Hey, a Sera tail of my own!
*snickers* I suddenly remembered something after seeing konekokaiyu's post about this dude called d_burrows2001.
Once upon a time (okay just a few months ago), a couple of online friends and I were particularily bored (it's not that we had nothing to do, we just didn't feel like doing it). To amuse ourselves we held a little contest to find some of the crappiest online Sailormoon RPGs. It was a fun little game, really, and it made us realize just how much crap goes around mascarading as RPGs these days (Did I mention how much I hate it when people use the word SCOUT yet insisted on using japanese names? X_x ).
Now, I'm not the top connaisseur of SM RPGs per-say, but I have enough experience to know a real stinker when I see one.
Now, the RPG in it's core is not so horrible. The storyline defines closer to the series and gives way to completely new senshi (althought, after you see the profiles, you'll wonder just what the hell the Galaxy Caldron had been drinking to give all these girls super senshi powers). It's that all of the dam horrible new senshi are Mary-Sues.
Great examples include this:
"History: Grew up with brother Truman. When she was 9 years old he left to be in the circus. A year later she left, joining another circus in an attempt to find him. A few years passed and Claudia was happy with her adopted family. She did tricks on horseback and performed archery stunts. When she was 17, she found him finally...both left the circus and moved in together. She attends the local high school while working at a local restaurant (think Hooters) to help pay the rent. She has a tendancy to flirt and changes boyfriends every week...she gets in fights with her brother because of his grounding in fantasy and sometimes weird behavior...she prefers to be normal."
Well...that wasn't so horrible but did I mention that this character (Sailor Illusion) is "able to change molecular structure of things, shapeshifting, telekinesis. There's a mental line with her brother that allows them to share powers. "? No, I have no idea what the hell telekinesis powers have to do with someone who's called Sailor Illusion either.
Oi.
Anyway, in the mess of horrible Mary-Sues, one stood out apart from the rest, like a beacon of Tard.
She was called Sailor Saint.
Forget the horrible name for a secound. Here are some basic facts about Saint:
Her name is Sera Robinson.
She has Platinum hair.
Her eyes are Intence icy blue.
Her skin is Almost alabaster.
She is 7 years old.
Woo. Quite a little prize here eh? Here's the kicker--her whole (TRAGIC!!11111!1) history:
Sera was born in America she loves animals and people.
(As do most human beings.)
her mother and father are both American delegates sent to Japan to work in the American embassy.
(Ick. Well it's more original that "Is an exchange student coming to Japan because Japan is the COLZ HOTZ!")
She knows some Japanese though it is a little funny sounding with her Boston accent; Sera loves gymnastics and is quite good at it.
(This sentence makes no sense whatsoever. What does her skills in language have to do with her abilty to bend in odd ways?)
She has an older brother who always teases her. She can't stand to see any one suffer thats why she gets in trouble weather it's trying to bring homeless home from the park or hurt animals.
(Wow, for being the patron of all that is good, I think it odd she enjoys torturing animals. Also, a 7 year old brining homeless home? A 7 year old girl in japan? Japanese don't have hobos, they have tentacle rape!)(<--last line was horribly but couldn't help herself. Feel free to kill me.)
It wasn't until recently when her life seemed to get turned upside down. she spotted a chipmunk out in the middle of the street fixing to get run over by cars
(errr okay. Interesting verb choice. Even I, who has trouble speaking english because it's not my first language, can see this is freaking wrong.)
the little thing looks scared nearly to death
(Well he was going to be soon!)
she ran out into the middle of the street with out thinking and grabbed the chipmunk the on coming car saw her and swrivered to avoid her unfortionetly
(Jesus.)
the car ran right into her parents and brother.
(Oh holy shit. That's really TrAgIC!!11!)
Sera freaked out and ran she didn't know what to do at all she just ran panicked into the park.
(...And got eaten by bears. HOPEFULLY. Nevermind that if her parents died, she'd have been sent back to America to live with the rest her family. Also, forget that Japan's population don't own cars but bicycles and parks are rare, but it's not mentioned exacly where this story takes place so we'll say it was in a rural area. Yes.)
Also, when your going to call yourself Sailor Saint, you'd better have some really kickass powers from god himself to back up your name. I'd have an attack that would summon the entire deligate to do my fighting (Saint Mary! I chose you!) and stand there, looking cool while me foes gets beaten up with the holiness. (If course, I think the idea of calling an otaku senshi Sailor Saint is retarded.)
Not so with this Saint!
"Saint Embrace: Her most powerful attack it draws on the power of her pure and innocent heart to battle directly against the evil in a person hopefully drawing it into her self to save them. It also works to heal an ally but it causes her pain when she uses it to heal. "
Sooo...She's kinda like Sailormoon and her healing rod, only more powerful? And what does this buildup of capturing evil do? It's never explained.
Oh wait, she's Sailor Saint, she's more powerful than evil itself! Chaos wouldn't stand a chance!
Finally:
HOME-
She is lives at an orphanage soon.
...In the end, Saint was crowned TEH WINNAH as the most pathetic senshi of the day.
But now, your probably wondering why the hell this came up? Well it seems that Saint's player happens to be our dear "friend" d_burrows2001. Which you probably all realized as soon as I hit you with the name Sera.
Which leads me to believe this Sera person is one of the crappiest RPG players on the planet.
So, that's my random story of the day. Maybe I'll speak to you about another otaku senshi called Sailor Angel one day, who hit on Jesus and was banned by God himself to spend the rest of her angel life helping the sailor senshi.
I wish I was making this up.
