<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 Oh dear. Do I really need to comment on this?
Hmm, there were a few points that overlap, but thats Labrn. Son of a tyrant king, of a race of psychic beings. A war of the sexes rose up. As the son of the king, he had training and was made "perfect" through ancient tech and ritual to make him an immortal weapon to maintain his father's control. The ritual was interrupted by a rogue squad of female psychers who changed that his immortality would come from the females the king hoped to fight and destroy. Labrn hid from the war, causing the women to win as the males resources were spent on him. Before the king was put to death, he cursed Labrn. "So you love them over your own brothers? Then 'LOVE' them to your end." Thus the male rule of oppression ended, but whatof Labrn? They could not kill or fully control him. He was peaceful and compliant, but the curse upon his libido grew with the years. Tales of nightly visits and wild attacks unprovoked led to his banishment. However, he would still be found and called upon to defend the kingdom. Til 'the end' was engineered by his sister, Mystic. Then it was just Labrn and Mystic. His memory was blocked to keep him from breaking down, but he recalls bits when losing control. Now he travels on a whim with his sister. Her life forced tethered to his by a ritual, and him immortal as long as she lived.

FA+

There's a bit more than those ones when it comes to being a mary sue.
interesting information here from the meme though. I'd consider doing this but I don't think I'd have very many points.
7, huh? Did you come down due to negatives or not much in the way of super powers and such?
But, if you avoid Mart Sues, how is Labrn on the right side with so many points?
The new Leon is the one with the stripe along his mane, the old Leon has none and his mate was a kitty
He can be beaten and fun enough, Leon has not beaten Minari (my cowgirl) in battle. Leony might have a chance tough...
*shrugs* It comes down to is your character a person or super hero. There is a good chance, if they have nothing super natural, they'll be under 10.
