Mary Sues... I hate them, you hate them, we all hate them. We like flawed characters, but these are those that don't bother with flaws... they are perfect, they are flawless, they are the greatest they can be... but if your character one? Is your character actually a Mary Sue without you realizing it? www.onlyfiction.net/ms-test.htmlHere is a test for those who want to see if their characters are good, or are actually Mary Sues in disguise. For a bit of reference, everyone's favorite Hellian Queen, Persephone, got a 33 on the test. Yeah, I myself was surprised to see Persy get this score. I was hoping she'd be lower... Now, let the trials and tests begin! |

Vesica: 19
Kadru: 13 (WTF? She's LOWER than Vesica?)
Crydmarr: 15
Talizan: 5 (And I though Kadru's was WTF worthy. Must be his willingness to use violence.)
Robert: 8
Oh, and people? Let us be HONEST about this, if we choose to post results.

Armageddon got like a 12. Kinda surprising, really.

Okay, so, Quetzar got a 40. Apparently he's a Mary Sue. Though I'm fairly certain that half of the points came from him simply not being human. Unusual eye color? Wings? Supernatural longevity? I don't think they're nearly as... jarring on a Mayan serpent-god from space than on a angsty teen.
I probably sound like I'm just frantically defending my character, but this test definitely wasn't made for giant monsters, where endless age and superpowers are the expected norm.

I agree with you on this. The test certainly is not made for supernatural monsters. |

Put Yuuka on the test... and she got a 49. UGH... that was to be expected, though.

I did the test for Ben and Natalie. I got a 12 and 16 respectively.

I just ignored most of the appearance and age specific ones BECAUSE they're kaiju. |

Yeah... this thing really isn't intended for giant monsters. Anyway:
Suchodon: 25
Pavoroc: 51 (it seems especially skewed against winged guardians...)
Neo-Spacegodzilla: 15
Kevin Anew: 26
Stella Pieres: 18

Yeah, kaiju and monsters in general don't quite fit into this test, however it seems to work alright for humans.

The easiest way to know if your character is (or is becoming) a Mary Stu/Gary Stu is simply to ask the others. Or use your judgement.

I like perfect ones as well to be honest.
Also the onlyfiction link seems to have 404'd. I sort of wanted to test a few of my monsters on it.
