I found this today on another site and decided to pass it on. Basically, you answer the questions, and it determines how much you made them close to or distance yourself from them. A healthy character is determined by giving them some of your qualities, but distancing yourself from them enough that they have room to develop on their own! Try it out and tell us what you think!

We've already got a thread devoted to this, but darned if I know where it is.

If the old thread has been lost, then I don't see why a new topic can be made for such an interesting piece or 'net material, especially for a role playing community like ours. In facy, perhaps a topic about the mary sue test should be stickied in the RP section to help new RPers with their character developments?

Anyway, did one for Saku:

"Sakura Solo is suspiciously similar to you as you'd like to be. She may be popular, or she may not, but no matter what she's impossible to ignore; she stands out... just the way you always wanted to. There's never been anything special about her that she could see; boy, is she in for a surprise. She's come in for her share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage. And you've been sparing with the free handouts: whatever she gains, she's worked for.

In general, you care deeply about Sakura Solo, but you're smart enough to let her stand on her own, without burdening her with your personal fantasies or propping her up with idealization and over-dramatization. Sakura Solo is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of her."

...Yeah...

Taylor is suspiciously similar to you as you'd like to be. He isn't really very cool: he blends into crowds, he hangs out on the fringes at parties, and wearing shades after dark makes him run into things. He may have sometimes thought that he was special, or destined for greater things, but probably dismissed the idea as a fantasy. He's come in for his share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage. And he's gotten no slack from you.

In general, you care deeply about Taylor, but you're smart enough to let him stand on his own, without burdening him with your personal fantasies or propping him up with idealization and over-dramatization. Taylor is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of him.

Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

We had a topic about another mary-sue litmus test, but the problem with that one is that it doesn't fully fit Sonic Universe. This one's different. I took the test, despite the fact my characters are under construction again. It suggest I not worry about distancing myself so much.

Don't know what to say about the test, but it IS different from the the first topic that had a similar (maybe harsher) test.

Every character seems suspiciously similar to the creator's personal aspirations... >_> Now THAT'S suspicious.

I might just stop here and say... WHAT THE HECK DO ALL THE RATINGS MEAN ANYWAY? Wh- I mean- 'Yo!'? What is that anyway, what does it mean? I don't understand any of the parameters the characters are being tested on, so how is anyone meant to use this test accurately?

My verdict on this entire test: TO THE NINE HELLS WITH YOU! *casts power of the same name on test*

Natoa Yaniymee is suspiciously similar to you as you'd like to be. He may be popular, or he may not, but no matter what he's impossible to ignore; he stands out... just the way you always wanted to. He may have sometimes thought that he was special, or destined for greater things, but probably dismissed the idea as a fantasy. He's come in for his share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage.

I don't get the score thing, though.



I also did one for Tarnos. (Magnius)


Tarnos is nothing like you. He isn't really very cool: he blends into crowds, he hangs out on the fringes at parties, and wearing shades after dark makes him run into things. He may have sometimes thought that he was special, or destined for greater things, but probably dismissed the idea as a fantasy. He's had more than his fair share of hard knocks, and probably spends more time than he ought moaning about it. And you've been sparing with the free handouts: whatever he gains, he's worked for.

In general, you care deeply about Tarnos, but you're smart enough to let him stand on his own, without burdening him with your personal fantasies or propping him up with idealization and over-dramatization. Tarnos is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of him.

I object to your claims
Yeah, that score thing makes no sense whatsoever. :cofused:
