Most beautifully fucked up character you've seen

[BOOM headshot65]

From FullMetal Alchemist, Solf J. Kimblee. Kimblee is a complete and udder PSYCHOPATH! He kills everyone he wants in Ishval because it pleases him, he betrayed and killed his own officers "Because I could"(while uber-ed on a Philosopher's Stone), he gets a kick out of looking his victims in the eyes while he kills them

Spoiler: And near the end of the manga/brotherhood *spoilers*

He gets absorbed into Prides Philosopher's Stone, AND IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN HIS INDIVIDUALITY BECAUSE "THE SCREAMING SOOTHS ME"!!!

 

[deathbydeath]

Jacket from Hotline Miami definitely deserves a place here, as well as the Claymores from Claymore and more than a few characters in Berserk.

Ah, yes, the Narrator from The Stanley Parable. He's a douche.

 

[Shadie777]

Rand al'Thor from the Wheel of time.

Spoiler: Lots of spoilers

He starts out as sheperd that is picked up by an Aes Sedai (think of an all- female magic organisation with tons of influence)after his village is attacked by a small force of The Dark One's (the Big Bad) monsters. He escapes with his friends and the Aes Sedai while being chased by a large fucking force of monsters. He finds out that he is destined to become the saviour for the forces of good in The Last Battle (Armageddon), that he is a male magic user who usually go insane due to The Dark One's taint, that he is a reincarnation of the previous saviour who helped reduce a techno-magical world into a medieval dark age and became insane.

while trying to unite the world he has:

-been branded
-stabbed twice by two magical weapons
-forced to run,hide and outsmart very powerful evil magical users (the Forsaken).
-conquer a lot of kingdoms
- learnt that he is going to destroy society
-forced to deal with Aes Sedai, nobles and leaders from trying to manipulate him
-has a separate personality of his previous reincarnation in his head
-created a list of dead women in his head that he feels responsible for and repeats constantly
-been mind-raped
-been trapped in a box
-got his hand burnt off
-forced to take part in battles in which he is responsible for a large amount of kills, on both sides.
-nearly forced to kill his lover by a sadistic Forsaken


I would state more but its hard to paraphrase the series.

By the end of all this, you have a very powerful, very angry insane person with a nihlistic personality. It nearly doesn't end well.

His development from a helpless shepard to a fucking psycho messiah with PTSD, schizophrenia and a whole load of other disorders is absolutely amazing and is one of the major reasons why I love the books.

 

[Brainwreck]

Planescape: Torment's party members (and main character) count as this I feel, though they're not so much crazy bonkers (except for Ignus and I'd say Vhailor) as they are broken, tormented individuals who are nevertheless not angsty emo whiners for a moment. And I believe they are all amazing.

Also got reminded of Vaas from Far Cry 3. I wouldn't describe the game's story and characters as particularly brilliant, but I make an exception for him. The voice actor's amazing performance is what sells it, of course, but holy shit. He's a goddamn presence.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

Jamissia Capra from This Alien Shore. She has a lot of people in her head of various ages/sexes, and the hardware to support it.

Light Yagami from Deathnote.

Kamala from Feast of Souls etc. She is a lot like me, only with the sorcery and the immortality. It IS on my to-do list though ._.

Gerald Terrant aka The Prophet aka The Hunter aka The Neocount of Marentha from Black Sun Rising etc. Seriously, read the prologue of Black Sun Rising and tell me you don't want to know what happens to that charming fellow.

Navarre Burville from the Soldier Son trilogy. If you can read all 3 books and not feel sorry for the shit he had to go through just to stop that highway from being built, then you are a sick bastard. The gold was there the whole fucking time, that's all I'll say.

Andross Guile from the Lightbringer series. Craaaaaaaaaaazy. Lionel Luthor with magic pretty much.

 

[KissmahArceus]

Shane from Walking Dead: Despite the many, many chances he was given tom put things right, he lies, he cheats, he goes out of his way to hurt the ones who love him because he's sad he isn't in charge? Get over it

Brody from Homeland is a delicious cocktail of confused loyalty, misplaced love/trust and honour.

These are very recent characters I know, but they are in my head at the moment!

Hmm... Cersei Lannister is a pretty twisted ****

I'm sure I'll think of others later but I'ma supposed to be working!!

I am ashamed to have the snake wheel avatar and not think of Rand or anyone else From WoT like say Damendred who became one Of the Forsaken because he was always considered second best to Lews Therin. And lets not even get started on Padan Fain

 

[iwinatlife]

Andross Guile from the Lightbringer series. Craaaaaaaaaaazy. Lionel Luthor with magic pretty much.

yay! Im not the only one who has read those books! And Both of his sons are pretty fucked up too, and his grandsons The whole guile family kinda works here

The girl in this picture. From the anime mirai nikki.

 

[Gecko clown]

Eddie Low (the serial killer) from GTA IV.

I got to the place he told me to go but I had to wait for about ten minutes to see what other abjectly terrifying things Rockstar dared to make him say.

 

[vasiD]

I gotta go with what is no doubt one of the most unpopular characters in game history: Raiden.

I had the good fortune of entering the series with MGS2 so the character wasn't a disappointment of my expectations rather just an interesting story unfolding before me, and what a story Raiden has:

Spoiler

Former child soldier being sent on a mission to kill the man who raised him into that life as well as killed his parents all while his pregnant girlfriend keeps asking him vaguely what day it is, not to mention his rogue AI commander who seems to get his cyber-jollies by fucking with the man. The whole game is basically one big torture session for Raiden, almost like a really subtle survival horror game, and when he returns in 4 those emotional scars and additional events show their effect. I think that's why Kojima gave him the happy ending, because he had the worst time of it.

That said, it's hard to tell all the fucked up things that happened to him because Jack spends his days and nights repressing everything, which is possibly the most fucked up thing about him because that tendency seems to lead him right back to the conflicts he sought to forget.

Who says Kojima can't write?

Are those Mage characters in the rulebook stories? If so I have to go read it right now! Only skimmend over some basic mage mechanis and lore so I could use them in my chronicle as NPCs.

The lots of people and things are from the Mage: the Awakening line, Night Horrors - the Unbidden supplement. Also, my favourite supplement for any WoD line. I do recommend it - you can easily use the stuff from there in the old Mage, or even other game lines (there is a fear powered cell phone - a self aware, intelligent cellphone that tries to scare the shit out if its owner. I'd love to see it fall into the hands of a Malkavian!). Voormas is from Mage: the Ascension - he's spread out through many books, you can see him in the Euthanatos tradition book, for example, also makes an appearance in Ascension.

And since you seem to know some stuff about them, are WoD mages long lived or do they have normal life-span? Couldn't find it in the book.

Both the new and the old Mage characters have normal lifespans. They are actually absolutely normal. But they do have access to magic, so they can prolong their lives, and even reincarnate. In the old Mage it's quite easy for them to even transfer their soul/mind (or both) into a successor, so they are born again, for example, or they could just use Life to be unaging. Also, retreating beyond the Gauntlet grants them certain measure of immmortality or at least leeway. But many (foolishly) try to obtain "cheap" immortality using vampires, mostly. Yeah, we've seen how the Tremere turned out - both the old and the new.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Otacon.

Everyone he loves dies, and his father drowned himself while Otacon was in bed with his stepmother. Really? Death *plus* pseudo-incest? Wow.

Also, Albedo from Xenosaga. Now there's one sadistic screwed-up mofo.

 

[SextusMaximus]

JACK FROM MASS EFFECT 2. *****.

OT: Vaas. Mainly for the voice actor. By God you're fucking awesome.

 

[-Dragmire-]

About half the cast of Soul Nomad. Even more if you go down the dark path.

 

[Aerduin]

If you allow comic books then Delight/Delirium from Sandman, hands down.

 

[aba1]

After his friend becomes a demon lord he proceeds to rape Guts girlfriend in front of him while Guts arm gets eaten off his body by demons and his eye gets pieced close with this being his final sight (at least in that eye).

Not quite. His arm is bitten and held in place to keep him from moving, but it's Guts himself that chops it off to get lose. Better yet, he does it with his broken and blunt sword.

Spoiler: gif of the scene in the anime

Na I know I was just being lose with the general idea of what happened if I were to be specific and accurate well I would take up this entire page with text.

Spoileeeeeerssss! You really should hide some of that but yea totally agree, guts is a pretty cool character. A friend of mine got me to watch the anime and then later he had me read the manga (both are pretty good I think). Not sure if you know but his armor is available in Dragon's Dogma. I'm pretty close to the end of the game and still using it.

One thing I don't get though. In the manga, when he escapes as a boy, he's chased and injured, falling off a cliff. It's cold out too I think but it kind of looks like his hand is glowing in a puddle of water. Did he have some kind of divine intervention or is he just that tough, to get up and walk away and still be able to fight the wolves?

I am fairly sure it was him being prepared to die and he sorta just fought out of instinct. Also ya I really should have put some spoiler tags up your right.

 

[irishmanwithagun]

Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion. First of all they're two kids with serious mental issues, and I mean serious.

Shinji simply can't believe in himself, is afraid of relating with other people, has almost no courage in himself so every time he has to do something important or dangerous he becomes afraid of the bad things that can happen and when something bad does happen he always runs away from his responsibility and puts the blame on others. On top of all that, Shinji simply doesn't know his reason to live, he doesn't know what his purpose is or what he wants to do.

Asuka is just insane, she is extremely egocentric and proud of herself, so all the time she's trying to prove to the others how better she is than everyone, she always mocks other people, gets angry about almost anything, is always complaining, putting blame on others when something goes wrong and when someone IS better than her she gets insane, giving away all logic and reason to try to show that she is better than said person. But the most disturbing thing about her is that she can't accept her own feelings, possibly because of her pride. She denies the love she's developing for a character and acts very aggressive towards him, while also saying she has a crush for another guy, that's far "better" than the one she actually loves.

Another thing that's cool is that these two aren't fucked up simply because they are, they have pasts that justify their personalities.

Shinji's mother died when he was very young and his father, Gendo, couldn't take care of him by himself. He had no contact with his father and when he had, his father was always very harsh and cold about him.

Asuka's parents committed suicide and she lived for the rest of her life in a military base training to be an Evangelion pilot.

A) Shinji never blames anyone else for his issues. He spends the entire series blaming HIMSELF for things that aren't his fault and drives himself into self-loathing over things he has no control over. This is because he views himself as worthless due to the "death" of his mother and being abandoned by his father (which was ironically caused by Gendo feeling that he would only bring pain to Shinji by being close to him). This reinforces his inability to get close to others and makes him the AVPD wreck that he is at the start of the anime. More tragic is what happens to him during The End of Evangelion but because I've got no fucking clue how to spoiler shit I'll just let that lie.

B) Asuka is NOT insane and her mother, Kyoko, commited suicide after being ONLY partially absorbed into Unit 02. THis meant that when she she was left insane and replaced her daughter with a doll (going so far as to start calling it "Asuka"). As for Asuka's father (who is never named), he hooked up with the head nurse looking after Kyoko before she had killed herself. He then married her afterwards.

What's so fascinating about the two characters isn't so much that there's reasons for their personal dysfunctions (no, that's just decent character writing) but that the characters are so different despite the fact that they're so different despite the fact that their personal tragedies are si very similar.

 

[Nouw]

Rorschach from Alan Moore's Watchmen. I'm struggling to write why so instead I will implore you to read the graphic novel and watch the film. He's insane, but you may find yourself rooting for him.

don't forget the comedian: also kind of nuts (in a different way), but still understandable.

Really, half of the Watchmen fit this description. Ozymandias too if you consider what he does.

watch-snip

That was hilarious, thanks xD.
