Mary Sue/Gary Stu

Mary Sue or the male variation, Gary Stu, is considered in fanfiction as "The perfect character". It is shunned in media and hated by the fans due to it's cliche traits and overexaggerated personality. They are known affectionately as Sues or Stus.

Characteristics
Common Sue/Stu characterstics are the following:

- They have little to no flaws.

- They are perfect.

- Master anything with ease or at a younger than expected age.

- Able to change the laws of physics or the role of characters (mostly official) with ease.

- Is described too much and too over the top. (ex. "a shimmering yellow incandescent flourish with copper strands entwined within the fury")

- Their past always has a tragedy or trauma in it, whether that the parents were killed by hunters or an evil organization or that their people or tribe were killed by an evil force.

- In times, they can be more powerful than the main hero of an adventure.

- They can make people fall in love them, even the villains would try to get him/her for their own or even the grumpy person who hates everyone will love him/her too.

- They revolve around Japan WAY too much. Like having an American girl who knows nothing about Japan or Asia and she is named "Kawazuki" or something.

- People love him/her and some envy or hate him/her for being so popular or pretty.

- Canon characters would be willing to go all the way (even if they wouldn't do the same for the other canon characters) to save him/her.

- Unusally, freakishly big, and unneccessary big hair that is bigger than a car. (Seriously, must be hell trying to manage all that hair).

- Is related to a canon character in some way (ex. Long lost brother/sister, cousin, mother, uncle, 3rd cousin once removed, etc).

- Are a hybrid of more than one species to the point of being outragous (ex. Half Angel-Half Demon-Half Vampire-Half Werewolf).

- Have abilites that are unusal or down-right impossible for it's species (ex. A Vampire that can walk around in sunlight, a Werewolf that can't be killed by silver, etc.)

Biography Obsidette was born with two parents in a small village. Later, an evil force killed them all, forcing him to see. Ever since, he became dark and angry towards everyone. Then he comes to Cappy Town attacking at innocent Cappies because of his past. No one, not even Kirby, Meta Knight, or Knuckle Joe could beat him. But soon, Tiff's voice stopped his rage and made her instantly fall in love with him. He constantly says that he doesn't seek a girlfriend, even though he goes mushy-mushy with her.

She wields an axe bigger than herself and can slay 100 enemies with one slice without even tiring herself, because she's a natural. After the war, she moves to Cappy Town and dethrones Dedede and leads Cappy Town to a golden age of peace.

It's Against the Rules!
It's against the rules to have a character with this much characteristics in the wiki. It's bound to make us and the other characters look bad. If we spot any characters who host a lot of these traits, we'll notify you, asking that you change the traits above. If you do not, we'll delete the article.
