Hmm, let's see!only a few stories
@Eliza Prescott: to be fair I don't think planned stories can yet count as a cliche XD
@diamondpearl876: That is pretty fascinating. Can you remember the name of the site or whatever?
That is a good point. I think a lot of people scream 'Mary Sue' the second anyone shows up with a magical ability or something, but it really depends on the context of the story. A powerful magician in Harry Potter makes sense - a powerful magician in Modern Family does not.
What makes these 5 instruments worthy of an additional MS point?+ Does the character play a musical instrument well? [1 point]
+ Is it guitar? [1 point]
+ Bass? [1 point]
+ Violin? [1 point]
+ Flute? [1 point]
+ Piano? [1 point]
What the hell is up with everyone associating katanas or other Asian weapons with Mary Sues? And if you look at it, it seems it'd still apply to Samurai...who'd logically be expected to use weapons like a naginata or a katana.+ Does the character use a katana or any other Asian weapon [1 point]
+ Despite being of non-Asian heritage? [3 points]
What does a winged character have to do with Mary Sues? I'd think that in the appropriate setting this wouldn't be a problem.+ Does the character have wings (this counts even if she/he is an angel, only has wings sometimes, can't fly, etc.) [10 points]
Why 1 point even if existence of these skills is normal in the character's universe? I can get the supernatural abilities earning 2 MS points in a "normal" universe but even the relatively mundane and real skills of sharpshooting, martial arts, sleight-of-hand, computer hacking, ability of bare handed killing are worth 2 points in a "normal" universe.[If your character exists in an otherwise normal universe, add 2 points to her/his score for *each* of the following abilities that your character possesses (with or without the aid of charms, spells, etc.). If, however, possession of these abilities is considered normal in your character's universe, add only one point each.]

+ The ability to shrug off minor wounds
+ The ability to kill people with her/his bare hands
+ Super strength or speed
+ Skill in martial arts or hand-to-hand combat
+ Sharp-shooting
+ Sleight of hand
