I decided to try one of the tests that
tried, with my OC, Protheus Maximus. Note that, uh, sooner or later I'll get some awesome art up on here. When my scanner and tablet are fixed. Until then. . . . .
(Note: Text in "" is Protheus's.)

< 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
