Before I start this story, I just want to get something out of the way. I hate Mary-Sues. They are the scum of the universe and sadly a lot of OCs are Mary-Sue. Not all OCs are Mary-Sues. They're just either there and can be quite enjoyable every now and then. I've actually read stories were OCs are pretty good, but a lot of them are just Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. As a part of a challenge made by myself, I'm going to write a MS (aka Mary-Sue) theme story involving characters from an anime or cartoon. Feel free to read the rules I made up at the end.
Also the chapter's a bit short since it's a prologue.
It was a normal Saturday morning and everyone was doing what they did best. At the Son household, Goku and his son were having some kind of eating contest while Chichi was trying to tell her family to slow down or they'll choke, only to give up after 5 minutes. Luckily she didn't have Bulma's problem. The scientist was trying to get her husband out of the Gravity Room while her current son wouldn't stop crying and her future one was stinking up the upstairs bathroom after eating Bulma's shitty cooking.
"GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE AND COME EAT LUNCH!" Bulma screamed at her husband from outside of the room.
"I'M TRAINING!" snapped Vegeta. "EATING CAN WAIT! AND SHUT THAT BRAT UP! I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK!"
"GET YOUR ASS IN HERE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SON THEN!"
"YOU'RE THE MOTHER OF THE BRAT! IT'S YOUR JOB!"
"My job…you…YOU INSECURE BADGER OF A DEAD BEAT FATHER! THEN AGAIN I'D BE INSECURE TOO IF I COULD NEVER BE AS GOOD AS GOKU!" Bulma smirked when Vegeta made a loud growl and began to rant on how much of a bitch Bulma was for pointing that out and began complaining about her, Earth, and everyone in general.
Bulma went back downstairs and tried to breast feed her son. Trunks ate for 5 seconds before turning his head and crying again. The blue haired woman was close to tears due to frustration. Her baby wouldn't stop crying, Vegeta wouldn't help out with him, and there were androids on the loose! She missed her life from when she was younger. All she had to worry about was whether or not her inventions would be of some use to her friends, searching for dragonballs, and, for a short time, looking for the perfect guy, and other small teenage things. Nowadays, she was almost useless to even slightly help save the world now. Her husband was getting on her nerves and she hated that she had to deal with the saiyan prince and his attitude everyday. She thought back to the days of when she was with Yamcha. All she had to do was worry about some prettier and older woman coming along and catching the man's eye. These days, she had a baby she basically raised on her own, a husband acted like he didn't love her, and being useless in comparison to her friends. She hated her life. As much as she loved her son, she wanted to go back in time and re-live her years before everything got so complicated. Things would be much more tolerable if Vegeta was a bit more affectionate to her. In the few times they were intimate in bed, Vegeta only cared for his needs while Bulma had to take care of herself. She started to feel like she was being used by the saiyan prince.
"Does he even love me?" she asked herself as she tried calming down her son. "I guess it's just his saiyan way. Then again we just need some time to relax. With all this android business and Goku being stronger than him, maybe it's causing him to be this way. I know! As soon as I put Trunks to bed, we're going to have some private time and remind him why he choice me as his wife!"
As she rocked her son, she made plans in her head for the two of them. She was going to save this marriage one way or another. Little did she know that something was coming her way to challenge her marriage.
Anyone who doesn't like the MS is an asshole and will be portrayed as such. Most of the people who dislike MS are the people from the series the author hates/dislikes. Only the people the author loves/likes/feels neutral towards are spared- Bulma yells at MS for obviously flirting with Vegeta. Although she had a right to, everybody gangs up on her and tells the woman to shut the fuck up.
Unusual appendages such as wings or tails- MS not only has a cat tail but also wings in a series where nobody has those traits.
Ability to master anything with ease- MS being able to master the spirit bomb within minutes of learning it.
Ability to make every character instantly love them- Usually from the moment someone lays eyes on them.
Same ethnicity as the author or ethnicity/race/species/mixture of species that the author wishes she was- MS is a saiyan/Namekian/icejin hybrid. Most of that's not even possible.
Babies r' Us Sue- Mary Sues simply hook up with one of the main characters of the opposite sex (and in some cases of the same sex) and have kids. Non-MS characters do it too but MS's kids are are always super powerful and mini Mary Sues and Gary Stus.
Boobs: MS has got to have bigger boobs than anyone in the whole series- Sometimes.
Dark Past- Usually involves rape and dead parents.
Little Miss Super Goddess: MS is just born all-powerful and you have to accept it. They are always immortal or if they aren't, but they can't die like a normal person. Plus she has over 9000 super powers but no weaknesses. She can't be beat. A punch that nearly kills a character, barely even leaves a scratch on her. Her downfalls are only in flashbacks.
Jealousy: Everyone is jealous of this MS character. They all wanna be her or bang her or both.
home-wrecker- Married? Got a girlfriend? Well MS doesn't care. She'll take your man and your friends if you don't willingly give them over.
BFFs after 5 seconds- For some reason, MS has the power to have characters become her best friends within seconds. That or they'll want to see her again soon because they miss her despite only speaking to her for only 4 seconds, although it feels like they've known each other for years.
These are basically all of the rules of my little challenge I've made. I hope you enjoy my little story.
