I picked the most "Mary Sue-ish" character I have, which is Kark.
Does your OC hate “the tallest”? (+3)
Does your OC hate any of the canon characters? (+3) (They hate the Irken government, which would include all canon high ranking Irken officials.)
Do they feel the urge, or drive to take revenge on any of these canon characters? (+4) (Not because of the person specifically, but because of what their presence in society represents; the upholding of an unjust government. I’m including this because of that.)
Has your OC ever been...
Been “a defect”? (+2)
An outcast? (+2) (I guess? Not exactly alone in society, but separate from a majority of the population due to their affiliation with an anti-empire terrorist organization.)
De-suefiers:
They have a low status job (-2)
Total: 12
20-10
Probably not a Mary-sue, but still so Sue-is traits. So just be careful.
Some of these questions are weird? I don’t get why making a character a different gender than you is a “de-suefier”? You can definitely make bad characters that aren't the same gender as you.
I don’t get why an invader character is a sue trait since many invaders canonically exist in the show. There’s Operation Impending Doom II invaders which there were a limited number of and all were shown in the show, but you could make an Operation Impending Doom I invader since we never got to see any and have it make sense canonically. That’s also not including the possibility that there were other operations previously that didn’t include invaders.
I also don’t get why an interest in the supernatural is a sue trait too because supernatural stuff also canonically is a thing in the show and exists outside of Earth (i.e demons and ghosts).
Same thing with the questions about pink since Zim himself is pink along with a number of other Irken characters. It’s very possible to have a pink eyed character with a pink uniform since those are color coordinated.
