EDIT: 6/21/09 Okay, everyone, please chill with all the 'hay is my character a mary-sue!?11" questions. I get about 3 a day now and one thing you need to understand - I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON MARY SUES. This picture is a parody. Just for fun. The one on the right is obviously an extreme exaggeration of a stereotype and not the definitive definition for a Mary Sue. D:
Please full view. You won't be able to read the text if you don't.
For those of you who don't know, a Mary Sue, in a nutshell, is a fanmade character that is usually extremely beautiful, powerful, smart, talented, and in plain words, perfect in every way.
These characters tend to be quite a bother in fanfiction and role playing, since they simply can't be beat, and thus become boring.
Have any of you ever been rping, and come across a character who is like, " oh, well, that planet in the way isn't a problem *blows it up*"
Or, is like, "well, Vegeta and Goten and Trunks and Goku ALL have a crush on my character"
Yep. That's a Mary Sue.
So, for people who still don't understand, I made this little picture/diagram. Usually, Mary Sues have TONS of talents and TONS of powers, and no weaknesses.
Enjoy ^_^

Sounds a lot like Super Man syndrome to me: you make a character too strong, so you have nowhere to go. Ami is drawn well, but your perfect character looks like it may have been drawn at an angle, as the face sort of looks skewed. Otherwise, you had a really nice execution.
Damn right. I don't see why it's so difficult to tell a Mary-Sue apart. Maybe the kids are just slow these days.

*bows at the altar of Windfalcon's genious, beauty, and all around gutsyness* I love you, girlfriend. Thank you for drawing this. I laughed myself into into a gutting-busting fetal position after I saw this. Major Kudos!
three letters: l-o-l. i love this...i only recently learned what a mary sue was, so it's kind of a concidence that you're uploading something for it (but of course you don't care about that haha). i've encountered a few mary-sue people in my roleplaying years...and i hate them into little pieces. ><;; (not that you can actually hate them into little pieces, because there's always a freaking forest spirit or something magically appearing from thin air to throw a barrier around them.) i love how serenity and vegeta are her parents, and the whole thing with the " 1/2 this, 1/2 that, and 1/2 everything else!"
