16-25 -Borderline Mary-Sue We have a problem. You need to tone your character down. They are most likely a bit annoying to others, too.
26< -Mary-Sue Oh dear. Do I really need to comment on this?
Again, a few points that over lap, so Balls to that, but this is Mystic. First of a series of experimental "genetically altered" children of the royal family in an attempt to make "the perfect Aldaberan." It nearly worked for the king, except the first was a female. That didn't please him, and she was named Mistake. Her mother, the queen, quickly interveened that he meant "Mystic" and was referring to mistake about something else. Mystic learned of this, and that helped to carve the woman she would become. Resented by her father, she was tucked away for teaching. Though he seemed to hate her, he did at least see the value of testing this child's limits and sent her to train with the 3 most powerful Psychers the king had.
They too looked down upon a female student, but found their own sport in teaching her "forbidden lord" in exchange for peep shows and the like when she began to develop [Aldaberans age in 7s. 1-7 child, 8-14 teen, 15-21 young adult] So when she reached age category 3, they began asking for more than just looks. Though aware of their lecherous ways, she schemed to get them back, in time. Of coarse, they couldn't just take the virginity of the princess, no, but there were 'so many ways around that' they would tell themselves. She grabbed every tome she could while they were distracted by the pleasure. So the beginning of a very manipulative sense of self preservation began at 14. She learned that she, eventually, had a brother and so wanted to meet him, but was sequestered in her training as he was. The king demanded perfection of his children and so they were sent to train and train until there was nothing left for them to learn. At one out break, she had run away from the training and was assaulted by some drunken males who nearly raped her, but she was rescued by two male guards (one of which was bi, the other gay) who would instruct her in the sexual arts. . not entirely at their will, but they did not have powers like her.
Then came the sex wars, risen up from the male oppression. Mystic, overhearing the plans of making her brother an immortal weapon, not only informed the female resistance, but had found in one of the ancient tomes a way to bind her life force to her brother, thinking to make herself just as immortal. It worked. The females overthrew the men with their resources poured into Labrn, and surgical strikes within lead by Mystic. She happily slaughtered the three perverted teachers and then captured her father, after a rather 'strange' daddy/daughter interaction (you pervs :P) and didn't smile at his execution... "Your right father, Mistake is the correct term to use with me. A mistake to cross, a mistake to abandon, a mistake to neglect. . I'd go on, but you're dead." ... until his eyes rolled back in his head. From there, she would instruct and play with the hearts and minds of every student who came to her instruction, every one a pawn to make sure things ran smooth to her liking. Each generation, whispers of "just how powerful is Mother Mystic" would reach her ears, driving that Megalomania wheel.
She never usurped the queen, saw no need as she was already in control. . but when arguments, fights, and near revolution broke out to do something about her brother Labrn, a growing hatred for her own kind began to rise. "He defends them, loves them, and all they see is that stupid curse father placed upon him. Like foolish kittens they are. I must. . I must. . ." and after an attempted public assassination of her brother, that of coarse failed, Mystic had had enough. With very careful planning and enchantments placed upon her brother (not that he knew for she had forgotten lore no one knew of, and for his own good and protection) she plotted a near genocide of all sisters who opposed her and her brother. This would nearly succeed (90%) but drove Labrn crazy. So she shielded his mind from it all and they went into Exile, leaving their kind and pursuing whatever whim they imagined.

You know..speaking of creatures from 'Bucky O'Hare' reminds me of when i was watching the show, way back in the day, I had this funny idea of creating an ancient race that would come to be the one that taught the 'cats' their magic and culture....but where forgoten.
A race of wolverines. Seriously! Even then I had a soft spot for them lol
Oh? So whatever became of that? I would have to re-read, but the Fansite had a lizard race called Regens who had powers to fight the sisterhood.
Hell, it was just the imaginings of a kid. lol never wrote it down, just let it swim in my head. But, what I can remember, they were a war-like race...conquerors. Believing they were bringing peace and order. Masters of bladed weapons, hand to hand, and manipulating energy. Didn't like using technology, except when needed (starships) They saw potential in the 'cats', and decided to 'uplift' them....force their evolution. Then they just disappeared. I think they knew their time was nearing an end, and uplifted the cats to be the new keepers of order.
Also, she didn't kill her father. She captured him and he was publicly hanged for his crimes against female kind in the war.
Granted, as a self-professed writer myself I find Sues to be annoying no matter what but there's a few exceptions, always. :D
Mainly when they have a great rack?
None of those could be considered half-points? I think the guardian-angel thing could be considered a half-point, given the circumstances...
