That "Opportunistic ancestors" needs to be worded better.

Absolutely retarded test, a shitton of good characters will be classified as Mary Sues, and I believe some genuine Sues will pass.

Dave Strider slays the test like it's nothing. Just one point for the red eyes, and they're shown for like two panels in the entire comic. Once again Homestuck proves its superiority to all forms of last-century pseudo-entertainment bullshit you fucks pass as comics.

Dumb test, especially since "Mary Sue" is a term that's supposed to be about bad fanfic and most of the squares wouldn't even fit that
Fav character:
MCU either 0 or 1
Comics either 1 or 2 until Life mini then definite 2

You don't become an orphan if your parents die as an adult you dumbo. Otherwise everyone's grandparents would be orphans.

Fuck this chart and the faggot that made it. "Mary Sue" is a useless, strawman insult used to describe characters you don't like.

Nah, bisexuals have always been attention seeking faggots who want to seem more special. I'd say that's actually the most fitting thing on that list.

The problem with this test is that it's not relative to the story at large.

Like, take the eye colour thing. My character exists in a world where many people (arguably, the majority) have more animal-esque eyes (entirely black, slitted, goat-like). So she has weird lizard eyes and hair that are strange in our world, but totally normal in hers.

>heterochromia
Nope.

Nope.
>scar
Nope.
>Orphan
Well, his parents died when he was a grown ass man, so I'll say nope.
>rich family
Yeah. At the start he wasn't Wayne-Tier, but still rich.
>halfbreed
Nope.
>villain killed [...]
Nope.
>Chosen One
Nope.
>Opportunistic Ancestors
Nope.
>Genius
Yup.
>Mastered Skill
Eh. At the start he was shown as a talented engineer, but amassed more and more ridiculous feats. Nothing on par with Pym or Richards though. Mark that down as you will.
>Casanova
Well, the guy's gotten cucked like 3 times and he couldn't even get it up in a few instances. But sure, mark it down as a Yes since it is a defining characteristic.

I honestly don't think he's a Gary Stu.

he went from two parents to two parents. Never had the actual orphan experience like Batman

Maybe this if a father counts as an ancestor

this one only applies to half breeds so nope

This one pisses me off the most. Why is this trope so popular? It automatically kills all dramatic tension if the protagonist is meant to succeed *even* in-universe. This is not fun and yet it's so common, how is this possible

You don't age out of a sexuality, you either have one male partner or a female partner. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

This isn't a Mary-Sue test, it's an, "is your character an overused cliche" test. I thought Mary-Sue was a term meant to define a character that is consistently surrounded by plot armour and is basically infalliable/unbeatable, save for arbitrary flaws like "being clumsy" or some other harmless shit like that. They add no interest to the series they are a part of because they add no conflict, never experience true struggle, and learn nothing.
