Here is a test that an author can do for fanfiction and rpgs. This test is for OCs to know if you the author is making your character a Mary Sue or not.
For each answer you check mark will either give you points or minus points
Come and test to see if your character is Mary Sue or not.
Please only use one character at a time or you will not get an accurate reading. The test is designed for one character at a time.

Here is the point system you will find in the link
0-16 Points
Most likely Not-Sue. Characters at this level could probably take a little spicing up without hurting them any.
17-21
Probably not a Mary-Sue, although a character can go either way at this point. Fanfiction writers should pay attention to ensure that their characters aren't getting too Sue-ish. For an RPG or original fiction character, however, you're probably perfectly fine.
22-29
Some definite Sue-like tendancies here. A little polishing might be in order to put original fiction and RPG characters back into the balance, especially if Kirking is involved. Fanfiction characters should probably have some work done.
30+
Fanfiction authors beware - Mary's on the loose. There's still a chance you can save this character with some TLC, though. Role-players and original fiction characters, you should also strongly consider giving your character a workover.
36+
Fanfiction authors, you might just want to start over. Role-players and original fiction authors, at this point your characters are likely to provoke eye-rolling and exclaimations of "yeah, right!" from your readers. (Well, at least from me.) Immediate workover is probably in order.
50+
Kill it dead. Or make sure you read the instructions properly (some people don't do this, which causes freakishly high scores) and take the test again.
