 Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 5:10 am Post subject: [Quiz] Are You a Mary Sue? |
 |
|
Danikats test reminded me of this one. Admittedly it was created to help out story writers, but it's still pretty fun. So are you (your character) a Mary Sue?
I took it earlier for Fade. She is the Anti-Sue

DP is an irredeemable Sue
Funny...I thought a pocky obsessed God of Insanity with a want to overthrow the HIgh Council of Gods for past crimes while manipulating the world he created would be pretty unique too....

I got 61 points: An Uber-sue.
Which is what I was expecting since of the key features of a Mary-Sue is that they're based on you or an idealised version of you, and Danikat is both.
(Although strangely enough both her and Danielle have developed some traits that bug the hell out of me.)
But thats exactly what I wanted her to be, so I'm happy with that.
I also got marked down for the wings, purple eyes and the katana. Which will teach me not to create a character in an hour.
Some of the questions were kind of amusing. Like 'is your character part of a minority'. It'd be kind of hard to be anything but a minority in the Dojo.
Edit: Hehe, I just tried it for a real person I've written fan-fiction about and I scored 39, making them a Mary-Sue.

I've been playing around with this test.
Lowest score I've managed is -55, the highest was 555.
I'm almost tempted to see if I can actually write a character who would score 555, just because it'd be a challenge.
Then see if I could use them in a story. (Couldn't use them in an RP because they'd be the wost power-playing in history.)

My character Phase scored a 51, making him a Mary Sue..... Gah... Not cool!!!
How on Earth did Fade get to be an anti-sue...? Although, I'm guessing Phase probably has a few more things than Fade does in his character... I dunno...
A Mary-Sue... Bah humbug!!!
I'd love to see what 3kul gets for Holloweyes and Littlesister!!!!!

For those of you who don't already know what a Mary-Sue is, this is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
| Quote: |
While "Mary Sue" is a subjective term, there are nonetheless many traits commonly associated with the concept of the "Mary Sue". Characters labeled as a "Mary Sue" have what are seen as exaggerated and annoying (and sometimes impossible) levels of superiority, especially in comparison to the other characters, to real people in similar situations, or both.
Characters most commonly labeled "Mary Sues" are often characterized by their unusual and dramatic traits and experiences, their similarity to their author or their author's ideal person and especially their extreme superiority in comparison to other characters.
They often have exceptional physical and personal characteristics. They may have unusual and (typically) tragic backgrounds; in fanfiction, they often may be related by blood or strangely contrived family ties to major or significant canon characters. They may have uncommon eye or hair colors or come from a race or species which is uncommon or unknown in the story’s setting. They may have exotic names, pets, or possessions, often with great perceived mystical or magical significance. As children, they often will have experienced abuse or other hardships that seem out of place and may be unlikely in reality, and may also display little evidence in personality or behavior of having been traumatized by these ordeals. In adulthood, they are often portrayed as misunderstood or unfairly persecuted. They are often abandoned as infants or young children, from a famous or infamous family, or related somehow to the author’s favorite character.
They frequently share hobbies, likes and dislikes, and opinions with the author, and may be of the same nationality or age as the author and have similar but more dramatic physical appearances or backgrounds; other times, they may merely have hobbies or features that the author finds exotic, high-class or somehow admirable.
In fan fiction, they often cause things to happen that the author wishes would happen in canon. They may mock and humiliate characters the author dislikes. On the other hand, if a character is disliked by most canon characters but liked by the author, the "Mary Sue" realizes that they are not really bad but merely misunderstood. "Mary Sues" may bring together characters the author thinks should be romantically involved with one another or become romantically involved with characters to whom the author is attracted.
Characters perceived as "Mary Sues" may have more and better skills than other characters in the story and easily solve problems that stump other characters. Young "Mary Sues" often have skills or accomplishments that are substantially greater than those of other characters their age and of most people their age in the real world. They are usually presented as more moral than other characters and frequently sacrifice their lives or happiness for the sake of other characters. They often have moral ideas or follow norms that are common in the Western world today but unusual for the setting of the story. They are nearly always exceptionally attractive, with said attractiveness often being described in great detail and typically noticed frequently by the other characters.
Characters said to be "Mary Sues" are generally heavily praised by the author and especially other characters. If the character has flaws or limitations, they are either minor and/or endearing, or yet another hardship for the Sue to overcome (e.g. paraplegia, depression, an eating disorder, or a "passionate" temperament).
Because many traits are seen as being common to Mary Sues, many online tests have been created, known as "Mary Sue Litmus Tests". In these "Litmus Tests", matching any Mary Sue trait results in a higher score on the test, and a high enough score is said to be the mark of the "Mary Sue". Most such tests sport a disclaimer that notes that even characters who score extremely high can be executed well enough not to be considered a "Mary Sue", and that the test is primarily meant as a guide for better characterization. |

Is your character a member of The Resistance or a band of freedom fighters?
Is your character the leader or a lieutenant of The Resistance or a band of freedom fighters? |
*Points at above description, then points at the bit about 'knowingly, willingly, completely voluntarily working for 'evil'*
And Zerrer, it has nothing to do with what alignment your character is in. Mary-Sues are as capable of being evil as they are of being good or neutral
Fade got Anti-Sue because she scored 10

Apparently I am a Mary Sue. Irredeemably.
Ye gods, is this not Blackstar? Reality's laws are supposed to be suspended. Gods are supposed to rein here. Dimensions meld together. Owls talk of rhetoric and Corporations build genocidal empires.
I am like Morpheus, Endless of Dreams.
| Quote: |
| Again, keep in mind that the test isn't always correct. Morpheus from the Sandman Comics scored nearly 70 points, and yet we don't believe he's a Mary-Sue. He's well developed, suffers the consequences of several major personality flaws, and has very few powers or talents besides those necessary to perform the duties of his station. Of course, research, an interesting story, and good writing always help too. |
As it is with me. How, you ask? I may reveal it to you, given that you gain my confidences.
I will end on this note, a personal favourite quote regarding a Mary Sue slain by one Richard B. Riddick:
| Quote: |
| "Sick f***. I think that actually turned her on. World will prob'ly be a better place without her." |

Lep: 55 'Mary Sue' (NUUUUU! My most devoloped charature! Feline will probibly have the same score or even higher)
Offa: 20 'Non-Sue' (Yes! And he has developed very little since he was created.)
Since Feline is alot like Lep, I'm not going to bother to test him. Instead, for kicks, I will test Zuku from the RP 'Mountains'
Zuku: 16 'Non-Sue' (Surprising) |

Panther got a..... 32.
21-35 points: Borderline-Sue. Your character is cutting it close, and you may want to work on the details a bit, but you're well on your way to having a lovely original character. Good work.
Cool. I might do my other characters later, it is a long test, after all.
