I roleplay on a small little comfy site, not much people know about it. You make “groups” where a lot of characters roleplay. I made a group, about a school for talented students. [Names have been changed.]
The roleplay started off easily enough, then I opened a topic about math class, where a math test was going on.
This girl, we will call her Sheena, had a character named Whitney. Whitney was popular, pretty and an absolute Mary Sue. I only realized it when we started roleplaying.
After posting about the teacher handing out the math test, Sheena posted this exactly; “Whitney smiled, she was a straight A student, always, she was going to ace this test.”
According to her form, her personality is: Sweet, Caring, Lovable, Sarcastic, Sweet, Strong, Cute.
Her biography was this: Ever since she was three, she had been singing. When she was five, she got put into singing lessons, and at seven, all her notes were perfect. Every scale and everything. Now she just picks up songs and tunes, memorizing them as she read them or thought them. Every word. People say her talent is unbelievable, but she didn’t believe them. [She has some grammatical errors; she frequently mixes up her tenses.]
Back to the math test. Her next post, is this: Whitney looked at the test she had infront of her. This is easy shit. She thought to herself, finishing the first page in about five minutes.
Then she begun chatting with my character, we will call him Jake. Jake wasn’t exactly smart, but he was amazing at football - his strengths and weaknesses were balanced.
She begun flirting with him, constantly. All I could do was play along.
Whitney kept on being her-Mary-Sue-self, unfortunately. She would constantly finish the classwork first, and walk off to the music room to write a song. Her songs were always either Demi Lovato’s or Selena Gomez’s. She would go onto the stage and sing, and she would bring my character, Jake, with her. She would sing on the stage, and when Jake complimented her, she pretended to be insecure.
She was also rich. She had … Gucci or something sunglasses [I’m terrible at brand names!], Hollister clothes and Converse shoes.
Whitney was;
- Sweet
- Caring
- Lovable
- Sarcastic
- Sweet [once again]
- Strong
- Cute
- Talented at music
- Straight-A student
- Extremely intelligent
- Rich
- Popular
I wanted to kick her out, but I was too shy to do so. But this is a lesson to all RPer’s; please don’t be a Mary Sue! It annoys everyone, and not much people will be willing to RP with you because of it. Balance out their traits; please?!
