Ok I'm not here to bash anyone or their works I'm just gonna give you guys an example of a Mary Sue. darkones.tripod.com/id1.htmlNow it states nowhre that he is the avatar. This is a bad profile to those who want a comparative reference. He bends water, fire, and earth. He looks better than most people. HIs personality is okay, evil and lusty, makes him an imperfect character but not a good one. HIs profile on history is pretty bad as we know nothing except he has abrother and he was locked up for being evil.

That's a Marty Stu. Or a Gary Stu. Not a Mary Sue. Mary Sues are girls.
Also, why is this here?

Nice example of a Gary Stu, I'm glad my OC wasn't like that. That person's OC looks so freaking cliched and stereotyped.

Heh, I'm really tired of reading Sues and Stus. Thank goodness the numbers are probably going down.

A mole spirit inside him? xD *turns to Naruto* Well, I guess it could have been worse.
Naruto: Are you kidding?! I had it lucky!

I've been wondering if one of my characters is a mary sue.
Name: Sayn
Age: ? Could be about 12 and developing or a few years older
Gender: Male
Nationality: Earth Kingdom (a tribe that lives in the Great Devide)
Significant abilities: Seems to have airbender abilities, but hasn't had any way to learn
Noteworthy Relationships: He has a ostrich horse name: Blackavar?) who he can relate to better than most people. He's afraid of everything, but mostly of someone seeing him as weak. had been abused before they met. Sayn and Blackavar balence each other (if they get separated, Sayn's spirit can take over, and Blackavar usually bolts and gets himself lost.
About the tribe: Thought I should include this. Sayn's tribe used to live on the rim of the canyon, but when the Fire Nation attacked, they had to go to war with the Gan Jin and the Zhang to keep their land. Eventually they lost and were forced into the canyon. Their leader is the rainbringer, who is viewed as a shawman. He is a waterbender and can get enough water to barely keep their crops alive. The tribe is on the edge of being wiped out.
Brief history: The tribe was attacked when he was about 8. His father died in the attack, but he escaped with his mother. Subconciously, he feels like his father's death was his own fault. While fleeing, he got separated. At some point when he was separated, a deamon spirit tried to take control of him (don't know why. mabey he was just an easy target and it wanted a minion?). He becomes basically a prisoner in is own mind aftarwards, but sometimes is in control. Once he realizes that he can win, he keeps it under control but still can't keep it out.
Personality traits: Generally distant from the real world, but not really in depression. Wants to learn airbending.
THe mary sue quiz says he isn't, but just checking.

I've been wondering if one of my characters is a mary sue. Name: Sayn the name seems asianish but I really can't tell. << Pick an age, don't just give a range. Either he's 12 or not. Typical it's Divide, please spell right. And which tribe? BZZZT! Mary Sue point. No Airbenders in the current time line. If you want an airbender you need to have your character be a hundred years previous WTF. I did not understand a word of that. ..... It just confusing. Are you saying that Sayn was abused because that another sue point. As for the whole Spirit taking over? The Heck? Thats sounds more Avataric? You can't do that. Unless your character is an Avatar, and there is no avatars as long as Aang is alive Ok, last time I check there is nobody in the Great Divide. Just a Tour guide. I don't think the Gan Jins and Zhangs would give a darn about anyone living in the canyon anyway. Waterbenders only exist in the Swamp or Poles. No waterbenders in canyons. ( and it's Shaman) Parental death is too cliche. Expeically from an attack. Now I know My characters have parental deaths, Like Kulap, but her's died of a illness from their swampy lifestyle. You're is just cliche. As for the demon attack. To flipping random. There is no reason for it. Nor is it canon. Get rid of it. I don't understand his personality. You can't be an airbender. and the quiz lied. You're 100% Stu. As for help. First the concept is nice. Go with the desert thing. Make him a Si Wong Desert resident. A sandbender. Give him a nice big family and a thirst of adventure. Play with his young age and his enviroment. :3
