Well, I've just been stalking random threads and I noticed something(s) which is a real pain in the neck to RP with. Mary Sues and Gary Stus (mostly stus). I'm not talking about any particular people but it is VERY annoying to come across them as I'm sure many of y'all know. I don't mean to be a whine or anything but they are terribly boring and irritating and predictable to RP with. They seem to know all the spells, have all the connections, and also have INCREDIBLE foresight. They can stop/block any character's spells and almost every situation has to work out to their advantage. Plus they have a (mega mega maddening) tendency to godmod. And THEN when anyone confronts/attempts to help them get over it the MS/GS offers a totally unrational and unreasonable explanation for their perfectness/advantageous outcome/godmodding.
Like, what the hell people?!
So all I'm saying is this: PLEASE PLEASE IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE KINDA THING YOU'RE CHARRIE DOES DON'T DO IT! I understand that omnipresent, omniscient characters are very appealing as they are unbelievably powerful and perfect but they are actually honestly the most TEDIOUS PREDICTABLE characters ever. And there ARE a few on PA. And they get EXTREMELY frustrating to RP with. Now I'm not criticising anyone in particular but don't get me wrong, I AM criticising. So DON'T DO IT. Anyway, now that that's off my chest, I hope people won't bite my head off.
Neve over and out. /end
