Kyle Armalin: Difference between revisions

'''Kyleton Isaiah Armalin''', Ph.D, Col.(U.S.M.C.R.), is a fictional character who acts as the primary nemesis in [[Brother Grimace]]'s [[Alternate Universe|alternate-universe]] ''Daria'' fan fiction-in-progress, "[[It's All About Respect]]." He is unique in that he is one of the few new African-American characters introduced into the ''Daria'' universe, as well as being one of a small number of adult characters who have been shown to have equal and/or even superior intelligence to [[Daria Morgendorffer]].

Kyle first appeared in the fanfic "[[Lunch Hour In Lawndale]]". However, he is best known for his role in [[It's All About Respect]].

Soon after Kyle's appearance in 'It's All About Respect', there were several mentions on PPMB at to how Kyle was a 'Mary Sue' character; these accusations seemed to be stemming from a number of scenes in 'IAAR' where Kyle was seen in minor confrontations with Daria where she didn't fare well. The author answered these charges with a posting detailing the shortcomings of the character, after which those claims fell silent. There is, however, a lingering belief that Kyle IS a 'Mary Sue' in that he is a self-insert character that mirrors the author's own fantasies of wish-fulfillment.
