So, I have no clue how to revive that old “Most __ Character” thread without it falling into the category of illegal thread necromancy, so here goes. I hope I’m not violating my commenting curfew with this one.

Since I don’t want to rip off a pre-existing thread, I’m reversing the premise. “What is your least __ character?”

Here’s the first prompt I guess.

“Who is your least well character?”

@Cackla-the-Phantasma group

….Cliff. Definitely Cliff.

Who is your least tall character?

My least tall character is Null the Joe, otherwise known as that conspiracy theorist guy.
Even if his compatriots weren’t composed of giant 14 foot tall robots, he’s 5’1, so that doesn’t help his case either.

Alrighty, here’s the second one. Hopefully someone new can respond to this one. If not.. Well, you know what to do.

“Who is your least confident character?”

@Cadeverek group

My least confident character is surely Simon and that's saying a lot lol. It's to a point he sometimes avoids leaving the house because he doesn't wanna be seen. His biggest insecurities are his weight, overall appearance and poor social skills, all of which makes him feel like he just doesn't fit in anywhere so every interaction he has with anyone is kinda tainted by his lack of confidence and nervousness that people think he's pathetic, something he agrees with. He often tries to make up for it by being as friendly as possible and going along with people's behaviour even if he is unconfortable, as well as making self-deprecating jokes because "if I do it to myself first you don't have to do it, I'm aware of these traits already, no need to comment on that please"

also, the way your shortest character is 5'1…. I'm never leaving the house ever again 💀 /hj


who is your least intelligent character?

@aekv group

gotta be Dominique. i wouldn't call her dumb, but she definitely puts on the "clueless valley girl" act so often that it's getting harder and harder to tell whether that's her actual personality or not.

aren't trauma responses fun?

anyway, who's your least developed character?

@another_Sarcastic_writer group

Hm probably Gavin, the rest of the characters in his world are much more developed but he's just there. I need to work on him some more…

who's your more outgoing character?

@Cadeverek group

Shouldn't it be the "least"? Well, it would be a huge tie between several. Simon avoids leaving the house if he can and when he does he tends not to like being eprceived very much, but Frank quite literally lives in his van, isolated in the forest as far away from people as he can. Meanwhile Lost Media quite literally can't leave the spot they're in, they're like a HUGE sentient statue.

@gay_corgi group

(Responding to @another_Sarcastic_writer)
Definitely Juniper. She loves meeting people but doesn't open up about personal stuff until she really knows someone. She doesn't really understand the point of being shy, and that tends to work in her favor.

What's your least emotionally strong character?

@Chillicheesey language

Definitely Luka. He was forcefully deafened and made to be a courtesan at a very early age. Despite all the things that he's been through, he has a very hard time dealing with his emotions and often feels things a lot deeper than others.

Who's your least empathetic character?

@Cackla-the-Phantasma group

Probably a toss-up between Xerxes, one of the main antagonists in my current WIP and who I'm currently calling the Blip, my go-to resident cynic.

Xerxes pretty much just puts on an act of caring heavily about others, but it's mostly just detached fascination with other people. He's better at masking it than his war buddies: the genocide moth Thanatos and Ares, the military industrial complex robot, but that's not saying much.
Xerxes does care about Io (Main Protag) in his own way, like she was his granddaughter.
He still doesn't quite get why Io doesn't want to forcibly turn 25% of humanity into robots and brutally slaughter the rest. He also seemed pretty nonchalant revealing to Io that she was forcibly uploaded to a corpse turned into a robot.

As for the Blip, he pretty much learned to not care about anybody through the long session of misery that is his life.
After years of being killed and "respawned", the respawning malfunctioned and cursed the Blip with involuntary convulsing and twitching of his body along with a stuttering voice.
He tried to vent his frustrations to his fellow respawned corpses in the junkyard, but he just gave up when he heard something to the effect of "I don't care." one too many times.
Nowadays he just grumbles in the corner of whatever room he's in and just tries to mess with other peoples' day to make the day pass easier.
He tries his best to care, but he just can't go one moment trying to care about something or someone without getting pissed off.

Anyway, if you're somehow down here…

Have a cookie 🍪 :)

Anyway. Here's a juicy one to continue this. Have fun!

"Who's your least liked character?"

@Chillicheesey language

Danica. As the High Queen, everything's been handed to her– not to mention, she is the main perpetrator when it comes to everyone else's suffering.

Who's your least progressive character? (in terms of ideologies)

@HighPockets group

Liesl. Most of the other members of the fascist government are in it for the power or the money, but Liesl is a true believer–Karlynn and Julian want power, Ilsa is extremely mentally ill and grew up in a cult, but Liesl genuinely believes everything she says.

Who is your least talkative character?

@Cackla-the-Phantasma group

Hands down the Smiler. No contest.

All the other characters all have at least one word of dialogue, but the Smiler just has no dialogue.
Closest the story gets to him talking is a character describing what they think the Smiler thinks of them and him writing down the phrase "Smile at your best. Smile at your worst" on a wall.

There's no long lasting trauma that made him like this, the Smiler just doesn't find talking worth it.

He also tore out his voice box during an interrogation, so that's also a mild factor. The Smiler could get it fixed if he really wanted to, but he just doesn't care about talking. Not a single bit.

Anyways, who's your least normal character?

Dr. Sunzy group

Probably Sylvia. She prefers to hang upside down in trees and cut up children's toys to hang on the trees. She says they are "Chase's" ornaments. No one really questions it much though.
She also likes to talk to this guy named 'Kenzi', always pointing to where he's at but no one can really see. She has this purple book she always carries around that has black ink smeared all over the pages in sloppy "finger-painting" kind of writing.

Who's your least hateful character?

Aubrey

Definitely Dahlia. But she is six years old. And she is amazing. She is also dead…

Who is your least favorite character? (we all play favorites)

(Spoiler contains mentions of SA)

Probably the Triadmus Council, my triad of cult leaders who’ve turned coat from the robot revolution to their human overlords because they had their asses kicked in the rebellion.

The least terrible one is a sanctimonious angelic figure by the name of Samazriel, who just won’t shut up about morality and how “impure/unworthy” the characters are. Unlike the others, he wholeheartedly believes the faith, which makes him more bearable than his partners.

Worst of all is their leader (Pyus) is a

, and he’s just a complete dickhead to Io (protagonist mentioned earlier) and her friends after that. He is the reason she had a hatred of religion for a while until her boyfriend helped her process the trauma, both mental and physical.

While Pyus is the worst one in terms of morality, the last member Pascal is just the most insufferably annoying one.
He’s named after the philosophical argument I hate the most (Pascal’s Wager. [Boils down to “It is best to believe in God in order to avoid punishment when being an Atheist would either net you punishment, or no reward”]).
His dialogue and personality essentially boils down to “Best to take the safe cowardly route when any other option isn’t guaranteed!”
Pascal pretty much doesn’t even believe in the religion unlike the rest. He’s just using it to insert himself into a position of power while also being a snob douchebag in the process.

If you’re wondering why I’m keeping these dudes in, it’s because leaving them out would be a waste when I could have the protagonists (More accurately the Order’s own malicious incompetence) beat them up to gratify repressed emotions. They’re also great thematically, with the whole defeating your demons to come to peace with them.

Anyways, enough yapping from me about my nerd universe lol. Here’s next question!

“Who is your least conventional character?”
