Mary Sue... or Gary Stu, whatever

So I took this thing called the Ultimate Mary-Sue Litmus test, using Made of Stone as an example. Needless to say, my character needs to die in a fire. XD Anything over 50 is totally unsalvageable, and I got 52. To be fair, you get 10 automatically for using your real name (as I did), and another 10 for ending up with Hotaru at the end. Being

Nicodemus Road (original character of mine) scored an eighteen, thanks to exchanges like the following:
Chibi: "Well, teeeechnically, you did lose your wife..." *clicks ticky-box*
Nick: "I didn't lose her. I know exactly where she is--she's at the address I send my alimony payments to every month." ._.
Chibi: O_o *unclicks ticky-box*
Nick: "No, leave it ticked. It counts if I'd like to lose her tragically and in a time, place, and manner where I have a solid alibi saying that I didn't do it, doesn't it?"

He did take some serious hits for his name, though. XD

A non-Gary Stu character of mine I tried the test with scored high (49). A blatant Gary Stu scored low (11). I think it's a little off. :)
