Is Your Character a Mary Sue? | Comments

I got 23%. Not horrible, Id say. My OC is a catboy- or- cat nb- who was based off of the infamous UwU cat. Their name is Jay. They wear a lot of pink and have pink hair and eyes, different shades, though. Theyre generally sweet, but just a little bit egotistical sometimes. One person fell in love with them (it was, of course, my own version of the infamous demon alpha wolf bad boy). They also have autism. I love them so much.

I also got 27% for a different OC. His name is Yukio, and hes sort of based off of Eijiro Kirishima. Hes kind to people and also insecure. He also has red hair and eyes- but in a different way than Kirishima. I know that doesnt make sense- but yk. He lived in an abusive household until he was rescued by another one of my OCs when he was about 16 or 15. Hes also autistic because I make all of my OCs somewhat like me nobody has ever fallen in love with him, but that wasnt an option so I had to put 1-3. Anyways, I love him too

I did this for my OC named Zander and I got 13%

He lives in a post apocalyptic distant frozen desert land that was ravaged by global warming and then machines.

He's kind of like this tired 30+ old scientist that was tasked long ago by the government to retrieve life on earth 1000+ years after the catastrophy.

He was genetically preserved in a tank in a secret labratory underground where he was released from after all attempts of stopping the catastrophy failed, 18 yrs old at the time and tasked to literally reboot the entire eco system is kind of a big burden to put on barely an adult.

He lives in that labratory and almost exclusively never goes out because he's terrified he might catch a disease or get hurt and that might halt his progress in his research, so basically a wimpy mad scientist guy in a post apocalyptic sci-fi setting.

Zander is 6'2 in height, lean with almost no muscle and a really pale complexion, he has curly shoulder length brown hair and usually wears a long brown trench coat and a grey turtleneck underneath, he also wears round glasses and has pernament eye bags.

I got a 29% on the quiz, at first I was scared that Joseph was going to be a Mary sue because he did not have a horrible depressing back story like most shonen anime characters, but he is not. I am so happy because of that. Joseph is a 16 year old apprentice mage that specializes in healing magic an he joined a guild of other people that use magic too. He soon makes friends along his journey of becoming a mage and he makes a group of friends. That's all the story is for now, I will make many changes to it. I am just sooooo happy that Joseph is not a mary sue I love him too much to change him.

I used some of my OCs for this to determine if I needed to work on them, but I will show you my MAIN one, Airbus.

20%

Airbus is a 19 year old air dragon that is in high school and is roommates with a friend she's had since middle school named Emily. She has wind elemental powers, but is lazy so she doesn't use them much. She also is overweight, but she still tries to go above and beyond when it comes to helping people. Is this good because I left a TON of details out because I didn't want to go past the character limit.

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

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.

I got 20%. My OC is a bit of an antihero in the way that she's extremely physically hostile towards almost anyone due to trauma in the past, and is generally viewed as a bully when the story starts. (She develops into a much more kind person as the story goes on with the help of another friend.) My story involves two races, Imps, and Sprites. Essentially, when you die, depending on how you do on a written test, you become an Imp or a Sprite. Imps bring suffering on human beings who deserve the punishment. For example: A guy cheats on his partner, but the partner divorces him. An imp would be sent down to earth in human form, pretend to be in love with the guy, perhaps marry them, and cheat on him, purposefully getting caught. Sprites bring good fortune to those who deserve it. For example: If a child gave their umbrella to a cat being soaked in the rain resulting in them getting soaked, a sprite would give the child an umbrella big enough for the two of them. Now that that's out of the way: My OC is around 5'1-5"5 throughout the course of the story as she ages. She has short, messy purple hair, light purple skin, freckles, a muscular build, purple eyes, and dark purple horns. She tends to not care about her appearance, as it is not important to her. (Imp/sprite children only age until about 18. If an adult dies who's under 65, they stay their age forever. If an adult dies over the age of 65, they revert back to around age 40.) A quirk about her is that she has emetophobia (fear of vomiting) and can be brought to tears if the subject of sickness is brought up. (this is a bit of a self insert from me as i personally have it, hehe.) Most people do not like her at the start of the story due to her being a massive jerk, but as the story progresses she gets a few close friends as she stops being so selfish. I'm sorry if this made no sense, I wrote this out for fun.

Alright, so I took this quiz for my Detroit Become Human fan character, an AP700 android called Lina. I got 15%, which Im not sure is accurate, although it could be.

Pretty much she worked in situation similar to Markus, where she worked for a rich human who treated as part of the family. She was named by his daughter, who named Lina after her mom, Carolina. Lina had to take care of the girl, a 7 year old whos name is Carla. She also had to clean the house for them, make their food, all the regular duties of her model. But she saw on the news what was going on outside, androids getting rounded up and sent to camps. She became a devient as a cause of it, and left that same night without telling anyone. She tried to find her way to Jericho. She almost got killed in the streets by some drunken idiots who blamed androids for everything, barely getting away in time. She was injured, and found help at Jericho. However, Lina did have to escape, like everyone else, when Jericho was attacked by the FBI. She got severely injured, getting shot at by guards. Luckily the bullets didnt hit any bio components. She ran back to her family, who had been searching for her, trying to tell themselves that she wasnt dead. They found her huddled in an alleyway near their house, and managed to patch her up before any damage could be done from the cold.

Honestly 15% is probably not enough, but I genuinely dont know

Did it with another character (in an original story). 21%... I need to spice her up a bit I think. Her name is Kanna Nightingale, and she was born and raised by her poor parents in criminal territory, which is why shes so good at fighting and in shape. Shes also born with one red and and one blue eye, which is considered dangerous where she lives, so she has to wear an eyepatch. When she is 13, a rapist tries something with her 7 year old sister, and he ends up seeing her eye, and stabbing it when shes trying to protect her sister. It turns out the rapist was actually a really powerful businessman, and he frames her parents for child abuse. He bribes the judge, and manages to sentence them to life in prison. Kanna, who is now missing an eye, blames herself and her parents for what happened (long story about the parents part) and hides her injury (shes now missing her red eye) from her brother and sister, and barely interacts with them for 4 years. She also becomes an illegal fighter, because she wants to save up enough money in order to get out of the town. Im still trying to write this story, but Im failing miserably...

I got 28%.

My OC, Sebby, is a sort-of self-insert, since he's named after me. His eyes are blue and his hair is black.

In my world, Sebby's a good fighter in the world, as he has a black belt in hie main martial art, Shotokan karate. Like me, he comes from Puerto Rico. However, he has a horrible past, as his parents were killed during a horrible accident by the Kaboom Organization. As a result, he now lives with his friends in the National Fighter House, where he swears revenge against the Kaboom Organization.

Oh, and he's also a bad singer and can't write a good song. But he is a fanatic of pinball and thrill rides, just like me.

If you have any suggestions about the other OCs in my world (who I try to come up) let me know.

I got 17%.

This story is hard sci-fi with real science and no FTL.

In the story, "WARFORM", Kyle has his brain frozen in the late 2020s and gets woken up thousands of years later, as an artificial intelligence in control of a warform.

Humanity has been in a war of extermination with an alien civilization for the last 460 years, and humans are losing. The frontlines are now deep into human territory, with the Taust system being contested by the warforms.

The warforms are massive starships equipped with an AI, each of them lobotomized versions of the OG Kyle (referred to in the story as Alpha-Kyle). The beta-Kyles have massive computing power, no self-preservation, no morals, and total obedience to the State. But they lack that *spark* that an unmodified upload of alpha-Kyle would have.

That's where the main character, gamma-Kyle comes in. He fights with the inscrutable alien fleets in strategic, hard sci-fi battles, until he makes an unusual friend...

Did that on Clestin: a little wizard whos really terrible at magic (and will stay like that). He is blonde, wearing normal clothes. Hes french (Im french, the story is set up in France), have super kind parents, hes 13 (3 years younger than me) have no trauma, is not involved in any prophecies. His clumsiness is actually the reason of the plot of my whole story: doing a time spell instead of another (I havent thought of what spell it should be) and yeah, thats pretty much the character ! Got a 17%

I got 18%. My oc is a teenage girl named Sonya Clifford. Her past used to be perfect until her stepbrother got killed while they were on a family trip. They never found the culprit for the murder. Her stepdad left the family and her mother got depressed by this. When she became 17 years old she moved into her own house with her butler. Now she has an unhealthy obsession trying to find the killer of her stepbrother and she shuts everyone elses out of her life. And no she doesnt have powers, shes just a cold and bratty but still lowkey intelligent teenage girl.

I got 19%

My oc is named Sochii, who is a demigod. She has selective memory, and doesn't remember too much about her childhood, so she tries not to think about it. Since she was born a demigod, she was born with a single power: anything she draws comes to life, but usually the drawing fades away after a little while. While she can be a bit strange and scare people with her strangeness, once you know her she's a nice girl who tries her best to bring out the good in others. (She's honestly my Minecraft skin with a backstory.)

25%
Name: Tracei
Species: Dog
Gender: Female
Age: 22

Preferences: Anyone, as long as she trusts them or thinks they might like her back.

Main fandom/originated fandom: Happy Tree Friends

Birthday: May 18th, 1998

Bio: Tracei is a 22 year old dog who enjoys relaxing, reading, and having fun with some coffee and friends. She did experience some negative experiences as a child/teen, as her parents separated when she was 12, and she started going to therapy a few months after. Whenever she hears yelling, screaming, overall threats, even if pretend, or anything that reminds her of her parents' divorce, she can't stop herself from harming the people who said/did these things, and once all is said and done, she immediately regrets it and starts crying. Her main weapon of choice is a knife, or pepper spray. She chose her father for custody, and personally liked it when they used to calm down and read a book or play a game. Her current crush is Flippy, a 22 year old bear. She mainly likes him because he reminds her of her father, who passed when she was 17. She also likes him for his overall personality. She hasn't asked him out to a date yet, as she is afraid he will reject her/start hating her.

I got a 19%. I dont know if I'm satisfied because my character DOES technically have a mental disorder, (PTSD) and eventually goes on a murderous rampage. These actions are not excused though because, while in a violent state, he is in complete control and is not excused for this. (At the end of his arc, he kills himself because he knows that he is too dangerous. Plus, he had seen and heard all of what he needed to.) Yes, he has a tragic backstory, (of basically surviving a nuking in his country/town that he used to live in) but it is used to give context to his PTSD and thus why he has sort of a... racist/violent additude towards the race that nuked the place. (I keep this very vague because of future reason's) Now, he technically isn't like this during most of the episodes. (Again, vague.) Normally, he's a kind, silly person that has an old timey sense of humor. (Mainly because he's a 1930's cartoon character that happens to live in a world with MANY other things.) But I feel that the quiz could use more options to show my character more.

Haha I got a 15% for my OC Azakumu, a wolf girl that was abandoned at a young age and was picked up by the local witch to be her apprentice after the witch found her in the dumpster. At kindergarten she meets her best friend Ivy. One day Azakumu accidentally got some magic in her eyes which turned both of her eyes red and to have greusome nightmares and hallucinations, which caused her to be afraid of the dark for all of her life. Around middle school she develops a crush on Ivy, and in their sophmore year of highschool, Azakumu confesses her feelings, but since Ivy is aromantic, they just decide to be together.

I'm a sucker for happi endings, ok-
