HOW THE THING HECKING WORKS:

You check off the boxes that apply to the character, and in the end it'll give you a score. Too high you need to change some things, too low and your tea is the blandest of teas. Just because your character applies to a box doesn't make them bad having too high of a score on the other hand does. 

The more honest you are with your oc, the better it works! Tends to work best with non animal based creatures and humanoids.
