So since I'm kinda bored and I am one of the many people who LOVE hearing about and ranting about things like this, WHAT are some of the WORST ROLEPLAY CHARACTERS you have EVER had the MISFORTUNE to Roleplay with? Like Mary Sues, or just horribly unoriginal characters? Also, are YOU the owner of one of the worst characters ever? Tell me about it, I had some pretty terrible characters in my early years of RPing. For an example, My oldest and first role-play character ever was probably the biggest Mary-sue in history. She was for a warriorcats group, a long, long, longlonglong time ago. Her name was Dawnfire. She had silver fur, white belly. She had a /fucking white star/ on her forehead. She was also, guess what? Really super good at fighting! And hunting! And flirting! And she was really pretty! Her BACKSTORY? The dark forest thought that she would overthrow them, and that they /wanted her to die/ so they sent a whole bunch of minions to kill her all the time. And of course, she killed them all. She also had a really freaking unoriginal personality- Smart, nice to her friends, but is extremely viscous towards members of other clans. And do you know what tops it ALL OFF? The worst part about her, even worse that the star on her forehead? Hen she got angry... Her vision and eyes TURNED RED. Ok done ranting about that terrible excuse for a character ^ What are some characters you know and hate?

Hey mind if I rant about a stupid character I had?
I dunno I forgot her name .o.
but she was a huge Mary sue and I forgot what I even used her for xD I think she was used for a roleplay I used to participate in but later on I started realizing, what the hell kind of character did I make? I'm sure I edited her into some of my more recent character like I literally threw her old abilities and personality away xDD now she's a more decent character but I don't use her for rps I draw her on Deviantart ;v; well kind of xD.
I honestly forgot everythinğ about her like before when she was a crap invincible character .-.
welpp I'm done ranting about that xD

Ohhhh man, yeah, I've had and seen some pretty bad characters... A while ago (before my most recent hiatus from RiaL) I made a little rant about some characters people had on here...
And of course, my first OC...? A... Warrior cat OC, what's her name, Wildpath? Super cliche, exiled from clan by terrible oh terrible leader (who was a loner but killed the original leader and had a bunch of rogue allies and somehow took control of the Clan wow seriously), ran off, really angry and hostile and good at fighting, hated everyone. There was this other cat (who originally joined the Clan with afore mentioned oh terrible leader) who got exiled not long after and liked Wildpath and went after her and bla bla bla and I never finished that little story... It was so bad oh my god CRINGE
I cut things out and added things in, changed some things, and I still have these characters (with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT backstories and tweaked, better personalities, mind you) in a fantasy setting along with a ton of other weird OCs I mostly just have as an excuse to draw giant snakes and one-eyed unicorns... oh god I still sound like I have terrible characters don't I <__<;

I think it's pretty amazing how much we develope just by being around others who know what they're doing. Like, we go from bad to OK to Phenominal just by looking at others peoples characters and opinions, and basing our own off of something that isn't usually done or gets good feedback, and leaving behind the cliches.
Not saying that we should conform to others expectations, of course.
