We all have them, the sooner you admit it the better. Im fully aware Hector is a sue, but only in his backstory. He's rather pathetic and not at all awesome in action.

Show your Sues? Sure, I'll bite . . .
To date, I've made at least three "Sues", at least ones which either intentionally or accidentally were WELL outside the realm of "fairly powered".
One of which is Evalia de Lune . . . at least from various perspectives she could be one. Because while she isn't perfect, that's only because it's me playing her and my imperfections shine through. She's moody, she's abrasive, and reclusive . . . these are my issues, not something inherent to the character. There is a reason nobody really likes playing with her, and it pretty much can be summed up in the three things I just listed. I've contemplated killing her off several dozen times in the last year, but keep getting convinced she's better than I think. The people who like her have perhaps their own reasons for wanting her around (very sensual twelve-foot black vixen with magical powers?) so I have my doubts she has any merit at all.
Before her there was a dragon character which was a bad self-insert of sorts who evolved into his own character somewhere down the line. I say "bad" because it was blatant, but he could be a real nasty person if he was convinced it was the right idea. I totally dropped him into the History Eraser chute a couple years ago, thoroughly embarrassed to have had him active at all. I went back a while ago and pilfered bits and pieces of his history to apply to other dragon characters (Ruari Auricama) who were intentionally less heroic and definitely not a protagonist. He is NEVER coming back, ever, because I have better ideas for characters now than "myself, but transformed into a dragon".
One of the earliest ones was the first time I tried to play a character, and I was in High School on an online game (before "MMO" became a standard term for this). He was immortal, in the sense he could be killed but he would spontaneously resurrect after a few weeks' time with diminished magic. Countering that, he could channel as much as he needed but if he overreached he would burn up; yet with spontaneous resurrection he was never really in danger of permanently dying. ("Hurts like a b*tch, though.") He had the sum of four hundred years' knowledge of people who carried an artifact which had awakened his innate magic, and the only cost was an occasional episode where he would wind up staring into space and reliving it as if it was him. I retired him a while ago, and when I have need of some wise sage to consult I generally pull him out . . . but his days of being active have been over for a while. If I ever use him again in any fashion it will be to kill him off for good and put him to rest properly so I can move forward rather than rehash him.
Any and all other characters are paragons of creative merit and are completely and unassailably original and totally not ripoffs of other people's writings. Except maybe Anthony, but nobody knows who he's based from anyway so that's okay.
