Personalities and Talents
Here we go everyone, we're into the sensitive areas of Mary-Sue characters!Brace yourselves, there's probably going to be a lot of hate coming my way! My shield is ready! Is yours?
Basically, the point of an OC's personality is to figure out how you want your character to come across. Will they be the shy and timid kind? Strong and determined? How you want to portray your character is completely in your hands.
If you're putting your character in one character, try to keep the same or similar tone in what you use.
And guess what? People can't do this.
Seriously, I've seen OC's that have a personality where she is shy and afraid, but also brave and outgoing.
WHAT?!
Uhh...
What?
Like, what?
How is that possible?
You're either shy and afraid, OR brave and outgoing. HOW can you be both? Do you have split personalities?
I'm just... okay.
But it's not just the OC personalities. Oh no.
If you think that's bad, try RPing with the owner of a Mary-Sue. When they try to RP as the canon character their OC is in love with (again, referring to canon relationships), watch how they RP as the canon character, then compare to the personality of the character in the game, film, book, or wherever they're from.
I guarantee you, right now, they will have changed the character's personality just to fit around their OC. I guarantee!
Look out for that the next time you RP with someone who you suspect to own a Mary-Sue.

And now... onto TALENTS!
This will be real interesting, won't it?
Before we start, I want you guys to take a moment to picture your OC. Does your OC have any talents? Anything they're good at?
Well, a Mary-Sue is apparently talented at EVERYTHING. Every single thing they do, they're good at. Even things they haven't done before. Legit, ask a Mary-Sue OC to do something they haven't done before. The moment they try it, they're instantly good at it.
Unless you have anterograde amnesia (short-term memory loss), then that's understandable. It works in that situation. Otherwise, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!

Okay... I survived that. I'm in tact. Can I take my shield off yet?
What am I covering next?

What if for appearence, they have some of those attributes but make those realistic?
Such as, for females, they have huge breasts but when fighting it's a disadvantage, or, in general, they DISPISE them?
I suppose I do need to talk about appearances more.
I'm not on anything. its all a matter of opinion that you can't understand, that's why it was on the "unpopular OPINIONS" page
I just think having an of related to a canon character is cringy but here you are, freaking out again because maria wanted to get pissy about it
it says "to whoever said that blood relation makes your character a Mary sue..." and that was me
why would you put it there if it wasn't for anyone
