See, I’ve never truly understood what a ‘Sue’ was until I just did some research on the subject. When I create characters I find the thing that makes them special is character progression. There is nothing more rewarding, more exhilarating, than having a character start at one point and through roleplay, discover new aspects about the character you never even considered. How they deal with love, loss, danger, things which every normal human beings struggle with. The stories we create with our characters is what makes them special in the end.
Â
My main character was just that, he crawled his way out of the gutter and fell into numerous chains of events which formed him into the person he is today. Neither strong with a sword, nor especially important, as a matter of fact I enjoy having him fail in his endeavours more than anything purely for humour sake.
Â
I’ve got to be completely honest when I say, in the past, I tended to back away from characters who could never be defeated, had powers that no one else possessed or in one particular case, played characters which just shouldn’t be, like a Maiar from Tolkien’s world on LOTRO. I just found it awkward, and when lore is being torn to pieces I suppose it did bother me. Do I instantly dislike the roleplayer behind the character and think less of them for their choice? Not in the slightest, we just clashed on point of view.
Â
I am new to the lore of Eorzea though realise there are many opportunities for characters to be powerful. Given the fact that those with a magical background are quite common, there is a large amount of opportunity to expand on that. So long as the character’s unique abilities aren’t forced upon me and it is played responsibly I’d have no problem roleplaying with said character in the slightest.
