Okay, going to do it for Drake....the Dalmatian, not my OC of course 1. Is your character’s name... A. No B. Yes C. No D. No E. No. 1A@ Didn't you use to say Drakes full name was "Drake Van Helsing" So you based your name off someone else. That is 1 more point. 7@ Doesn;t coming back from the dead count? I mean he was dead for a long time, enough time for his former girlfriend cloned from Two-Tone & Cadpig to get his DNA and clone him to create Kraven who later grave robbed Drake of his tooth. So he can't have faked it. He came back from the dead. 20@ No, but he can save the world from nuclear attacks from an evil computer virus by simply pulling the plug out the computer. 27@ He's got a friend who can 4@ My experiance, that;s usually a no. 7@ That's a No too So i added it together and he seems to gotten 10-12 Like Nemo said, he is a bit mary sueish at some points. If you take away somethings like his Van Helsing name and give him actual weaknesses (e.g. So he can actually lose in a fight) and fears (everyone has a phobia of something) and he may be better. That's Drake done, now let's see your other characters, Like Phantom, Frenzy, Stark, T-5.O, Amelia. ETC.

UPDATE!
If you're not sure whether or not to answer a question with yes or no, it's best to just put yes!
And dragonologystudent, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get half points. You either say yes or no, there's no inbetween... so really Arthur would have 2 points and Sylvia 4.

@bab: Uh, he never did come back from the dead, he had faked it. But, it really doesn't bother me in the end, especially since my OC Drake, completely different from this Drake....is better to me, even though he does have some....er....powers and all....the true Drake

Drake@ But he had to be faking from quite a while. Long emough for Star to get his DNA and long enough for Kraven to pull his tooth out his grave. Have you tried pretending to be dead as someone pulls your tooth out? It is hard not to scream. I don't think anyone can fake being dead even under thoose condition. Besides why fake his death in the first place? Those plot twists in a story never go down good as they are back 2 minutes later. That's all i'm saying Now back to the litmus test, i may do Doc & Kendra soon

Okay, since people have been continuously bugging me to due this Mary Sue test, I'll give it a try. Now, just to let you know, I don't feel like tallying up the points, so if it's not too much to ask, I'd like Nemo to do it for me. For now, I'm going to do one for Belchic and Noggin, but I'm afraid that I'm going to wind up redoing my characters, which I really don't want to do.
So anyway, here goes:

16. Yes
17. Was a parent of your character killed? A. No B. No
18. Does your character have a crush on any of the characters in the show? A. No B. His girlfriend is another OC, so No
19. Does the character carry around a weapon with them all the time? A. No
20. No
21. No
22. No
23. Can your character sing so well that it gets the attention of others? A. No B. Yes
24. Does your character have an evil clone? A. No B. No
25. If not an evil clone, is your character haunted by an evil spirit? A. No
26. No
27. No
28. No
Total so far: ?
Point Reducers
1. Does your character have some kind of disorder (mentally disabled, retarded, etc)? A. No
2. If Rolly's overweight, than I guess Belchic would be, so Yes

1. Is your character’s name... A. No B. No C. No D. No E. No

Okay, that does it for Belchic and Noggin. So, how did I do, Nemo? I'll probably do some on other characters later.
By the way, are these questions you came up with based on details you read on other people's characters? A lot of them sound familiar.

I think for Noggin Q21 i think his formula which makes him talk Human English counts too. So that is one more point
For Noggin, He is about 9-12. Danger Zone, he does need a bit of rethinking, i won't say much now but what i think of Noggin will be revealed in my Review to "It Ends Now"
For Belchic i think 3ish.
And if you think these ideas for questions sound familar, Nemo once told me that some questions were based off some things Gary said in my "Gary Stu Alert" picture.

I guess by the sounds of it, Noggin's more of a Gary Stu than Belchic is, but Belchic sounds like a pretty well-put-together character. Am I right? Also, you gotta remember, I didn't create Noggin; my brother did. He was 10 at the time, so cut him some slack.

Uh Belchic... you're supposed to add up your scores yourself -w-;

Post by Belchic on May 1, 2009 15:28:43 GMT -5
Well, how is the scoring supposed to work? Do I like subtract a point for every Yes answer and add one for every No answer? Or do I do nothing for every No answer? Do the categories differ in point amounts? How is it supposed to work?

Do the categories differ in point amounts? How is it supposed to work? Aye aye aye... Ok, here's how it works. You know the part of the quiz where you answered over 20 questions. You add up a point for every YES answer. However, when you answer questions in the 'point reducer' section, you subtract points for when you answer yes. Then after subtracting you get your grand total. You understand?

That does make sense, but a lot of the questions have multiple fields. Do I just count every "yes" I see as one "yes", or do I combine the majority and make it out to either a "yes" or "no". Stuff like this requires some intense thinking and understanding for me. This is something I need to do so I fully understand. I used to get bad grades in school because I didn't do it that way.

Yes you count every single yes.
