Oh wow this is absolutely amazing :D (you won't mind if I copy down your profile scaffold will you? It's only for personal use) and this was both entertaining and informative to read. I absolutely loved your tone- that got a few giggles out of me and to summarise, I just really liked it!

WAIT... I'M CONFUSED

I redid the one for my character, the InfinitePetals one where I asked about the restriction and insteadof 2 I got -4. Wow...

Petals

The funny thing is, my character actually has an epic specialization. But, he still got -4. His specialization? Info! And endurance. He's very clumsy, doesn't have a special talent like drawing, writing, cooking, sing, and dancing, since his nen's restrictions are to have absolutely no talent in any special talent. He's an unassuming guy who burned down his own house once when he was young. He's interested in anime/cartoons, but the sad thing is, he can't draw. LOL

Thank you for pointing out the dialogue format because there have been countless times where i've read stories where i don't even know who is talking because they have the dialogue of five people in one whole sentence ! Hopefully a lot more authors will see this and learn from it .

You forgot twin sues, like Harriet Potter.

That question was chappy 3, sorry.

And I got 2. My gash.
4/1/2013 c1 InfinitePetals
(To answer me, go to my profile. My profile's name is still InfinitePetals.)

What if the restriction is like this?:

He loses the ability to cook, sing, dance, and everything except for his nen, intelligence and endurance.

Does that count as three restrictions?

By the way, love this guide.

Luv the test! Even though I don't know what HunterXHunter is, I still enjoyed it. I don't think that the 'kind' or 'unwilling to kill' is a super Sue-ish trait. It certainly CAN be, but it can also be necessary (esp. if the character needs to change) You do the 'innocent-ish' (ISH) really well in Fallacy, and it's needed if Envy will ever change a bit...
I hate the 'falling in love when we see each other's eyes' thing in fanfiction. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS ENVY FROM ANY INCARNATION OF FMA!
We need to spread this test to a couple people. I'll die if I see too many more of:

"I can't kill you, Envy! Your eyes are too innocent and I love you!"
"I love you too, Alexandria May Raven Trinity, even if I'm 400 (or 160) years your senior, a psychopathic murderer that killed Hughes, and we only met 2 days ago!"

P.S.: If you come on this website and update "Fallacy" I will be SOOOO happy

P.P.S: "The Character is related to the canon character by blood" should have a 10 or something. It's waaaaaaay too common.

Thank you for this. I have a tendency to make characters very Sue-ish in my head, until I actually write them down. But I do slip up sometimes, and this was very helpful, not to mention entertaining.

I've seen these around before, and I like this one because of it's specificness (not a word?) to Hunter X Hunter. I always do these kinds of tests when I make an OC or any character for that matter. More times than not, I get the "Borderline Sue". I've never gotten anything below it or above it so...I apparently tend to stick around that area. Thanks so much for all of the information on Mary Sue's. There's nothing I can't stand more than Mary Sues (especially when I find out I made one!).
