Nothing wrong with signing up just to edit for spelling and grammar.  That's mostly what I do! XD

Anywho, behold, Mary Sue.  Read the "Personality and traits" section for Mary Sue goodness.  This article just reeks of Mary Sue.  Everything about it stinks.
Didn't you link to that particular Mary Sue before? o3o

Lucasfilm still hasn't invited us over for coffee, even though they used an entire article in an episode of The Clone Wars.  Let me see if I can find it...

Here we go.  The article it's displaying is this one.  Everything, right down to our citations, is on that screen and translated into Aurebesh.
All I can say to that is 'wow'... o3o

It's only marginally better, in my opinion.  The lesser of two evils.  But, yes, in an RP setting, I would rather see a Mary Sue than someone screwing over Vader's characterization to make him into a dark wizard.

Though, in fanfiction... neither are good.
There is something that is worse than both (if only marginally): OP Mary Sues that are almost practically clones of an already existing character, but just a teensy bit different. I'd rather have someone messing up an existing character in an RP, because then everybody can yell at them for screwing up the character and possibly chase them out or pressure them into doing it right. When they make a blatant almost-copy of a character, you can't really tell them they're doing it wrong because they'll use the logic that, since it's not quite the existing character, it's their character and they don't have to fix it.

I just encountered such a thing in a Power Rangers-based rp I recently joined on a different site. Unique story, unique premise, mostly unique team half-made of self-inserts, but this new guy (newer than me) pretty much cloned a ranger that's already had his adventures, only arbitrarily rich and famous. Hell, he didn't even bother to change the guy's color or zord. I had just finished a rant there before I popped in and noticed the current topic in this thread. =w=

Also... Evil is much better than the good side!
THEY HAVE TASTIER COOKIES HERE
But, tell me, does the Evil Side have most excellent coffee?

At the risk of getting called out on ridiculing Mary Sues when I have this, I'm just gonna say it...

A while back, I had the thought "What if pokemon actually could push beyond their species' limitations?" So, I've been toying with the idea of psuedo-evolutions and how they would work. I decided to label it as 'ascention', but most people would recognize is as 'SOOPER SAIYAN POKEMANZ HAX'. That is because it CAN be a sort of temporary super form, but it can ALSO be a permanent change. The only way an ascention can really be attained is by proper and/or severe training. The closest I could think of for a 'canon' example of ascention in pokemon is.... Is.... *grumble grumble* Ash's pikachu...

ANYWAY, any pokemon can achieve ascention, but it would be more common among fully-evolved pokemon or pokemon with specific evolution conditions (such as trading, holding a specific item, or stones).

And now, I await the "LOL U IZ STOOPID" comments and the sarcastic "This is a really good idea, NOT" comments.

That's fine with me. I wanted to change my song anyway. ^^;;
Er... You're thinking the medly, which went belly-up from a computer crash and previously involved members (people with included theme songs) dropping off the face of RPM. >3>;;

The actual opening is in the "Take-Another-Class-Or-Two-First" folder. Specifically, storyboarding, as we're gonna do a project later this quarter that'll help in making it.

Fan Creations / RPM RPG?
« on: March 28, 2012, 12:31:35 AM »
Yup, that's the latest attempt at a project that's popped into my head.

Some (or very few) of y'all remember the RPG Maker sprites that appeared in 'art' thread a while back. I had planned on making a (somewhat short) RPG featuring the residents of RPM, buuuuuut I ran into a couple snags that made me realize that I'm not really cut out for doing it solo. So, I need help on at least 2 things, maybe 3, that would make this a collaborative project. The things I can't do myself are make maps (or, at least design them) and write the story (needless to say, I'm not very good at that either).

Now, the question is, would anyone like to assist me in this, or is this a plan to just shove into the "Forget About It" folder?

And just think, with that job you'll be able to join the ranks of us independent adults and live on your own!  You'll get to pay bills and worry about how much money is left in your savings at the end of the month!  You'll have a place to call your own and to clean and to maintain!  You'll get to scrub your own toilet, contemplate whether you wanna spend the money to get your own washer and dryer or continue to drop quarters at the laundromat, how much food is in your cupboards and if you absolutely need to make that blue milk run, and all the mail you get will be bills!  It's awesome! :D

Well, at least I won't have to listen to my dad and brothers bicker all day. 8D

Besides, once I am living on my own, I won't have to stay locked up in my room all goddamn day.  O:<

Anime & Manga / Re: Naruto (Manga Discussion Mainly)
« on: March 09, 2012, 02:26:30 AM »
I've dropped reading this at the part where Sakura confesses to Naruto.

What exactly has happened so far?
Not putting this in spoilers due to it being old news.

War has started. All the living ninja VS humdreds of zombies summoned by Kabuto (Orochimaru absorbed) and oodles of Zetsus. Oh, and Naruto has gained access to the Kyubi's power. And the names of the other 8 tailed beasts have been revealed (Shukaku being revealed early on).

For the record, I'm only still reading it just to see how it ends... And when it ends.
