TWISTED WARRIORS

[ a reference of mary/gary sue/stu tests ]

For those of you who don't know, a Mary Sue [ female ] or Gary Stu [ male ] is an all-around perfect character. And they're extremely frowned upon in RPGs, stories and fanfictions alike. People. Don't. Like. Perfect. It's not relatable, and can make your readers feel like douchebags just because they're -gasp- not perfect, too. On other RP sites that I've made, a common test to determine Sue/Stu-age I've referenced was The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test. However, after looking over it again, I've realized that this particular test doesn't help specifically detect Sue-age in Warriors. So, after Googling, I've come up with a few poorly-spelled but helpful links.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A few of these tests consider "Moon" to be a Sue-worthy prefix. However, it is mentioned in the Naming Guidelines that name prefixes such as "Moon" or "Sun" are acceptable -- remember, Erin Hunter created a Moonflower AND a Sunstar.
