Is your character a Mary Sue?

[pinkycrystal]

Okay I know that originally, the Mary Sue Alert thread was supposed to be for this purpose, but because now we just use it to rant discuss any badfics we find, that thread is no longer used for this purpose.

I'm sure as fellow roleplayers, everyone hates a Mary Sue(or Gary Stu). I mean, they're annoyingly perfect, unrealistic, so pretty that even Barbie is jealous...

The purpose of this thread is to post a draft of your roleplay character before entering it so other roleplayers can give constructive feedback.

Yes, you can use this test:

But sometimes it's not accurate and the points system says it's more of a warning than completely accurate. And because some of the questions don't even apply to the rules the original roleplay creator may have established, the test is again, not 100% accurate.

Please note that not everyone is an experienced roleplayer so don't be too harsh if somebody's draft of their character is a Sue/Stu. Unless it's so ridiculous the poster seems to be trolling, that is...

Hey what do you think of this name to names
Kestrel Rubywing
Denitia Tealeaf
Amazona Africrain
I like them I'm planning on using them in some roleplays

[pinkycrystal]

I'm sorry, but it seems really obvious the surnames are just combinations of nouns.

By the way, you may also want to think about what role play you use those for.

Does anyone like the name Giselle? Or the name Ivory? I was thinking of using them...well maybe not Ivory since I read this HP fanfic that ruined everything for mw

[pinkycrystal]

I like the name Giselle but Ivory seems more like an adjective than a name. Oh and what fanfic are you talking about?

[Evelyn]

Favourite name out of these: Penelope (Penny), Persephone (Sephy), Valentina, Lilith or Myla?

[pinkycrystal]

For what though? I like the name Penelope if it's for a normal human with or without powers. Persephone is obviously the name of a character in Greek Mythology. Valentine is a bit...too sweet. Okay for a character with a sweet personality but knowing your characters.... Lilith is alright but the syllables don't flow as nicely. Myla is again, alright but rather uncommon.

[Deleted]

Out of those I like Valentina and Myla. Though I think Penelope is okay too.
Do you like the names Asha and Allaria?

[Evelyn]

Yes, normal human. It's just for a random piece of writing I'm planning. Alright, which one do you like here:
Lysander, Felix, Michel, Dennis or Raymond?
And for an antagonist, do you like the name Alva?

[pinkycrystal]

I like the names Lysander and Felix.

Alva is not a bad name for an antagonist.

[Deleted]

I like the name Lysander...sounds like a good one for fantasy but I like Michel and Raymond for normal day ones.

[Evelyn]

Alva literally means 'evil', which I found out after creating the name...it was actually rather surprising. But that sort of made me want to use it more.

[pinkycrystal]

You could add another name particle to Alva like making it Alvara or something.

[Evelyn]

That could work, I suppose. Hey, do you think that harnessing the power of the elements one at a time is a cliche/boring sort of idea? Because I had this crazy-ish idea involving something like that, what do you think? By the way, I tested my character for that and the highest I could get was 12, and that was with some boxes that would probably have been better off left unchecked.
