User blog:Famotill/Mary-Sue/Marty-Stu test

I've decided to make this test for people looking for guidelines. Now I know my characters are the most original, but I think some of them are pretty good. So this can help people make new intresting characters(not that anyone has bad characters). It can also be fun to test your character. Remember be honest because in the end your only hurting yourself and your fancharacter.
