This makes me wonder if you know what a Mary Sue actually is, and if you just throw that phrase out to describe any character you don't like. My character obviously has very significant flaws, he does not automatically succeed at everything he tries to do, other characters don't automatically like him for no apparent reason, and he certainly isn't going to warp the whole plot to fit him. Yes, he's wish fulfillment, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing if the character is also well-written and has interesting, meaningful conflicts. If you just don't like any kind of wish fulfillment, period, then that's just you.

If you're leaving just because of this, without even seeing the character in action, go ahead. I can't force you to change your views if they don't agree with mine.

Edit: I just did a pretty well-known Mary Sue test for my character, and ended up getting 20 points, which says that he has a low chance of being a Mary Sue. No, of course the test isn't foolproof. But it should be somewhat helpful, at least. I do think I know what I'm doing, so if you think my character is a Mary Sue just because of the wish fulfillment, well, it's just your opinion.


I'm a mentor in two other roleplay sites, I've read 13 novels this year alone (on my 14th) and have been roleplaying for a long, long time. That doesn't mean much but I can tell what is what at least. Your character is the exact description of a Mary Sue, I don't mean to burst your bubble but even with all the people clamoring to get into your good books here just because they are desperate to be accepted - I will still tell you that your character is a matter-of-factly a Mary Sue.

Things like "don't know what love is" is not a disqualifier to be a Sue. It's not even a flaw! It certainly won't compensate turning into a magical Barney with wings that is somehow half elemental too(???) and can take down satellites by blinking his eyes. That's only the tip of the iceberg!

I could go on listing (I really could.) but I won't, I just wanted you to know that I'm not leaving unjustifiably. Maybe you might learn something because no one has ever told you this, maybe not. I just think I wasted so many hours on this when out of nowhere, you posted THAT. If you still think I'm being unreasonable to leave based on this, meh, it's my choice - not yours.
@JohnSolaris

Read the character you typed out, it feels very "writer's self fulfIlment" in style and an exact Mary sue. That can never be good in most roleplays. I'm leaving.
(This is Very Much a work in progress, I'm putting it here tentatively with no formatting.)

I've decided to reveal it when I think this is telligible enough, can't be having your eyes bleed from a wall of text now. Can I?

I've noticed a lack of activity too but you said most players are busy this week(s). I just thought to let you know that I'm still here.
I just thought I'd mention that your avatar @Constantine is very adorable and all, though everytime I look at it I feel like I just said something highly offensive to women and she's like "If really want to ...*blushes*" and all I can hear is my inner conciousness screaming AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
What's this? Crime? CRIME?! @71342 the moment, and I mean THE moment I am able to find your profile page, assess your recent activities and collect your personal information, I will be anonymously reporting them to the cyber police on accounts of 1st degree flattery and unlawful use of the phrase 'panzer tank'.


A spy! We cannot let our plans be ruined by the likes of you. Quick, @RomanAria! Use your latin powers to take it down while I distract him/her!

"Pazer tank! Panzer tank! Panzer tank!" /grabs Jyoliod's aggro

Honestly though, @RomanAria@TheMaster99@Jyoliod, I appreciate you guys coming to help solve this issue with all your technical knowledge and machine magic. In such short time too!

It makes me feel so welcomed, yet so contrastingly ...extra at the same time. (I have invested almost no skill points into coding and can't even lie about it If I need to.)

All I can do is move RpG a few dozen votes up on the top list of Roleplay websites on the world wide web.
Illuminati!


Really now, let's not jump to conclusions. Let us instead walk the crossing, marble layered paths of sensibility.
Now now, don't be modest. Latin is the favoured language of Hermetic Magic and what is Music but the favoured language of the Soul?

There are few things in the world more important than these two items. I'd say that you have quite the repetoir!
@Darcs The mystery remains unsolved.


@Arcanaut Very.
