Having developed Loil since I joined Nyx, ((He went from, "Well, he's evil...and insane.... to He's Insane, cruel, sadistic, devoted to Yogg Saggon, blind, and just a general jerk.)) I redid this test along with my redone backstory, and received a "10." Yay!

For a new RP'er, I feel somewhat proud of myself. nnTash got a 0 on this.nnnnnSomewhere, deep down inside, I feel a few deeply conflicting emotions. On one hand, I'm excited that I scored so low, for someone just now beginning to immerse myself in RP. On another, I'm terrified that there is some deep, dark, unknowable enigma unto which all depends and around which all revolves, to which I am completely oblivious. (Oh, wheelbarrow! Would that I understood?) nnOn a more objective note, I do feel like that list is horribly biased against elves and death knights. Fortunately, I associate myself closely with neither.nn*shifty eyes*

Indeed, take the Mary Sue test with a pinch of salt. There will always be people who find themselves in that frame of mind where nothing will do until they tear someone else's happiness to shreds like a cat in a paper sack. nnEveryone who RP's is 'guilty' of a little Mary Sue'ing. After all, who wants to play themselves in a fantasy setting where you can be so much more powerful and beautiful?nnIf these folks had their way, we would all RP as farmers with nothing whatsoever extraordinary about our characters.nnSo long as you avoid making yourself more powerful than everyone else, or so beautiful that everyone instantly falls in love with you, and avoid the dreaded ERP, you should be fine.

Got a 5 on Imri. I was afraid it was going to be much higher, since he is a dragon. (but his dragon form is extremely weak/useless because he was born at Grim Batol with malformed wings/legs, hence why he stays in elf guise 24/7). He's supposed to be pretty unremarkable anyway, and he never flaunts his dragon status anyway. He comes across as your run of the mill priest.nnWarfeather was a 2. Not a surprise there, she's just a backwater tauren warrior.
