I also don't get how some OCs are set in the future or modern times and they have a sword. Give them a gun for gods sake!
Or if they aren't set in modern times, at instead of just using a sword, give them a hammer, an axe, or even a staff, but please, we already have too many OCs with swords.

So, you're basically saying that you hate OCs who are Mary-Sues? That's what most of those things you mentioned refer to.

can somebody explain this mary sue concept. the way i see it a mary sue is a character whos perfect or the like. but would a character who like perfect but with a tortured past or watever be considered a mary sue. cause these come up a lot and i simply dont understand how you tell if a character is a mary sue or not. is a super plain character be considered a mary sue? some please clarify... cause seriously i dont want to make lousy characters and at this time im pretty sure my oc collection is being taken over by mary sues.... gahhhhhhh....

Basically, a Mary Sue is a character with too many features. In the Wikipedia Article, just skip right down to the "Criticism" part and take it to heart. [link]
Just having a "tortured past" or being very pretty does not make a Mary Sue. It would be considered "Sue-ish" if, in addition to their past and beauty, the character was also super-smart, had super-powers of some kind, had an animal companion who could communicate telepathically with them, their hair or eyes were an unnatural color, and lived in a rainbow cloud castle in the sky.
They are also commonly depicted as having no flaws or real personality. (You can, in fact, look up lists of flaws on Google, and choose a few you like for your characters!) Flaws make a character interesting and memorable, and you can think of new ways to exploit them.
If you suspect your character is a Mary Sue, you can take a test (there's a pretty good one here: [link] ). Depending on the results, you may feel tempted to destroy all remnants of the character. But you can indeed salvage them if you just split apart their Mary Sue traits and distribute them among different characters.
To sum it up: there is no single defining "Mary Sue" trait. It's when there's a BUNCH of them all in one character, with no balance or discretion. Always think twice before you call someone's (or even your own) character a Mary Sue; it is taken as an insult and oftentimes the character in question is NOT a Mary Sue at all.
If you have further questions, feel free to note me!

wow thank you so much that actually help. sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. i hope my characters are not mary sues but i guess i try to avoid make them all perfect since that's pretty boring.

The stamp itself seems to be a bit of an oxymoron, but if the character is based off a fandom, they aren't original characters. Still, I get where the stamp is going, and yeah, do something less cliched with your characters, peeps.

I don't get why some people insist on making their OCs invincible. I mean seriously, Make some more OCs & spread it around a little, learn what NOT to do by looking at DBZ. XD
