I made a PS Specific Mary Sue Test

[Illysia]

I finally made a test. It is short and I made it late at night, (meaning I was half delirious at the time)  but I made it. Play around with it and have fun. 

PS Mary Sue Litmus Test

[Eliseth]

0% Mary Sue \o/

I'd add a bit more detail to the quiz though, the end comment told me to flesh my character out a little... my characters are plenty fleshed out!

Maybe once I have gotten some sleep. Although I will only be about to do about 37 or so questions maximum. Characters can get pretty complicated.

Out of curiousity, I checked what's the result of a player that is "just playing"; mining platinum and grinding on monsters (basically, one that should get 0%):

Congradulations! You are 62% Mary Sue.
 
Sorry, but your character is very close to being a full fledged Mary Sue. You might want to cut back on some of the cliches like having your whole family killed in front of you by a maurading Enkidukai band and then hating all Enkidukai.

Something's terribly wrong here :P

[Parallo]

0%

I only mine platinum when I need it. Which is never.

[Ralleyon]

0% too. Yay!

[Candy]

7%?

Huh. Must be the angsty past or somethin'. >_>;

"in a world where everyone strives to be unique, everyone ends up being the same."

[Dajoji]

Nice test Illysia

Maybe add something about going to the tavern to cry instead of just having a drink?

[Shaman]

Wow, Roboki is only a 17% mary sue.

[Parallo]

"in a world where everyone strives to be unique, everyone ends up being the same."

And in a world where everyone is the same, everyone strives to be unique. Everything is a tautology at the end of the day.

Congratulations! You are 62% Mary Sue.

Not really. Mary Sues are cliches and even grinders have a few cliches. Someone who who grinds a little and has a little story won't get that high a score. No one has gotten 100% though. 

[Duraza]

Only 13%? This test needs to be fixed, I usually score in the 80-90 percentile
Just kidding, good job  I woulda got 0% if it weren't for that question about angsty pasts

"in a world where everyone strives to be unique, everyone ends up being the same."

And in a world where everyone is the same, everyone strives to be unique. Everything is a tautology at the end of the day.

And thus, people should strive to be just themselves, and not worry about anyone else's looks, mannerisms, etc, for all we truly ever are and ever will be, are, ourselves.

Which happens to be like everyone else's "ourselves"...
