The Mary Sue Test!

Haven’t done one of these in a while. Let’s see how well my character Dolphus from the rp Tales of Glory and Valour: The Seafarers does :smirk:

They are possessed by an angel

They are possessed by a demon

They are a werewolf/vampire/faerie

They are physically strong.

They have a rare hair/fur color

Their eyes are an unusual color

This happens to be red

Their eyes change color

They have wings (singular for Dolphus)

They can grow extra body parts/ ■■■■■■■■■■ (does anyone know what this was supposed to be)

They are immortal

(if a female) they have large boobs

(if a male) they are very muscular

They are very attractive to the opposite gender.

They are telekinetic/pyrokinetic/etc

They have sixth sense/can mind-read/etc

They have an object of some sort that gives them powers

They have a special ability/power, but they don’t know about it yet

They were bestowed/cursed with these powers

They are a healer

They are from a very rich/royal family

They don’t know that they are from a very rich/royal background

They have lost one/both of their parents

They ran away from home

[ish] Their parents are cruel, uncaring, abusive etc. (not really sure how to answer this one because his mom was nice but died and his dad was very wicked but not to him per se [he also died])

They witnessed one/both of their parent’s death

They are part angel/demon/faerie/some other mythical creature

They never knew their parents

They were abused/spoiled as a child

They are very attractive to the same gender

They have lots of friends/no friends

They are emo/cutesy (checking this one since self-pity is a favorite pastime of Dolphus’ and his being young often leads to him feeling like people look down on him because of it)

They look much younger/older than they really are.

They are currently in a relationship

They have lots of morals and state them a fair bit for example: ‘I would rather be with my friends than with my boyfriend/girlfriend’ ‘Nothing matters more to me than my friends/family’ ‘I wouldn’t hesitate to die in place of a friend’ etc. It’s fine if your OC has these beliefs/values, but if they constantly say them out loud/preach them to others, then we have a problem.

They have a mental disorder

They have an emotional disorder (checking this one since there’s no option for trauma/traumatic experiences, which is honestly kinda wack)

They struggle to stay sane

They are a psycho

They have multiple personalities

They are very intelligent (Dolphus would probably be a lot more capable of utilizing his intelligence if he wasn’t being such a snot all the time)

They have hallucinations

They can summon spirits/demons/angels etc.

They have an unusual/unrealistic pet

They have a guardian spirit

They have a ‘special type’ of soul

Their soul is not the same as them

They can talk to spirits/ghosts (technically yes but that’s only because everyone can [if you’re in Togav you know :smirk:])

Some part of their body glows

They have a rare/unusual name (I mean I guess idk)

They were born on an important date, such as New Year’s Eve, Midsummers Night, The Winter Solstace etc.

They have a twin/sibling that they were separated from at birth/a young age

They are connected with a certain element

They are connected with a certain animal (take a wild guess folks)

They always dress like a certain ‘label’

They look quite a bit like a character from a popular anime/manga

They are a race/species that is discriminated against/misunderstood

They have a certain power that is misunderstood/feared (it’s almost entirely in Dolphus’ head, but yes)

They live/lived on the streets at some point in their lives

They are hiding from someone/something

They have a rare blood type

They cry blood

Certain noises/smells/situations/etc make their powers activate/give them a nervous breakdown (I feel like Dolphus has been on the edge of a nervous breakdown for most of the rp)

They are from a different country to where they live

They are very mysterious/dark

They are very lively/happy

Their mood changes a lot/very quickly

They are very patient

They are from a long line of … (political manipulators, leveraging the financial systems in place to make everything worse all the time; corporatism at its finest :sunglasses:)

They have a piece of jewelry/clothing that they always wear (military cape [guess why])

They have amnesia (part of this complete breakfast [comes with abandonment issues and a massive concussion])

They have some sort of permanent medical condition

The have a curse upon them

They are involved in some sort of prophecy

They are ‘the chosen one’

They have insomnia

Take points off your OCs overall score if they fit any of the following statements: (Honestly this part doesn’t defy Mary Sue conventions by any means but whatever)

They smoke

They are an alcoholic

They are overweight

They are addicted to drugs

They have a short temper

They enjoy bullying others (depends on the person)

They do not care much about others (depends on the person [some people he greatly obsesses over])

They are emotionless
