Bad Character Ideas

[Arthur Morgan]

Y’all. Y’all. Give me your absolute worst character ideas. The ones that are so bad they might actually be weirdly good. Or maybe they’re just bad, I dunno. Hit me with it.

Here, I’ll go first:

• John Wick but every time he’s found some semblance of peace, someone goes and murders his dog.
• A bard who only plays the kazoo.
• A snake but it can only manifest one arm at a time and it’s always in some random place on its body.
• A giant freakin wasp.
• Angry beekeeper who fights with a broom covered in swarming bees.
• Dora the Explorer, but Boots is a vicious attack-monkey.
• Machete-wielding slasher who is dissuaded by screaming and blood.

:’D

Well, now I HAVE to contribute!

-Literally our real-life selves, no superpowers or anything, complete with grainy mirror-selfie avatars
-A fresh graduate who adventures on Multerra to pay off their student loans (and asks staff to please disable their Coin earning)
-A bee. Can sting once, then the character dies.
-A holy crusader that tries to kill anyone that isn't Lawful Good and casts an alignment-detecting spell at everyone they meet, including random people in the street.
-A villain who constantly wants to do evil stuff but unintentionally everything they do turns out good and helpful
-Similar, a 'villain' who does good things thinking they're evil ("I'll invent the cure to cancer and give it out for free, the world shall tremble!")
-A 50-year-old man who only has dad-related powers like grounding, power tools, dad jokes and detecting when someone touches the thermostat
-Three gnomes in a trenchcoat who constantly disagree on everything
