<5 -Anti-Sue 
Your character may be a bit on the boring side. No reason a character scoring this low can't be a a fascinating and exciting character, but generally if they are scoring this low, it wouldn't hurt to 'spice them up' a bit.


6-15 -Balanced Character (Diana is in this category)
If your OC scored around here, then they are probably quite a well-balanced and interesting character. Those scoring in the higher end of this category may be a bit too much though.

16-25 -Borderline Mary-Sue
You probably need to tone your character down; characters that score this high tend to annoy people.

26> -Mary-Sue 

This is not a definitive test: with all the variety of people there are, a character could very well score a 26  on this and not a Mary-Sue; but these are all things that Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus tend to have in common, so if your character scores high on this test, it is likely(not definite, but likely) that said character is a Mary Sue/Gary Stu


This was really fun, I suggest you guys try this test out for you OCs.

Dammit, SuperSaiyanCrash, you art is giving me ideas!

Road to Pirate: A One Piece Twist on Road to Ninja, a Naruto Shippuden movie

Story: After a fight with a pirate crew, Robin has been knocked into a deep coma. But what the others don't know is that the guy who knocked her out used a devil fruit.

That brings her to a illusion world that's wacked up!

In this world, Robin's mother and giant friend never died, along with Ohara, being that the residents were respected marines. So now, Robin is one herself, with the rest of the crew too and marines now practically rule the seas!

Robin doesn't know what to do, but when the guy who sent her here appears with a more powerful and pirate CP9, she has to make a choice: her family... Or her dream.

Other world cast:

Luffy: Met Akainu instead of Shanks, which convinced him to become a marine instead, with a marine cap in place of the straw hat. He's a lot more serious than his other counterpart, and now a golden boy.

Zoro: Kuina never died and is an officer with him. They bicker a lot, but are training under Mihawk to one day beat him. Zoro is a lot more peppy, but still has a lost sense of direction.

Usopp: Bachina never died and Yasopp was a member of the marines. Usopp is now very brave and not a liar, but can be impulsive.

Nami: Never lost Bellemare and grew up following her mothrer's footsteps. Is now actually very generous, but still short tempered.

Sanji: Zeff was a former marine chef. Is still a lady wanter, but gets along with Zoro.

Chopper: Dr. Hirluk was a respected marine who never passed away. Still retains personality, but now takes compliments the right way.

Franky: Never lost Tom, who is now a legendary marine, and is still human with instead a robotic suit. Still says super, but flirts with Robin a lot.

Brook: Was part of a marine crew in his younger days. He plays a marine song instead, and is now a serious guy instead of a pervert.

Saga 1: Landing

Saga 2: Ninja

Saga 3: Pirate

Saga 4: War

Secret Freedom: Now part of the Secret Freedom Fighters, Silver tries to work with his new group to save the Kingdom from the wizard's clutches.

Hedgehog in Love: On a mission with Sonic, they soon meet up with Blaze, who is getting closer to finding all of the Sol Emeralds, and right now being followed by. Eggman Nega. However, Silver can't help but feel he met her somewhere before...

A Rose with Thorns: When the Nocturnus team up with Finitevius, rebel Shade joins up with the Chaotix to stop him. Meanwhile, Amy might be learning to finally get over Sonic...

Crisis from the Underground: When Underground Mammoth Mogul takes over, Sonic goes to the Underground Zone to stop him.

Curse of the Black Arms: The Black Arms have finally arrived, leaving all Freedom Fighters along with G.U.N. to team up together to hold back the army while the others try to grab the other Chaos Emeralds. Meanwhile, Shadow tries to face his own past when Black Doom shows him a hedgehog girl who looks like Maria, who want him to join the Black Arms!

Sides of a Coin: An injured Fiona suddenly appears asking for help in Freedom Fighters HQ, saying that Scourge has finally lost it. Stuck with Team Babylon and Hooligan (plus Nic) as backup, Sonic may have trouble as he deals with the uncertainty of Fiona being good!

Never Apart: Memories of the mysterious Solaris resurfacing, Mephiles the Dark returning, and our hedgehog trio finally realizing they've grown close. Need I say more?
