Yeah. The Pill is a good idea (and, it's one of the more common treatments for PCOS, at least initially,) because really, everything else is cosmetic and could be explained away by the setting. (No body hair? Characters from a lot of fandoms are drawn that way. Purple eyes? Again, plenty of drawn and quite a few written fandoms have them just for the sake of pretty.
Here's a primer on it, if you don't.
Obviously the entire thing is a pseudoscientific fallacy created as a plot device, but I was wondering what relation this obviously Suvian genetic mutation has with the PPC. Have the DMSE&R scientists trying to unravel the Suvian genome uncovered this? Have Agents encountered it in HQ or on missions before?
If so, would it be classed as a Mary Sue Disease or a Mary Sue Genetic Mutation?
They were doing okay until the spirit people and the priest not being, at the very least, concerned about the family. (What with caucasian babies' eyes darkening as they head towards toddlerhood, and eyes with blue pigment and a lot of red blood vessels in the back appearing slightly violet. [Really more of a blue-violet, which is far more blue than most people seem to realize: that's the art-major in me talking, though.])Clearly the original suethor was clever, but shouldn't the spirits thing have clued people in? (Or the inclusion of women who never menstruate being normally fertile, or the "silver-like-purple..." Why am I now attempting to apply logic to this?)
I'd say a great deal of it contradicts the premise of the show, which is supposed to be satire about high school. After all, since when do Suvian race genetics have anything to do with high school?
I say it could be connected to the PPC as another part of PPC science.
I could, if I find the time, write something about mine researching Alexandria's Genesis Sues.
Yes. Perhaps there's a former-Sue Agent who suffers from it; she has to go into Medical every so often for special medication to combat the Speshul? I was thinking something along the lines of the Pill, to give her at the very least a period like other normal human beings.

Some kind of hormone supplement to encourage body hair growth, and contacts or something to cover up the eyes if it's deemed necessary. While she still doesn't get a period, this has rendered her sterile. No ovulation = no kids.
Which could, assuming it's not played for angst and is handled correctly, provide some interesting pathos later on as relationships develop.
I apparently had forgotten a few things about the mutation. The agent/ex-Sue would probably also require something to balance out their metabolism. Which, if they're not careful, could result in a rapid weight gain, as someone who has lived their entire life never having to worry about what they eat or how much they exorcise is brought closer to a normal human metabolism.
And, while the information does say that the women with the mutation are still fertile, I imagine that, along with a few other things such as the "doesn't burn" bit will probably go away once the influence of Sue-logic is removed.
Jay-sus I'm behind the times. Heya. I'm Bryn. Sometimes Bronwyn, a pile of laundry, Etc. So... Yeah. Hi. I feel horrible now. Gonna go curl up now. Have fun in R&E!
They're Lori and Bill and they were created in 2008, so..........
Anyway, hey! -waves-
That's not your hands.
IT'S MEEEEEEE!
GAHAHAHA!!!
In my mind, I don't think miss Alexandria could sue me if I didn't.
But still.
BA DUM TISS.
