Abbey · Mary Sue Quiz (Tue Oct 24, 2006 12:00 am)

http://www.onlyfiction.net/marysue.html

This quiz demonstrates how cliche most characters are. Everyone should take this quiz and see how original their characters are. Rhi got either 21 or 23 on hers and someone from another site I go to got a 3. Lower numbers are better, as you'll see from the bottom of the page Razz

Meh, I expected a high score, considering most of my characters are cliche or based off of existing characters. Oh well.

81 for Sky.

...woah. Payne got a 4? Dang. I kind of thought he would be cliche, but I guess not.

Bah...too many questions. I'll subject Odin to it later.

OK... Netheroth...

Maximum: 31 points (this ignores the fact that most of the demon race are weak little nittwits, and takes into account that the high-level demons are an extreme minority. Therefore Netheroth is part of a highly-skilled upper class, though he's not a lord. The maximum also says that Netheroth does not feel for others (which is changing/changed due to his former bonage with a human soul) and that he's a "secret agent" for the demons, even though he's not really "secret".

Minimum: 14 (This takes into account the above-mentioned situation of the demon population, and ignores them.)

Extra-Minimum: 7 (Like Minimum, but includes only one point to include all magical abilities, such as teleportation and healing.)

Cj Shikyo-Megumi
Sure Points:
1 point: I really like the name.
3 points: wierd eyes

Uber-Min:-2
min:4
max: 5

Maybe points:
4 points: black sword is techinically a katana which is asian, and he isn't asian, but there are no asians in ffhaven.
1 point: Technically is immortal, but that falls under the subtitle of looking too young for his age, which he doesn't.
2 Points: Physcial "flaw" of gray skin, but I'm not sure if thats what they're talking about.

Maybe subtractions.
-2: signifigant personality flaw. Switch and I finally found the most accurate description of his personality to be: Autistic Physcopath.
-2: flaw stays with cj till death.
-1: no empathy for other people.
-1: CJ cannot have a happy ending, even if he completes his purpose in life, he'll continue living the same life as before until something manages to annilate him.

Other stuff: CJ's past is unknown, but he remembers every moment of his consious existance, so he doesn't have amnesia. His past is also very very very short.

54 for Raven so i guess hes kinda cliched i guess.

Switch · (Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:31 pm)

54 isn't so bad, factoring in that these are fantasy RP characters (generally)

I would love to see Yawgmoth... a bunch of things there reminded me of him...

I like CJ's way of doing it... I may show everyone the exact breakdown for Netheroth... but Darkrist first. Then Rain. And maybe I'll do Yawgmoth for Yawg.

Darkrist:

Later... have to do homework.

The most average human you can think of.

For clarity, I made up this character as I went along, choosing what or what not to give her. Her name is Mary Sue, but I hope she doesn't score high as a "Mary Sue," because that would mean a realistic person is not believable.

1 point - She has a several boyfriends (at different times), and later gets married.
1 point - Has a dog.
-3 points - Lost fairly against an equally-matched non-rival.
1 point - She's from the south, and has a southern accent.
-4 points - She smokes, and never gets over it.
-1 point - She has a kid
1 point - Shares a hobby with me.
1 point - Mary was in a school play in high school.
1 point - She kept a poetry notebook in high school.
____________________
-2 points - My thoughts: This character better be believable!

To be honest, the more normal the person is in this test, the more original they are. Its the people with lots of cool abilities who lose out.

MeowBeth · (Thu Oct 26, 2006 1:05 am)

Because people with lots of cool abilites are over done while 'normal' characters are rarely used because they are harder to get an exciting story going off of. It's that simple. lol Lesson is if you don't want to be Mary Sue-ish, make lots of boring characters with no cool abilites. lol

Mirage got 19, strange i was almost certain he was cliched.

Abbey · (Thu Oct 26, 2006 2:48 am)

The "Main" character, Meghan, from my book scored 56.

Taking again for Nefeti (I never said his real name)...
22

Wow. Just wow. He's like Neo, but willing to kill and hired to do it...and he dies an non-romantic death...*cough*Drive-by*cough* So...yeah, I didn't notice that before...I was expecting closer numbers...Maybe Prime Dictator Megan next time I have the time to do it. (Yes, there is significance between the names of the Prime Dictator and the assassin.)

Angelus · (Thu Oct 26, 2006 11:24 pm)

Heh heh.
I took the quiz, using myself as the character, and I got a 95.

Ain't life strange?

One of my main characters Melody. She came out to be a borderline Sue, 26 points. But most of the questions were only kind of and they were for plot reasons, I mean sheesh.

I'll do what angelus did and quiz myself.

Let's see...I got: 99! HOW CLICHE CAN I BE?! I ALMOST HAD 100!!!

That's just sad.

Odin was only a 30. Being based off of both a video game character as well as a Norse god, I'm surprised it was so low.
