Avoidance of Mary-Sue in the Naruto-World Authors note:
Your character is still Mary-Sue, huh? Well, follow these steps and then you'll be sure to have a completely clean and original character!
"I have all kekkei genkai's!" (1)No, you don't. Either you have a special kekkei genkai that runs in your clan which you have to explain and not keep a secret, 'just because of'-whatever reason you choose.
Lets make an example, shall we?
You CANNOT have the rinnegan, sharingan and byakugan at the same fucking time. Why? Instant Mary-Sue. 'nuff said.
These kekkei genkai's are all accounted for, and you cannot have them. Unless your character is a Hyuuga, then you may have a byakugan. IF. You don't make it "the strongest eyes in the whole clan". How original is THAT?
How your character acts around our favorite noodle-obsessed boy, Naruto.Now, your character can either hate Naruto like the others or be neutral about him. If you're "morally superior than the other citizens in Konoha and treats Naruto like a 'human-being' and all that shit", you'll quickly be hated, 'cause Naruto does have people that care for him and he doesn't need your petty, little Mary-Sue to care for him just because you need to be better than the others or because you're afraid of him/the kyuubi.
Your characters pastI'll make an example, which I took from my friend's OC, which is completely Mary-Sue and she pointed that out herself before I could. So, kudos to her! XD
Now, say if you were adopted into the Inuzuka clan, and the citizens of Konoha find that out after 14 years. Now, come on. They would be like "So?" and NOT treat her like Naruto!
Like, throw rocks at her and beat her? Kidnap her, then RAPE her and then multi-beat her? Seriously. That is so Mary-Sue down to the bone.
And what's even more Mary-Sue about this girl, is that she's treated like this because of her FATHER, that is mental and is at some mental-hospital-thing. WOW. That's all I could say to her.
Your character CANNOT have powers or be like someone else from ANOTHER SERIES, unless it's a crossover!
Now, I have made some of my characters slightly Mary-Sue before I even knew the term of Mary-Sue. But only because I did this mistake on my character.
Okay, you people know the series Elfen Lied? Yeah, that's pretty much the most used one I know and have seen. Your character CANNOT be a diclonius, it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to mix two series together without it being a crossover!
Oh, wait! There's a lot more series!
Fullmetal Alchemist, is a good one too. Your character CANNOT have alchemy-powers if it's not a crossover.
Nor can it use magic like Harry Potter, if not a crossover.
Nor be a vampire or werewolf, unless it's not a crossover from a series with that theme.
Nor be a 'Shinigami' from Death Note, unless a crossover. Or have a death-note-book.
And this rule goes to EVERY series, that you choose!
Being a hanyou is fine, don't worry, it's the only legal one you can be without being a crossover.
I got no idea if I spelled this right..
That was actually it. I don't have any more points that I can think of, or remember that I've been asked to use from those who reviewed.
If there's others, please tell me then I might make another chapter XD
Thank you for your time, and please use this if you can! ^^
