I was a bit surprised the Black Flag characters scored so low.

There was no mention of that in the test I've got.

Hmm. Well all my Black Flag characters would score at least one
category higher then.

Comparing now (I've done one character in your test), perhaps he would
score lower; my character gained over 20 points in the Original Fiction
test. <g> (Gain, as in over 20 points more than he got in the other
test.)

If you want to check, I posted a link to Irina that I think is the
right one.

Since I seem to be brain dead today...

Hmm.

I ran Blood through. He scores even lower on this one. He gets lots
of points off.

Right. :)

Silver scores a bit higher.

Mostly people seem to be scoring about the same as before.

... but Bambi scores significantly lower...

....and Cabal gets so many minuses he scores *negative* points. !!!!

LOL. :)

<checking list> Is he a bad guy?

And the highest score so far, a whopping 23, really does go to the
genuinely Sue-ish character.

Hm. I wonder whether I'd find a single character scoring that low. :)
