Editing Setting:The Editors (section)

==SUEs==

SUEs are the primary enemy of the setting. We call them Mary Sues normally, but in the context of the Editors' Setting, SUE stands for Supernaturally Unbalanced Entities. They are roughly described as destructive, attention-seeking demigods (but to use the term demigods is an approximate descriptor due to how they can wield immense power). It would be easy if SUEs only had mind control as their powerset, but that is not the case. Not all SUEs are alike, as some are very weak or only have mind-control, whereas the ones known as Arch-SUEs have powers so immense they twist many worlds and their inhabitants to their whims. To this end, the means to defeat SUEs are tackled on a case-by-case basis. 

In theory SUEs originate from unskilled authors in "realspace" (the 'Real-life' Earth). Sources of SUEs usually come from fanfiction.net and deviantart. Yet, it is not just "bad" fanfiction and fanart that they originate from. SUEs can come from even fangames as well. In other words, the effect of bad authors on the meta will materialize as SUEs. 

It is under debate whether to treat SUEs humanely or communicate with them in civilized ways. Some are merely animalistic or one-track minded, not dissimilar to bipedal human-sized virii, and others are intelligent masterminds capable of terrifying schemes and strategies. Depowering a SUE is a luxury; killing them is priority. 

Typical SUE combat is risky and messy affair, but it is possible to beat them without stooping to the same level as they do via assassination and clever work. Open combat is often suicidal and destructive.

Combat against SUEs is also possible by harnessing the power of devices known as Reality Emitters. These things weaken or cancel out SUE powers to make them capable of being defeated. In most cases it brings down their capabilities such that they can be beaten in physical or magical combat. Others require greater feats of power to quell.  There are many varieties of reality emitters up to capital ship-grade versions, as well as actual upgrades to them. Other organizations have similar devices to reality emitters and some may have additional abilities as well.

::''Notable examples of Arch-SUEs, are Sapphy and Chaosbringer.''

Beyond the obvious threat of SUEs, many other enemies and threats lie across the Meta. Rival armies, superweapons, horrors, and various criminals roam wild....
