[quote=@JohnSolaris] 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 [url=http://www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm]Mary Sue test[/url] 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.

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.
