The OC/Fursona (don't bash me for that) Is called Avi Yan, a play on words for Avian, because she's an American Robin. Yes, that's kinda cheesy but that's okay. Apparently, she's 19% a Mary Sue. That's not bad, at least for a character who stays inside her house all day, is almost always on the computer, and only goes outside once a week. Avi's obsessed with a fictional character to the point where she made a religion about them. Yes, that's what I do. This stupid-ass bird acts exactly like me, except she's less closeted about it. f---.

My Oc is a water demon, named Bashu, and got 18 percent on this test. He is royalty and one of many in line to rule. (Many siblings) He is a deceptive, and manipulative, egotistical jerk. His backstory is kind of edgy, ngl. Bashu killed this rich guy,by poisioning his drink. His best friend finds out and confronts him. They get into a big fight, and Bashu kills them, by stabbing them with a broken chair leg. (Only weapon around.) He was never caught, although some suspect him, and lives with the guilt. He looks somewhat like a goblin/lizard and very feminine. Bashu also has one blind eye and wears a suit. Anyways might spice them up a bit.

Also forgot to mention, he has the power to open non enchanted locks with magic.

Name is pronounced Nedai but she shortens it to Nee. She has tanned skin, a slim build, and long black hair reaching her shoulders. She has completely solid gold eyes, x tattoos all over her body that glow orange when she gets angry, and a pair of small brownish-golden horns on her head. Between the horns she has silvery antlers that radiate a sort of blue smoke, which changes colors depending on her mood. She is also much taller than most, because she has a sort of anthropomorphic deer legs that are very long. She usually wears a T-shirt from a popular brand in-universe and jean shorts, and she sometimes puts a leather jacket over it. In her human disguise her eyes turn brown with gold flecks, the horns, antlers, and deer legs disappear, and most of the x's all over her disappear, leaving just a few on her arms.
Her story is that long ago, she and my 2 other oc's (Igi and Tao) were the first beings to exist. They started the universe billions of years ago, and the blast was so powerful it knocked them out for a couple hundred years. When they woke up, a society had been started with deities each owning planets and nurturing the life on them. They each decided to find a planet and hopefully one day create a great civilization. Igi and Tao worked hard to take care of their planets, and so did Nee... at first. But then one day she made a volcano erupt, and she liked seeing the organisms die... soon she became more and more addicted to it and a couple million years later, wiped out the dinosaurs. She saw that a new species was maturing, and couldn't wait to do experiments on them. Igi and Tao found out and tried to stop her. This started a great war that lasted for who knows how long. In this war Nee created devils and Igi created angels to serve as armies. At the end of the war, Igi and Tao created a thick golden collar that wrapped around Nee's neck, and it silenced most of her power. For her last spell, Nee permanently removed the same amount of magic fro

I got a 19%. I find that a little surprising because I thought it might be like... a 45% or maybe 60%. IDK!!! Anyways, my character's name is Johnson Taylor Adams. He has blue eyes, blond hair and freckles he sounds like he might be really attractive but he is not as good looking as you think because of his weird hair style (besides that he looks normal). He is my creepypasta OC and he is a human who doesn't have much friends, oh and he is also bisexual. His parents are not related to him because he was adopted. One day he was just walking with a friend with some Tim Horton's coffee in his hand, then he saw a man trying to kidnap a child. He then shoved his coffee into his friends chest (the coffee was hot) then ran over to stop the man. He got onto the man and was just trying to hold him down till the police came but he felt a weird urge... to kill him (he is wrong in the mind). Next thing you know, you see your friend on top of man beating him to death while you have hot coffee all over you. By the time the police got there the man was dead and John was fleeing from the scene. He got caught and had to answer some questions. Apparently his foster father was injured in some way and almost died in the hospital, that was blamed on John but they could not arrest him because they did not have enough evidence to do so (he did not do it... don't worry). After two mouths of being in prison he finally decided to end his life... he failed and was taken into a hospital. The power went out. There was a doctor at John's side, John killed him and left still in his hospital gown. John hid in an ally hoping not to get caught. It was raining hard (the reason for the power outage) and he just wanted everything to go back to normal but the only way he could do that is impossible... to make a deal with the demon! He prayed to a demon and about two or three days later (still in hospital gown) he woke up with a weird and painful feeling near his left temple, his fingers ached and he had
-
sorry it cut it off... here is the rest
massive black claws that ripped his lips open. Oh and one more cringy thing... he had a sharp tail rip through the skin of his tailbone (maybe you have not had the same thing as him... XD ). So I guess he is not completely human or demon now, he is a half demon (with a shuby wubby little unicorn horn ^w^ ). Anyways, I am gonna make the rest a bit quicker because I don't have much room left. He rolled on the ground to try and get the voice to stop. And it did, then one voice came and said "You want to be treated like a normal person again? Maybe have some more friends? I will help you because I know some people, but when you die you will not go to heaven... or hell. YOU WILL BE WITH ME!!!" (where is that... that guy who was talking was the prince of purgatory, so probably somewhere there. But wait and keep reading, there is a problem for the prince pretty soon) (I'm still too slow, sorry). Slenderman appeared behind John about 5 minutes after the weird voice and teleported him to the creepypasta hang out (IDK if it is a mansion or a cabin or ... IDK!!!). He became a proxy of Slendypoo and is not really getting along with Hoody (Brian) and EJ (Eyeless Jack). Oh and you know that problem I was talking about... well (IDK if it is true but) Slenderman makes it that his proxys can't die soo... no purgatory for John. Sorry that there was a lot here. I just like writing and sharing my OC's stories with other people. Thx.

My oc is Abbie. She is basically a clumsy, shy, naive, and optimistic kid. The only thing tragic about her is that her dad is basically a manic and that she has lung disease-
She has blue eyes and platinum blonde hair, as well as peach skin. She only has one dude who has a crush on her and she is practically oblivious about it rip
For the most part, she's basically a happy little ray of sunshine who has many flaws to work on. Her life is pretty plain and she's okay with that.
All talk aside, she is mah bby ;w;

Right. So, my character is a petty sadsack that compensates for a childhood of isolation by being so overly dramatic and attention seeking it causes humongous inconveniences for everyone else; amongst her hobbies includes swindling money, hoarding data and emotionally manipulating others.
She's also a humongous coward with a cruel streak a mile wide, and revels in the idea of shoving the blame onto someone else. She's quick witted, outwardly charming, but lacks any meaningful connections because of an inability to realistically sympathize with others.
16%. Not bad.
Anyways. This test is more about whether the character is overbloated with information and less about whether they are a Mary Sue. None of these aspects, individually, are actively terrible - the problem only comes when an author tries to shove so many of them into a single vessel that the reader becomes disorientated with what themes the character is supposed to represent.
And some of the questions are just petty. "Is your character overweight?" "Do they have a disability?" "Does your character have purple eyes?"
Really. Treating these things are inherently good / bad in terms of character design is ridiculous, since they are all physical features that have nothing to do with the character's personality. If Harry Potter was an overweight, schizophrenic dweeb with purple eyes he'd still be the same mean spirited b------, but he wouldn't be a Mary Sue. Inversely, if you put the qualities on, say, anyone from Twilight, yes! They would be Mary Sues, because Twilight is written with the English capabilities of a bobcat s---ting on a discarded typewriter.
So in short, this quiz isn't an accurate representation of what a Mary Sue is - some questions have their merit - but the things the quizmaker labels as "Good" or "Bad" don't actually have any impactual weight on a character as a whole.
Tl;DR: This is not a Mary Sue Quiz. It is a "Is your character overbloated with conflicting themes + Ideas, Quiz.

I got a 17 (I can't find the percent button HELP.)
I mean my OC's life is pretty boring (She likes eating worms though) nothing happens until she's like older than 18, her sister dies one day but ok, I guess?. Then she gets manipulated by some person she met in the woods cause you know, she is r e a l ly sma r t, and she ends up getting killed. Take Moon's story as warning children, don't trust demons in the middle of the woods.
She's also stupid. Just throw her in the t r a s h .
She's also a furr-

So what 17%, I get it my characters a demon.. the thing is hes poor and uhh is an oc based from Hasbin Hotel. It makes sense Id get these results. His name is Victor Von Blue and his nicknames are mostly from his boss and my friends hasbin ocs, his nicknames from his boss is gay water, red eyed blue hound and small gay horns. From his friend Mickey, wannabe, blue macaroni, and heart tailed lump. Tricky, no nicknames from tricky currently. Nikkie, nicknames from nikkie are Vicky, drunk blue slime, and pal. Nicknames from himself are, dapper demon [his stage name for singing at the pub,] failing chum, and starry fright. Hes a tax collector and likes to communicate with his friend from earth, faith who claims to be related to him As he just flicks her nose. Hes blue as his horns are connected to his head, he has no hair and has a heart shaped tail with a black dot at the end of it. I can understand why this quiz thinks hes a bit Mary Sue due to him being an oc from hasbin hotel.

I got a 19% score. My characters name is Katherine and she grew up in the year 1945-1964 (she's 19) she's a complete greaser. She has black hair and brown eyes. Usually has her hair in a ponytail. Her parents died in a plane crash so she's terrified of planes, but she still has her seven brothers (chill bro, my grandma's got 11 siblings, it ain't that many) she was raped when she was 14 so I guess that adds to the sorta tragicness. She got into track sorta stuff cause of that and fighting. Her brothers have a book full of questions like an interview if she gets a boyfriend so that makes funny scenarios. She just kinda doesn't really care bout much. Guys usually try to get with her but because of her past shes like "Aw, heaccc naw!" She's pretty crazy. Pulls stupid pranks on her friends. Actually knows how to play sports cause of her brothers. (that was a big thing for girls to be able to do in the 60's) she'll only say things that she'd say to your face. If you ask her what she said under her breath she'll say it so the whole world can here. She only has one cat.

Oops, her name's Kateline, not Katherine.

Is 33% percent bad, my character was made for a role play as kinda a persona for a rp group, but now since that group is long gone and I'm trying to fix her, and I was doing with her earlier and the other rper OC said I was such a Mary sue, ik this was the oc talking but gotta wonder.
-
33%. Could be worse, for a fan character. Her past Kabul super weird, she was injected with a drug at a young age that was designed to give superpowers, but the whole thing backfired and the world ended. She did end up weird superpowers, but she had no idea how to use them, since she was 8. She ends up with a disease that I made up, which basically causes her to not grow (shes 45), not sleeping, see into her worst memories from the third person, and be able to burn people unintentionally. Though most of the characters would see it as a blessing, she sees it as a curse, because she has to relive the worst moments of her life in the few times she DOES sleep and even while shes awake sometimes. Shes selfish, scary, a bit cruel, and fails to recognize when its okay to be scared or concerned. Shes not great at reading situations, and also lacks empathy and is claustrophobic... So yeah, AOT fanfics be like-

4 foot 5, not 45!! Shes actually 868 years old... but shes also technically 16. Its weird, but yeah...

I thought it would be higher since I answered yes for the singing and prophecy questions, but I'm not complaining .
My OC is miss Roxanne DeLuise, a witty southern belle with dreams of being a rockstar.
Her destiny is to destroy a contract between a demon and a psychotic woman, with the help of her band and an old flame, in order to save rock and roll.

I put in answers for my current main man Chrys. He ended up getting a lot lower than I thought. Though I guess this quiz doesn't account for mad scientist type characters. That and humans in the world he's from tend to be the blandest of the bunch. Only reason Chrys is as important as he is to the story is because of a prophecy he thinks is made up so his boss has a reason to hate him. He doesn't even want to fulfill it. He just wants to get paid, go home, and spend time with his husband and sons.

So Juna is a 14 years old singer and child actress from South Korea. She started her acting career since she was 6 and also composed most of her songs. She also pretty skilled at playing guitar but of course all this skills needs years to develop. She started both singing and dancing lessons shortly after she started her acting lesson and she was very tired at first. Her popularity started to risen at age 10 and this is also the same year she started learning guitar mainly because she grew interest with the sound
She is well-mannered, calm, collected, and intelligent but blunt and sarcastic especially if she's around her close friends or family but her bluntness can be a problem as she was pushed by some or few of her peers because of this trait. She's also distant as she was almost always alone during her days in elementary and quite skeptical the people around her after experiencing being used for her talents mainly by adults
As for her appearance she has a wavy black hair that reached her waist and gentle pale purple eyes. She usually wears streetwear or casual clothes and not really like feminime clothing

ok NGL, as much as a lot of these questions make sense, some of these should not and realistically do not count as valid. In any other genre besides plain old Mayo fiction you're gonna have some of these elements included naturally. Like off of this, to assume an orc is a Mary Sue cuz of their eyes being orange or something? Just a note to anybody new to writing, don't feel insecure or think ur character is a mary sue for obvious fantasy elements in a fantasy setting. Your elf or kobold can have glowing pink eyes and lose their family without being a Mary Sue. Just make sure what you give your character makes sense in such a setting. And to de-mary-sue a character by being fat or retarded is kind of depressing.
that being said, the actual plot elements still apply across genres, dont be afraid of character flaws.

Woah, 12%. Its alright though, being a downright terrible person is his whole shtick.
Honestly didnt know what to put for whether I described my character poetically. Ive called him quite a few things the only one I can find at the moment is our beloved fruity little dirty sack of burning maggots. Not sure if thats poetic enough for you, but Ive never written anything more touching.
Loved the quiz btw! This was surprisingly well made, thank you :))

24% I used my self comfort character, Aurora. I daydream a lot so in my daydreams I just am her. Shes 11 years old and has dirty blonde hair with brown eyes, shes pretty scrawny. Shes DIO's kid ( I make my characters overpowered, due to long lasting effects of my brother convincing me any character I think of will become real, or I can become them when I was 4-10. ) She lives in a edited-for-convivence jojo timeline where for some reason part 5 happened in 2020? so that it takes place in present time. basically after part 5 DIO decided " ew giorno became joestar friend " and decided to take in Aurora to raise her to not be a joestar friend or something. I KNOW SHES A MARY SUE, BUT SHES MY COMFORT CHARACTER

I got 30%, I was somehow expecting more than that. My character is named Arisu Lee, in her world people can turn into mythical and non-mythical creatures, and she can turn herself into a Japanese Dragon.(People haven't able to turn into one for centuries or so) So Arisu is the only dragon around. Arisu is quiet, mature serious and doesn't like making friends much because it distracts her from studying. But, she eventually breaks off of that belief and does make friends and as the story progresses she becomes a softer person but still has her edges. She doesn't get bullied because she isn't bad looking and her family is a bit wealthy but they think she is weird and they sometimes tease, which; results in her ignoring them or simply responding back with a smartass response. She is pale with short, dark blue hair and hazel-yellow eyes(But most people in the story have eyes and hair like that). I can kinda see why I got 30% but it was a good quiz!

Another thing is she has your typical dragon powers. Everyone in her world that can turn into mythical creatures; can use their powers when they are human but just portion of the power that they can get as their creature form. But, that was my terrible character that I put to the test on this quiz.
