I've been around for a while now, even if I don't post much, so I figured it was time to go for this. This is probably a good example of my writing (note that it's a first draft, so there are mistakes in it). I know it's kinda old, but I don't type stuff up very often. If you need more, or at least something more recent, there are some links to RP characters in my signature on that forum. I was pretty good at procrastinating with them, though.
I'd like one of my agents to be a newbie male human called Agent Smith (yes, he's seen The Matrix, and no, he doesn't think it's funny - it's just his name) whose primary hobbies are reading and video games, especially fantasy novels and RPGs. My other agent will be a Tonberry (creatively referred to as "Agent Ton") who is more experienced but doesn't speak much. He also happens to make Agent Smith rather nervous due to whole insta-kill thing Tonberries have going on.
They will be members of the Department of Mary Sues, in the Freelance Division, and their first mission will be to tackle this fic. Random girl gets sucked into Final Fantasy IX, immediately befriends the key player characters, and she is apparently destined to "save" the villains. Sounds like a Sue to me.
Is there anything else I need to do?
May I mention that I love you so very much?
Because I do.
I've only played a bit of FFVII, so anything after that is kinda lost on me. What's a Tonberry, why can it kill instantly, and how will you avoid all your missions ending in "and then the Tonberry killed it instantly"?
That fic does look like a mega-Sue, though. I love the author's note in Chapter 2: "and thanks to some advice from a reviewer Im going to let Lena be skilless until Zidane and the others give her a few pointers in fighting." *snerk* At least she's receptive to advice.

A Tonberry is a monster that spends several turns slowly walking towards your party and then sticks 'em with it's knife once it's close enough. It isn't a straight insta-kill in every game, but that's the most iconic and well-known version. I'm not planning to use it in most missions - apart from anything else, Tonberries are pretty slow - but it's a useful option to have.
Besides this, I want the Tonberry more for what it'll do to Agent Smith's head than the insta-kill. Plus it's not really any different than having the option of saying "and then Agent so-and-so shot the 'Sue in the head". Which would be boring if I actually did it.
On that author's note - it would be a little more impressive if the 'Sue didn't effortlessly disarm one of the Knights of Pluto in the very next chapter. >.>
