Borderline Mary-sue! The character has a few traits of a mary-sue, remember, if a character doesn’t need a certain trait, or you can’t justify your reason for having it, they don’t need it!

I’m starting to think this person’s definition of “good” characters aren’t very interesting. Tank checks a lot of these boxes and he’s among the most compelling characters I’ve ever made.

ztyx, who is like, one of my most normal iz ocs (besides having no pak) got a 26
and weirdly slut is a 7 because theyre dumb as hell
these tests usually make literally every character trait a factor into being a mary sue without really considering what makes a character interesting or how stories work LOL

Mega Sue! A character here is probably very cliché and overpowered at this point, there appearance could probably use some changes too, it might be quite a bit of work but you can always start again.
You wish. You just wish you could make characters as compelling as mine

That’s exactly the problem! Plus, certain characters work better for certain types of plot lines or certain genres. |

“Uninteresting hobbies” YOU FOOL! All hobbies are interesting to someone! It’s almost like this entire quiz is completely arbitrary!

okie lets do one for puney with detailed stuff
(I GUESS)
(DUDE sometimes its funny to have your oc be in gay marriage with tallest purple)
for a total of 42. theres not even a lot of traits here that apply to puney and he still got labeled a sue...
this test is likely made with the mindset of "im sick of seeing all these 12 year olds making demon/angel hybrid irken ocs who are in love with dib" instead of like, looking at literally any normal persons ocs and fancontent and realizing thats pretty ok actually thats just what 12 year olds do with their ocs
i think mary sue tests are really fucking funny bc of how many normal fancharacter traits they just throw in there

Yes, it IS pretty cool to have your OC marry Tallest Purple! And 12-year old style OCs can actually be pretty awesome, especially if they’re not taken too seriously or if the lore implications of them being a angel/demon hybrid Irken is actually explored. |
