Is Your Character a Mary Sue? | Comments

My new OC name is Petty the soldier gal. She had a dark past withe her parents.

My OC is Emily she had a dark past, she's a vampire and she's 29% Mary Sue.

Ive done this quiz so many times but most of my characters get 15 or lower. My lowest being 10%. I feel like I should fix her?

Valerie Decon (De-kin)

Shes 25 when it starts. Grew up in a household of several children due to her father constantly marrying and divorcing several women so he can get more children to experiment on ( so original, I know.) All the children have similar abilities varying slightly between them unless their twins, which she is (Twin brother). She shares a link with her brother and on their birthday every year they have to fight until one dies or it hits midnight, ending their birthday. All the sibling eventually get separated after their father cause this apocalyptic world from an experiment gone wrong. Shes trying to live in the new world she was thrown into at 16 and avoid her siblings. Some hate her, about two dont and some dont give a damn if shes dead of alive. She, however, inherited a disease from her mother. Its similar to Hemophilia but she has episodes of blurry vision, blood splurging everywhere and migraines. She has extreme OCD, and can come across as cold, brutish, and b----y at times. Well, shes cold and stiff pretty much all the time. Again, didnt get a high score but I feel like I still need to change her in order for her to be...idk better?

I got 16% Mary Sue, and I honestly thought it'd be higher.

Basically, my character is a wolf named Abilene. She's tiny and has a high-pitched voice even though she's 35, and always says it's because of her breed. She's an amazing healer, but also blind. She has special fireflies, their light changes color when it lands on something, so she can see it. The fireflies respond and do what she says. She has no unnatural colors or anything like that. My story involves some other characters, like Dakota and Skull who are German brothers that admire her skill. Natalie and Natalia who are twins, Natalie is really stupid, but Natalia is mute so can't really speak up against the retarded things she says. There's also Starla and Mocha, who aren't really main characters but appear in every other scene since they're her neighbors. Abilene is continuously shipped with Mocha by Starla, and Abilene is always extremely disgusted by it. Mocha is a pup and Abilene looks like a pup so... God, okay. This is too long, lemme just- Bye.

Got around a 30% Mary Sue, didn't know what I was expecting and my character is still vastly unwritten for now, but that's alright.

For those out of the loop, my character is Maru "Pluto" Realta. In the universe he comes from, planets and moons have vast concentrations of godly energy at their cores, called World Souls, which can be forged into god-like avatars. Maru is the World Soul of the dwarf planet Pluto. He is aware of a prophecy of a human-borne beast who ushers in an era of chaos and discord, bringing an end to all life in the solar system. And what does Maru, a human-borne beast do? He ushers in an era of chaos and discord, bringing an end to all life in the solar system, naively believing that ending humanity will put a stop to the prophecy, whilst at the same time fulfilling it. The story involves so many other characters, including Eris, Arrokoth, Sedna, Nemesis, Nibiru, Tyche, and so many others I could not name all of them here.

Hope y'all enjoyed; I look forward to your thoughts.

26% is lower than I was expecting - these tests are unable to take a lot of context into the equation, so they tend to be inaccurate at best and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Though I guess I know how to handle my overpowered, immortal energy beings well if all a major leader scores is 26% on a casual test when being one of the most powerful pieces in the game, so to speak.

But then, I also just focus on making my characters be well-rounded people first and foremost, and worry about anything else later.

The character I ran through this is an angel named Ambriel, who is the angel of harmony. Very powerful by mortal standards, and able to draw upon the energies of his home plane to augment his own when needed.

He's also a sweetheart dork who gets stage fright and has been through his fair share of troubled and fantastic experiences.

Uh i guess 30% isn't bad? I did think it would be higher... my characters name is logan. They are about 18 in human years, shaggy purple hair, purple eyes, and half human/half angel. As a child his dad had to run away with him as the angels hunted them down because cross species breeding was bad (His father was an archangel). They found a place in "heaven" to hide for a while. Anyway, they were caught before he turned 10 and the dad was killed, and the kids wings were ripped off, throwing him to earth. He was taken in by a friend (now bf) and yeah. Now hes fighting alongside them.

Holy cow, 27%

My oc is named Malina Jade Coswell, (one of seven main characters yes theyre ALL main characters) shes 14, has blonde-brown hair, and jade green eyes. When she was 4 years old her mom left her at a big school for elementalists from different dimensions to train for the war. Now, Malina is a darkness elementalist, but was unable to awaken her power for years. Blah blah blah stuff happens (too long and detailed, youll get bored) she gets her powers of controlling the shadows and stuff, and oooo juicy plot she kills her best friend/requited love with a gun.

Umm what else. Oh ya she can selfish and smug, and sometimes overly-cruel(in battle?). Shes kinda dependent on her friends cause theyre the only ones shes got, and one of them, who shares the same element as her, can stop her if she gets to voilent.

But, yknow overall shes a good person, cause in the end she noticed not just her friends mistakes but also hers, and was able to save the real good guy.

Well I cant think of anything else so thats all for now.

Thanks for reading my probably-crappy description

In Aquila's case, the main head is selfish, smug, reckless, and often cruel, while her other head is friendly, soft, and 'girly' so to speak

In one of the final episodes she will lose her 'good' head in a dramatic swordfight, causing her severe trauma, and forever changing her into a cruel monster. She eventually joins a group of bandits, becomes it's leader, and grows it into a large army of outcasts, pillaging and plundering the lands far and wide.

A got a 14%! I guess I could really spice the character up a bit :)

My character's name is Aquila (Eagle from latin). Her kind has the same physique as humans, except light green skin and two heads (her name is a pun, referencing the double-headed eagles on most European coat-of-arms). She was born to a poor family in a small town, and was orphaned at 5. She roamed around for a few years begging for food, until she was picked up by some bandits. She grew up with them, and eventually started pillaging with them. She became very good at melee combat because of being left handed (which in real life gives a lot of advantage in a sword-fight). At the age of 20 she left the band, and became a mercenary. At the beggining of the story itself she and her 2 friends work at a bar in a random god-forsaken town, and essentually protect it from other bandits in exchange for staying rent-free at the second floor of the building. They still need to get money however, and so they take stereotypical adventure quests from strangers that end up going through that bar. The story is for an animated series in the making, and every episode will be a different mini-adventure, kind of like Rick and Morty in terms of length.

There is also a special way members of Aquila's race grow up:

In adults, both heads have polar-opposite personalities, but despite that are more or less in sync. They have 1 will and mind however, and balance eachother out. Every adult has 1 dominant head, which ends up defining in which direction the personality goes. That head can talk, while the secondary head is mute for life. Despite the main head making the decisions, the second head always has influence over it.

When they are born, both heads are mute. As the child grows, both heads develop those polar personalities, and eventually, based on the decisions and unbringing,one of the heads becomes the dominant one and gains the ability to speak, roughly at the age of 12.

In Aquila's case, the main head is selfish, smu

I got a 9%. My character's name is Lila, she's a fandom character (Undertale) more specifically, she's one of the kids that Asgore took the soul of. She's an orphan, she grew up in an orphanage until she ran away at the age of 10. She climbed the mountain (I forget what it's called) and fell to the Underground. Toriel found her and took her in, and she stayed with Toriel for a few days until she grew tired of the same routine and managed to excape. However, Asgore found her and took her soul within a few hours, as she was grossly unprepared for the rest of the Underground. She contributes to a lot of Toriel's guilt about not being able to save any children.

Appearance-wise, she's skinny with stringy black hair, blue eyes, and freckles. She likes to dress extravagantly but she doesn't own many clothes. She most often wears a small, beat-up tutu.

She's super wimpy, scared of the dark, and she has asthma, which is why Asgore got her so quickly.

Lololololol I can't say I'm all that surprised with the 7% I got. I love the old man dearly, but I haven't done nearly enough to flesh him out. His name is Gary and he's an old blind guy who's really into death metal and being a good dad. He makes a living by making and selling custom electric guitars and he spends most of his free time doing artsy s--- with his adopted daughter. The kid's name is Blake, and they're actually supposed to be the main character but shhhh don't tell anyone.

Dang, Isaac. You are incredibly boring. 4%. I get it. I purposefully made Isaac kinda average to make up for his status in the demon world. He is the heir to the underworld, but his father doesnt trust him, as Isaac is incredibly kind and sweet. Isaac has depression and anxiety. He is so unnoticeable in the overworld that the only people who know him are his small friend group made up of a few mistreated demons. Basically, he hated his life in the underworld so since his father was a reaper (a demon who teleports to the overworld to collect souls) before he became ruler, Isaac had that ability and used it to start a life in the overworld where he and his friends were just like every other human. He goes to a human high school and meets the love of his life, a human boy who happened to be the smartest kid in the entire school and was WAY out of Isaac's league.

Hmmmm...

I never new that a space cat muderer would get a 15%

Wow

23%. I'm not too surprised about this, noting that a few of the mary sue-esqe questions that involved looks I answered 'yes' to. I just think if you were to really look into my character's backstory, you'd sorta understand it more. The character I used was Tayami Ito, which was for creepypasta. Her backstory plays a huge part in her appearance, and I'd have to go into her entire backstory which would take too long to fully unfold.
