With her "dust sight" she technically did see him when they first met, but I realized it would be OoC because she just hadn't seen many people that way with her sight(as she can only "see" people who have a "dust mutation"(elemental tied to dust use in the family, Yang is the only one in canon to be this way) aura that way, normally(unless they have dust tattoos or clothing like Cinder's) she needs to use her own aura to move dust past their body shape to "see" them. It was likewise OoC for her partner, who is relatively emotionally detached.

Legitimately confused right now, somehow solace is only  at 39, he should be WAY higher than that.

or is it because the immortal supervillain isn't a herculean sex-god? I mean, 39 is still pretty damned high, but lower than I anticipated. Anything above 36+ is "Extremely high chance your character is a Mary Sue. VERY risky range." 50+ is a horrible Mary Sue, and you did tone him down...

but as I was saying on my Construct, she should rate higher, but most of that test is stacked for attachments/attractiveness issues she doesn't have, and she technically doesn't fit a lot of character questions that tiest should have caught her on. Meh, Solace is pretty insanely OP by design.

After reading through the tvtropes article on mary sue and gary stu several times, I've come to the conclusion that a mary sue is an especially attractive author avatar character with a much too close affiliation with the main cast. some of my characters may gain points during Vadasz's story arc because they will be interacting with RWBY and JNPR a bit.
