Mary Sue is sort of a subjective marker, though. EDIT: Having read the test, I am surprised by how much individual characters can come out. I recommend those discouraged read the caveats here: missy.reimer.com/library/marysue.html . The phenomenon people are looking at here is, first of all, largely from fan fiction. If you're writing original fiction, the moniker already doesn't make so much sense. Secondly, it has to do with author insertion (which can be done in great literature: Hemingway was famous for doing just that, and Shakespeare is often thought as writing Prospero as a mouthpiece), clichéd and angsty characters (PLEASE stop writing these; why can't there be unabashed optimists?), and flawless characters (or, more likely, characters with comical and not very serious flaws: a bad singing voice is not even close to a flaw, a hot temper might be if that temper leads the character to do stupid or unjustifiable things - think Othello, a devastating physical condition that causes the person psychological problems is DEFINITELY a flaw - think House, etc.) |

so how high did you all score
13 for Derrick.
11-20 points: The Non-Sue. Your character is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue. Congratulations!

It depends on the character. Thrash got a 46, I think, largely due to his skills and immortality. Fred was a 67, somewhere below a 70. I've yet to go through it for Xeno, Badcat, Denios, Quion, or a bunch of other folks.

XD I got a 117 for Mace because I got a lot of powers and such, so I just started clicking. The angst, love, etc. Wow. XD I'm actually not in the least surprised.

Bizarre: Krane got a 33. That's, like, the epitome of the anti-Sue. Well, it's really not a good test for CotG characters, so I'd just adjust by like -30.
EDIT: Removing the powers, Krane is a 9. Yeah, there we go.
