Ooh! Dante! Dante from Devil May Cry! He's DEFINITELY a Gary Stu! XD

I'd probably have less of a Sue with one of my 'normal' non-super powered characters...

Cassy: *giggles* I got a sixteen! *holds two fingers up in a playful 'peace' sign*

AHA!! I DO have one! Congratulations on your 16, Cas!

Cassy: *cheerfully but with hateful undertones* Eat me out and die. ~<3

It's not really so much about balance, but how abundant/lacking in cliché your character/s is/are, and also how much the character represents who you are or would like to be.

If your character is unnaturally powerful, notable, skilled, unusual, magnetic, charismatic, or remarkable in multiple ways, then expect a high score. It's not a bad thing to score high; it's just an indication that some aspects of your characters could afford to be pared down to be palatable for more people if you were to write about them.

Exactly, thank you!

And I don't consider MC a character. He doesn't show any in the game!

Yeah. I said that. Most are. That's the point.

Gutted, Daisy only scored 11. It sucks to be so unique and original. Helps that she has no special powers, is completely useless, and will never save the world.

all i ever wanted was the world.

Yeah. Characters like that don't score very high. Not at all.

Then again, Annie has super strength and something close to indestructibility and still managed to score a mere 8.

Edit: tried again. This time 147. XP
