Ah, yes, Mary Sues, one of the internet’s most infamous tropes.
If you don’t know, a “mary sue” is a type of character who has absolutely no flaws whatsoever. They are naturally good at everything they do, and every other character in the story either loves them or is jealous of them. If they are a fan character, they break the canon in some way (ex: being rainbow-colored, being way more powerful than everyone else, being an impossible hybrid, etc.)
So, yeah, you get the idea. The purpose of this thread isn’t to bash on mary sues that other people have made, but it’s to ask the question: have you ever made a mary sue?
I’ll go first:
In 6th grade, I made an oc for the web series BFB. For a little bit of context, some of the characters in this show are sentient numbers. There was this one specific number, Four, who was a fan-favorite—so much so that everyone made ripoff ocs of him called “foursonas”
I made a foursona called Blace. Now, not only was she a rip-off of four, but she was also a ripoff of a pokémon called Blacephalon. How exactly was she a mary sue, you ask? Well, she was an impossible hybrid (part number, part demon, part human), she had multiple forms and fire powers (which no other character in the show had), and she had no flaws at all.
So tell me, YWSers, have you ever made a mary sue?
