This is an adaption of Lauren Flame-Eyes' "Sue-O-Metre."
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then add the number in brackets to your total.
Is your character a dibbun?
Has your character been on an impossible quest? (+1 (+2 if your character is a dibbun))
Is your character an orphan? (+1)
Is your character seeking revenge (+1 (+ 2 if your character is an orphan))
Do you have an alt that your character always argues with? (+1)
Is your character an identical twin/multiple? (+1)
Does your character have unusual fur colour or markings? (+1)
Have you ever joined a quest half-way through and asked "What did I miss?" (+ 2)
If you have a score under 3, then you're doing okay and your character is not stu-ish/sue-ish. If you have a mark of anything over 3, then send me, Tinsy or Stoakly a PM.

I did it on here and DAB. Got the same results! 0 Oh, and if you're over 3, do not be afraid to ask for help. When I first joined the ROC, I was a big sue and I hated asking for advice. But then I realized thats what makes you better! So, if you really want to be a good RPer, you should ask for advice. Believe me, I was the worst RPer ever when I joined the ROC. Just a tip.

I sorta got a one, because Regen does have a cousin that he argues with, but that's because they hate eachother's guts. Besides, the cousin isn't really an alt, as I only write him, not rp.

I think you're alright, Tinsy. The "hating each other's guts" isn't as sueish as the "petty argument between identical twin characters." Because that is sueish.

How so? Twins are often compared to eachother, which can lead to arguements over "I am the better twin" - that is a petty arguement that happens a lot not only with characters, but real people, particularly if the twins are identical, because they are pressured to stand-out from their counter-part. And some people are mean and go, "I like your twin better" - that wouldn't make a twin feel nice, would it? Which evokes jealousy, and jealousy often starts fights.
But seeing as I'm not a twin, I could be entirely wrong. ^^
Dante and Nefari get a 1 for being twins; they look pretty identical, and I think you can have so much fun confusing people with something like that~!!! ♥
However, when they were younger, they hated eachothers guts, because they were jealous and their mother constantly compared them to eachother, particularly Nefertari to Dante, but when they admitted their jealousy, they got along much better, and are now incredibly over-protective. ^^ So, does that count, for like the first few years of their life?

Ah, but you see, Nef' (can I call you Nef', because I never remember names), your characters are probably not constantly doing things like this, which happens loads on The Valley of Noonvale:
Character 1: We're late and it's all your fault. Character 2: Is not. You always blame me. Character 1: I'm always right though. Character 2: That's not fair. Character 1: *Goes all huffy and irritable, continues quest in the same pantomine-arguing style.*

Ah, yes that seems to be a problem with some people I've seen over the months I've been RPing. My character, if anyone is wondering, currently comes up to a 1 on that particular scale.

Unfortunately, while it is possible to roleplay those scenarios well, they have become overworked, impossible, and attention-grabbing ploys. I have to agree with Terri that you try to avoid them as much as possible. ^_^
And in case anybody is wondering, Geordie's a 0 as well.

Terragon is 1/2, as she and Robin are twins, but not identical twins and have different personalities. Ashnel is probably 1, as he's got dark fur.

One for being an orphan. If your parents died in an island, does that make you an orphan?

If your parents are dead at all, it makes you an orphan. ...I know this is rude, but I have to say it. Please don't take it too hard. DUH!

Though if your parents die when you're an adult, you generally aren't considered an orphan because you're no longer dependent upon them.
However, if you're of an age where you would be dependent upon your parents and your parents are both dead, that makes you an orphan.

OOC: Two. You are, admittedly, forewarned. I said characters under fourteen years weren't recommended.

I did this for when my charecters are here in Terralux and are around 16.
Ammy got a one because she almost always finds something to argue about with Moonstreak.Well, it's not completly aguing.It's more like debating. Moonstreak got a two because of what I said above and also because of his white streak that is why he is named what he is named. Whistler got a zero.That's really strange of her...
