Sparkle - So mentally and physically traumatized she ended up going insane and has murdered over 7 million people. The worst part is, she'll never feel redeemed. She was bullied for her autism, adhd, anxiety, depression, blindness, tourettes, need for caffeine, and her hobbies + interests.
The saddest thing Dax has gone through is definitely being possessed by the sun god against his will. Although he is undeniably devout, the idea of really giving up his body to another entirely terrified him, and he ended up trying to resist serving as a vessel, even though it was his job. The mental turmoil this caused will affect him for the rest of his life.
Vyomia: being the only one of her kind and completely alone in the void, making her susceptible to its manipulation. When she finally does find people to surround herself with, the void rips it away from her and slowly infects her, making her a prisoner in her own body as the void uses her body as a puppet to harm her friends

Coral (she is kind of a side character now but once was a main character): Coral's childhood was filled with trauma and neglect. Her parents were never around and she was often left in the care of abusive relatives. As a result, she turned to her imagination and stuffed animals for comfort. However, as she got older, her mental health deteriorated, leading her to attempt suicide multiple times. She was eventually admitted to a mental institution, where she has spent most of her teenage years. Despite various treatments and therapies, she still struggles with her mental health and has been discharged and readmitted several times.
Axel: LITERALLY HAS NOBODY. He was born in the void, so he is immortal unless his creator says otherwise. He has no one to talk to, and he's been looking for someone to actually love for about… 3000 years.
Aisha: Being left alone and their friends hating them

Yooo our characters are kinda similar lmao. I feel like they'd be besties
Aisha: Plus being born without a dad, they don't know what love is like. It's painful, she doesn't even have emotions, they basically shut them all out.
One of my characters accidentally killed his little brother. It's been over a decade in-story and he still lives with the guilt every single day. He hasn't spoken to his parents or his (now ex) fiancé since the incident because he ran away from everyone after it happened, and he is alone and consumed with regret and self loathing, blaming himself for something that he couldn't prevent or control.
Lottie getting involved in illegal business in order to pay her mother's medical bills, overworking herself to the point of sleep deprivation, and then going on a downward spiral about what her mother would think of her if she knew what kinds of things she was doing.
Monika killed someone under very complicated circumstances, the details of which I haven't hammered out quite yet, but it's a determining factor for how her life goes afterward.
Desdemona meeting the love of her life, only to lose her in WWII.
Aoife getting kicked out at around eighteen years old and living on the streets for a few years.
Rosemary having to get into rather unsavory work in order to pay back the man who paid off her family's debt.
Ramona losing her father at seven years old, followed by her family moving to an entirely different country in the same year.
My Protags Mother being killed by a reincarnated go who is actually his Father, but is also his Son?
Okay wait let me do the main characters in my Killjoys universe
Blood Summer: He deals with a lot of things like alcoholism, religious trauma, perfectionism, and disordered eating. But the hardest thing was dying next to his lover fulling believing that his life was worthless and he was going to go to Hell.
Fibia Fie: Being the (accidental) direct reason his close friend Kevin died before he could fully see him again, also causing the rest of the team to have to drop everything they had settled and run away forever so they weren’t killed as well.
Constant C: Extreme guilt from being the (indirect) reason Kevin died, and having to step down as leader of the gang.
Party Thump: Not being able to protect neither Marshall nor Killer from being killed because he wasn’t fast enough.
Killer Silhouette: Not being able to love Party Thump in the way he is supposed to.
Radio Pilot: Not being able to save his little brother when he “died”, but after they reunite his biggest struggle is Party Thump’s death.
My character, Ella fell in love with Loki Laufeyson during their time together on a planet called Sakaar. They both realized how much they had in common and found comfort and solace in confiding their secrets and troubles and trauma to eachother. They had both been through countless horrible experiences that had changed them both into emotionless, hidden people. Ella had to witness Loki be murdered by Thanos and it completely blinded her. She traveled down the path of the Darkhold and she ended up tearing universe upon universe apart trying to find one where Loki didn’t die. Eventually, she found her way to the TVA, where she saw Loki and Sylvie together. She didn’t know that it was the Loki before he had met her and that he wouldn’t even know who she was. She wreaked such havoc on the TVA that she was put in one the highest security prisons that the TVA had, alone, hopeless, forever.
Rainbow diamond had to be stuck on the jungle moon for 1000s of years!
So. I have this character. Her name is Seraphine. She died in a war, but ended up being shifted into a new universe. Same war, same death, another shift. War after war after war she fought, always dying buy she slowly realized things were changing with each new iteration, but that only meant a slightly worse death each timeline.
She went through this for thousands of years, and by the time the loop was over, she was broken, killing indiscrimanately. She was rehabilitated by a kind old lady, but when that lady was brutally murdered her mind completely snapped. Now she just wanders the earth, weeping as she murders anybody she finds in her path. No happy ending. No relief. Just broken.
That's her story so far.

Holy hell, this sounds horrifying.
Yeah, I can see why she weeps.
Out of all the ones I’ve seen, this takes the cake in temporal horror.
my main character has to watch his boyfriend, the one person he for sure cannot save, die right after they thought they got their happy ending. He can't save him, but obviously he tries as his lover is begging to live. The person at fault rn is either gonna be Salems (mc) father or his bfs sister; i haven't quite decided yet on that part.
Also Salems been so desperate to be a good person this whole, to save everyone he can, even if it kills him. which also backfires on him horribly, damn near everything he loves is torn away from him at one point or another
