    Distinctions from similar words:

    [Mary-Sue]: This is distinct from mary-sue because characters generally have flaws, but which end up making them cooler as opposed to actually flawed.
    [Try-hard]: Edgy characters go for diversity in their coolness instead of a specific theme. An edgy character is much more diversely cool, whereas a try-hard goes for something specific, like only using knives or hates color because he/she is goth.
