I took the Mary Sue test for Ilaria too:

Spoiler


I need to tone down the past trauma bullshtick it seems. :P

Out of curiosity, did anyone do this quiz with just their character in mind, or as the Inquisitor also? I did mine as the latter and I think it affects the scores a great deal, the Inquisitor definitely is Mary Sue-ish. x)

 

Edit because layout and I can't grammar.

 

I did it for my character as the Inquisitor and that pushed up my score a lot (the Beware the Monks of Cool, Yo! score shoots up when you have to factor in that she's carrying a weapon nearly all the time, wearing a lot of leather and all the mage outfits are a variation on a trenchcoat.  There should be an option to say if this is usual for the setting)
 

(your Inky's name makes me do a double take whenever I see it)

Yep, I think that's what pushed mine in that section so high too, but aside from mentioning the Dalish being subclass, the rest is my headcanon for her. x) My girl with her dramatic history.

 

Oh, haha! I've only just noticed the similarity. xD I think I like yours more though. :>

This is especially hilarious after reading some fanfics with particular content about Solas/Lavellan "parties" in the fade.  ;)

 

Eh, if the space is there is should be used for something productive...

 

Yeah, I'm doing just that...

Now I've built up this whole thing where Dirthamin recruited Felassan (a Fen'Harel fanboy easily lured with the idea of sneaky undercover work) with an eye to using Briala.  The city elves wouldn't trust a strange, tattooed elf but he could teach her to fight, teach her spy craft (all those stashes!), and help her foment unrest under the guise of encouraging her to help those in the Alienages.  I'm itching to put her on the throne (at least as Gaspard's puppet master) because I want wicked ol' Dirthy to come out of the shadows with a Faustian bargain.

 

On-topic, I have a hard time picturing Solas as sneaky or tricky.  He's obviously good at keeping secrets but whatever tricks he tries to pull seem to have backfired pretty thoroughly on him as far as Inquisition goes.  Perhaps it's the weakness of his long sleep that has him off his game?

 

Or perhaps he's not much of a trickster in the first place, just a rather smooth operator whose enemies have sought to tarnish him with that description?

 

Just a thought.

It could come from his preference to avoid open confrontation and violence.

MS test results for one of my female characters:

name is nothing like you. She isn't really very cool: she blends into crowds, she hangs out on the fringes at parties, and wearing shades after dark makes her run into things. There's never been anything special about her that she could see; boy, is she in for a surprise. She's come in for her share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage. And she's gotten no slack from you.

In general, you care deeply about name, but you're smart enough to let her stand on her own, without burdening her with your personal fantasies or propping her up with idealization and over-dramatization. name is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of her.

 

 

I mean, I really wouldn't dream of making a character much like me because... I'm boring...

Indeed. They haven't called him a coward (or a "surrender monkey"), I wonder why? But "trickster, crafty, gabby" that's the sort of flak clever people get...

 I've made a fan video with a song that, I don't know, it fits almost perfect Solas/Lavellan romance. The video is not that great because was made on the rush, but the song...*sighs*...love it  <3

Yup, the passphrase could have been "Fen'Harel is a breakfast burrito". Missed opportunity, Briala.

 

What if, what if it is? "And all the elven dictionaries in the land had to be changed, because of one elf's poor grasp of the language..." And Felassan never got to laugh about it.

You clearly think too much. ;)

The whole test is kitchen psychology at its best. Like it said for mine "Siha is not a character, Siha is you. (blahblahblah) Take care not to get too close to her. Maybe she's you as you wish you were, or maybe you're just afraid no one will like her and are trying to give her a free ride. Have some confidence in your writing! Siha is a good character. Give her room to be herself before you stifle her."

 

The last bit seems to be the same for everybody. And in my case it even does not fit the first bit. In general, it bases the assumption how similar your character is to you on a few questions at the beginning (all basically "is she like you?") and the assumption that you, in real life, are not too special.

 

And it's a horoscope level; "maybe she's as you wish you were, or maybe you're just afraid no one will like her" (the two ideas are not even logically connected in any way, but the sentence still implies a controversy by putting "or") is hardly better than "tomorrow it might rain or it might not", "maybe you will meet a stranger who will say something to you", or "eventually everything might turn out right if you take the appropriate actions now or in the future". 

 

This test should have considered a lot of things to be useful. The best it can do for you is to give you a list of things a Mary Sue should be, so you can try to incorporate (or avoid) as many of them as possible. ;)

 

 

Edit:

 

Billy is only a little like you. He may be popular, or he may not, but no matter what he's impossible to ignore; he stands out... just the way you always wanted to. He may have sometimes thought that he was special, or destined for greater things, but probably dismissed the idea as a fantasy. He's had more than his fair share of hard knocks, and probably spends more time than he ought moaning about it. And you've been pretty kind to him, always ready to intercede on his behalf and give him a nice easy victory.   You may have let yourself get a little too close to Billy. Maybe he's you as you wish you were, or maybe you're just afraid no one will like him and are trying to give him a free ride. Have some confidence in your writing! Billy is a good character. Give him room to be himself before you stifle him.

 

Ehehehehe... Example B.

That's how I tend to treat Mary Sue tests anyway.  They're handy, and can give good guidelines but a lot of things can throw off an accurate score and they can't account for everything in every setting and every fandom.  Tropes aren't bad - it's all in how you write the character that matters.
