Is Your Character a Mary Sue? | Comments

27% Mary sue huh? That's kinda disappointing, but I ain't gonna shoot the messenger. In case anyone is curious, here is a basic rundown of the MCYT OC I used for this quiz:

Name - Cherry Hoglidite.
Age - 21.
Pronouns - She/Her.
Species - Half Piglin Half human.

Personality - Witty and tough on the outside, sensitive and in need of love and acceptance on the inside.

"Powers"(I say that cuz normal humans don't have these things, they're specific to her species) - Knockback fists, sensitive hearing, the ability to speak to pigs, piglins, and hoglin beasts.

Origin - Nether.

Family - Pietron Hoglidite(Father, deceased) Unknown mother.

Allies - Technoblade, Phillza, Ranboo, Phoebe, and Nikki.

Backstory - Her human mother died during the birthing process so her piglin father had to raise her in the nether, teaching her to steel from the bastion so they could survive since he wasn't respected enough to get a job cuz he took a human wife. He took his anger out on her a lot, and she has a few scars to prove it. One day she took too much and accidently dropped a gold nugget, alerting the guards, they took her father's life because he was held responsible for her actions. She carried on a pretty much raised herself in the harsh environment. Eventually she was old enough to be recognized as a wanted criminal, she saw something she had never seen before, a portal, and she leaps into it in hopes it would help her get away from the guards and ends up in the overworld. There she starts rummaging through a cabin she finds and it turns out to belong to Technoblade. They fight for a bit but eventually agree that if she helps out around the house and mines and becomes his loyal battle partner, she can stay as long as she needs too. Eventually she joins the Syndicate and becomes close friends with Techno, she develops a crush on him but I'm leaving it up to the fans and the actual person behind the Techno character to decide whether they should be a couple or not.

My character feels like the cliche Mary Sue, so I was surprised she only got 18%.

Her name is Jaci (pronounced like Jackie). She's fourteen years old, lives with her parents, and owns two dogs, Goldie and Cocoa. (They're named after their coat colors) Her hair is a light brown and her eyes are emerald green, so she''s not that far of in the appearance department other that unusually bright eyes.

Her grandmother was a jeweler who loved to collect crystal figurines. One day when Jaci was visiting he grandmother, a brutal car accident occurred. Her grandmother sadly passed away in it. Jaci fell into a depression. She had loved her grandmother so much, and she felt like it was her fault because she was the one who suggested they drive to the ice cream parlor instead of walking. Jaci's family inherited her grandmother's collection of crystal figurines. Most of them are kept in a large wooden cabinet that is locked at all times. However, Jaci keeps one of them in her room. It's a beautiful red figurine of a cardinal. She loves this one specially because she helped pick out this one with her grandmother at the shop (I threw a little symbolism in there; cardinals are symbolic of a deceased loved one being near).

One day, a relative shows up at her house looking to take one of the figurines. She is known among Jaci's family for being a severe alcoholic who will sell anything to buy more booze. While trying to shove Jaci out of the way, she accidentally knocks over her cardinal figurine. It hts the ground and shatters. Jaci is furious. This is where she learns she has the power to turn things into crystals/precious gem.

At first, she is worried everyone will despise her for her power. She runs away and meets a strange creature in the forest, which she quickly befriends.

I'm still working out some plot holes, pacing issues, and such with my friends, but what do you think? Any ideas/suggestions for me o add? :D

Hey! I took this quiz about my OC Paisley (she's a bat) and I got 23%. Her 'tragic backstory' is getting abused/cheated on by her ex-boyfriend. Nothing too tragic. I agree, she could use a bit of spicing up. This quiz is helpful and I'll probably be taking it with a few other of my OCs.

10%
this is nice
welp

expec ted higher because she has amnesia and is severely obsessed with a main character because that character is very familiar to her.

and the character she finds familiar finds her familiar too, personality wise.

And has a tiny soft spot for her.
but is also mean.

And is somehow she's that character's apprentice.

Becaus e it's that characters fault how she got in the story the first place.

Very very very long story.

I got %20-%28, I did it bc I was curious! My character is Kounna okami, shes the daughter of inari okami the Asian goddess. Shes a kitsune and she lives in a camp with other demigods like her, the questions that I think made it so high was 1. She dont have a remarkable singing voice but its decent enough for her to sing to her kids so I was kinda stuck, 2. She didnt die and come back Alive but she was in a coma at one point but i think I answered no and 3. Is being a demigod royalty? I dont think so but idk

Vale Sayer is the character I tested out at 16% a Mary Sue, which I think is rather impressive for my Level 14 age. His story is that he was born in London, England in the 18th-19th century, and had a normal childhood, but when he was 19, he was accused of murder and was executed for a murder he didnt commit. The name Vale Sayer is an alias, and he is referred to with many other names, but he is a thief with a bounty on his head the fake names are necessary to keep himself out of prison, as he has negative connotations of prisons, jails, and the cops (which in the afterlifes are called the Badges, which is headed by seven people who control all of the afterlifes government called the Council), because of his past.

He does have one illness, which in this world is called "corruption', which essentially causes a soul's body to slowly deteriorate, which is a big part of his character, as I imagine that growing up, he worked as some construction worker/farmhand, and he is supposed to act as the muscle or semi-powerhouse of the main 6, so him having an illness that would weaken him is a good negative trait or setback in my eyes. The only real supernatural trait about him is the mark around his neck that he received as a kind of like a branding from his hanging, and his eyes, which are a kind of pale green caused by the effects of the afterlife, and his corruption combined, as his eyes before death were hazel, but going to the afterlife turned them dark green, and when he got corrupted the color sort of drained from his eyes.

He also is sort of the groups older brother figure, being one of the first members of a small ragtag group of thieves which consists of the other members of the main 6. Together they go around, stealing and scamming their way through the afterlife to put food in front of them, all while being chased around the nation by the badges. There is more to the story than just stealing, as Gods and Goddesses exist, but since Im planning on making this into

My OC is 15% marysue according to this test but this was a confusing test because he is a alien a lazy one and he excuses himself for it because his mom pushed him to his limits in education when he was little he is intelligent with education but lazy and i used this to drive the plot forward he landed on earth and got stuck there and meets other aliens no one hates him but 't got to know him no one likes him either they hadnt he tries to create communicator to tell other aliens he was stuck. he was in a trio of aliens who were nice enough to take him in and he hid with them and they got to know each other and became friend he has a slite crush on one of them whos past is unknown she can be a little obnoxious at times but she is pretty and was slowly opening up until my OC messed up and and got mad I know its bland I'm still working on giving them personality

HUH. I got a 17%.

My OC is a college student named Rhodes Bramwell (red hair, blue eyes), that was rushing to finish the most important essay of the year (she couldn't graduate without it) but ended up running out of time. With only an hour to the deadline, she's confused, delirious and slightly insane. She finds a random business carded (gifted to her by her deceased great aunt, Hettie) that says "More Time! We can all use a little more time. Call [a phone number] to receive more time!" She dials the number ("What's the worse that could happen?") and somewhat to her surprise, a professional-sounding woman answers.

Rhodes wakes up the next day, her essay turned in and her apartment a mess. She thinks: Well, that phone call must have been a delusion made up by my overworked brain.

It wasn't.

While Rhodes is out drinking to celebrate getting an A+ on the exam, she is approached by the professional-sounding woman who introduces herself as Hester Finch.

Apparently, Rhodes had signed away her freedom for the next eight decades (this time is measured by an hourglass with her name embossed on it) to the Chronos Incorporated (I have no idea what 'incorporated' means; I just didn't know what to name the damn thing), a company that controls time, in the exchange for the ability to stop time. The upside is that while working for the company, she is functionally immortal and can't age. The downsides are that she can't talk to her friends while there and she loses her chronokenises when she leaves the company.

The story follows her life as a tired bureaucrat and part-time time traveller.

Hmm well, I got 22%

My character is a guy, and yes he has a weird eye colour, a weird hair colour and just a weird style overall- but that's because he's albinos. So that also means he has an incurable disease, although I won't say it's exactly a "disease". More like a particularity.

His name is Kintsugi which literally translates into "to repair with gold" and it kinda has huge meaning behind it since it comes from how people in ancient Japan used to repair broken pots with gold or silver, making the pot more beautiful once broken. And even though I'd love to, I don't have such a cool name.

He has a weird power (a power that most people think belong with murderers and thieves) making him an outcast, most people either hate or fear him really. Aaaand he has a dark past, and even though it sounds cliche, well, I really hope it's not-

basically, the world he lives in is divided between two "species" sort of, except they're both human, and Kintsugi and two other friends were hoping to bring balance between the two species, although everyone rebelled against that bullying them, but I won't go too much in details since it's a pretty massive backstory, but basically his friend is killed by someone he thought was his friend. But Kintsugi figures it out and murders his so called friend as well as all the other people who stood by and did nothing, or who bullied them before.

This justifying everyone's claims that through his power, he's a bad person. And he just spirals further down, becoming more and more like the stereotype people see in him; until my main character comes in. And helps him out of all this.

Is it cliched ? I'm really putting as much work as I can in this story, but if my characters are flat well then there's not much I can do.

All help is grateful <3

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.

I got 31% which I believe is a little bit low for a Mary Sue, My character is named Lucas Rainbow and his a ghost hunter. My story focus on a cast of mythology monsters trying to find a way to co-exist with humans. Anyways, His goal is to find the murder who killed him called Killmore, He take an appearance of an older teenager but is actually around 50 years old. Were nothing alike appearance wise, Lucas has turquoise and Blonde hair, But, When he manifest the devil instead of him, He transformed into his evil persona called Shadow Lucas which has Red eyes and Black hair. Personality however, We got somethings in common. Lucas is a nature-lover, kind,weird, honest, loving, empathic, and brave hunter that loves to go outdoors and adventure. Me and him may not have the same hobbies but we both are kind, smart and empathetic. Lucas does get emotional and easily stress of things. He gets trigger easily if someone disrespect nature, And he make irrational decisions which lead to huge consequences. Lucas will put other characters first before himself, That usually also lead him into more traps, manipulation, and more stress in his journey. However, Lucas is able to put himself at a disadvantage and always find a way to rise against his foes. Then he has some non heroic characteristics such as a tendency of getting revenge. Lucas does have some Mary Sue qualities such as being a role model but it doesnt take him away from being human since he makes a lot of mistakes and then those mistakes into knowledge. And naturally, Everyone has a role model in their life. I hope to see my character grow in the story. Lol

19%. I guess that was good? My character is an alien animal who wants to be human. Nothing can help them because there is no magic. Though they act just like a person most other characters are human. So they don't fall in love with anyone. For the tragic past. They were taken by humans to become a pet over and over. Until, one person saved them.

I did this on my villain character Squirrel, a tall brown cat, with slightly darker stripes. I always thought of his voice/personality based off of the character Toffee from Star Vs the Forces of Evil . I am nothing like Squirrel-yet he got a 23% (which is quite a popular percentage) I am not an anthropomorphic brown cat, note do I wear pullover gray sweaters with white collars, nor am I a male, nor am I responsible for a loved ones death. Squirrel is very witty and calm, I am very dumb and chaotic.

Also this quiz used the r slur, you know, the one used to make fun of and harass people with autism. I know they dont mean any harm with it, but they really shouldnt have used it anyways.

I got a 22%. So my character, Azura, is an awkward lil baby with social anxiety and only a couple close friends (really inspired by my current life situation HUH). Backstory time :) so she had a friend named Pepper, and she acted as her protector against bullies and such. Now, as the years went on, Pepper became much more confident and Azura went in the other way, as family issues developed she felt more and more as if she couldnt say a word at home or else some kind of object would be thrown at her. As a result, she relied more and more on Pepper for emotional support, but some things happen and they get into an argument. A lot of things happen, but long story short Azura ends up killing Pepper. Yeah, not the greatest thing to do when the person you killed is your best friend who is also your only emotional support? So yeah thats all where I have the story so far? I do have another bit planned where Pepper somehow comes back to life (something to do with her being of a species with an ability that grants a second life chance or something) and then a bunch of confusion follows? I have no idea. About her appearance, shes around 14-16, Blue hair with a white streak, One eye is a lighter blue than her hair while another is pure black, like more black than the kind of natural, and shes quite small, wears baggy hoodies and other loose fitting clothing because she only really gets clothes as hand-me-downs from her older brother minus her school uniform which she saved up for herself. Honestly introducing her to strangers has really got me in some inspiration to develop her story, so maybe give me some ideas on what could happen next?

Fifteen percent huh, well then.

My character is an angel-human hybrid. Whos extremely selfish and cruel but but everyone likes her anyway because shes pretty. She dresses very slutty and has had many boyfriends previously. Shes a feminine bad girl in a sense. Her hair is reddish and is brown set up in two ponytails and bangs. As a child, she got raised by her sister because her parents died in a car crash. And her sister really didnt care about her, which is why she is the way she is. Shes about seventeen years old and lives with her best friends. Shes basically a bully but she usually harm the victim more mentally than physically

I took the quiz for my OC Acacia. She was stolen at the age of 2 and taken into a royal family (stay with me here). She has an incredible memory and remebers bits of her past through nightmares. She doesn't like to talk because she has a raspy voice. Anyway, Acacia doesn't look too out there. She has long, black hair and dark blue eyes. I'm surprised she only got 24% because I thought she would get more from the "kidnapped and taken into royalty" bit.
