  • 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

  • Lol I got 27%,, his name is kumono nemui wich literally translated to "sleepy cloud". He's like an angel that take care of people's dreams and his relationship with his parents isn't the best but they still love eachother very much. His hair and eyelashes are white with blue eyes and details on his hair and he mostly just wanna chill with his human friends. Well that's good i guess

  • 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-

  • Oof. My character got 14%, says she could use some spicing up. Although, to be fair, some of the questions allow for some blind spots. *shrugs* Oh well, its just for fun. I still like the quiz.

    Since everyone else is sharing too, Ill add that my character is Sinastra, a manipulative, greedy, selfish career criminal who lives in a cartoonish fantasy world. (Think the cartoon Chowder but with more magic). The world is made up of floating cities, populated by a variety of races (giants, spirits, zombies, etc) with Sinastra coming from a city mostly populated by humans and witches.

    Sinastra is basically the Grinch, if the grinch was mixed with Kikis Delivery Service, and was an unusually tall and overly skinny woman with a hatred for modern technology. Modern technology in this case being puppets and marionettes (magical objects used by connecting the string of your soul to it).

    When Sinastra steals an old marionette from a museum, she gets more than she bargained for with the curse it comes along with; binding Sinastras strings to the marionette permanently, and bringing the toy itself to life as an annoyingly happy child named Little Boy. Sinastras only hope to undo the curse (and to escape the authorities and the fellow criminals after the marionette) is to rely on a witch named Daz, a straight laced puppet enthusiast who believes in the merits of hard work, and wants to start her own business fixing marionettes. After them is a one-eyed zombie detective, a knightly mage who worships the moon, and Mr. Fritz, CEO of the worlds largest puppet conglomerate.

    Any thoughts?

    Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

    My character, who's a fan one, is called Ryuuko Yutsuya. She is my age (though i initially designed her when i was two years younger), she's 14 years of age, for those wondering. She's a Libra, strawberry blonde, kinda bulky but not exactly chubby or overweight and she's somewhat tall. She has two love interests, a girl named Momoko and a guy named Leo. She experiences feelings towards Momoko, then she discovers that Momoko shows no attraction to anyone of that caliber. She feels no attraction towards anybody until she becomes particularly close with her bestest and first ever friend, Leo. In the group, she has a rivalry with Hajime but they learn to work through it eventually. She previously lived in the country district of Karaga City before moving to Amanogawa Town. She used to have a older sibling named Haruhi, but they committed suicide a few years prior to the beginning of the story. (This is important to the story, as she becomes the villain and Ryu becomes the target of her doing).

    Her father had given her a book on her 13th birthday, whom he'd found on his farm during a festival being held there, but was too scared to open it, instead giving it to his daughter (he is aware about Kayako; a canon character and what was in the book).

    Before she was gifted the journal, she had met Leo, another canon character that moved away from the main town the story's set in, and they had become close due to their shared bond of the supernatural.

    Likes: Writing, Supernatural, Green Tea

    Dislikes: Marzipan, Hajime (another canon character), crowds

    Not sure if she sounds like a Mary Sue but I REALLY don't want her to be! By the way, she is not a protagonist of any kind, but rather a main supporting character.

    • Sounds interesting. Im not familiar with the source material, but it sounds like Ryuuko has a strong connection to the canon characters without overshadowing them or being TOO connected. As in, she has a story of her own, but her presence doesnt eclipse canon.

      Its difficult to say more without knowing the context, but as long as Ryuuko is IMPORTANT to the plot and the progression of the characters, then she should be more than fine.

      Good luck!

    Ako, my character, is a bratty noble (9th in line for the throne) who, upon realizing how disliked she is, decides that she would like to be a hero. She goes to a tavern, talks to an old dude, and after getting him drunk convinces him to take her on as an apprentice quest-master.

    She has two primary love interests, her former fiance and one of the adventurers in her party. She does sleep around a bit, and flirt a lot, but I think that's just part of her nature. Ako was there, the only one awake, when the old quest master died. She and he and become friends, and often acted like siblings. She has a strong dislike of messy things, and keeps her disgust of peasants who she sees as "worthless" very thinly veiled. Ako definitely has made friends with a fair few people in the story, but I'm trying to hint that at least a few of them are there for her money or a friends with benefits sorta thing. Plus she makes most of her friends for similar reasons.

    I think the reason I was worried she'd seem like one is because she is never, ever awkward. Otherwise she really doesn't give off the vibe, right? She's cocky and doesn't seem phased by much, so that could definitely be it.

    (Any feedback?)

    • Honestly, I dont think you need to worry about making your character more awkward, especially if Ako is an independent, overconfident gal with enough problems already. Awkward edd is only a good trait if you think it would bring something more to the story, but so far it sounds like Ako is a very proactive character who wouldnt fit that trait anyway. Shes bossy, entitled, and grew up getting etiquette and social skills drilled into her head; there shouldnt be much room for awkwardness in how she approaches others.

      If by awkwardness you mean occasions where Ako makes a misstep or blunders her way into trouble, then you only need to use her existing faults to show that happening. Just from her actions it doesnt like Ako is lazy or complacent. She sees a problem, she fixes it. Maybe while shes learning the ropes Ako gets a little TOO ambitious, perhaps by taking on a foe or a job thats more than she can handle. Maybe she has to be saved by someone, or she gets another person hurt, and that motivates Ako to reevaluate and try harder. Is that helpful?

      2nd point of advice: you mention Ako sleeping around. Now, theres nothing wrong with that in a character, but I have to ask WHY is she sleeping around? Is it important to the story? Is the story focused more on Akos relationships or on Akos character development as a hero? Asking sincerely, does that fit her background and the rest of her personality? Only you can decide.

      I just want to point out, as a grown woman myself, that sexual content or -adult themes- do not necessarily make a story more -mature-. Similarly, I find that women who give themselves away too freely tend to have certain underlying problems with their own self worth, or their ability to connect with others. Does Ako have those issues? And if she comes from nobility, where prudishness and purity might be expected, then where does Ako get her notions of promiscuity? Just some questions to consider.

      All in all though, Ako sounds promising!

  • 23% - not to bad for a character (& story) who was made up on the spot that was very much inspired by a song (It's My Bad - Nico Collins on SoundCloud go check it out, its amazing) so it isnt really original material but I feel like Im going to have fun with this character/story!

    He doesnt have a name yet - but he is a teenager and goes by he/him pronouns and is panromantic/pansexual (demiromantic). In the story, he gets cheated on by his girlfriend with his best friend for the millionth time. To put it shortly, he has a mental breakdown, and in said mental breakdown, he murders them both.

    For the majority of the story, he is on the run from the police but not before he drags two of his closest friends (names not decided) for the ride. Not sure to end off the story, kind of just a spur of a idea.

  • 27% wow, Raizei is my oc who died at the age of 14 and cause of his death was he was pushed off a building by his dad's homophobic gf because his sexuality is gay- and he's 21 yrs old now and ofc he's an angel. His hair is red and white in the bottom, yes he's a Countryhumans oc, his eyes are light grey, he's a positive boi. He has astraphobia and he has a lil sister who mostly visits him and his mom's grave most of the time and my other ocs are like siblings to him.

    I have a total of 10 or 11 ocs and they're all like children to me.

  • My character was male so I don't know if that affected the score at all but I did get 14% I think I would have gotten lower if I didn't say he had a tragic incurable disease. I only said that because he has sickle cell disease, which can make you go blind or lose your vision in severe cases, which is why I needed him to have it because he starts losing vision around the age of 15 and I didn't want it to be for a random reason. His name is souls and he's from a universe I made up with a whole giant story-line. Basically, everybody has their own unique ability called a Soul Fire and some people have more powerful soul fires, these people are called destines or, destiny's, souls is a destiny and that's there are prophecies about him (And every other destiny) and that doesn't mean he's royalty either because he gets forced into purgatory for accidentally killing of half of the Kalidathian army, (Tee side in a war fighting for magic rights) and now he's forced to live on an asteroid in space big enough to have an atmosphere. Later on in the story, he does get infected by a darkness parasite, a thing that comes from the darkness, a powerful force slowly eating off the universe. (Basically, every villain in the story is a result of darkness) and so now he is slowly losing control of his own body as the darkness begins to take over his mind. When he does go fully mad, he ends up starting a "Revolution" that kills off 20% of the population of the known universe. After a while, he does end up getting killed by a huge chunk of ice smashing him so. kArMa HaHa. Souls was a very optimistic person before he was infected after he was very cruel and even attempted killing his apprentices caretaker. And basically after his death, the universe starts to go downhill, one by one each destiny dies off leaving one left who gets frozen by darkness and flung to a nearby planet, long story short the darkness wins and destroys that universe, creating the one we're in today!

  • %24 percent a Mary Sue! Her name is Melanie and she is a teal alien. The whole story is about monsters but the quiz doesn't really know that- So if she was a normal human the percentage would probably be a little lower. Melanie was bullied as a child because she used to go to an all human school, as it was the only school in her area. Her father was able to get a new job as a reason to move so she could go to a place with people like her, a school of monsters! She meets other people and falls in lOvE with a white alien. Aka a legendary colored alien. As they have a whole ranking system depending on their color. She also meets a team of monsters who are basically trying to destroy the whole human race. Now i'll stop explaining before this gets too long :'D

  • I got 26% Mary Sue. Her name is Lucky. At around 7, she is taken from her mother by an off- grid government program, where they intend to use her powers for experiments. She meets her friend there (kori), who has somewhat similar abilities. However, Kori is deemed too powerful, and taken for execution. Lucky is able to save her, and they both escape. 2 years later, They're both captured, again. This time, Lucky is taken for an attempt to weaken her powers. This causes her to lose skin pigmentation. Unfortunately, Kori is killed saving her. :( Lucky escapes, and undergoes procedures in an attempt to look like herself again. One goes wrong, causing her to lose one of her eyes. She gets it fixed, but now she looks absolutely unrecognizable. The bad guys are still trying to track her down, so she teams up with someone else to escape, and that's about all I have right now.

  • yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15% lets gooooooooo

    my oc is named Hawthorne! i often refer to him as Gemini subconsciously because he's kinda like... two... people?

    he's a happy-go-lucky, sarcastic, robot-obsessed anthropomorphic bobcat in an anthro feline/vulpine/canine world!! he lives in a dirty lower-class suburban neighborhood near a lake with his mums. He used to have a sister? but something convoluted happened on a frozen lake, causing her to "die," and Hawthorne still really hasn't recovered since. (his sister had blonde hair, so he bleaches his hair, but it looks more grey than blonde)

    after a while of homeschooling, his mumsies encourage him to go back to school! he reluctantly agrees, but decides to get lost in the nearby forest instead because he's quirky like that

    after a while of wandering through the woods, he finds a disassembled android girl (whos totally not miku whos miku hdgjfgekj) lying on the forest floor. he pops off and decides to 'fix' her!! after a while of tinkering with her, she regains consciousness and immediately tries to run away from him. but, she do be a robot doe, so she's not very fast, so hawthorne the scrawny ass b---- can catch up to her!

    b----ass android girl (aka minako) tries to explain as well as she could that (she's a ______ for some _________) but she has that weird ass robot voice so hawthornes like "brug" and reboots her!!! she forgets everything about being a ______ but the company is still using her eyes for analysis! some more characters appear along the story, like (delica, mysterious little ghost girl) and (sterling, sports and science enthusiast). i have a whole story and pilot in the works,, so i don't wanna spoil the entire story until i finish my animation courses. but its so cool that i get to share some crap!!!

  • Well I got a 32%.
    I don't find this bad at all.

    Her name is Zoe, she is a 15 year old female. She is a OC of the roblox game Isle. She was taken from her loving family by the government, and put on the island. There her fake friends found guns, and shot her. The demon of this island (this is cannon in the game, but the name is not) Caleb proceeded to use her as a vessel. Zoe managed to make him change for the better, but half of her face turned pitch black like him, and her eye on that side of her face turned red. She is a PLAYER of the game, but the player has logged off permanently because she got bored of the game. So Zoe has access to the game files.

    Me and my best friend like to do crossovers of the game Kindergarten 1/2 and Isle.

    I KNOW MY OC COULD BE WAY BETTER BUT ATLEAST ITS NOT LIKE MY FIRST EVERY OC SKI WHO CAN DESTORY THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. God my first oc when I was 6 was truly a mary sue. I might reply to this with ski's backstory idk.

    • So I decided I'm gonna do Ski's backstory.

      Ski is an undertale oc, not surprising... past me loved undertale (and I still do) anyway, lets do this.

      Ski had a younger sister (I HAVE NOT USED THIS OC IN SO LONG I HAVE FORGOTTEN HER SISTERS NAME OML) and she fell into the mnt.Ebbot hole infront of Ski. Ski went insane murdered her whole AU yatta yatta. Now she travels to other AU's and makes friends with the skeletons.

  • I got a 21%, which isn't bad, especially since the character I did this with is a fan character. Her name is Jorii Aoki, and she's a Jojo oc who is Jotaro's cousin. Not gonna write her whole story out, but basically one of Dio's assassins kills her parents and kidnaps her sister, so she goes with the crusaders to Egypt. Her Stand's name is Material Girl and it's basically just tactical glitter. Its ability is to make anything it covers as hard as diamond, and we all know that diamond is unbreakable. *gets ran over by a bus for making that awful joke*

  • I got 23%, I mean my OC is kind of a mary sue, I mean, she got injured at the end of my story, but she is really smart and she is really pretty- i wish i looked like her :

  • 23%, huh? Might as well make a short description of my OC Ninetails. She's a Ninetales from Pokmon, but I changed her name to avoid confusion with other Pokmon of her species. We're talking about a Kanto Ninetales, btw. She has fire powers only. As a Vulpix, she was caught and treated well by her trainer. But he soon became abusive and started feeding her less and less, making her starve, as well as forcing her to evolve and to learn the moveset she has now: Flamethrower, Quick Attack, Confuse Ray and Mystical Fire. After many attempts of trying to survive, Nine was abandoned by her trainer. Slowly learning to live on her own and the bruises she had healing.

    But despite all of this, she'll never stop having faith in humanity and Pokmon and will do anything to protect her loved ones!

  • I got a 16

    I feel like I wasnt able to specify because he actually was kind of noticed immediately because he began as an antagonist and just attacked them, so the other characters noticed his attacks but didn't know who the hell he was. And uh, he's actually a human that killed himself and went to hell, so in human years he's 17, but in demon years he's 21.

  • I'm disappointed... I went out of my way to make the Mary Sue to end all Mary Sues as a joke and it only gave me 94%... Should have been 100%, guess I'll have to find the cutting it down by 6% factor...

  • Yeet. Kaydia Winterwood, she lives in mid-evil times and was an orphan since the start after her mother overdosed and her father was just some rando. She has terrible memory like, sure she's not Dory, but it's still pretty bad. She was one of a few orphans from the orphanage that survived after the 'Dragon Flayers', eight warriors said to defend the 'Last Ones' against dragons. She's 18 percent sue, and I have no idea why... sure she's not incredibly pretty, and she's asexual, but love is hardly important. My opinion anyway.

  • Hi! I got a 13% for my OC, Visby! My problem with this quiz is that none of it applies to Visby. Because they use they/them pronouns. I know it seems like a silly complaint, but for future reference, maybe instead of saying he or she constantly, try out they/them!

  • I got 42%

    Honestly, its understandable and I accept the fact that its a high percentage. My character is 15 and come from the year 3046 that time travels to the attack on Titan time line to change it. I would but also wouldnt say she has ptsd, because shes gotten so used to the experiments and murderes.

    When it comes to relationships, no one fails for her and she doesnt fall for anyone, which I enjoy because thats what attack on Titan is somewhat about, there isnt time for relationships.

    Levi being a popular character, I did make it so she saves Levi and Kuchel, but she looks at them like family and nothing more, she becomes close to young Erwin, but Erwin never falls for her and shes just using him to become his right hand man when Erwin becomes a commander.

    The only relationship shell ever create with the characters are becoming their friends but also being that thorn in the ass for the trio main characters.

    Shes quite strong and she has around a bit more strength than the ackermans, but she still gets injured.

    I took this test because I honestly thought I made my character too much of a Mary Sue, and I accept and agree with the percentage, I take criticism and if you have any for me Id enjoy to take it in and change my character to make her less of a Mary Sue.

  • I got 7%.

    Some info about the character: His name is Linaere, one of the 2,000 people housed on a space station called Station Ianno. (Not a fan character, original universe although heavily based off of The 100). He has a very lightly brown skin tone, greasy black hair, and is about 6'2. He is 21 years old, and was a guard trainee on the station. However, his commander decided to send him down to earth with the other 1,000 (There are 5 stations, 200 was sent down from each.). He tried to protest, but on the day of the Ground Calling, he was sent with them anyways. He and Freya (another guard trainee sent down) used their skills in survival and fighting methods to promote the survival of the 1,000. Eventually, he almost died from a rough winter illness that they called Yellowthroat, due to the yellow-ish mucus that they would cough up. It was, in fact, an uncontrolled case of the influenza.
