My formative roleplaying years were spent mainly in Harry Potter, so my 2edgy4u phase also came with a heaping side of long lost relations...that are also [i]American[/i]. They were basically Diet Enoby--all the darkness and plot derailing bullshit taste with none of the goffik calories. But my OCs weren't Mary Sue's, I told myself, because I didn't use [i]popular[/i] celebrities for their PBs. That totally makes up for the needlessly tragic back stories and dramatic adventures that always seemed to end with the Totally-Not-a-Mary-Sue single handedly saving Hogwarts. Totally. Good times. I mean, I look back and cringe now, but I had a blast with those terrible characters.
