This is how I will view Amaryl from now on Very Happy

by **Amaryl** Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:11 pm

She is plain looking.... considering everyone has the same model >.>

by **erwtenpeller** Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:16 pm

Amaryl has way too friendly eyes for such a hardass, though.

by **Lexgrad** Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:20 pm

Plain and homely Amaryl.... Will she ever find a man Sad

by **Amaryl** Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:24 pm

You are just an undeath away from being Lex Very Happy

Dru always rates as a Mary Sue on these tests. 44 on this one. /nod

by **Amaryl** Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:58 pm

Is that a hint dru? Razz

by **Axio** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:04 pm

Also got a 44... this test is clearly biased against undead spellcasters. Evil or Very Mad

by **Lexgrad** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:17 pm

Dont even want to put Unas in Very Happy

Dreth is a 31 Sad

by **Lorainne/Bridlington** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:22 pm

15 for Lorainne.

by **Baròth / Olian** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:22 pm

I put Olian in as best as I could.
...
I got 56 points. >_>

by **Manathon** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:23 pm

Manathon scored 6, Riz'han 2, and Xildon -2.

Seems Xildon is the blandest and most boring there is.

by **Braiden** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:27 pm

Braiden got a 19.

It's a hint that just having a "Mary Sue" (as defined by these tests) is not a problem at all, which is why all these tests fail. You can list all the 'cliches' and 'powers' you want, but it's never about that. It's about how you play the character. Many good characters from fiction also score highly on these tests (imagine testing Gandalf, or Sauron).

Being powerful and larger-than-life does not on its own make a bad character.

Real Mary Sues come from being poorly played, not from a list of powers or cliches.

Just dont roll on AD where I guess anything over 5 is grounds for stoning.

by **Morinth** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:47 pm

I got an 8. :O I thought the 'pirate' thing would give me at least 20 points, but it turns out she's well balanced. xD

by **Nessra Sunwhisper** Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:48 pm

Nessra 7
Vrenya 3
I didn't think they'd be that boring >.>
cba to test the rest

by **Velynia** Wed Mar 07, 2012 5:45 pm

I think we can come to the conclusion that it's actually a fairly broken, or at least delusional test.

by Guest Wed Mar 07, 2012 5:50 pm

Can someone who knows loads about the lore test Gandalf or Sauron please.

by **Lexgrad** Wed Mar 07, 2012 5:53 pm

My money is on Gandalf to be more mary sue. The whole "run you fools" thing then gandalf the white swings it. Gandalf... what a sucky cliche char.

by **Drustai** Wed Mar 07, 2012 6:18 pm

To give an idea...

Gandalf was basically a god in mortal form.
