User blog:DazzlingEmerald/Naruto Fandom: Mary Sue Test

Salutations, members of Naruto Fanon.

Today, I bring to you something that will most likely be very controversial here, but I feel as though it would aid us in our change of heart immensely. Make of it what you will; whether or not you choose to abide to it is strictly up to you. This is referred to as the "Mary Sue Test", which is a test an original character goes through to determine how over powered they truly are. Now, I am of no exception in this case. My main character happens to be one of the most over powered characters on the site, even after undergoing significant alterations. As I said before, make of it what you will, though I ask that you keep this in mind, because it is truly a reliable source when judging characters.

This test comes from a user on the Naruto OC Wiki. I think it is quite interesting to compare our standards with that of another Naruto Fanon Wiki. It really goes to say a lot... well, you'll see once you take this test.

Naruto-Fandom Specific Mary Sue / Gary Stu Test.

Disclamer: NO question on this test based off of one sole OC I have seen. It was not made to attack anyone.This test is based on the Mary Sue Litmus Test but modified to be Naruto fandom specific. Question: What is a Gary Stu or a Mary Sue? Answer:  A Mary sue/ Gary stu in short terms is a character that is either too perfect, too cliche, too unoriginal, too unbelievable for the series, a self insertion or any combination of the these traits. They are not good and despised by the majortiy of readers. Anyone can make a Mary Sue since theytare the easiest and most boring way of creating a fan character. With enough critique and feedback; almost ANY mary sue is reedemable if one is willing to change the character enough.

Question: Can you explain your terminology?

Answer: A Gary Stu is the male version of a character of this type of character. A Mary Sue is the female version of this type of character. OC stands for "Original Character" a character that a fan makes up for a franchise, so they are also called "Fan Characters." "Canon Characters" are characters that are official and exist in the actual manga; Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Killer B are all examples. "Canon" means what occurs in the actual manga; so it can refer to characters personalities, the sequence of events, and what exists in the manga.

Question: Okay I understand what a Sue is now, but what is the point of making a test on them?

Since Mary Sue's are uncreative and usually not well received, writers and roleplayers don't want to have one and want to avoid making them. People take Mary-Sue test because they want to improve a character they think might be a sue but want to check or they are making sure their character doesn't come close to ever becoming a sue. If you will be upset that your character might be called a sue or refuse to change it or argue if they are called a sue they you really shouldn't be taking sue test in the first place.

Question: How do I take this Test?

Answer: Read every question on the test. If statement is true for your character or the answer is "yes", add the amount of points to your score for that question. If your answer is "well kind of" or "technically" then add those points. Add your score up continuously and at the end read what the results tell you about your character and act accordingly. If It's a question with more than one part (signified by indentations) and you answer "yes" for two or more parts then add all of those points. That's pretty much the only guide line besides being honest with yourself. If you're not you won't know for sure if your character is a sue or not. Question: Can I leave feedback, critique, or ideas?

Answer: If you feel a particular question should or shouldn't be here, or disagree with the point system you are MORE than welcomed to leave feedback, and tell me why something should be changed. I will read and re-research all feedback.

DISCLAIMERS/OTHER:


 * This test does not apply to AU characters or Next Generation characters and is based on the Canon-Manga plot of Naruto.
 * Please note that every good character is bound to have some of these characteristics or have a couple of these things in there story/past. The problem is when too many of these things start happening to the same character.

DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE WITHOUT PERMISSION. I don't want anyone changing the questions because the test called them a sue. Unless your just fixing grammar/spelling ask permission. Also please do not post this test or any part of it on another site without linking back to this page and giving credit.

How realistic is the name and how does it effect characterization?

[ ] Clothing chosen because it makes your character look super sexy and/or badass?  [+1]

 * [ ] And they don't have the normal drawbacks of vampires or do they have/own something that prevents the drawbacks? (EX.

 * [ ] If they can go out into the sun, are they still abnormally pale? (Explanation: The only reason vampires are pale is because they must avoid the sun. Not because of "genetics."

If your character IS a Uchiha they shouldn't really be alive in the first place. Even if he could love your character [which he can't] he would not care about the love or be able to focus on thinking about her because revenge against his brother/Konoha is the most important thing even if she was a Uchiha. )

[+1]

[ ] At any point, does your character take over the job/position of a canon character? [+1]

 * [ ] Did this friendship make another canon character jealous of Sasuke?[+1]


 * [ ] Was it Naruto? [+1]

[ ] Or does your character Sasuke give up revenge on his brother or revenge on Konoha for your character? [+5]

[ ] If your character becomes a missing-nin do they not have a real reason for becoming one? (Feeling that their village betrayed them is a reason, a lust for greater power is a reason.

 * [ ] Is your character a female Akatsuki member?[+1] (I'm not picking on them simply because they're female. That's why this is only a one point question. It's because if you do research it clearly states Kishimoto wanted Konan to be the only Akatsuki member who was female.)

[ ] Does the character ever become a Kage or is ever offered the position of a kage? [+2]

Results
≥0 Points

Why are you taking this? You either intentionally made an anti sue or you haven't created a character yet.

1 -10 points:

The Anti-Sue. Your character is the very antithesis of a Mary-Sue. In this category your character can mean two things.1.) You need to add more positives to the character. OR. 2.) Your character already does have enough positives and you made her/him interesting and balanced in your own unique way.

It really depends on the writer but if you scored under five you may want to wiggle some more positives in there.

11-20 points: 

The Non-Sue. Your character is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue. Congratulations!

21-34 points:

Borderline-Sue. Your character is cutting it uncomfortably close, and you may want to work on the details a bit, and tweak some things but you're well on your way to having a lovely original character. At this point level your level can very well BE a Mary sue, depending on the writer. If you are on the lower side of this you might not be a borderline sue; it really depends on the writer. Tweak a little something here or there anyway.

35-55 points: 

'Mary-Sue / Gary-Stu. ' Your character needs some work in order to be believable. But despair not; you should still be able to salvage him/her with a little effort. Don't give up, just change up the most sueish details (for some characters it might the relationships, for others it might be the powers), then take the test again. There's still a chance you can save this character

 56-70 points: 

Über-Sue. You've got one hell of a Mary-Sue on your hands here, and it's not going to be easy to set things right. But do your best. There may be hope for you yet. The character might be redeemable if you work hard enough but I think it would best to let it die with some dignity and restart.

≥ 71 points:

Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep your character, but no. Just no. Immediate workover is in order.
