Is Your Character a Mary Sue?

Mary Sues. The most annoying, uninteresting and a nightmare to all character creators/writers and the people who read about them. They are obviously way too perfect to be considered "human"-someone whom we can relate to, and can only exist in mere fiction. And here you are, questioning if one of your characters is one or not. Mary Sues are difficult for inexperienced and normal people to detect these days, because they hide their Sue traits so well by being portrayed as good-looking,"really cool","badass" and flashy characters. However, one thing they can do nothing about is how wrong and bored we feel after observing them for a while. Ok, shall we begin hunting some Sues?

Have you ever wondered whether YOUR character is compelling and realistic enough to deserve other people's care, in other words, not a Mary Sue? This quiz here will help you find out that very answer. (Might apply to both heroes and villains) Also, brace yourself buddy. This quiz is quite long, but the more questions there are, the more accurate the result will be, right?
