your thoughts and opinions on Mary Sues/Gary Stus? Do you think you'd ever make a character beyond perfect?

I noticed, I never answered this question after like a week and a half, holy crap, I'm sorry. I guess it was buried somewhere in messages during finals ^^"

Anyways... My thoughts? Nothing really. I don't hate them with a passion nor do I actually like them. It just seems..... Unreal. Okay, we take a character make them protegees without having them fail a single thing or struggle in anything -cough- Gao, just kidding, I don't hate you Gao. LESS TANGENTS, BLIZZ! Anyways, succeeds in everything without failing or having struggles or being overpowered(for certain things you're designing for), yeahhhh, that's just surreal. I don't think I've ever heard of a human being who's known for good story writing, good art, lost of money, talented in every instrument, nice to everyone, and yet leads a good life. They may look like they do have a good life, but really, they're probably struggling to get that far. Takes effort and lots and lots of time. At the same time, I'm pretty sure you can't be good at EVERY SINGLE THING unless you try tackling it(going to take a long time, bud. You'll also build up stress that way). Disagree with me if you want. Just my opinion, belief, thoughts, etc. not yours, so don't judge or hate. That's very unreasonable.

And as for my characters... Make someone beyond perfect? That's funny, I'm sorry. I think my characters are more than perfect. They all have flaws and things they can't do, but that's good enough for me. Heck, I can take take Yuna and make her a Mary Sue, but I rather not. All my characters have notable flaws and weaknesses along with strength to cover and balance. I can even list down all of them if you even wanted me to. It'd take time though since I have 24 known characters, 10 unfinished, and the character's siblings (not counting Katsu and Miwa since they're already known characters). xD I'll list them anytime if you ask for it. But seriously guys, don't make overpowered characters, not many people like that and also, again, it's very unrealistic.

Just an opinion, don't hate. How about you guys? What do you think about them?

Thanks for asking, Anon! Again, my mistake..! Ask us anything and we'll answer!
