Mary Sue defined:
Mary Sue is a pejorative term, sometimes shortened to Sue, used to describe or criticize a fictional character that exhibits some or most fan fiction clichés, making the character itself something of a cliché. The term "Mary Sue" is often considered unisexual, although masculinized variations such as "Gary Stu" or "Larry Sue" are frequently used in reference to male characters.
What a Mary Sue is:
Exactly what makes a character a Mary Sue is subjective, although commonly accepted criteria include the character being exceptionally lucky (romance, adventure, and popularity with the right people seeming to gravitate toward the character) and having a role in the story that upstages the other characters. Some believe that if a character is unusual or remarkable in some way, then the character will immediately be perceived as a Mary Sue. Others agree that "Sue traits" are cumulative; most characters have "Sue traits" to some degree, but it's how much and how they are handled that is the real determining factor.

Seriously you have to make a choice: Either be a shut in now and great later. Or have a social life now and complain about gas prices for the rest of your life...

This makes me laugh so hard because I have a friend who can't write anything at all, and so whenever she tries to comes up with a character, I have to stop her and take her step by step through what a Mary-Sue is to show her that her character is going to end up like one.
XD I caught hell from my one friend about having a "Mary Sue", then I explained to her that it was the beginning sketches of the char and that it'd be "de-Sued" later.

I like Rp-ing original characters, but made-ups are fun too. Made-ups, NOT mary-sues. Those get real annoying, and you see them EVERYWHERE in fan fics... XD
I DO have a made up for my comics, but she is NOT a mary-sue. She is just a sith. Yay. ^^ *points to Hanako-chan*
