Answer to Brittonbubba 's comment from another thread (curiosity won in the end ^ ^)

''« I was dared by my brother and sister to read it because they had already read the whole thing and they were laughing their asses off. »''

I’m glad they could get a good laugh out of it, life isn’t exactly all bunnies and rainbows, and any reprieve is good to take.

''« I, on the other hand, had to stop halfway because it was getting the better of me, causing me physical pain. »''

You really should have just stopped, dare be damned ^ ^;

''« The fact people had to make their own power, "Lawrence Immunity", or as one character put it, "F**K OFF LAWRENCE", should be a sign that not even other OP characters want any of this. »''

I’ve always been impressed by the strong emotions the character tends to generate, seeing as he doesn’t even exist in the first place. As a very popular character once said (who is ironically much worse than mine) "Why so serious ?" ^ ^;

''« "Invincible Monster" already set off alarms in my head that this wasn't going to be fun for me. "Alpha Sweetheart" was giving me violent diarrhea. »''

Well, Lawrence does have a number of non-human characteristics that are as much awe-inspiring as genuinely terrifying (the two main meanings of “monster”), and for all intents and purposes he is effectively and thoroughly invincible, so the alias fits him perfectly.

As for the later, he is definitely an alpha male, both in regard to his capabilities and success, and yet vastly kinder and more caring of women than most any alpha you can encounter in real life (yes they do exist : compare the average joe to the average superstar, and it should become obvious).

So "Alpha Sweetheart" does fit him like a glove as well. I understand you may feel uncomfortable about the whole thing, but that’s factually true.

''« His alignment as "Neutral Awesome" turned me into Vinesauce Joel's dad as I screamed "HELP ME, JESUS!!!" It's just self-exaltation. Couldn't you have some sort of humbleness and just not? »''

Neutral Awesome was both a funny and cool parody of the classical alignment system, and quite a fitting one as well, so I just couldn't resist ^ ^ Besides, "awesome" actually underrates a hell lot the sheer magnitude of his prowess and achievements, so the humbleness you’re looking for is already there.

''« Then, he has all of these jobs, which the Mary Sue Litmus Test calls "Barbie Doll Syndrome": given all of these occupations or professions no matter how irrelevant they are to each other. »''

His endless talents are the direct product of his primary abilities. When you can absorb/replicate anything without limit, and have the mental capacity to process it all, becoming amazingly good at virtually anything is trivially easy. Here again and despite appearances, the way it is said actually underrates the reality of it by a gigantic margin.

''« Then there's the overuse of any word relating to hedonism. Like, couldn't you mix it up a bit? Or just not constantly mention it? »''

As a matter of fact, there are very few suitable synonyms, so I’m bound to use it multiple times. Which is only natural, considering it is a central psychological feature of the character the sheet is about.

''« And ALL of the citizens of his city are his wives and daughters...? I'm all for polyamory, but only within reasonable boundaries (I usually cross the line at five partners, and six would be pushing it). Marrying every woman in a city is just overkill courtesy of Wish Fulfillment Central. »''

The "right" number actually depends on your capability to genuinely and durably fulfill your life partners. In real life, that means two would be ideal, three would be manageable, and anything beyond cannot really work due to simple human limits, and is just selfish greed at their expense.

Lawrence is not human. With unlimited mental capacity and physical ubiquity, he has the necessary availability to properly take care of everyone involved, no matter how many they are. Be they ten or ten billions, they all receive just as much attention anyway, so any number is the "right" one for him.
