Take points off your OCs overall score if they fit any of the following statements:

[x] They smoke
[x] They are an alcoholic 
[ ] They are overweight
[ ] They are addicted to drugs
[x] They have a short temper
[x] They enjoy bullying others 
[x] They do not care much about others 
[ ] They are emotionless

Score now:
9

5 -Anti-Sue
Your character may be a bit on the boring side. Of course, this does depend, but generally if they are scoring that low, it wouldn't hurt to 'spice them up' a bit ^^

6-15 -Balanced Character
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
We have a problem. You need to tone your character down. They are most likely a bit annoying to others, too.

26+ -Mary-Sue



HELL YEAH MAN CAIN'S BALANCED
