Is Your Character a Mary Sue? | Comments

Huh. That's pretty nice,especially for a fanmade character. I didn't want her TOO boring to be considered as a mere background character (or comic relief), or TOO much of a Mary-sue to be unrelatable. But I honestly expected her to have a higher... Mary-sueness percent? I mean, she IS part of a line of "cursed" decendants of a main character and gets discriminated because if it...

But what if the races have unusually colored hair and eye colors (ex. Purple, green, blue, pink, etc.), which is considered normal in their world? I don't think they would be a Mary-sue with that, except if the character has some type of hair/eye color that stands out.

I got 27%

I did this for my SIO (self-insert oc) for welcome home named Soba

She's a Tanuki puppet who has Schizophrenia, Tics, and ADHD

She's supposed to be a somewhat recreation of me (ex: Black hair, Schizo, ADHD, clumsy, etc.) I also made her fall in love with one of the main characters. She's possessed by a demon who can cover half of her body in toxic black ink with tentacles on her back. She's soft-spoken and barely talks, usually using hand gestures or her head.

She's multilingual (She can speak Japanese, English, Spanish, German, and Russian) with her nationality being Japanese.

I might add more, being that shes still in development, if anyone has tips for her/me, please do tell!

Name: Tracei
Species: Dog
Gender: Female
Age: 22

Preferences: Anyone, as long as she trusts them or thinks they might like her back.

Main fandom/originated fandom: Happy Tree Friends

Birthday: May 18th, 1998

Bio: Tracei is a 22 year old dog who enjoys relaxing, reading, and having fun with some coffee and friends. She did experience some negative experiences as a child/teen, as her parents separated when she was 12, and she started going to therapy a few months after. Whenever she hears yelling, screaming, overall threats, even if pretend, or anything that reminds her of her parents' divorce, she can't stop herself from harming the people who said/did these things, and once all is said and done, she immediately regrets it and starts crying. Her main weapon of choice is a knife, or pepper spray. She chose her father for custody, and personally liked it when they used to calm down and read a book or play a game. Her current crush is Flippy, a 22 year old bear. She mainly likes him because he reminds her of her father, who passed when she was 17. She also likes him for his overall personality. She hasn't asked him out to a date yet, as she is afraid he will reject her/start hating her.

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-

I got a 23% on my Original Character named Clarissa (she goes by Claire more often though.) I think my character was rated 23% pretty fairly, but she also isn't fully developed, I've actually been focusing on some side plots and side characters while trying to develop her more at the same time. (Here's some of her backstory and what I'm trying to accomplish.)

So basically, this story started from a dream (I actually want to do the same thing when I have the money.) I had at the starting of 2020, some characters were going on a road trip. I don't know they're reasons, maybe they just wanted adventure? Anyways, they all had many flaws, one girl was fairly overweight and was discouraged about dating at all. But her group of friends helped her gain confidence and she actually ended up having some sort of love triangle with some already existing characters that were with them. And they basically just explored their universe. But I've come a long way with MY actual universe that has my OC Claire in it. Their government is trying it's best to keep its citizens safe, but some characters in my side plot discuss that more and what is going on behind closed doors. Claire and her friends come from all walks of life and want to find their place in the world. She brings a close friend of hers from school along the way with her. She has no mental illnesses so far, I'm not attracted to the idea of her (the protagonist) having a severe mental illness, side characters mostly represent the problems people face with certain mental issues. She is rather moody and can snap sometimes. She actually started as a self-insert character, but I'm slowly trying to make here, her own person and NOT just me. I think I would feel too vulnerable to have a character that close to myself being public anyways. Anyways, she is supposed to grow as a person at the end, as for other characters stay the same, the biggest problem I think I'm facing is not thinking of how the story ends... I know I won't be

Got around a 30% Mary Sue, didn't know what I was expecting and my character is still vastly unwritten for now, but that's alright.

For those out of the loop, my character is Maru "Pluto" Realta. In the universe he comes from, planets and moons have vast concentrations of godly energy at their cores, called World Souls, which can be forged into god-like avatars. Maru is the World Soul of the dwarf planet Pluto. He is aware of a prophecy of a human-borne beast who ushers in an era of chaos and discord, bringing an end to all life in the solar system. And what does Maru, a human-borne beast do? He ushers in an era of chaos and discord, bringing an end to all life in the solar system, naively believing that ending humanity will put a stop to the prophecy, whilst at the same time fulfilling it. The story involves so many other characters, including Eris, Arrokoth, Sedna, Nemesis, Nibiru, Tyche, and so many others I could not name all of them here.

Hope y'all enjoyed; I look forward to your thoughts.

26% is lower than I was expecting - these tests are unable to take a lot of context into the equation, so they tend to be inaccurate at best and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Though I guess I know how to handle my overpowered, immortal energy beings well if all a major leader scores is 26% on a casual test when being one of the most powerful pieces in the game, so to speak.

But then, I also just focus on making my characters be well-rounded people first and foremost, and worry about anything else later.

The character I ran through this is an angel named Ambriel, who is the angel of harmony. Very powerful by mortal standards, and able to draw upon the energies of his home plane to augment his own when needed.

He's also a sweetheart dork who gets stage fright and has been through his fair share of troubled and fantastic experiences.

25% - Human girl introduced in ER waiting room, time freezes, Grim f---ing Reaper appears and is like “Oh s---, you can see me” so they take her to the spirit world and she ends up meeting a bunch of gods that represent abstract human emotions (but not like the Greek gods or anything similar except for basic design inspiration). She’s got one prophecy that’s barely a prophecy that just says that “Hey, we got a god of birth and a god of dying, we need a god of living” and she ends up being that “god” after laying the previous god of living (antagonist) to rest.

She’s got no trauma, but she is adopted. Named Iris; she’s got this brownish-blonde hair in the physical world, but because appearances change based on souls in the spirit world she has this light purple/lilac hair. Her eyes don’t change, and they’re brown. Literally nobody romances her because she’s aroace (dunno why there isn’t a “nobody falls in love with them” option and the minimum is 1 person) and nobody “tries to fix her” or whatever.

She’s just good vibes in a pastel package surrounded by the immortal skittle squad.

"I received 18%, I consider it a good result. Well, of course, the grade isn't perfect, but I'll work on it and come back here. The character has nothing of mine, and is even of a different gender. His name is Baltazar, and he is a young adult at the age of 36 (looks his age). I didn't mention it earlier, but he is an elf (in his world, there are plenty of supernatural beings, and they keep their distance from humans). As for the history, I have everything done. His father was the leader of the Dashwood clan, and his mother was a warrior of the Teko clan. Unfortunately, she passed away during childbirth, and the father, who never wanted a child and didn't have time to take care of him, handed him over to his relative from another clan. When he grew up between two clans, a war broke out, and some children were afraid of him, while others treated him as an enemy. He tried to compensate for his genes with studying and hard work, but it didn't always work out. He was both intelligent and humorous, so he got along well with animals and excelled in academics, but he was clumsy in combat and magic studies. He was chosen as the guardian of dragons. (This role involves living away from the village in a large building and taking care of magical creatures.) He liked it because he had contact with magnificent creatures and could train with his new master, who was an elf. He continued his education until he became an adult. After a while, his master died, and he decided to take on his first student, who was a hybrid of a human and a wolf. Aster, as his student was called, was energetic, but it was hard for him to focus. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of a warrior from the Dashwood clan, and Baltazar blamed himself for it for the rest of his life. Some time passed, and he learned that he had siblings, but that's a long side story. Returning to the present. He decided to mentor another student, this time a hybrid of an elf and a deer. He trained him as best as he could. He on

I did this for fun with my character. He started out as a self insert but has kinda evolved into his own thing, as well as a staple part of my storie and world building. I know this is old as s---, but I will take literally any opportunity to talk about my OC universe. He is part of the pantheon that I'm working on (and currently he's the only polished one) of gods. He's the God of saltwater (and can breathe only in salt water) and he is also in charge of marine life. He actually doesn't take the form of human very much anymore because after some things that go down in his pantheon (one of the gods wipes out the people who worshipped them) he and his pantheon fell from grace and lost the strength in their powers. Now he's unable to maintain a human form for long periods of time because condensing his original body into such a small form takes a lot of power. His normal look is a gigantic sea monster who slithers the depths. My current main OC for a webtoon I'm working on is actually a descendant of his, though he doesn't have really any powers other than the usual water-based stuff. Anyway, he's pretty pathetic especially when compared to the other gods, and him and the rest of his pantheon are looked down upon and ridiculed for the things that happened, which makes him hate interacting with other gods. His story revolves around him rebuilding his follower count and coming back into power in hopes of making life easier.

I got 20% I made an oc who is just really morally gray she's mishaps and many people hate her for being all around anoing she will help when it's convenient for her , she has my flaws such as dyslexia and asma and a constant habit of talking to her self she really doesn't have a backstory she just showed up one day and hopes between worlds to mes with the casts of the shows such as pranking harry Potter or anoin deku to his braking point and just likes having fun

I got 17%! Firstly, my character's an OC for a story I'm making. He's not human, but nobody in the story is human, either. Does that count as a Mary/Gary Sue trait? He's called Alexei Bane, or Alex - he prefers this - for short. He has blue eyes and white hair (unnaturally colored hair is common in the world though), and he's 20 years old. He's a hero in the story - but it's a job. Kind of like the heroes in MHA or the ADA in BSD?

He does attract attention when he goes out, because he's known as a celebrity. He has a reputation for being an angel of sorts, his looks play a part in this, though in actuality he's quite emotional and angry.

He does have a boyfriend (bisexual), no he hasn't slept with other people a lot because he has a boyfriend and neither of them are interested in a polyromantic relationship. For his parents, they're dead. They were former heroes who were famous, and though they had a good reputation, he was pressured to become a hero by them. He's traumatised by them and has difficulty expressing himself and venting it healthily, but he's seeking out help with a therapist. Due to his trauma, he has anxiety (coming from a person who has anxiety I'm not adding this in because iT's CoOl or whatever). He takes safe space with his boyfriend.

He does have a supernatural power, but everybody has them in the story. He has teleportation and is quite good at hand to hand combat. He dreams of being an artist, but is scared of the backlash if he quits his job so suddenly. He's the victim of a tragedy where multiple heroes and civilians were massacred by a criminal group. He did suffer some injuries, however he survived. His parents were also killed from this, and he feels guilt for being glad at the moment that he heard that they died (his parents did all the things you're not supposed to do to a living being that starts with an a and ends with an e). Due to this and his trauma, he became a hero and constantly hates it.

Would this count as a Mary/Gary Sue

Huh, a 20% not bad... I was honestly expecting a lot more because of how kinda O.P. (not a lot but still enough to be mentioned) my persona is.

Okie, SO! A little bit of context for how my persona was created (this will be really important in a sec). I can't have dreams that look realistic(e.g. lucid dreams, ones with real place or time settings e.x.) or else I'll have a Nightmare and wake up crying (roughly about 4 times out of ten) because of this I often have dreams that are in the fictional world and look like the art style as well. I have a type of photographic memory that allows my mind to remember things like this, but also alter the image if my mind doesn't like it(why I can dream in an art style). NOW this is the cool part. I can remember most of my dreams and because of this I remember what a character looked like too. I normally play as (or am represented)in said dream as a persona named Omega Bites.

Omega Bites is what I'd like to call my subconscious self as that's how they were created, by my dreams. They are a 7'0 to 7'6 (when on all fours) feet tall fluffy,gold and Blush-peach Pantherine (Wild cat, typically lion, or other with bird or other animal wings) Other Cat (a jumble of wild cat's so messed up ya don't know what type it is) with white wings, the tips turning to a rainbow like color. They have a freakishly long tail with a silver-gray mechanical claw-like mechanism on the end. The end of their tail can open up to reveal syringes and potion-like bottles. Said syringes can be fired at an impressive speed much like a bullet would. Omega Bites can also shape-shift and is mostly lurking, watching, or engaging with the main character's adventure in my dreams, since I typically don't like to make my dreams all about myself. Omega has a small,brown, pouch-like infinity bag wrapped around their neck. They often apply to cartoon logic when dealing with world physics or types of magic. Speaking of which! Omega's magic is pretty weird, although it's most

The OC used is part of an original story. She is one of three main characters, who are part of a group of five friends. She's minorly physically disabled and has a fear of heights. She has wings because she's not human, in a world full of not humans. She's 16, though I may change her age as she's only 16 because she was original a human fan character for a game and most of the game's protagonists are 16. She's introverted but has no problem interacting with people she knows well and trusts. She tends to bottle up her emotions and wants to show no weakness. She goes through an emotional journey throughout the course of the story showing her it's okay to show weakness and stuff like that, but she still continues to bottle up her emotions and tries not to show weakness because she doesn't like dealing with emotions. Her fear of heights is bad and often weighs the group down, and the group is usually annoyed. She's lesbian, and the other characters are a straight guy, a biromantic girl, a aromantic boy, and a toric (attracted to men) non binary person. Her only possible love interest in the group is the Bi woman, but neither see the other like that and she doesn't get to know any other people well in the course of the story, so doesn't get a love interest. Her parents divorced but she still keeps in touch with both of them and has a good relationship with them.

Do you think she's a mary sue?

I got 25% wow

I have a character who is recognized fairly easily but not in their first appearance since the first appearance of that character is in a crowded lunch room where everyone who is royalty eats (character is a queen) she did have a tragic past which gave her PTSD and a fear of knives. A lot of people fell in love with her because they think she is hot but she never really likes any of them. (most are fanboys/fangirls/fanthems) probably since she isn't ever gonna give her ghost hubby up. She does have purple eyes but they are pretty common as most people on her planet have weird eye or hair colors. Her PTSD is never blamed for her actions and she is pretty selfish sometimes. She actually only befriended the M.C to get revenge on her enemy, who the M.C dislikes. However, she does have a nice side that the M.C gets through to before the big bad fight. She never had a bad past with her parents so no need to apologize to them. That's about it
