See, I had rhe exact opposite experience in my early RP days. I had crafted a Mary-Sue completely by accident. The GM took her, but the rest of the players were not happy. I loved my character. I loved their characters. I loved the story. But the OoC interactions were not fun and this was at the height of my depression. So, now I try really hard to create balanced characters. It wasn't my intent to make Katrina the clear underdog like she'sturning out to be, but she's not completely useless. So, right now I'm happy with her. Maybe over the course of the story she'll pull a magic sword or merge with Rolf or gain the wisdom of the ages. Or maybe she'll die forever. Whatever the case, I'm hoping to have fun.
