The World of Warcraft Mary-Sue Litmus Test

Welcome to the World of Warcraft Mary-Sue Litmus Test. It's like other Mary-Sue Litmus tests, but with some segments and questions especially for WoW RP. Just go through the sections and then scroll down to the bottom to see your score and results. There are questions here specific to your race/class, and because of this, the test is not as long as it seems. Only answer the questions for the race/class that apply to you to get your proper results.

Remember, everything here is a symptom, not the disease. Some characters that score high won't really be Mary Sues, and some that score low may be the Sue-iest Sues to ever leave Suesville. I can't say how likely that is, but hey, there's always hope? Either way, this is mostly just for fun, so please don't take the test too seriously.

Don't know what a Mary-Sue is? Check out the wikipedia article.

Fin! Scroll down for your score!

Or...

 

Your score is:

Negatives - 0 - The Anti-Sue - You've probably gone out of your way to de-Sue your characters. Someone likes to go against the grain... why are you here, again?

1 - 10 - The Non-Sue - You've dodged all the annoying cliches and made it to the coveted rank of Non-Sue. Congratulations! Your character is likely original and well-balanced.

11 - 20 - The Borderline Sue - You're doing pretty well, but it might be advantageous to go back and check some things. If you don't mind cliches and think you can pull off the character, more power to you.

21 - 30 - The Mary-Sue - Whoops. Your character seems to need a little work. Your character is likely a bit unbelievable and maybe even annoying, but he or she is certainly not beyond repair. Don't give up!

31 - 40 - The Uber-Sue - Apparently, you weren't watching for cliches when you made your character. You've got a lot of work to do to make your character a little more realistic and a little less... well. Annoying. Do your best, though, and maybe your character will still be salvagable.

41+ - The Iredeemable-Sue - Have you considered a PvE server?
