Welcome to Gaia! ::

Read the following VERY carefully before you begin!

These questions apply to Killjoys only. Not Draculoids or anything else you might come up with for the Dangerverse.

I assumed that the person taking this quiz would have a female Killjoy (because most of them are), but male Killjoys can take this quiz as well.

There are two types of traits included in this test: those that are Sue-ish, and those that are not Sue-ish but cliche. Many of these traits are not inherently bad. For example, "feisty" is an item on this list- however, if your character is feisty, that does NOT automatically make her a Suejoy.
Some of these traits should be avoided (like having other Killjoys praise your character constantly), but others are perfectly usable. So why are they a problem? Because if you use too many of them, your Killjoy is one big cliche. These traits were included in the test not because they're bad, but because they've been used a thousand times in a thousand other Killjoys. However, it's possible to combine some of these traits with your own original ideas. The important thing is that your character has a good balance of strengths and flaws, and he or she is your own original creation, rather than a cookie-cutter "badass rebel fighter gurrl".

This test is subjective. If you have a good reason for doing something, it doesn't apply to you. For example, you'll notice that "Singing/playing music" is on here. If you honestly have a good reason for making your Killjoy a talented singer (it advances the plot, it's meaningful to you, etc.) then don't check that box. Just remember that there's a fine line between having a good reason and making excuses for yourself.

This test is not perfect. It will not give you a 100% accurate analysis. However, it will hopefully give you a decent estimate about the Sue-ness of your Killjoy.

And finally, do yourself a favor and be honest. Don't cheat yourself and your character by making up silly excuses (i. e. "She's not a Suejoy, she can't HELP it if Gerard, Frank, Mikey, and Ray are all throwing themselves at her feet!"). Also, this test is not based on any particular Killjoy. If you don't like the results of this quiz, perhaps you should re-evaluate your character instead of taking it as a personal attack.

Please use this as a tag! If you want to post this in your journal, Facebook, etc. that would be highly appreciated! Even if you don't use it, I ask you to put it in your journal so that other people can see it. I put a lot of work into this and I would love it if people actually used it. All I ask is that you give credit to #MCRdeviantClub. (And make sure you include the instructions.)

I think I still need to develop Treble Tank more though, there are elements I hadn't thought of...

Well, do you know who Mary-Sue's are? Characters that have no falws, and everybody happens to love them?
Yeah, well, some people are making their Killjoys like that, which we've decided to name Suejoys.
Is that a good enough explaination?

No problem. wink
