Characters that has already been mentioned that I agree with; Jack from Mass Effect. Rorschach. Fuminori and Saya. PC from Saints Row 2. Ladd Russo. Rand Al'thor

They're all interesting and beautifully fucked up.

I would also like to add Roberta from Black Lagoon, psycho maid which almost comes of like a terminator.

The forsaken from Wheel of time, especially Semirhage who is probably my favorite fucked up character. It was years ago since I last read the books, and I'm waiting to read the last two until the final is released, but I still clearly remember her XD She's fucking crazy and sadistic as all hell.

<spoiler=Spoilers>
She used to be the greatest healer, but inflicted pain on her patients and even murdered those who she thought unfitting of life. When they found out about it, she got mad because they thought more of common people than her and joined the dark side.

Semirhage got power under the dark one
"During the War of Power, territories governed by Semirhage were often marked by terrible cruelty - even compared to territories governed by other Chosen. She forced people in cities to help torture each other. She used this in her studies about breaking people using pain, and experimented on ways to kill, such as replacing people's blood with various foreign substances.

Semirhage used this sinister knowledge on those who had - in her eyes - made her turn to the Shadow, and was filled with enormous satisfaction for each one of those from Hall of Servants who had thought they could judge her, as each swore their loyalty to the Dark One.

She became widely known as the Lady of Pain. So horrific and widespread was her reputation that people were known to bite through their own wrists rather than face her. In fact, special precautions had to be taken to keep prisoners from committing suicide when learning they were to be handed over to Semirhage"

Semirhage discovered the technique where thirteen Dreadlords and thirteen Myrddraal could turn any channeler against their will to the Shadow. However, her preferred method of turning a person to serve the Shadow remained torturing the subjects into swearing allegiance to the Dark One. In addition to her pure enjoyment in inflicting excruciating agony, she thought that painful and perverse punishment is more effective - despite being more time-consuming.

Semirhage also headed a network within lands under the Shadow to root out traitors and spies who followed the Light, and she was extremely effective in that role. There was a time during the War that Semirhage was captured, but she frightened her guards so much that they smuggled her out of captivity."

And much later when she gets captured by the main character, she doesn't answer their questions but talks about torture techniques and how she used to treat her prisoners.

"No, you're doing it wrong, this is how you should be torturing me." XD

I love her.


So yeah, I'm gonna chose Semirhage as the most beautifully fucked up character I've seen.

Vaas from Far Cry 3. Sure, he's a mass-murdering psychopath, but you gotta wonder, why does he act like that? Maybe he's just sad, maybe he just wanted a friend... Or maybe he's just like that cause he's like that.

The entire cast of Neon Genesis Evangelion, of course. Sure, giant robots and conspiracies are one thing, but it would not have been anywhere near as iconic (or incomprehensible) if the characters had their shit together,

Just off the top of my head:

Desire, from the Sandman. In his/her own way, much more fucked up than even Delirium.

President Gary Callahan, aka the Smiler from Transmetropolitan. "Yes, General, I am masturbating into the American flag. It relaxes me. Would you rather I use you?"

Doktor Sleepless from, well, Doktor Sleepless. "Future Science Jesus" my ass.

Marlo Stanfield. Anyone that knows him knows why he belongs here. There's plenty of tragically flawed or deliciously evil characters in fiction but Marlo's the closest it gets to capturing what it means to be an animal in human society.

I think Rorschach from Watchmen was excellent in his role. He'd be like any person who spent his entire time being abused, living in a shithole by day and murdering criminals by night- an utter sociopath.

There have been so many. Most of them in games and anime/cartoons.

Kuja and Kefka from Final Fantasy series. (They make Dissidia worth playing, all the other villains utterly pale)
Both of them have a fantastic God complex, but Kuja's is far more flawed than Kefka's. Kuja's is born through a deeper inferiority complex. But both of them achieve (near God)/God Status and blow up planets because they're more important in the grand scheme, fucked up indeed.

Oh and who can forget my childhood one. Ken Ichijouji. Damn he was a fun villain in the first half of the Digimon second season.
I'm really annoyed they pulled a 'DA LIGHT WILL FIX YOU'. Because he got boring after that. I would have liked it more if his personality truly was as fucked up as it seemed. But no one liked that season after the Kasier arc, so sod it. Headcannon is he's is still that fucked up, just a bit more subdued.

LeLouche. Darling. What can I say that already hasn't been said.

Judge Claude Frollo from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Both him and his book-priest counterpart are just. Wow, there is some serious fuck-upage there, but it's a fascinating tale with great characters. Underrated Disney film too. One of my favorites if they'd omitted the gargoyles and gone flat out on the dark tone of the movie.

The Joker. He is king. Plain and simple.

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.
Rorscharch is fucking great. It's ironic that, in the sense of the story, he's really the only sane person. His uncomprimising stance is also really admirable.


I took a pic of one of the panels, wherein he's flashing his awesomeness:

Yeah, it's that concept of being an insane or sane man in an insane world. His refusal to compromise, meet them half-way really is admirable and truly shows what kind of character Rorschach is.

Kratos.
He is severely maddened by the urge to seek revenge on the gods who all betray him. ( The memories, will they end? "your sins will be forgiven", and then he doesn't get freed from it. He is turned into a god for like a week or so, which is sorta cool, but then Zeus kills him ) I mean, if Ares didn't make Kratos kill his family(twice btw), they could have ruled everything together, but no, let's just piss off the most brutal sociopath, who has since he's been born been trained (by the best, Spartans, gods, TITANS ) to kill.
Point is, in one of the psp former exclusives, he gets to be with his daughter in the underworld, only for Atlas and Hades' wife to start destroying everything, so in order so save everything, he must abandon the only thing he wants; his family.

If they'd just leave him alone, everything would be fine. But noooo, Kratos do this, do that, then we betray you! Hahaha, Oh wait, now you're back, with sick gear, and a twitching eye. why is your sword in my brain?
Then he destroys the entire Greek pantheon, and basically what was left of the world.

He is the most bad-ass f*cker ever, but also one of the most tragic antiheroes.


Rorschack has been metnioned, He also counts.

I don't know. She has had a screwed up life, but she is fairly well adjusted considering. In the end (last episode) she seems relatively happy after meeting Madoka's younger brother. Obviously she is not "happy" with what happened, but she doesn't appear to be screwed up herself.

I do love that anime, especially as I wasn't expecting it to be anything like it was.
Well, I view it like this...

She spent, literally, years of her life obsessing over saving her friend to the point of near insanity and crippling suicidal depression.

It counts to me, lol.

Escapists, what is a nice and psychologically scarring character you think the world needs more of?
I've probably been ninjaed in the intervening 6 pages, but here goes.

Fei Fong Wong.

And I can't say way without spoiler tags.

ID.
ID.

Fei is so traumatized that, when overly stressed, he turns into a red-headed psychotic murderer. At one point, Fei spends several days attempting to solve a murder that HE COMMITTED and doesn't remember doing. It's a whole arc in the game.

Yeah. She was messed up. I wonder if the ending counts as a happy one for her, now that she's completely crossed over into her imaginary world and won't have to face reality ever again. It would have been much better if she learned to accept reality, but in a sense, it's kind of like when Maximus went to see his family after he died in Gladiator.
That's a good question. I see it more along the lines of Brazil, myself, where the mind slips into the fantasy world because you have no hope that your mind can adequately process what comes next. I wonder if she could have faced reality if she could have built any sort of life for herself outside Hollywood.

Gollem from Lord of The Rings. His backstory is so sad, but how he is in the trilogy is a great example about how someone can get destroyed by an addiction. It's just... beautiful. And really terrifying at the same time.

Can I also put James Sunderland from Silent Hill on here? People who played it will understand completely.

Thel Vadamee/The Arbitar.

Yes he is technically the bad guy he has done horrible things to the human race and other creatures. He has a deep character arc and is a ruthless man- er alien.

Next's the Death priest from Deadman wonderland. I forgot his name but his back story when you finally see it makes much of his psychotic killing understandable. He wants to die, and what he saw and done i can't blame him.

EDIT: Also one of my friends RP characters from the forum on Dead frontier.
(By the way we NEED new blood.)

Jack "Ripper" Adams. Both versions.
One is a cannibalistic madman worshiping Zorn which is German for Wrath. He is like Frankenstein and is trying to make friends but he is also a renegade kind of person.

And his first version of him he was a kid from a asylum who grows calm when he works on machines. His back story if pretty damn deep and interesting.

After finishing Farcry 3, I can't go past Vaas.

"Do you know the definiton of insanity?" cutscene.

There is no other way to put it.

Or Joker as played by the legendary Heath Ledger.

People already mentioned at this point were Vaas(Far Cry 3), Isaac Clarke(Dead Space 2, more specifically), Handsome Jack(Borderlands 2), James Sunderland(Silent Hill 2), Rorschach(Watchmen), Granny Rags(Dishonored) Johan Liebert(Monster) and Kimblee(FMA: Brotherhood).

A SMALL part of me wants to say Stein from Soul Eater, but personally, I think he'd be a more complicated character if they made him sympathetic or possibly struggling more with his insanity, but you only feel SO MUCH sympathy for him when he runs around, proclaiming how happy he is to be insane. It kind of takes away from the whole "I'm an insane badass" factor.

Hnnng, I don't think I can mention any NEW additions. I mean, I had some until I read everyone else's posts, now I'm just out of ideas. xD Plus, I never really found a distinct attraction to insane characters because it's VERY hard to play the character right; most of them come off as either really OP or really pathetic because it's a hard feeling to capture correctly.
