I'm curious as to what most Althanians score here.

I got a 14 for Jame.

I got a 35 - Borderline-Sue.

Fucking high school and attractiveness ganged up on me.

Err: On Lucien by the way.

I somehow scored a 44 with Ira even though she's my most developed and original character. o.O Mahbe I did this wrong...

37



All I can think of is that one like from Clerks...

Serilliant
02-17-08, 10:44 PM
14 for Serilliant. Yay for a normal, every day, human with no exceptional abilities or features.

And I love this question: "do you draw the character, or ask other people to draw her/him for you?" You all lose!

Saxon
02-17-08, 10:45 PM
158.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Don't blame it though, I designed Saxon to be the center stage for most plots I make in stories. Guess thats what I get for making him a medium for mythology. Hahahaha. :rolleyes:

Molotov got a 47. I'm imagining his reaction to being called "Mary Sue."

Rayse Valentino

Zero.

Karuka
02-17-08, 10:52 PM
I got a 73 for Karu (wtf?), a 37 for Alydia, and a 17 for Syn.

UPDATE: Siren got a 28, Anila got an 11, and Seraphima got a 14. Finally, The Archer got a 15.

Jineh got 56. though reading the supplement to figure out what a mary sure meant is kinda disheartening.

Skie and Avery

-Skie dan Sabriel
77

-Avery Nito
47

Tshael
39

-Kor (None So Blind)
0 Kor would be happy to know that.

Chromanon Rockskin
9

Amanda (Snootchybootchykins)
38 Considering it's me, I had been expecting higher, but I've got a significant belleh. TT_TT


Just did my major characters, for kids and giggles. Now, see, I had expected Avery to be more of a Mary Sue than Skie. =P Oh well.

I love these things. I hate seeing Mary Sues in books with a passion - on here, it's alright. :) Most of the characters with Mary Sue scores, I don't even really consider Mary Sues.

Sanoë Teriades - 14.
I'm especially happy that she was classified as a Non-Sue. That's better than I hoped to achieve.

Hana Sinji - 25.
Borderline Sue. I can live with that. May have to work on some things, though.

Rabhya Devangi - 27.
I'm really surprised this didn't score higher, honestly.

Evelyn Waters - 30.
Woohoo! I feel vaguely accomplished with these scores. :D Interestingly, though, my characters seem to be getting more and more cliche as I go along, according to the scores.

Karla
02-18-08, 02:31 AM
Karla got a 43, now I am ready to rip Edward apart. BRB.

Edward got a 77. Next up: Camella

Camella got a 64. Time to go for Shell.

Shell is a 33 time to rip Dallas Texas a new one. If anyone gets over 100, he is likely the one.

Um... I majorly disagree with the test here. Dallas texas got a 60. I was expecting a 150, at the very least. Moving right along. Krista...

Apparently Krista is a 28... ok. Jack Lancer is next...


Jack Lancer got a 6...

Time for some real fun. I'm not fooling around with my characters anymore. Next up, Shadow the Hedgehog, then Sonic, then Mario.

Shadow: 61
Sonic: 94
Mario: 67

02-18-08, 02:32 AM
48 for Luc :(

Melancor: 126...

If you excuse me i'll go kill myself in the most romatic way posible... wait...is that being to much of a Gary Sue? Darn it!

Holy hell! Attica scored a 60....

nay... Im going to retake this >_>'

Godhand
02-18-08, 07:41 AM
Zero.

Bullshit, and fuck you for even suggesting that's true.

Edit: I tried to take the test but around question number twenty five I looked at the sidebar and realized how long it was. I'm sure my score is something like five hundred though.

Thirty seven... It's that damn religion that killed me.

AdventWings
02-18-08, 09:15 AM
Why is my name on that list...? :(

...Hmm, I guess it's because Asuka is the only non-male holding an official position in Akashima that made her a Mary Sue.

*Shrugs*

Sue or not, I still like her. :p

EDIT: According to that test, I'm a Mary Sue. Even more than Asuka. O_o;

Is this thing really reliable?

Saxon
02-18-08, 10:04 AM
I'm starting to see the pattern that people that use things like mythology and folktales and put them into their characters tend to have higher scores. Sort've like pointing a geiger counter at somebody who just walked out of the Chernobyl hot zone. Guess it could be an explanation??? :rolleyes:

Caden Law
02-18-08, 10:27 AM
6 for Caden.

9 for Aeraul.

Didn't take it for Rowan, but he'd probably be up in the 20's or so at a guess.

Demon Song
02-18-08, 10:58 AM
28 for Uukan. Probably because I based him on Samurai and gave him a Japanese-like last name based on a FFX character.

Godhand
02-18-08, 11:20 AM
It makes me so angry that you don't have anything under your avatar.

So angry.

02-18-08, 11:24 AM
I blame laziness of no character profile. Work is taking its toll on me.

Uukan Kimari
02-18-08, 11:29 AM
Better? :P I am a 28, woot.

eh? My avatar vanished. BOO. I'd have to get my pc to fix it.

Now it is back? The styles restrict avatar sizes apparently.

HikariAngel
02-18-08, 12:01 PM
Viola got a -2. Yes, that's a negative.

Adelia got a 18. I'm a bit surprised there.

Monica is a 9. If I wasn't such a sucker for catgirls, she would have gotten a 5, but since I would easily fall for her if she was real, that's an extra four points.

Jobe
02-18-08, 12:28 PM
How is it even possible to get single digit scores with this test?! :confused:

Melancor
02-18-08, 02:48 PM
If you only select like two things....

Maybe it's the mylotogical decent... Ofcourse a demi-god fits in many categories, ofcourse he is a Gary Sue, all gods are...right?

Sorahn
02-18-08, 03:18 PM

02-18-08, 03:27 PM
Eltarri's a 71. Wow. I should get her arms cut off or something . . .

Twyla got a 22! And she's based off a mythological creature. That test is whack. How reliable can it be when you get points off for being female?

Edward Judorne
02-18-08, 03:40 PM
Tough to say. honestly, though, with Shell not being my most non mary-sue character, how can honestly say the test is whack

How is it even possible to get single digit scores with this test?! :confused:

It's possible to get single-digits (or even negatives in my case) by making unorthodox characters with disabilities who are generally evil. Case in point: Viola is an evil b**** who is blind and doesn't have many overused traits. I probably would have been farther in the negatives if she didn't have gold eyes or purple hair.

Liquid Ice
02-18-08, 05:17 PM
I got an 8 on Liquid. o.o

and I think I got those 8 points just because I almost always name or nickname my characters actual words.

I got an Idea. let me see what happens when I do it for your character.

Now, from my point of view, Melancor got a 41. of course, you likely know more about him than I do, but the point is there is hope for him yet, mainly because what counts is how outsiders view your character

Melancor
02-18-08, 07:28 PM
Ah, you have a point there... This still makes me reconsider on re-doing some aspects of Melancor.... Hmmmm.....

Ah well.

Jobe
02-18-08, 07:32 PM
I have no idea why you folks are taking this test like its the end of the world. I just learned what a Mary Sue was yesterday, and I see no reason why this should kill whatever momentum you've had. Its just a term and it bears little meaning on your character. You determine your character's worth, not some silly test.

Molotov
02-18-08, 07:40 PM
I think to an extent, this test is meant for more modern style characters, and not for a world like Althanas where things like being traveled and taking many jobs are necessities of being able to RP with others. As such, I do think the results should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if you do think, as a result, your character is a bit too cliche addled, its something to think about.

Valentina L. Snow
02-18-08, 10:54 PM
I almost expected to have Valentina be called a Mary-Sue, but answering honestly I only got a 16. Good for me.

I had already noticed that there are a lot of characters who have silver/gray or white hair with silver and or some kind of amazing shade of blue eyes. there are really no original ideas in this world. Only modified templates.

I really don't see how your relationship with your character influences your score...

Liquid Ice
02-19-08, 08:06 PM
I actually saw an argument about this on another forum not too long ago. "Mary Sue" not longer strictly means a self insertion. It seems to have shifted to mean absurdly beautiful and powerful characters that everyone in the story loves and could defeat god himself and seduce the angels while doing it.

It reminds me of a comic book artist friend of mine who, when describing some new character idea to me, generally starts it with "Well, he could beat Superman to death with one hand tied behind his back"

See, I always took Mary Sue to be describing what Liquid Ice says rather than a self-insertion. As in, someone being so beautiful/good at something/etc. that it doesn't make sense within the context of the story. Wikipedia, god of the internet, backs me up on this. That it could be self-insertion is new to me. (Edit: Oops. When I read the whole article, it actually does mention self-insertion. Imagine that!)

It's interesting that you bring up comics, though, because I've always complained that people on Althanas want their characters to be superheroes rather than people. But now that I think about it, I think it's more that people want to be a superhero and his/her secret identity at once. I mean, we want our characters to contend with and understand day-to-day emotional drama, but we also want to be able to burn people with our minds and cut people in half with a big fucking sword. What we end up with is really a mess that doesn't make much sense.

Liquid Ice
02-19-08, 08:26 PM
Best explanation I've found:


http://www.subreality.com/marysue/explain.htm

So you're scratching your head and wondering who the heck Mary Sue IS, hm? Well, "Mary Sue" is an unkind term used to describe a certain kind of character, a style of writing. She (or he) is created to serve one purpose: wish fulfilment. When a writer invents someone through whom he/she can have fantastic adventures and meet famous people (fictional or real), this character is a Mary Sue. (We don't have a name for the male version -- suggestions?)

Although storytellers have been rehashing Mary Sue since the dawn of time, she did not receive her current name until the early 1970s. The original was Lieutenant Mary Sue ("the youngest Lieutenant in the fleet -- only fifteen and a half years old") as immortalized in Paula Smith's "A Trekkie's Tale," which she wrote and published in her 1974 fanzine Menagerie #2. (According to Katherine Langley: "Paula is still active in fandom and, to be sure, suitably bemused that Mary Sue lives on.")

Mary Sue, as this archetype became known, was at first any brilliant, beautiful young Starfleet officer who joined the Enterprise crew to be the center of attention, set everything right, make off with the main male canon character's heart (or several of them!), and/or die dramatically in someone's arms. I'm sure you can make a similar analogy within your own fannish experiences.

I'm sure you can think of more. And of course there are non-fanfic Mary Sues, characters who only exist in their creators' minds, on well-worn RPG character sheets or in secret notebooks. Thre are even actual canon Mary Sues, though that gets hard to judge because they are canon. Good examples include Jean M. Auel's Ayla, Michael Moorcock's Elric, Anne McCaffery's Menolly, and Anne Rice's, well, anyone...

To set the record straight:

Mary Sue is any original or deeply altered character who represents a slice of his/her creator's own ego; s/he is treasured by his/her creator but only rarely by anyone else. More negatively, a Mary Sue is a primadonna (usually but not always badly-written) who saps life and realism out of every other character around, taking over the plot and bending canon to serve his/her selfish purposes.

However, to be fair, even the most trite Mary Sue serves a psychological purpose for his or her creator...and sometimes, believe it or not, the best can wind up being lauded as legitimate characters and gathering fans beyond their original scope.

It only doesn't make sense if you refuse to suspend belief!

But really, that's been going on for forever. I mean, look at Gilgamesh and Enkidu. We want our characters to be these extraordinary people with these extraordinary powers...but we need them to be people nonetheless so that we can still relate to them. If they weren't people at the core, they wouldn't be able to grow. We want them to grow as people, good or bad, and we want them to grow in power so they can be badass. It makes the story progressively more exciting as the character gets progressively more complicated, and I think it's the character growing that really makes things hard, if the writer isn't paying attention.

Easy Evie
02-19-08, 08:33 PM
In answer to the question in Liquid Ice's explanation - a male Mary Sue is a Marty Stu or Gary Stu.

Ah, fanfiction. How educational it can be. It's a plethora of Mary Sues. :(

I'd say the difference between Gilgamesh--and comic book superheroes for that matter--and Althanas is that while they were guys with superpowers operating in a normal world, Althanas is a world of people with superpowers (yeah, I'm ignoring common NPCs, but they deserve to be ignored.) Really, our problem is that we're all a bunch of nerds hellbent on control and badass geekery competing with one another rather than one nerd writing one story where his Mary Sue can shine above everyone else. We're like the Matrix, only with one group of Morpheus acolytes that can fly, one that can breathe fire, one that can turn people into sheep, etc., and we all want to be the One.

Ultimately, I like Althanas and I promise I'm not really whining. I love our site for a lot of the above qualities even as I complain about them.

Haha, I remember those days. I had that avatar from The Crow. Oh man.

Also, wasn't that guy's account name My Parents Are Insane or something close?

And wasn't Godhand Dogbert?


I'm putting that on my tombstone. ;)

I really couldn't imagine a finer end to life.

Godhand
02-19-08, 11:08 PM
Don't get screwy with me. I said it was I hate my Parents but then you said it was actually a parody of the rampant teenage angst on the internet, and then...

Shit, wasn't this like five years ago?

And yes I had a Dogbert avatar.

Ashiakin
02-19-08, 11:18 PM
Haha, I did not bring this up first! But yeah, when I first started on Althanas I thought it'd be funny to make fun of other people's account names (because so many of them were like "dark whatever," "chaotic whatever.")

Basically, being 13 leads to cliches and an overinflated sense of importance. You also make bad characters. But I've done okay considering what I started with, really.

Going through the test question by question now to figure out what each answer scores. Any Doozies will be posted here.
-------
Naming a character after yourself... 20 points

Just got through appearance.

over 20 years and appears older than they are: -3

Fat: -3

If you have a clone: 7 points

Multiple clones where you are not the original or above average prowess: -6...
Well, actually 1 point since youd have to check the question about having a clone too.

(taking a break.)

Storm Veritas
02-20-08, 08:57 PM
Storm was only an 18... I thought he'd be like mid 50's, since when i started writing discretion was not exactly a strength.

Rabyr scores a 5.

Which is strange. I would have expected a statement about being inhabited by a foreign force and through that, being granted powers beyond human capability, would be somewhere amongst the big no-noes for originality, but there wasn't one, as far as I could tell.

Letho
02-22-08, 02:12 PM
Letho scored a whooping 71, just making him the Irredeemable-Sue. Which isn't such a big surprise since when he started off back when, he was pretty much a walking pile of cliches.

I didn't do any other characters. It takes too long.

Honestly, guys, don't take this too seriously. For instance, I had to check "Your character is an elf." That probably gave me some points. But you know what? Anyone who knows me knows that I have spent a TON of time trying to assess what elves are, how they work, what differentiates them from other races, and how they have flaws and can be just as horrible as anything else. So take this all with a grain of salt.

That said, also take it as a warning. I think probably everyone whose character is a legit Mary Sue feels like "OMG how can this be" when they see their results come back in like the 200s or something. And they mealy-mouth and figure out ways to whine away that their character sucks on ice, like saying "but I've given lots of thought to the elves!" And to them, I'd say deal with it and get over it and start making a character that isn't stupid as hell.

So yeah. Only you can really justify it to yourself, but it's at least something to think about.

So yeah. Only you can really justify it to yourself, but it's at least something to think about.

you have a really good point. The test is just an a piece of code and can't really tell you what your character is and even on the comments they point out characters that score high on the test but the makers of the test think are great characters. And you're right that scoring high might warrant a little fact checking on your character to see if s/he is really contrived.

Look at things like:
Does your character mess up?
Is his/her body perfect?
Does the character have a perfect relationship?
Does romance come too easy?
Does the Character have flaws?

Now if you think your character is a Mary Sue it's not a big deal if you have fun with the character. Althanas is for fun and having a character simply to live out your fantasies is great for this place. And you don't have to start a brand new character even if your character is a Mary Sue, it only takes a little tweaking to fix that. Have the character mess up, have a relationship to turn sour, have the character undergo something that will make him/her not look perfect.

Anyways if You have fun with your character you don't need to let the test mess you up.

On a note I retook the test while not dead tired and got a 22 for Jineh, and that's including her love interest with the charming rogue^^

Having those things doesn't necessarily make your character a Mary Sue. Perhaps having all of them makes you one, but for instance, Siren is played as smoking hot, but I don't consider her a Mary Sue, because its an integral part of the character's identity. For me, its more important if the Mary Sue-esque aspects of a character are there more because the writer just wanted to load up their character with stuff thats cool, or because the writer had a story that dealt with nobles or super teleporters. For instance, I don't consider a character like Peter Petrelli from Heroes a Mary Sue, despite the fact he has an insane number of abilities and women seem to find him attractive. It's because his abilities have important storyline implications, or in some cases, he couldn't help but get abilities because the story dictates it.

bleh I didn't mean it that way. the only one that would be a sure fire Mary Sue is the character is flawless. other's aren't too big of a deal.

Ahaha. Hashi scores a whopping 111, making her an "Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep writing, but no. Just no."

Just because she's good at getting into people pants whether they think they like girls or not, never learns from her mistakes, was the last practitioner of the magic art of Marquing, has unusual eyes, hair, distinctive mark that doesnt take away from her beauty, angsts when she isnt in someone's pants... and well. You get the idea.

I figured she'd break the scale, with as sexual and irreverent about everything as she is. But it just makes me laugh.

Tsukiko got a 25 borderline Sue^^ I was worried it would score higher.

I wonder if Hashi would hit on a person with both sexes. :P

Suddenly I'm tempted to bring Ray / Livia here. I'm pretty sure Hashi knows what I'm talking about. As soon as I figure out why the curse was placed on Livia, I may just do that.

lol, that would certainly be interesting.

Just did one of my non-online characters: 48

Oh, and when I got to the question on skills that don't have to do with his/her job I checked it thinking "He's really good at pissing others off, albeit accidentally."

That was Ray I was testing. I plan on testing Livia tonight.

17 for Yin. Amazing I thought she would be a mary-sue. Guess not.

85.

Holy shit. Maybe I'll tweak this character when she levels up. Fix her up to make her... not Mary sue-ish.

04-16-08, 08:11 PM
Alcyone got a 27, which is borderline. XD It's all the magic that she uses, and her funky eye color that jacked the score up.

Bevel got 18, which is way higher than I expected. Curse you, engineering skill!

Negative 7. I suppose there are benefits to lacking a thumb.

Drizaghar scored an 18.

And Vana'diel scored 19.

Kially Gaith
04-27-08, 07:04 PM
17. Kially took alot of development. I looked arround at other plays before I developed him. I think I lost the most points on the basis of most things occurring to adults.

ok i demand a recount, there is no way my character can even be applied to this test!

i mean, my character does not even have a BODY!

Visla Eraclaire
05-09-08, 02:52 PM
I received a one as well. Being markedly unspectacular, partly crippled in a non-whiny fashion, and undramatic works wonders.

Reimund got a 19. Pretty Good.

Zetsubou
05-20-08, 11:25 AM
Zetsubou, even though she is a little freak, got 13.

- The Non-Sue. She is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue.

WHEY! ;D

Mainly because of his magic and his posh background.

Your Mary Sue Score: 63

56-70 points: Über-Sue. You've got one hell of a Mary-Sue on your hands here, and it's not going to be easy to set things right. But do your best. There may be hope for you yet.

Ehh Idk if thats me but idk

Then again, Aya isn't very believable is she XD

Miehm
02-05-09, 07:02 AM
Miehm got a freaking 71.... The fact that I based the character heavily on myself makes that very unsettling, suggesting that I may in fact be a Mary Sue in reality.

The Mathemagician
02-12-09, 09:40 AM
10

The Anti-sue. Woo!


Miehm got a freaking 71.... The fact that I based the character heavily on myself makes that very unsettling, suggesting that I may in fact be a Mary Sue in reality.

No, but a lot of the questions were about if you based the character off yourself, so that probably lead to your score...Whoever made it I guess really doesn't like people basing characters off themselves. *shrug* Personally I'm not so sure that is a Mary Sue sign but whatever...

Is Whit that unbelievable??

Corvus MacCallum
02-20-09, 08:39 PM
Got a 19, not bad.

Whit its because of the broad questions and how likely any kind of downtrodden upbringing results in Mary Sue Angst points, no matter the realism or justification, its just one of those dumb little things.

Epsilon received a 32. Not as bad as I was afraid of, though. Us Psionic-types have it pretty bad in those things. Thankfully, he's not me.

Lathienas Miraq
03-26-09, 07:07 PM
Lathienas got 24 which is amazing as he is my first charachter and (I think) fairly generic

Othar (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=18797) (my other account) got -6. Seriously. No really he actually did. I think it was the murder/rape thing that did it...

Most come from significant back story I created around the story of these lands :p

Silas is a borderline uncreative character :(

Your Mary Sue Score: 28

Well, that is not thad bad, is it? I actually quite like the test, it inspired me to have my character commit some form of villian type of action, get caught and locked up in jail for some time. You know what? That will be my goal for my upcoming quest :cool:.

I guess that it is not all that original to use an original idea from an originality test, but meh, don't care.

Retaking the test. I do whenever anyone bumps this thread.

And since his inception, Caden has gone from 6 all the way to 21. Borderline. :D

Kerrigan Muldoon
08-04-09, 05:40 PM
I retook the test as well and dang, I got a -3 :). It must be because of the crimes she has commited in the mean while. She murdered, started to seriously hate people and whatnot.

Darn, I really thought my golem would be more original, but meh, I like both of my chars.
