The World of Warcraft Mary-Sue Litmus Test!nnWelcome to the World of Warcraft Mary-Sue Litmus Test. It's like the regular 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.nnRemember, 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.

nn nYour score is:nnNegatives - 0 - The Anti-Sue - You've probably gone out of your way to de-Sue your characters.

Your character is likely original and well-balanced.nn11 - 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.nn21 - 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!nn31 - 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.nn41+ - The Iredeemable-Sue - Have you considered a PvE server?

[Aitana]

Aitana scored a 4.nnJemmali scored a 6.nnNot sure if that's because my characters are actually original or just underdeveloped.

[Gorehorn]

Gorehorn score : 1nnGohjira score : 1nnLaurelbeard score : 0nnApparently I am Sue-less..

[Jinjag]

I scored a 2.nnJinjag is pretty unique I guess, but in fact, I think it's his complete and utter apathy for anything other than himself that makes him score that low.nnThe points came from "practicing cannibalism without remorse" and having "a name you really really like".nnHe's just a voodoo flingin' troll. That is all

[Partedhair]

Partedhair - 7 nSome water fetcher from Stonetalon Mountains. nnPartedhump - 3 nA young tauren hunter of the masses.nnGyrojojo - 4 nA wise shaman alt. But not "I know all things" wise. The mentor of Partedhair and Sagewinnd. Gyro scores a low 4 because of unexaplined or undocumented origins. nnPawachehair - 0 nThis alt scores a 0 since I've not much taken off with the character other than him being the father of Partedhair and that this one only speaks Taurahe and few words in Orcish.nnDepartedhair - 38 nDeparted the deathknight is/was a mega-Sue due to a small RP story I had going which lasted 4 months and ended swiftly and quick once Gyrojojo had gone away to Camp Tunka'lo. In the end, the story was undocumented on the site and only a select few know of my DK's existence and the conflicts that arose when I started appearing in random places wielding an unstoppable orb around my neck. Stories like that get boring, lose interest and anger people and thus I was guilty for it. This alt is now a bank alt.nnSagewind - 0 nA lvl 6 shaman not in the guild and not the main focus. n

[Filarius]

Filarius got a 10 so he's a non-sue. His points came mainly from being not quite what he appears to be and the disguise he keeps.

[Warburn]

Warburn scored a 6, however to be honest the test is so long, I skimmed it.nnBut omg I wonder what Leothiel would score.

[Tomoyo]

Tomoyo would have been a 19. Ouch. Far too high. But then, being biased against emo characters practically makes it biased against Warlocks by default. ;

[Stodesgier]

18, because of Stodesgier's vain nature and his relationship with vilora lol

[Desias Stormfalcon]

...............................I'm just not going to say anything. Most of those questions just happen to apply to my characters >.<
