When you get down to it Skysaber's biggest issue is he obsesses over one single issue... summed up his operating theory is: 'Mind rape makes everything
better!'... That is usually what goes on... he mind controls most of the cast and then ends up as the Uber. Once he runs out of people to smother he quits
the fic... for a while at least. Though some character's escape his grasp... Akane Tendo for instance... his plots are mainly driven by him smothering the
world in his Awesome. These characters that won't smother are the ones he concentrates on bashing... they simply won't bow to his will. Which means
the image he has of them is so powerful his ego can't smother that character's personality in his mind. Which is why I think they get targeted for
destruction... they challenge the Great, Grand, Will of Skysaber!... this description would include the adjective 'Omnipotent', save for these
mountains of Anti-Elvis that will not bow in his own head. That the unbending image he has is often based on bad fanon caricatures of characters is largely
irrelevant.
I've described this as a sociopathic tenancy in the past. He is smarter and better than everyone else, in his own mind. Resistance is useless and as soon
as someone disproves this he freaks out... either directing the entire plot toward smothering this derelict character or yelling at the person and calling them
wrong... if this doesn't work and the people/person resists bowing anyway, he freaks further and makes whatever point he is driving home more dynamic and
prevalent in his mind and writing. If this still doesn't work... or he ran out of 'evidence' of his opinion... he runs away from the story or
writing for a few months or even years. Free Will that doesn't mirror his own is like his personal Kryptonite... and works like a holy symbol on the
undead.
In short, if he was put in one of his own scenarios and ended up 6 in a classroom and was in a total honesty field... when asked what he wanted to be when he
grew up... I think the real answer would be:
"I want to be a Borg Queen when I grow up!"
Not to say he is mindless or useless as a writer, he has been entertaining for hundreds of kilobytes a story in the past... its just he is the guy who wrote
like a meg, meg and a half of 'Mirrors Multiplied' and then revealed the point was to set up a scenario were he could get away with stating that Akane
is the irredeemable, anti-Elvis. Of course this came after he got declared Super Sameria heritage man and got to have infinity +34,922 legal wives from it...
which consisted of most of the female, atrractive, named characters from pretty much every anime series he had watched. Minus the anti-Elvis.
One of the reasons I'm still entertained by Perfect Lionheart's 'Chunin Exam Day' is that that Skysaber tribute band apparently has a muse that
is beating some of this out of him. I mean the story stalled as he tried to prove Sakura the unchanging anti-Elvis. Only to find out that he got writer's
block for trying to do so. In fact, he broke Sakura's mindless fangirlism several times before it stuck and even went out of his way to make sure the
endlessly looping Naruto actually gave major indications of being insane and crazy and loony at the same time. Later he actually had other characters yelling
at him and arguing with his decisions. Things even go spectacularly wrong all the time. In otherwords things happen to keep it intresting.
Basically, I think 'Chunin Exam Day' is like 'Dances with Wolves'... regardless of what else he has done... that one movie validated Kevin
Costner's career.
