I went from 19 to -1 to not a complete monster. How amusing.
My only goal in life is to ensure that Mousa dies of a stress-induced heart attack by the age of 23. READ THISIt looks kind of annoying to check these off through text...
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.Also, what about showing stuff in graphic detail? I think you forgot that one.
My only goal in life is to ensure that Mousa dies of a stress-induced heart attack by the age of 23. READ THISSmug Snake Harry Dage got a 31, just as I had hoped. Although he wasn't truly designed to be a Complete Mosnter, he was the most revolting of the antagonists.
I must say that this is a very well-made quiz.
This is this.I got a 63 for a character in this thing I wrote a long time ago.
I'm feeling strangely happy now, contented and serene. Oh don't you see, finally I'll be, somewhere that's green...My Big Bad Travis scored a 37.
Then again, his introductory act of evil is to crucify one of the main characters (an immortal) and hang a sign around their neck reading "Until death do us part".

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialYou're missing an option from the 'character's psychological background' section - specifically, them having a normal upbringing in a (relatively) normal civilisation with no real trauma to speak of. Not every Complete Monster was raised on the corner of Dysfunction Junction.
What's precedent ever done for us?^^Funnily enough, Harry Dage also crucifies a few innocent people for the giggles.
Then Gant defeats him, nails him upside down to a tree, and spends a few minutes kicking him repeatedly in the guts before another enemy soldier comes along.

56 for the main antagonist of my current novel here.
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.Hey, 65 with the revision!
I'm feeling strangely happy now, contented and serene. Oh don't you see, finally I'll be, somewhere that's green...... My word, my depiction of Tzeentch gets a 57. Impressive.
What's precedent ever done for us?A character that is sitting in the back of my mind is not a Complete Monster thanks to the last three questions. * He makes for a really odd villain because he enjoys good acts as well as evil acts. * In the beginning of his career he was primarily focused on revenge and gaining power, but eventually he shifted to following his own odd beliefs. *
Essentially he thinks that both good and evil are two different parts of art. Having a white painting or a black painting is not a piece of art, but a blend of the two resembling Chiaroscuro or maybe even Tenebrism is. Most of the time he is quite content with helping out both sides, but sometimes he personally gets involved when he feels it needs his personal touch. * He often tries to get the most amount of fun out of this conflict.
His pastimes are reading books, playing Grachtess, * and making artwork out of things one would not consider beautiful unless they are a Nightmare Fetishist YMMV.
He is still a Work In Progress.

Has ADD, plays World of Tanks, thinks up crazy ideas like children making spaceships for Hitler. Occasionally writes them down.Going by this, is Frollo a complete monster?
I did that test for the Herald, the Big Bad in my setting, and got a total of 37. He is indeed supposed to be a complete monster with no redeeming qualities (being Affably Evil is not really a redeeming quality).
YES! My Reaper Zombies scored 34! Sure they may be zombies created by an unknown source, but once a person dies and becomes a Reaper, they have essentially become a whole other character. Kinda like a body snatcher.

Dunno how I feel about this one. Take Satan from The Mysterious Stranger. He explicitly says that angels can "do no wrong" because they have no concept of wrong, but he does some pretty messed up things. Screwing around with children's mental well-being, mostly.
Not to say that Satan is or isn't a Complete Monster, but what you're pretty much saying here is that a character who would otherwise be a Complete Monster turns out to be crazy, then they actually aren't one, just like that?

I think the important thing is 'functionally incapable of comprehending that what they're doing is wrong'. That robs them of a certain amount of agency.
What's precedent ever done for us?My second and third books' villain Atrexis scored somewhere between 6-29.
He has many of the trappings of a Complete Monster especially with what his side does to the other factions, but ultimately he's got far more depth and motivation than that.
"Allah may guide their bullets, but Jesus helps those who aim down the sights."My Big Bad? Definitevely not a monster. The Dragon? Perhaps... The Psychopathic Manchild? was on its way to be one, but its sympathetic background said otherwise.

I did this one for the antagonist of my unpublished yaoi novel Crushed. She got a 51. And she accomplishes this trope through bullying. How's that for an accomplishment? (I'm not bragging, I'm just surprised).
I'm already convinced that Pride, Lust, Sue, and Empress Talon would already get higher, plus my head is spinning from all that math so I'll try with them later.
Something of an Affectionate Parody of the Mary Sue Quiz, perhaps. Inspired by the "Complete Monster or not?" and "Subpages Cleanup" threads.
Do you want to know if your character is a Complete Monster?
Let me know if you have comments or ideas for improvements.
Less than zero: Not a Complete Monster
