All Sued Up and No Place to RP

Mary Sue on board! This one in from an rpg that is based on a made up highschool where all the kids have magical/mutant powers. It's more like an X-Men universe than a Harry Potter universe but the same general idiocy prevails.
.
First Name: Kryssa
Last name: Maxwell
.
Again... this can't all be done in one line that reads Full Name? I guess I should forgive them and start my Mary Sue database.
.
Age: 16
Gender: Girl
.
She's a young girl frought with Mary Sue-ness. Brace yourself for this next bit of crap.
.
Power Description:
.
1. Kryssa can read people’s minds. This is sometimes a good thing, and sometimes not. She can tell if someone is going to pull a prank or something like that, but it makes it harder for her to have a boyfriend, because she can read his mind and tell if he is cheating on her, or even what it is he wants from her. (Some people’s thoughts scare her…)
.
This RPG allows every member three powers and nearly all of them list mind reading. Will it shock you to know that this rpg failed miserably? There are two role playing threads total and no one has touched this place in a year. Maybe it's because everyone knows what everyone else is thinking so there's no need for actually doing anything.
.
2. Kryssa can time travel. She doesn’t use this power as much as she uses the other two, because she is very careful of how she acts and makes good choices…(just like the rest of you should…LOL jk) no. She likes to travel back in time if something happens that is funny, or something good happens. The day she got her first kiss, she went back as many times as she could just to feel the feeling…(and then, she read his mind…it was BAD) LOL
.
LOL! Boys think about sex! LOL! We can trust this Sue when she says we can trust her judgment as to how to use her powers! LOL! She's sucking out my soul and I'm not ever role playing with her. LOL!
.
3. Kryssa can expand her molecules so that she becomes invisible. This is the power that she uses when she knows that something embarrassing is going to happen, or when she wants to know if something is up…This is also one of those powers that sometimes (ok, a lot of the time) causes her problems. She cant really control this power as much as she would like to think she can…so, needless to say, sometimes if her emotions become real strong, she literally disappears!
.
So... how often does this happen? If she disappears just once, how does she get back? There is no her to think, "Oh crap! Not again! I better come back." I guess if you are a Sue you don't need to explain this.
.
Pet they wish to adopt: Well, Kryssa would like to have a tortoiseshell cat. (Preferably a female…) that is litter box trained so she can keep her in the dorm.
.
Maybe she can mess with the cat's molecules and make it invisible. I think my cats can become invisible when I'm carrying things that could spill so I only see them the second before I trip on them.
.
Description: Kryssa is sort of tall, but then, she is short. Her actual height (without shoes) is five feet five inches. (With shoes, she gets another inch and a half…maybe.) (SHUT UP!) She is very pretty—Her hair is light brown, almost a dirty blonde color, but not quite, (SHUT UP MORE!) she has crystal blue eyes that have a ring of midnight blue around the outer part of them. (And they change color!) Her hair is long—it comes down her back to a spot just above her hips, (Oh. Her waste, you mean) and she always tries to find another style to put it in for each day. (Sometimes she stuffs it all under a wig and pretends to be Hannah Montana) She favors baggy pants, but prefers tighter shirts. (She NEVER wears any shirt that shows cleavage, but she likes to show off her belly button ring, so…LOL. (Squee!) Normally, she wears some color of converse shoe, but is known for wearing flip flops. She likes to wear stylish earrings. Sometimes, she wears just studs, but on a normal day, she will wear some sort of flashy dangling earrings. (I have a feeling she has other holes in her head that she's not mentioning.)
.
Picture: (No longer works. Pity! We can't see how hot she is.)
.
Characteristics: Kryssa is all good. She uses her powers for good. (Sometimes she does use them to benefit herself, but there is always a reason) She has the attitude of a leader, and she loves to help the people around her. She takes it into her own hands if somebody is doing something harmful (in anyway) to another person. (Meaning she will fix all problems so she can stand back, wind in her hair and be admired for her gloriousness.) She knows her mind reading skills very well, and she can move memories, manipulate the minds of others, and even see into their past.) She only manipulates minds if she absolutely has to…she’s not mean like that, and she doesn’t believe in using her powers to benefit only herself. (Uh huh. Don't hold your breath.) Kryssa is a kind-hearted person. She is an animal lover, and back home she has horses. The only thing Kryssa expects other people to do for her is o not second guess her. If she voices her opinion, she knows she is right, especially if it comes to something like the future—she will take a person to the future to prove a point if she has to. (and she has…) (She's always right. What an arrogant, evil, horrible Sue.) She is respectful, and respected among her peers and teachers. She generally is a quiet person and doesn’t enter a fight that she cant win, and doesn’t try to prove a point unless she has facts that will help her prove it. (She's quiet save for the incesstant meddling.)
.
History: When Kryssa was a child, she was teased by her sisters and brother for being “different.” Her parents tried to hide her from the world, and almost succeeded, until one day, when she was thirteen, she decided she wanted more from life. She found this high school that had other kids like her in it and she had her parents enroll her. It is far away from where she lived as a child, but she is okay with that. She has had a total of two boyfriends in her life. The first one broke up with her because she was reading his thoughts, and replying to them, without even really knowing it! The second was just a dud, because he cheated on her…
.
Shouldn't she have seen that coming? What kind of psychic is she?
.
Role Play: It was her first day at a new high school. She was hopeful that this high school would offer more for her than the others did. She stood there, clad in baggy black cargo pants, a form-fitting t-shirt, a zip-up hoodie sweater, and lime green flip-flops. She glanced at the principal as she babbled on about the school. But Kryssa was not paying attention to her, she was focused on what looked like a couple of bullies trying to use their power to scare a younger kid. She glared their way and sent a mental message to them, “If I were you, I wouldn’t do that…” (So where is she in relation to this principal? She's able to casually look away and address these boys with her mind and no one, in a school full of mind readers catches this?) The two boys turned to look at her, surprise on their faces. She raised an eyebrow and stood there, glaring at them. “Well?” she asked, “What’s it gonna be?” They smirked at her, and the one who could move objects with is mind picked up a chair and threw it at Kryssa. She ducked swiftly and gracefully out of the way. (Like a fucking ballerina. And where is this principal? I guess you don't need one when a Sue as cool as this is enrolled in your school. You can just sit back and let them discipline other kids.) She rolled her eyes and dove into his thoughts. She made him forget that they were fighting, and remember that he was going to be late for his next class. “Well, see ya later!” he said, as he waved good bye. (Huh? I thought she had all sorts of froofy reservations about manipulating someone's brain but it seems she is quite casual about it.) She rolled her eyes and focused on the other boy. “So, show me watcha got?” she brushed the words across his mind silently, as she looked him in the eye. “She was surprised when he just shook his head and walked away. “I’ve no time for you,” the words brushed across her mind in a gentle whisper. She stood there, in shock, but shrugged it off and grabbed her book bag and headed to her very first class. (Ooh! A love interest she has to tame, perhaps? And what of the boy being picked on? Who cares. If he's lame enough to be picked on then our Sue has no time for him.)
.
I bet this Sue could teach every class too, if you let her. She just rocks that much. She should graduate and become president of all things awesome... you know. If she isn't already.

And since she's a Mary Sue, and one with those powers at that, what fight can't she win?

She should graduate and become president of all things awesome... you know. If she isn't already.
And since she can time travel, she will. Not for her own benefit, mind you, but for the benefit of all humankind. Because she's always right, of course...

It's a pity that the mods/creators of this RPG didn't set some ground rules regarding what kind of powers were permitted. I'm a sucker for superhero RPGs. :o)
