Mary Sue Litmus Test

[Aramara Meibi]

Are we a game populated with Mary Sues?

...most likely

see for yourself.

read the instructions carefully and keep in mind that you can not control how other characters act towards your character. I tried to answer more based on the background I have written for Ara than what's occurred in game.

btw, Ara scored a 24.

[Dannae]

That was kind of interesting to do. I had a 21 up to the last part where points get subtracted and ended up with a 10 after that. Half of the questions I answered yes to were for things about how other chars. act towards mine where I feel like I have no direct control over. I guess there's room for more "spice" according to this test.

[Phantomboy86]

25 here, they gotta increase the font size on that website. >.<

[Mekora]

Got a 21... Mostly due to Mekora's cowardliness. ;P

[Aramara Meibi]

Icerra got -1

[steuben]

steuben managed to score a 19... but i think he should be a bit higher.

and oddly my pet villian, sulus, seems to score a 16, and he was designed to be a mary sue.

[Sarras Volcae]

this is so old my great granny was named after this test. still, it's good for the noobs to be reminded once in a while.

-13!  sarras wins!

not wasting my time testing other characters. 

[provisionist1]

Interesting... Xirius got a 9.

[zanzibar]

My main character got a zero. I feel bad that I didn't get a negative score.

[Candy]

Monala got 16 (saved by the de-suifiers, too) and Chays got 11...my other characters aren't really developed enough for a fair shot at this.

[Illysia]

Oh hey! This test! I haven't seen this since I posted that link 4 years ago. Nice to see the numbers have come down since then. I retook the test for Illy and this time I got a 3... I guess she got even less sueish over time.

Monala got relatively high scores cause of the crazy huh Candy? I'm surprised that Dannae got up to 21 though.

[Tessra]

Hehehe.... Ok, I got 16 for Tesh, but if I discount some of the actions based on other characters in game, it drops to 6.

I particularly love this line:

Is your character ever manipulated or used as an unwitting pawn by someone without the aid of mind-control technology, magic, or drugs?
*With tragic results?

Seriously, these people have never heard of Travosh.

I remember! 

I'd love it if someone made one of these for PS. It could have a section on roleplay depth, like whether or not your interactions with other characters carry forward to future roleplays, or bonus points for allowing your character to permadeath (when it advances the roleplay environment). The survey has a lot on writing characters and forming plotlines, but it has slightly less on how you run your character. It's still awesome though.

[Aramara Meibi]

yes, I found the survey to be geared more towards fanfics or original fiction, where the author is in control of how other characters treat the character in question.

and sorry Illysia for reposting the link... I wasn't around 4 years ago.

[Sarras Volcae]

anyone gonna try to beat me? -13! if you even get a -12 i'll still give you a fresh, warm, melty chocolate chip cookie!
