For all of you there that write fanfiction, you probably all know about those aherm... perfectly perfect characters.

Well sometimes when I read fanfiction with an OC it takes quite a long time until I realize just how annoyingly awesome this person is.
Though when I read Manga and I take note of these extremely awesome canon characters as well... I start to think of them as a little annoying.

But to the main point, I wanna know what you really think of them.

Any thoughts or comments that you've always wanted to say about this...?:?

I think there are a few times having a character like that is okay. For example--it took me ten years of roleplaying with a character, writing stories as well, for him to be considered perfect--after that long of a time put into the chcaracter, I think it's okay to think of him as perfect. Now, the term Mary Sue I'm used to just constantly explains the character over and over and over. For example:

"The blue eyes of the man look like the ocean. The deep blue oceanic eyes glimmer the hope of tomorrow. With this hope it shows that he truly is mankind's savior. The eyes which..." it continues to explain the eyes when it should just stop. This new "mary sue" definition is unique, to me. But yes--that's how I feel. If the roleplayer just made up the character and says they're perfect in every way without any real history of the character, or time spent roleplaying with them, then it's annoying.
