I'm willing to help too! Making a sucsessfull character (or sue, you can make good sues. There is a fine line between Annoying Sue (illistrated above) compared to a close-to-a-sue-but-is-good/boardering-Mary-sue-that-is-interesting-sue.) can be tough, but when you get past the bounderies of your average series based OC, you'll truely have something special!

..There is no such thing as a 'good' sue. I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of calling it a Sue to begin with is because it's a badly concepted/created character.

Well yes, Sues are Sues no matter what. Every character has Sue traits, but it's at what extent you use them. Sues have way too many of those qualities. For instance, the character can be able to do Alchemy without a circle, but maybe they had to make a big sacrifice in order to be able to see The Truth. It's all about the details. If you can justify it, it typically works.
