Total Reduction: 0.5


Final Total: 6.5

<5 -Anti-Sue
Your character may be a bit on the boring side. No reason a character scoring this low can't be a a fascinating and exciting character, but generally if they are scoring this low, it wouldn't hurt to 'spice them up' a bit.

6-15 -Balanced Character
If your OC scored around here, then they are probably quite a well-balanced and interesting character. Those scoring in the higher end of this category may be a bit too much though.

16-25 -Borderline Mary-Sue
You probably need to tone your character down; characters that score this high tend to annoy people.

26> -Mary-Sue 

This is not a definitive test: with all the variety of people there are, a character could very well score a 26  on this and not a Mary-Sue; but these are all things that Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus tend to have in common, so if your character scores high on this test, it is likely(not definite, but likely) that said character is a Mary Sue/Gary Stu

This is for my O.C from :iconheroic-academy:
