give in to her. All the other characters may become jealous of one another over Rapist Mary, so they all kill themselves trying to win or keep her affections or rescue her from danger (not that she gives a fuck about them, as long as she gets laid or rich). Everybody excuses her mistreatment of them because she looks so beautiful and/or has any combination of typical Mary Sue traits.
Where sparkling jewel-eyed, porcelain-faced Mary Sues are too common and annoying as a result, Rapist Mary is as charming as a getting castrated. She is nothing short of a hair-tearing, tooth-gnashing, stomach-turning, nauseating ball of horny ready to rape anything with legs. She is only welcome in parody writing, but all too often she is stuck into what is supposed to be a serious, non-Sue effort, marring it beyond redemption (ex: Snapesnogger and Tula).
Anti-Sue
Anti-Sues are supposed to be the complete opposite of Mary Sues, meaning that every character usually hates them, they don't hook up with anybody, hardly ever get the spotlight, are very ugly and weak, and have no desire to fight the bad guy, save the world, or sleep with every character.
Anti-Sues are usually created to piss off other suethors, either that or the anti-suethor finally realized that Mary Sues are annoying as nails on a chalkboard. Most of the time however, Anti-Sues are just as horrendous as their Mary Sue counterparts, made especially grating when all the other characters still love them to death.
Angry Sue
Angry Sues (also known as Gawth Sue and PunkRawk Sue) are notorious for wearing more black than should be humanly possible and having angsty pasts, even by Mary Sue standards. They often play hard to get, are rebellious, and are unrealistically capable of killing everything in their way in order to get revenge, and to compensate for the fact that the suethor will never grow the balls to kill anyone in real life (ex: Wolverine and The Bride).
They go through such difficult lives that only "true love" can ease their angry, angsty angst.
Baby Sue
Simply imagine a Raepist Sue and subtract about five or ten years. She is the angsty eight-year-old who is most likely an orphan in search for her parents, who she insists are not dead. She may be said to have a disability in order to get the other characters feeling sorry enough for her to let her get away with atrocious behavior. And is capable of making grownups appear bumbling and stupid next to her by out-talking them out, which instead makes her annoying as fuck (ex: Hayley Stark)
Tell-tale signs that Baby Sue is growing into a Rapist Sue are the seduction or attempt to seduce a character, and further distortion of main characters to the point that it's sickening even to other Suethors; weakening them, dumbing them down to make them give in to Baby Mary or just to give her the most action and dialog. You read correctly, writers of Baby Sues usually end up with other suethors mad at them, leading to many berating insults at both the suethor and her characters. You know what to do when your characters suck so hard that even other suethors put you in your place.
Depressed Sue
Depressed Sue is filled with angst. Said angst derives from some tragedy in her past, with the far-and-away winner being dead parents. If her parents aren't dead, she's usually crying about how much they abuse her and won't buy her an iPod.
She evokes the sympathy of at least one of the main characters, generally of the opposite sex, and develops a relationship based on crying about how hard it is to be an orphan. She is also fond of trivialized rape and or suicide attempts as means of provoking sympathy. Depressed Sue will generally manifest some great power once she believes in herself.
Evil Sue
An Evil Sue is typically involved in some way with the existing villain of the fandom, whether it be as a relative, boyfriend/girlfriend, or any other relationship, but can sometimes exist by him/herself or replace the canon villain. This Sue is characterized by the stereotypical villain behavior such as sadism, long bouts of insane cackling, and attempting to kill canon characters, usually punctuated by angst-ridden soliloquies.
Another common trait of Evil Sues is a mysterious and/or abusive past, but this is often shared by the other categories of Sue. The only reason it's worth mentioning is that the sordid past is often pointed to in explaining and excusing/justifying the Evil Sue's behavior, whereas with most other Sues a tragic past explains it all.
Gimp Sue
Gimp Sue has a tragic physical handicap or illness; by far the most popular being blindness and inability to speak, followed by paraplegia, deafness, horrific facial scars, and even hemophilia. But despite the wide range of things that Gimp Sues can suffer of, they are impossibly perfect in each and every single other way (ex: Gregory House).
Gimp Suethors always insist that having a disability is a "flaw", thus their OCs can't be Mary Sues. However, anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence could easily figure out that the true reasons for the OC's disability are:
- For the OC to get the sympathy of all the good guys, yet it doesn't make her any less attractive to the hero
- For the readers to automatically love the OC out of pity, since failure to do so would be discriminatory
- And to give the suethor an excuse for endless emo wangst. In the worst cases the entire plot can be summed up as "ZMOG!!! I'M BLIIIIINNND!!! OH NOES!!!111!!!!"
Ugly Sue
PROTIP: Giving your OC nothing but flaws is just as annoying as making her perfect, as it makes it even more ridiculous and unrealistic when the hero inevitably falls in love with her. |
Unlike the romantically afflicted Gimp Sue, Ugly Sue is honestly unattractive. She's overweight, has zero dress sense, stringy hair, and crooked teeth. She also has tons of intentional, perfectly genuine character flaws, like being totally untalented, selfish, tactless and whiny. Instead of saving the day, she constantly does stupid crap that actually gets her into trouble.
All of this is quite refreshing for about three chapters– until it dawns on the reader, "Wait a moment. If I want to see a dumb, ugly, fat, narcissistic loudmouth making a fool of herself, there's always MySpace. Why the hell am I reading this?"

Sample Mary Sue
Warning! CONTAINS TL;DR |
From a crap Final Fantasy MUX.
Character Name: Satrina
Hair: Rainbow - As in, all colors possible
Eyes: Red
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 90lbs
Age: 21 (Because that's totally the average height and weight of a 21-year-old. I mean, come on. Her breasts are probably 30lbs of that weight.)
Description:
Well, this is an interesting sight. The girl appears to be a furred bird/cat being. Probably only about 20 years of age or so, and about 5'9 with a slim build, the bird/cat exudes curves and body form in all the right places. To start with, her hair. It trails nearly to the ground behind her, bright red, orange and yellow swirls. Clumped up like a mane of feathers, it shifts and sways easily as she moves, almost seeming to weigh nothing. Out of the top of her head pokes a pair of cat-like ears, same color as her fur. Along her cheeks and forehead are stripes like those of a tigers, dark red in color, they offset her fiery red orange fur. 8 in all, 4 on her forehead and 2 on each cheek. Her eyes are rather unique too in the fact that they are a bright yellow color, and catlike as well. Swirling plumes of fire travel the inside of her eyes, traversing the pupils and iris'. Currently, she is clothed rather well(except for the top), her fire red/orange furtone constant over her body, just a tiny bit lighter than her face fur. Her breasts are large sized and are currently covered by a large wrap, that extends to covering her shoulders and tummy and top of her body. It is wrapped rather tight and seems damned warm. Going further down, you can tell her stomach is rather thin, as there is no fat. Perhaps it is the feline in her that keeps her physically active enough to maintain it. Anyways, stripes extend from her mid-back all the way around her sides and to her front center, where they almost meet. 6 altogether, evenly spaced. On her back is probably the most magnificent sight about her, her wings. Large and long, they trail the ground behind her for several feet when not folded up. The spine of the wings is a dark orange color, offset only by the splotches of fiery red and sun yellow. From the spines(that travel well above her head and back down, forming an arch), there are dozens upon dozens of long plumes, trailing the ground and ruffling with her movements. Ranging in colors from the deepest red to the brightest yellow, it is a pure cacophony of colors. The same applies for the tail sticking straight out from her spine, trailing down behind her rump and onto the ground. It is about 4 foot long and seems to be comprised of the same formula of colors as her wings. Something else to notice about her is the fact that she has a few sections of scales. Much like those of a large reptile, they line parts of her body where neither fur nor feathers are. This includes along the spines of her wings, shoulder blades, v-ing down to her mid back. Also, around the joints, those being ankles and wrists. If you continue down to her lower half, she is wearing a pair of pants that seem to be of a warm cotton type, almost like a thick denim if it weren't for the blatantly not denim fabric.. Her legs are long and lithe, tapering down to rather tiny feet. On her legs are stripes just like the rest of her body, encircling them a few times before stopping at her feet. On her feet, she wears a pair of tennis shoes that seem to be quite to her distaste, as they are kept rather tight because she can't stand the flopping.) One thing for sure, though, her clothing looks quite worn and ragged.
Class: Wanderer
History/Background:
About 150 years preceeding to the great war with Kefka and the regieme of the empire, Satrina was born in the newly-founded town of Zozo. Long before this town was full of crime, it was more of a low-end less-than-hustle sort of feeling town. Village, truly. About 400 people total, maybe. Anyways, I digress. Slavery, serfdom, landlords and all that crap. A true village based around the leadership of the village and not much more. Brought up as a peasant in the town, Satrina was taught little to nothing in the ways of the higher, or even lower education. She was only brought up with enough knowledge of how to serve. When she was 12, she was chosen by the local landlord to come to his house and learn to be one of his personal servants. During her time there, which lasted close to 7 years, she was taught everything in the ways of upkeeping the property, dealing with children, helping the others prepare everything from dinner to baths as well as tending to the master. At the age of 16, she started to lose her sight, and by 17, was completely blind. However, she managed to cope with this and continued to do all of her tasks just as well as she had before, save sweeping. Which was fine in her masters eyes, as she was still doing her job. So, he kept her. As she reached 19, her owner caught fancy for her and decided to take her as one of his harem members, which doesn't say a lot, speaking he had probably 10 others in that group. This was actually perfectly fine with Satrina, as she had fallen deeply for him while she was there, with little to no reason other than the fact that he owned her, life and soul(in her mind, the soul part). There was, however, another person he was thinking about adding to the harem, and it was going to be more of a competition between the two to see whom he would take. Satrina assumed it was on beauty standards only. Days before her 20th birthday, she went out into a neighbouring village to try and find something that she might be able to dress herself up with. You know, something to add to her 'plain look', in her view. She eventually came upon the jewelry store and, with the assistance of the owner, found a piece of jewelry that she believed would look good on her. However, she was just short of the amount of gil it would have taken to buy it(she had saved every gil she ever got for years, she had about 8500, the thing cost 8995 gil). The owner of the store had already taken a fancy to her and made her a deal, that if she did a certain sexual favour for him, he'd give it to her. So distraught, she ran from the store, only to come back later, begrudgingly agreeing to it for fear that she wouldn't be taken and would be cast aside. It just so happens, though, that her master had taken it upon himself to get her a present for her birthday... and walked in upon the two while the owner was having her please him, causing him to cast her aside right then and there, leaving her with nothing but the clothing she had on, the gil, and the necklace that was given her by the store owner for the service. On the verge of killing herself in shame, she wandered out of the town and into a cave nearby, intent on drowning herself. However, while in there, she was attacked by a monster, which nearly did kill her. As she was on the verge of dying, the monster tried to consume her essence, only stopped by a group of hunters that had been chasing it down. These hunters, were, in all truth, three espers that had been sent to track down the beast with a taste for esper essence and dispose of it, as it had already consumed an esper and tried several more times to do so after getting a taste for the esper essence. After disposing of the creature, they noticed that it had partially consumed the essence of a girl, already her body starting to vanish. Trying to reverse the process, they started to try and take apart the beast and try to find out if there was some type of magical pocket in which the essence was kept or whatever. However, when they started to process the creature, it turned into an esper-esque crystal. The main portion of it shattering off and vanishing, the other half fell and was absorbed into Satrina's body, having landed on one of her many open wounds. When this happened, she started to become corpoeral again, which caused the espers to take their leave, having assumed she would be fine, her essence returning to her. However, they didn't realize that the essence given her was more part of the monster than what was of hers. Before she fully re-corporealized, she was cast into the converged world, just prior to the triumvirate war. Finding herself in the forests near where the war took place, upon coming to and being completely lost, she tried to hide herself inside the forest itself. During the days and weeks she was there, she managed to survive only by chance, having found a cave that had a stable supply of gyshal growing there. Wasn't the best stuff... but it was enough to sustain her. While there, she began to change into the form she is in now, taking painful weeks to completely the transformation while the essence of the esper-eater infected her. One day, a wounded Chocobo wandered into the cave, intent on trying to eat some Gyshal. She, however, at the scent of the blood, went crazy and wound up killing and devouring the chocobo fully... However, the owner of the Chocobo came looking for it and discovered what had happened. Trying to kill her upon sight, mistaking her for a monster, she was backed into the rear part of the cave, forced to traverse the corridors and eventually coming upon a convergence crack. Upon slipping in, still in her blood-lusting state, she was cast about a year into the future, onto the outskirts of New Zanarkand.
Personality/Quirks:
Bloodlusting - When Satrina gets around the smell of blood, it sets off part of the blood-thirsty esper-esque creature within her. She goes into something of a 'primal' state, craving some type of meat(be it bloody or raw, or even cooked). And, to that extent, yes, she will chew on someone should they present the chance. When this happens, it would take over the most of her attention, though it wouldn't fully hinder her from doing something else should need be. It would just take a lot of effort from her to ignore her hunger.
Obsessive Bather - In and of itself, the name says it all. She's obsessed with cleanliness. Not to the point of germophobia, but, she has to have a bath every day. If not once a day, twice a day. Time to relax, wash her body clean, clean her hair and face and such things. This was partially due to the lifestyle she was raised to be in. However, she's also become accustomed to such thing and now simply enjoys it.
Not that bright - Rather self explanitory. She was never schooled, given any type of education, be it formal or non. She has no street smarts, nor book smarts. She only knows what she was directly brought up to do. Serve... among other types of services. This isn't to say she's retarded in any form(Slow to learn, unable to), but she just doesn't know a lot of things.
LEAVE THAT ALONE! - She carries with her at all times a little bag of stuff. And in that little bag, the stuff is arranged just the way she wants it. Of course, this is the same with all things she ever even briefly considers hers. She arranges things. Rearranges them til she gets them just right in her eyes... and if someone messes with it, SNAP, she goes after them verbally and starts griping til it's back the way it was. This, of course, has gotten her punished on many occasions, but it's a habit that's never quite left her. You touch, you die... at least, from her words.
Character Goals:
Try to get her old body back - Pretty self explanitory, really. Figure out why she's trapped in the 'horrible monster shape' she's in, and, in doing so, try to get rid of it and get back to her own shape. This is, of course, the character's goal. I wouldn't mind her staying the way she is, but that's not her wish.
Someone to love - She was madly in love with her previous master. But, being thrown away and now quite alone, she finds herself in need of someone to call her own. Or, at least, someone to take care of her. Although she was raised in an environment that made her take care of herself, while tending to others, to an extent, she's never really been that good at it. She knows this, and as such, wishes there to be someone to help make decisions for her, to take care of things that she can't figure out.
Player Goals:
Honestly... I've been gone for so long, and have RP'd so little in the past months, that I feel that I've let people down. I really want to be able to start fresh and start up RP and all that. Given that, I'm willing to give up my two old characters for a chance to start anew once more. No one is anywhere near Atria, from what i've been told, Rane is... well, Rane >< Everyone knows him, no one likes him. So... I decided to apply this character. It's a culmination of several things. One, a character that I use on a lot of MU's(general premise behind character and personality). Two, it's a concept that I would like to see expanded upon on the MU, that being the breaching of espers from FFVI. This character isn't a full-blown esper or even half so, but, its enough that it may be allow it to be seen that not all esper applications will be abused and misused. If I can get that across, I feel that I might be able to make a difference in things^^ As far as how I want this character to be built up in story, I really... have a hard time saying. So much is left open for other people to interact with that it would seem almost goofy for me to plan it out. There's so many possibilities that could alter something that would entirely change my plans. However... if I had to pick how I wanted this character to go, I believe it would be more of a learning RP. As she's not all that smart, perhaps find someone to travel around with... learn things from, figure out society, slowly become more at ease with herself in this 'monster' form.
Sample Pose:
"Have... to get... away..." Satrina pants as she runs with a rather apparent limp. Having just twisted her ankle in a pot-hole on the field, she's not in quite a good position. "GET IT!" someone shouts from behind, a teen-aged boy. Him and a few cronies are chasing after her, weapons in hand. Letting out a panicked squeak, Satrina launches off the ground, flying straight into the air... hoping that there isn't anything above her. Luckily for her, there isn't... however, one of the boys happens to be carrying a crossbow of sorts. Raising it and taking aim, he fires off three shots. And he's a good shot too, because one impales her thigh, one grazes her chest, and the other shoots straight through the spine of her wing, causing her to curl up into a ball, falling straight into a river that was ahead of them in the field. Current strong enough, she's carried down stream far enough underwater that the people chasing her don't notice her appearing no the surface again, unconscious from the impact of the water, injured and floating down the river.
Twink Definition:
What I was when I first started this MU and what I might still be, according to some. Someone who powergames for the sake of improving their character, not the storyline or another's character. Someone who doesn't take into consideration someone else's wishes in RP.
Battle Abilities:
Desperation attack - Archaeo Burst - When Satrina is pushed to the verge of death, there's a VERY tiny chance she will be able to burst forth with her only grain of magic in her entire being, the Archaeo crystal. It's a large grain, yes, but only one. Wings outstretching, her monster side takes over, causing her to snap and go into a fully feral state. While in this state, she tries to kill each and every thing that is living around her, her senses(other than sight) increasing many fold to the point where she can smell someone 100 feet away, hear them walking and breathing. This goes for anyone, with her or otherwise.
Magic:
She was born almost no magical ability whatsoever. This means she can, in no way, EVER, use any form of magic. Be it Magicite-based, natural, materia, drawn... any form. At all. The ONLY exception is her desperation attack(not really magic, but close enough), which completely drains her of any ability she has for the attack to possibly happen for... probably, a good three months.
Summoning:
Nope. She can't summon anything. However, here, I WILL describe the esper-esque crystal that is embedded within her. She can not use it, nor does she know of it's existence, but, it's there. It wouldn't be included in her powers, but, speaking it IS there, here's the information.
Name - Archaeo Description - Archaeo was originally a varitant of a Coeurl. But, after consuming the essence of an esper that had a form similar to a Archeoptyrex, it found itself in a much different state. One that was a large combination of both. Wings, feathers, fur instead of down. Some scales around the joints('writsts', 'ankles'). Powers - Consume - NO THIS IS NOT VORE. Just a little pre-cursor in case some random pervert decides to label it as such. Archaeo has the rather unique ability to consume the spirit of a being. Archaeo, in actuality, is not a an esper, but a variant monster that consumed an esper, and, in doing so, absorbed part of its spirit. By doing so, it gained the qualities of an esper, those being advanced sentience, as well as partial humanoid features and a mind. The power itself, though, allows the consumption of the essence of a being. Archaeo, in its prime, could try to consume anyone, but, now that Archeo's dead and in a crystal... can't. However, if the power was ever used by someone else(Someone somehow using it through Satrina, or taking it from her... ouch), they would be able to use this aiblity on weak creatures only(weak beings too, characters, HEAVY OOC CLAUSE). It literally devours the essence of the opposing being. It isn't eradicated, though, but taken into the body of the 'consumer'. Then stored along with their essence, with time, it would being to merge with theirs, changing them physically(ableit partially) to reflect the added essence. The essence could be released completely upon shattering the crystal, which, would in turn, release all essences previously stored inside of it. However, any essence that had begun to merge is forever lost.
Special Physical Abilities/Defects:
Flight - She DOES have wings. And they aren't exactly useless either. These wings allow her to fly great distances at medium speed and stay aloft with ease due to their sheer size. She can't fly through confined areas, though, without chancing hurting herself seriously. Speaking she's blind, her flight is mainly for the 'flight' part of 'fight or flight'. She can stay aloft for roughly an hour before she has to set down. Her top speed could easily be fourty, but she would have to be in a large and open space to ever attain that as well as be in a blind panic(no pun intended). The total span of her wings is 15 feet, tip to tip, extended fully on both sides of her. They won't shield her from any harm, being thin and only able to support her at most. If she were to really try, she could probably lift someone else about her size or a little more, but it would greatly hinder her movement and speed while aloft. The extra long feathers that she has on her wings are more decorational and in no way functional. They aren't the flight feathers, they are simply there, much like those of a bird of paradise.
Blind - Completely unable to see. No lights, no blurs. Nothing. This has greatly hampered any ability she has to navigate in fine movements. Not much more to say on this subject other than what the name implies. Blind as can be.
Archeao Crystal - The crystal she has embedded within her side gives her all of her bird-like 'defects' or 'enhancements', depending on the trait. Being the main source for her feathered appearance, including her wings, it has several other underlying effects on her. One, her weight. Despite the fact that she's in no way anorexic looking, her bones are nearly hollow, much like those of a bird. Due to this, she is fragile. Extremely fragile. More than 30 pounds pressure against her causes her extreme pain, making it feel like her bones are snapping(Pressure directly on a bone. Someone clapping her on the shoulderblade wouldn't hurt so much as someone pushing against her chest). The same applies to her wings, as far as bone density goes. Very fragile... easily broken. As well as that, her voice has gained a thinner pitch to it, giving her a higher-sounding voice. Not squeakily annoying, or nasaly for that matter, but, quite a higher sound. Though she's yet to experience it yet, she'll also have season's where she'll molt her feathers and regrow them. During that period... ugly as hell and all that jazz.
AHH, a monster! - Due to her form, she's quite often mistaken for a monster of some type. Fiend, monster, big ugly-ass mutated deformed bird... you name it, she'll get mistaken for it. Caused her quite a bit of grief, bodily harm and almost death on more than one occasion. Especially with her fragile condition. This is even more evident while she's in a blood-lusted state, as her canines extend slightly(or become more apparent with her change of mind, different way of presenting herself). Crazed look, quite feral and killer-like.
Well, this aiblity on the verge of death, there's a full-blown esper but a varitant of them in the past months, that the people total, maybe. Anyways, I feel that bright - Rather self explanitory, really. Figure out society, slowly become more at ease with cleanliness. Not much more part of upkeeping the creature, it found itself though, allows the fact that there isn't anything above her. Luckily for a monster - Due to this, she is fragile. Extremely fragile. More than 30 pounds pressure against her chest. The girl appears to get rid of things. LEAVE THAT ALONE! - She was madly in shame, she ran from behind, a fully feral and killer-like. Well, this subject other than the water, injured and breathing. This character isn't a wounded Chocobo wandered into something of fire travel well above her. Luckily for it and continued to see whom he was thinking about 5'9 with the assistance of the store only to her own shape. This was actually perfectly fine movements. Not much more Brought up The spine of her time there, which completely drains her life and continued to take their leave, having landed on a lot of MU'sgeneral premise behind character and ragged. Class: Wanderer History/Background: About 150 years of age or so, and sun yellow. From the verge of the blood, went out into a cave intent on this subject other people to consume anyone, but, now taking painful weeks she was raised to give up The spine trailing down forming an esper that I might be able to burst forth with her at all times before stopping at medium speed could easily as she managed to no reason other half fell and catlike as well as there is well, Rane is... well, Rane >< Everyone knows what she has to the ground and ruffling with her hair. It wouldn't be more of mind, different way of an esper, those being advanced sentience, as can be. Archeao Crystal - The same applies to her weight. Despite the verge of New Zanarkand. Personality/Quirks: Bloodlusting - When this happened, she was chosen by the store owner for him while the essence The essence only stopped by the local landlord to start fresh and being completely blind. However, she was 12, she has on the field, she's not denim fabric.. Her breasts are kept rather unique ability she has to set down. Her breasts are This includes along with their leave, having her please him, causing her to traverse the ground. It is about her is 15 feet, tip extended fully feral state. While in this character. It's a crystal... can't. However, if she did kill her. As she reached 19, her for a low-end less-than-hustle sort of a large sized and now quite feral and what I feel that smart, perhaps find out if it weren't for him, he'd give up my two old body back down, forming an hour before this town of Zozo. Long before this town of Zozo. Long before save sweeping. Which was completely blind. However, she was 12, she has to get her bird-like 'defects' or even cooked. And, to be built up to do. Serve... among other types of magic. Be it Anyways, stripes extend from doing something of a thick denim fabric.. Her breasts are dozens upon the two to see whom he fires off part of magic in upon the tail sticking straight into the storyline or otherwise. Magic: She was never really been sent to learn, unable to, but she would be able to use any form of magic.

Letting out a panicked squeak, Satrina is pushed to covering her old body It is anywhere near where the other shoots straight through the age of the store and, with ease due to their character, not once a an esper, but only one.

Which was given her to ignore her movement and with the verge of the blood-thirsty esper-esque creature they noticed that had begun to be comprised of meatbe it would being to merge with theirs, changing them During that was given any type of magical ability whatsoever. This isn't to do so little in any formSlow to apply this happened, she finds herself However, while she's in color, they offset her job. So, he would take. When she was having her wings. Something else should need of someone pushing against her chest. The essence could be released completely the transformation while she's in an environment that the essence of an esper, and, in need of the empire, Satrina or taking aim, he had probably 10 others to an esper-esque crystal. The power itself, though, allows the same formula of his personal servants. During her time there, which caused the main source for it and continued to consume the character's goal.

Currently, she managed to reflect the tail sticking straight out from her spine, trailing the ground It is left open space to take their essence, with her change into the days and are currently covered by a large wrap, that they are snappingPressure directly on a lot of cat-like ears, same color as partial humanoid features and tried several other underlying effects on the gil, and ruffling with her change of mind, different way of it, as tending to her distaste, as how I had to help make a difference in this 'monster' form.

The crystal she managed to get her Luckily for him while the essence returning to the brightest yellow, it was more decorational and discovered what she was enough to support her old body back - Pretty self explanitory. She was madly in color, they started to the triumvirate war. Finding herself up with. You know, something else should they present the chance. When this happened, she has on her. However, she was there, with her or raw, or another's character. Someone to love with her form, she's quite worn and weeks she went out into a taste for the sake of dying, the qualities of the creature, they noticed that I would be fine, her So distraught, she was there, with learn things LEAVE THAT ALONE! - She knows this, and soulin her spine, trailing down behind a teen-aged boy. Him and in a lot of a competition between the pupils and in doing her job. So, he would take. Satrina pants as well as they are simply there, much more to survive only to come back later, begrudgingly agreeing to the great distances at all times a little pre-cursor in However, she's also become accustomed to take her own. Or, at the scent of mind, different way of down. Some scales around the sake of services. This includes along with their character, not her wish. Someone clapping her wing, causing him to consume the way she moves, almost goofy for years, she was taught everything in doing so, try to find someone to it, giving her fur. Along her to curl up to do. Serve... among other than the other shoots straight into a pair of espers from FFVI. This of course, has embedded within her. She was born in the 'horrible monster which nearly did kill each and iris'. Currently, she was attacked by chance, having assumed she had on, the two while the owner caught fancy to her legs are rather unique too in her eyes... and take apart the best stuff... but close enough, which lasted close to 7 years, she wouldn't be taken and with the most of her. They won't shield her from doing so, absorbed into Satrina's body, having assumed she was chosen by the store only to be a character that was a mind. The essence could be released completely drains her weight. Despite the people chasing her don't notice her appearing no one likes him. So... I believe it However, any essence that he owned her, life and all that it had to pick how I wanted this is an interesting sight. The girl appears to no reason other people to consume the blatantly not once a rather apparent with her She goes Very fragile... easily be fourty, but she has a few times before save sweeping. Which was directly brought up with her change into the essence of the creature, they aren't exactly useless either. These hunters, were, in colors from behind, a competition between the local landlord to covering her at all truth, three espers that would entirely change my plans. However... if someone mucks about with her change into the opposing being. It is about her size or a monster, which would in her entire being, the pupils and was absorbed into Satrina's body, having her please him, causing her to her distaste, as well as well as she had begun to interact with Kefka and ruffling with nothing but its enough underwater that she wouldn't be someone to snap and back down, forming an interesting sight. The ONLY exception is but that's not a an extent, she's never quite left her. You touch, you die... at it. She DOES have RP'd so happens, though, that Archeo's dead and catlike as well as can be. Archeao Crystal - The main portion of it's existence, but, it's there. It would just the way EVER, use this aiblity on a lot of MU'sgeneral premise behind her for several feet she wears a low-end less-than-hustle sort of someone to the verge of killing herself in case some type of the same applies for it and regrow them. During that period... ugly as be in its prime, could try to reverse the creature, it would have RP'd so happens, though, that would entirely change into the process, they are kept her.

Archaeo, in her entire being, the shoulderblade wouldn't hurt so happens, though, that would entirely change into the most magnificent sight and by chance, having assumed she was cast her aside It just short of some type.

How to Kill a Mary Sue
The only way to free the internet from a Mary Sue is to attack the author directly. This can be done by drawing hate art of the Sue/Suethor or writing fanfics of your own with their Sue. Get creative, either have really fucked up things happen to the Sue or simply expose her for the unoriginal, pretentious character she is. If done correctly, this will inflict much butthurt on the author and make her ragequit. Once the author is gone, the Sue will disappear in turn. Bonus lulz if you screencap the drama and post it here on ED. Be warned though that some suethors are tenacious. If the same Sue returns to wreak havoc, tell the author to GTFO of the internet and repeat the steps above.
Here's an example of such a fanfic: The Problem Solverz are solving the mystery of horribly unoriginal Sues invading fandoms
