Mary-Sue

Mary-Sue Characters
A Mary-Sue is a Character that is, according to the Player of the Character, the perfect or ideal version of the Player. They lack any real Weaknesses, and as such are incredibly frustrating to Roleplay as or with.

It is against the Roleplay Rules to have a Mary-Sue Character. If you are thought to have a Character that is too 'Perfect' you will be asked to alter the character to add one or more Weaknesses, based on the Staff's judgement. If you attempt to word these Weaknesses into Strengths, you will be Temp Banned and forced to change them again. If you continue to ignore Staff, you will have Weaknesses Assigned to your Character by Admin + Level Staff. If you ignore further, your character will be deemed Non-Compliant, and Players will be told to not interact with you.

Avoiding Mary-Sue Characters:
These are some simple tips on how to Avoid making Mary-Sue Characters.
 * 1) Weaknesses: Do not word your Weaknesses into Strengths. An example of this would be "My character gets lost in thought. Often times she will sit and think a problem through and would be able to solve anything." This would be considered a Mary-Sue Weakness, and would not be allowed. Give your character legitimate Weaknesses, such as being Late often, or getting Lost easily.
 * 2) Avoid Perfection: Your character can not be a 'Jack of all Trades'. As the saying really says, "Jack of all Trades, master of None." . Your character can have a basic understanding of multiple subjects, but having a character who is Strong and Smart and Quick and an amazing Mage and a master of technology... Its boring and Overpowered.
 * 3) Avoid being You, 100%:  It is fine to play as yourself, or even model a majority of your Character off of your own personality. But try to add differences as well. Maybe you are a calmer person In Real Life, but In Character you might have melt down occasionally. Even minor alterations can make the character more interesting, for yourself and others on the server !
