A Bit Late to the Party But... by

Sorry if I'm a couple days behind everyone else, just started a job this week. Anyway:
At my college, most of the tabletop RPG players run in the same group. We've had some loony characters and players we had to deal with, but none as Sue-ish as the guy who wanted to play Thor.
He needed to be a deity, or as close to it as you can get as a player character, so he was a Kyrie, which are basically angels. But he didn't know he was an angel, and he didn't have wings. This was because when he was young, his mother was kidnapped, he was cursed, and he forgets anything that has to do with who his mother is, or what his powers are. No word on the father, who presumably fell victim to Protagonist Parent Syndrome. But don't worry, this guy still had a relic to remember his mother by. It was basically Thor's hammer. Big, lightning-y, and with a spell that let it return if he threw it.
The idea itself was vaguely overpowered, poorly thought out, and cliche, but it was serviceable. The real problem was when he actually played this character. If it didn't advance HIS plot, he didn't care. He got into a significant amount of (verbal) fights with the party about how he needed to find his mother, because the GM kept enabling him with plot hooks, even though the entire rest of the party was more concerned with the actual campaign objective. This was a group of upperclassmen after all, so they were basically working on a timer until they graduated.
Eventually, the player ended up moving schools. I can't say he was anything less than a good guy, but I also can't say that I miss his play-style.

Roll20 3.5 campaign about you being transported to a fantasy world. We had a Sorcereress with a working keyblade. Other than that, she was sounded patronizing to everyone. Upon further inspection, her appearance was based on a Natsumi from "Date a Live". I only experienced on session with this session, because I was later kicked out from the group by the DM.

The troll I took down in my last mission, no hesitation. Once I saw this ... thing, there was no way I could walk away without missionning the heck out of it.
For a more regular glitterbag, I'd go with the emo hunter from my RWBY mission. Breaking basic rules of the canon, and knew that, the ducker.

This one time I was in a Secret Santa event over on deviantART, and the person I was partnered with requested a story about her OC, Delilah.
Problem was, her story changed in literally every picture I looked at. Sometimes she was an Eevee with a green collarband tail, sometimes she was a fully green wolf, sometimes she was wolf!Saturn's sister, sometimes his partner...she even mentioned, of all possible characters, Richtofen and Dempsey from Modern Warfare in one picture. See for yourself. For simplicity's sake, in the gift fic itself, I stuck with her Eevee form but decided that "she" was actually Mesprit messing with my self-insert OC, Allison, hence the references to Richtofen, Dempsey, and Saturn.

At least, I hope so.
The character I have in mind was definitely not the Worst Sue (TM) I've encountered by a long shot but I was forced to share the most intimate, enduring experience with her. And her sister.
Her profile reads as follows:
Race: Human (half Rhodinian- Aritownian)
Skill set: Reasonable when it comes to cooking.
Can sew well
Character Description: 18 years old. Patient and mother-like. Cares dearly for her younger sister, Lilac. Her Aritownian Mom and her Juctimian Father ran away after giving birth to Lilac for an unknown reason. Lyra had to find herself a job at Thornspike Hall to feed herself and her sister. However she is very depressed and has low self esteem due to the racism she faced during her time at Thornspike Hall. As well, all the other maids and servants seem to be comparing her appearance to Lilac - although Lyra is actually better looking than all those servants and maids. She finds this world unfair and is secretly determined to seek revenge on her parents and the society - practically everyone.
Which sounds reasonable enough. But this description doesn't even begin to describe what she was actually written like.
I had to work with this for years in a writing collab. I'm still working with this. I joined the project late, so it took me a while to catch up on things, and since the character had been accepted I just assumed she was less Sue-y than I was thinking, or that Character Development happened. I only learned recently that the lead writer just never had the heart to tell her.
I'm not even sure. by

I've read a lot of badfic, and it all sort of blends together after a while. But I'm pretty sure it was on FiMFiction.
But I'm gonna second the statement that the worst Sues are the ones we've created ourselves. I know I still feel ashamed of mine.
Ah, crap. by

I went over the limit. I should have axed the material that caused it to go over. I didn't. Now everything get super weird when I view my message.
