    Not sure if it has been posted yet - I did a search and came up with altogether too many posts about Mary Sues.

    If you don't know it, please take the time and be honest - a large portion of the server population could benefit from this in no small way. : )

    Have fun!

    Image may seem insulting, but the test seems genuine. I encourage people to let down their defenses for a moment and indulge themselves just for fun.

    EDIT: I think RPG is technically the most accurate test type pertaining to Antares.
    EDIT #2: I scored a 22 for my kobold character, Kazyyk, from my Neverwinter Nights days in like... 2006.

    Maybe to the people behind the charitable organisation I shamelessly stole it from for laughs - I doubt "anyone here" is insulted by the picture of a snowflake and 'celebrating uniqueness'. *conspiratory wink*
    If so, please speak up and I'll take it down and replace it with something more soothing.

    So many litmus tests exist for this...

    Ah, I just meant people could take it as a jab at their own characters. I encourage folks to be less easily offended.

    Gareth got a 20, which I can kinda see. Suppose I can only improve...I hope

    Edit: I decided the mess around a little and see what worst score is. It's 844.

    wasn't anything that fit that I could put down
    mainly because I couldn't put anything relatively close to that my character is supported by life support inside of a suit that has to be constantly maintained, and without it he's a horribly disfigured human weighing at only 98 pounds
    even then, he's susceptible to dying just like everyone else and is no way shape or form un-killable, and is pretty much the antithesis of being perfect
