Sunflower Official

The Sunflower Official, sometimes called the SO, is the head of the Department of Mary Sues. It is said to be the oldest of the Flowers.

The SO first appears in TOS Mission 5, "What Might Have Been."

Origins
When a black hole swallowed the small yellow sun of the SO's homeworld, he was the first to be brought to sentience by the radiation that followed, making him one of the Firstborn. Soon after, he participated in the plothole-manipulating experiments that led to the creation of Headquarters. He was head of the PPC throughout its early history, until 1992 HST, when the Mysterious Somebody arrived in HQ; the MS used his Force powers to cause an insanity epidemic in the PPC and cause the death of the Poppy, leading to the SO abdicating his position and beginning the Somebody's reign.

The Reorganisation
During the Reorganisation, the Sunflower Official was instrumental in the expulsion of the Mysterious Somebody and the DIS. After that, he formed the Board of Flowers, the DES, and the DIA and DIO in order to prevent the bloodshed from happening again.

Harm from Agents
Not all agents are sane, and even the ones that are get furious from time to time. Once, the SO was tied up and surrounded with bear traps. Another time, an agent used the Avis spell from Harry Potter to conjure up several species of goldfinch, as goldfinches just love sunflower seeds.

Alternate Universe Death
In the Tangled Webs story "Shades of Black and Red," the SO was charged with trying to restart the Mary Sue Factory, as well as trying to release several DIS members from custody. Because of that, he was burned to death by the Mysterious Somebody and his minions. A video of that event came to the Multiverse Monitor staff's hands in the main PPC continuum, giving rise to the SO Conspiracy Theory.

Radio Plays
In the PPC Playscripte Radio Play, the SO was voiced by Huinesoron.
