Click here to take the test. I didn't write this: it's just a random find from the Pokémon Fan Universe forums I visit: they didn't create it either =_= That said, I find it very useful in judging the plausibility of your characters. If you include Poké Rangers abilities, the rating may be a little high, but it's still a pretty decent test. That said, it's just a rough gauge: don't treat what it says too seriously. But it's still pretty good. Note: My character, Ash, before gaining his Poké Ranger abilities, had a score of 13 if you didn't include his name, and a score of 38 if you did ._. |

I did Jack from DW (me basically) and got 65...bear in mind tat's with Ranger powers so he has psychic powers and what not...but as he's not from the pokémon world I didn't put any trainer stuff, and i would be rediculous to put myself through as a normal person, I'd come up with squat...I'll try some of my mainstream characters later and report back... Kris pre-Black Ranger, post-pokémon league winner got a a 33, which means he's "Borderline Sue", but not actually a Sue:) Furthermore, Donny got -7, and Carl got -12...the test asked me why I even did it...to get an exact score of course! |

Please try not to double-post ^_^| It gets the threads spammy and all. If you're going to add something, please use the Edit function. That said, interesting results. I wonder what everyone else got? My character in DW got a 54... with powers and everything. I've already posted the abysmal-ness that is Ash Vortnes (in all three versions), so that's it for me =/ |

I've taken the test for my character in Sonora Rangers...and got a 68. In the beginning of Journeys, I got a 34. OUCH. I feel bad now. |

Very interesting...you got that as creator of the character, ie, what you intended him to be like upon submission, but as the writer of said character (though admittedly, you will later be writing him as well) got only 33 (and I even put ticks for things that haven't come up yet)... I'll be interested to know what you got for Jack from MMPR, as putting him through the test as I intended him upon writing I got 17...I'll be interested to know if this is just because I'm more leniant, or if this is because we both know ourown characters as they intended better because they were based on ourselves (well Jack was based on me, and judging by name I'd assume Eddie was based on you), or if we'd be kinder to the character we created ourselves...or whatever... |

Eddie has his name... so he'd get another 10. On a side note, he'd probably get a lower score than you on Jack, since he doesn't have his name... unless you didn't count that into your own scores to begin with. And... eh? 17 with all those cool special powers...? ... Then again, most special powers listed there are psychic in origin... |

Well I didn't do him morphed...was I supposed to do them morphed? Eddie would get even higher then... I counted the bearing my own name thing for both, since Eddie was obviously named after his creator... |

Might be the difference between morphed and unmorphed, I guess... although, like I said before: Most of the abilities there seem to be more psychic-oriented than anything. |

*cough*Anthony*cough* ... Who said that? Said what? He's talking to himself again... That's you, ya eejit! Um...sorry...got a bit off track there...by the way, Sentro, how'd you get a photo as your piccy? I thought we couldn't use photos? Or can we now? Eh...my piccy's close enough to a photo anyway... Editification: I've now tried to upload my own piccy, but nuthin' doing...it says on the site that it has to be a certain typ eof file, I've checked, it is one of them (just not sure which, it's got a J and a P...I think...), and I've even resaved as PNG, but it still doesn't work... Wait; should I go through something like photo bucket? Editification PI.0: YAY, it worked! Look at that handsome devil...no, it's not upside down! Talking to himself again... I heard that! You can even see my ktchen wall and clock in the background...qhat lucky devils you are...anyone here not a devil? I'm not a devil... Quiet you! |

Saa... I'm uploading different pictures of myself on different forums: I wore my white glasses (even though I can see perfectly well without them ._.) and a grubby white shirt, just to fit in with the Dimension Warriors thing. Done really quickly, but whatever  That said, I don't think that cough was called for. But then again, you can't do nuts if your throat hurts. Just... play nice, ne ^-^; ... I felt a sudden urge to cough as well, but whatever. |

Inspiration's just struck me, and I'm going to write another chapter of The Misadventures of Donny & Carl based on the concept of Mary Sue, named Raven Serenity Moonfire...I've put her into the calculator but her score wasn't that high...not THAT high...not really...only 295...
 EDIT: Meh, I've written it, but fanfiction's being crap, so I can't upload it...however I hope you'll all read it when I do...it has a VERY happy ending... EDIT 2: Whizz bang boom, it's up. and it includes the theme song you can see in my siggy. |
