The saddest thing you've given your characters to deal with.

Negative: Being not cared for after her Dad and Mom went on a trip and never came back.

One of my characters suffers from wild visions of the past and future; one of these visions concerns the death of his best friend. Usually, when he receives a vision it'll offer more than one possible scenario, except for when it comes to major events that are typically inexorable. His best friend's death is seemingly inexorable. Obviously, he wants to try and prevent it from happening regardless, and he really did intend on telling his friend about it… the problem is, in the vision, he's the one who kills his friend.

Sooooo, he's in desperate need of therapy…lots of it…

Flippers blames herself for everything. Her mom and dad stayed together (even though they had a terrible relationship) because they were both really poor and couldn't afford to live away from each other. One day, her father snapped and killed her mother, while Flippers watched. He blamed his daughter for doing this. Flippers runs away, and lives on the streets. She develops IED and some serious anxiety.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT HER THROUGH THAT THAT SUCKS!? XD

Dang bro. That must suck for them.

I had my pregnant character get hit by a car and them and their partner thought they had lost their babies after struggling to conceive and had to resort to using an expensive medicine to help give them another chance. They eventually realized they only lost one of the three and had their happy end…. for a while anyways….

Azami lost her mother(never knew her father), she died in childbirth and was locked away by her aunt a few years later, where she was blamed time and time again for her mother's death. When she was four, she was rescued by a pirate crew, and just in time, because her entire island was ravaged by a hurricane, and nobody survived. Then, she left her crew when she was 9, after meeting her brother(technically half-brother, but they call each other brother and sister). She met two more(not biological) brothers, but one supposedly died about a year later.
Fast forward 10 years, she's 19, she loses her other non-biological brother, and is convinced that it's her fault.
2 years later, she reunites with her other non-biological brother, the one who supposedly died when she was 9.

yaaaaayyyy

@Leshierian

Harli was mauled by the beasts from the forest as the only person whose ever cared about him dies. He almost died himself. When he got back from the forest with the herbs, Eddith had already died.
And a week or so later the bombings started. his town was destroyed along with everyone in it. leaving him alone with only the ground and sky to keep him company. The only reason he didn't die too was that the night he was mauled a giant looming creature came to his aid, now making him almost impossible to kill. He'd rather have died with the rest of them

I'm planning on killing an important main character, Lane, the hacker of the group. They're going to find an obstacle that they can't hack, because they know it takes a human life to kill before it lets the others pass through. They're going to leave this little AI they spent years working on with the group and simply say "Don't let them forget me, okay? I don't want to fade into the background or just be the hacker of the slums, let the world know my name. I love you guys, and I'm sorry." before they blow themselves up/whatever the trap I have planned does. What makes it worse is that the little AI, called S.P.I.R.I.T has Lane's voice and ends up playing a recording of them all happy before it cuts to a video of Lane saying another goodbye, to their mother. They never expected to live past the trip.

I mean, later they do have their spirit pushed into the S.P.I.R.I.T AI, but it's a painfull proccess and they can't say who they are for a while.

Aight so
It's Jax's turn
She grew up as a doctor, but her home country was in the middle of a civil war. The war just kept going and going, and eventually, her brother was killed in the fighting. The World Government soon got annoyed with this war, seeing as her country was powerful, and this war could cause other countries to revolt, as well. So what was their solution? Create a fake disease, take people away to 'cure' it, then kill them. Eventually, when Jax was only five, they took her parents, leaving only her sister. Two years later, she died from an injury, and seven-year-old Jax was on her own. She lived in the basement of the hospital where her family worked, barely managing to scavenge for food.

TL;DR: Jax's brother died in a civil war, parents are victims of an attempted genocide, sister died, she lived alone under a hospital for two years, gained medical knowledge along the way

Don't worry, though
She gets rescued when she's nine

Miji has to deal with being the only surviving member from a crew of 12. He was the younger sibling to the whole group. And he was their doctor, which means he watched a lot of their heartbeats stop on his monitors and had to examine every dead body
(Miji I'm so sorry)

Amira Dixon is a Mage who was abandoned before she knew how to speak. At first, she felt bad for them, thinking they couldn't afford to take care of a daughter, but when she was three she found a Mage street called Manger Avenue, where she met Rodney Neamore, a nineteen-year-old who told her that her parents were apart of a cold-blooded group that served an evil man. A year later she found her one-year-old sister, Roxanne, who too was abandoned by the same parents, and she was finally able to find family she could trust. However, two years after meeting, Roxanne died of SARS (2004). This broke her so much that she ran away from everything she'd built when she was eight years old and changed her appearance, then her name to Lilli Markley. She also locked the personality of "Amira" in the back of her mind and created a new one, and throughout the books she acts as Lilli instead of who she truly is, so much so that she forgets who Amira is.

@Anyanka99 oh shit waddup

Alga's older sister Hira tried to kill them both when she was thirteen. Her parents blamed her for some reason and she moved out at 16.
Tavi had to flee his home country at 16 because his father was a serial killer. He didn't know why until years later but he knew they were on the run. Alternatively it could be watching his boyfriend being swallowed up by a vengeful nature spirit.

Trigger Warning: Everything

Spoiler - click to show.

Ok…I'll start with my protagonist:
Bluefur- #1. His name
OK, I'll get serious now.
So he lives in this orphanage, where the person who owns it is incredibly sadistic, and she's called the co-boss, but her name is Meraline, but I will still call her the co-boss so readers don't become "familiar" to her.
In the orphanage, the staff basically treats the people as inanimate objects. The co-boss enjoys cutting my Blueberry and then burning that area. She doesn't give food to them for weeks, months even. Same for water. They barely take baths (only when the staff wants them to be clean), and can be locked up in their rooms (Bluefur's is a tiny closet that he can barely fit in) for hours, or even days. The co-boss can weaponize anything and everything (and believe me, she does). She makes them eat the dirt they clean up instead of throwing it away, never stepping foot outisde, not allowed to open windows (only the staff can do this), the orphans receive no medical care, are verbally abused at times, some even get raped (by the staff or other orphans. The staff doesn't care or help if they do), and…I don't want to say more.
The staff treat each other with some disrespect a few times, too, pretending they don't exist at times (which is a bit childish).
I'll give you a bit of his background (it's still in progress):
He was raised in Sparrow Orphanage, unaware of his age, birthday, family, appearance, or really anything for that matter. He was abused horridly during his years there, which was all this life. Being burned physically, having the staff cut him with a knife intentionally, being raped when he was 5 years old, forced to "live" in a closet for hours, given no food or water for weeks, not allowed to take a shower or use the bathroom, being slapped at every
minute, hearing the staff talk terribly about him, being made fun of every day, being used by everyone, never going outside (never has before) and not allowed to speak are not even half of the whole thing. He suffered this and much more at the hands of the orphanage's staff, and sometimes even the orphans there themselves. Most came from Meraline Warren (the co-boss), and others. In the first few pages of the book, we witness the co-boss crossing Bluefur's pre-existing scars, calling it "X marks the spotting). He is not allowed to scream or make a noise, and when he winced at first, the co-boss puts her hand over his mouth and nose, pushing her hand down so he's lying on the table, and brought down the knife to his face, cutting his nose bridge and cheek. She then lifts him up by the shoulders, continues the process, and then starts to burn every single center of every single "X" she made on his skin.

And this is all just in the first book

Your character too…T.T
I really hope he does get his happy ending…that's a lot of emotional trauma
