Look, I really like Scythe Sasin. He's a pretty cool character, and his creator has always been great about staying active on the wiki and Roleplay Boards. In fact, him and the Yankee are pretty great buds and I love to watch them interact.

But... I have a slight problem with the general basis of the character.

Now, I'm not going to start pointing Mary Sue fingers, heaven knows there's no point in that (my early OCs were ALL Mary Sues), but my biggest issue stems from the fact that he doesn't actually have a real source tale.

I've seen other Wiki contributors informed that they cannot create their own fairy tale just to make an OC from it, and I've looked into it: the so-called tale "When the World Calls" is not a legitimate fairy tale, and unless I'm mistaken, that means he created it. (Parody OCs are a different story)

I feel like people have overlooked that, and I'm not "ANTI-SCYTHE" or anything, he just feels... out of place when it comes to the presentation of the character. On top of that, is it really acceptable to exempt someone from perhaps the most IMPERATIVE rule of an 'Ever After' character...? That is, to be from a Fairy Tale?

Anyway, I'm just trying to voice something that's been on my mind lately, perhaps bring it to the attention of others. This is COMPLETELY civil and I simply want to know how this sort of thing works.

But, anyway, YOU'RE A GREAT DUDE, SCYTHE! I wish nothing but LOVE and PIZZA upon you and your kin!

Yours,
