I thought you guys might like a laugh...

I had to ask Gillar the other day what the heck a Mary Sue was. He wasn't quite sure. We had to go online and investigate. I laughed my ass off when I did discover what one was. Then I was terrified... please tell me I have never played a Mary Sue! One sticking point to the accepted description was that Mary Sue's have an unusual feature, such as an exotic eye color... *turns bright red* Let me go crawl in a box now.... sheesh.

That's one factor of what a Mary Sue can be.

In short, a Mary Sue is generally the most perfect, most awesome person EVER, and she is effortlessly beautiful, never sweats, never curses (or does so to impress and make those around her fall in love with her ~~*~*~*~*~EDGINESS~*~*~*~*~), is perfect, flawless, extremely sexual and sensual, and alluring without never needing to work it. And yet... they always, always need to be rescued.

Then you've got Gary Stus, which are the male versions. Who are perfect, innocent but sly, always rescuing the damsels in distress, flawless, awesome, blah blah blah blah blah.

There's no "one factor" that makes a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu. It's the overall combination.

This is one of my favourite sites ever, and might give you a better idea about what a Sue is.

Also... from what I know of your two characters, you've never played a Sue.

Is this a common internet term? I can think of several innocent, flawlessly beautiful, soulfully perfect people on another site. Sheesh... okay... makes me feel better about my own PC... she had flaws, lots of them, and they grew daily.

I find this article works best for me... the entire website is pure brilliance.

Read the various sub-categories and you will know who-is-who on the other game... but no, you haven't played a Mary Sue. Your PC may have Mary Sue traits (as does mine - tragic background, life-was-unfair-to-her angle) without actually being one.

Thats hysterical! I can't stop laughing.

Exactly. There you go. ^.~
