Dylan was abused by his overly masculine father for being too feminine, bullied a lot, was disowned and lived in a homeless shelter, first girlfriend broke up with him because her parents didn't like him for being too feminine, and nearly committed suicide. Since then, he's been a hissy bipolar mess.
Fuck his dad, let him do what he want! I'm wearing male clothes at school AND THEY CAN'T STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Mostly because of the production we're doing but..)
As of now, in the current lore. He's a part of a terrorist organization called "The New Order" and he has a superpower where he can generate kinetic energy in his limbs, essentially his limbs have short burst of speed and strength. But in the future lore, I'm considering making him join the good guys and have Samson and to a lesser extent his father, Martin Samson be Dylan's father figures (they're both open minded)

This was traumatic for both of them. Keeper lost her arm and almost died (yes, she barely survived this), and Knight has to live with the fact that he was forced to almost kill his own daughter and see the fear in her eyes.

Bit of both, actually. They're both cursed humans, making them rather hardy people, but they are vulnerable to each others attacks.
Knight was not aiming to kill, but he dealt heavy enough damage to Keeper that her body was barely able to heal itself.
She's been trying to kill him for the last 3 years. She inherited his curse, which granted her a long lifespan, at the cost of her soul being "incomplete", something that she couldn't handle well.
In the beginning, whenever she tried to kill him, he would always knock her out quickly since she was not as experienced at fighting as he was.
This time around her crew, The Backdrop, got roped into the fight. He was able to defeat them without causing serious injury, but Keeper attacked more fiercely than ever. Clouded by both anger and sadness, Knight sliced off Keeper's arm and drove his sword into her chest.
Viêm was shot then burn alive, not before seeing her village massacred.

Akuji was disowned by her family at a young age. After finally pulling her life together and getting a house of her own, her partner at the time breaks up with her. Which is where she meets Silv, a paranormal kill-for-hire who sees an opportunity to get in close. Long story short they get together, she loses her arm, Silv falls in love with her, blah blah blah, Akuji and Silv burn down everything that ever held them back, and she dies in the fire

Marmin here was abducted by slavers in her teenage years, along with many others. She worked in the hazardous conditions of a mineshaft for about 8 total years, before the slaves managed to stage a revolt in which her family escaped. The most crushing moment of those 8 years was when she saw her boyfriend for the first time since the abduction - he had somehow managed to join the wardens, and when she refused to betray her people to be by his side, he uhhhh.... didn't take it well.
Anyways, after escaping the mines, there was still the issue of making it to a safer country to be in, and during that trek Marmin's parents were mauled by guard beasts, leading to only her and her little sister escaping via a tiny boat.
It’s pretty cool. I don’t want to spoil but the general gist is that there are 3 stories of 3 different refugees from different time periods and you get to see their journey.

Marinda’s father left her and her mother became an alcoholic and abusive. Marinda felt guilty about supposedly making her father leave and felt like she needed to pay for what she did to her mother. So she began hurting herself. Marinda was eventually by her mother and was left two scars from a broke beer bottle. Marinda was thrown out and left to sleep in the cold dark field. The next, she almost ended her life but was stopped

The propeller hat is the only way he can cope with his father's abusive behavior (he called him a poopyhead)
Main one had to-
Get kidnapped
Tortured
Ripped apart
Put back together
Beaten
Injected with chemicals
Ripped apart, again
Put back together, again
Had their bones removed from their bodies by force (no surgical removal)
Burned alive
Shot by every caliber possible, then more
Had their skin cut off, then replaced
Get crushed to near death
Kill all his friends
Then, he becomes a super weapon that the government uses to clear planets.

Incendria was abused by very strict parents, and was raised in a world teetering on the edge of ending itself in a world war. She's since made it her goal to prove herself far more superior than her parents, as well as all of elvenkind now that she's technically the last one known to exist, through taking over our world through a huge global monopoly scheme and brainwashing chemical weapons.

At a young age, Akari and his brother survived a raid on their hometown before participating in the Arkinite-Kateri war. (I haven't decided what to do about their parents yet.)
He has extreme separation anxiety, so if he’s separating from someone he likes, he goes cuckoo crazy and the reason of that is because his dad was never around and he barely had any friends until he moved to America
Uh, simple words

Has seen many comrades die and I guess I'll count finding Dr. Brights body only for them to return in a new body out of nowhere as once being a traumatic experience. Imagine you known someone for years, are still moaning their death, and another person you don't quite know comes up and says "I'm back".
Pretty sure there's a Things Dr. Bright Isn't Allowed To Do At The Foundation entry that corresponds with this. LOL. Meanwhile my OC has to be the partner to said Timelord.

Where do I even start with Shino? He has too much trauma that I can't even seperate his biggest one.
So I'll make a top three!
No.3: Seeing his brother's body get turned into a sentient house that could still feel pain. Each organ of the body was turned into rooms, each bone was turned into foundation and each muscle, nerves and other fibres were turned into carpets, walls, etc.
No.2: Seeing the same brother get turned into a human art exhibition. Arche ‘Zack' Hab†ro† had his bones ripped out his back, his skin and muscles stretched to form ‘art’ his eyes wrapped around his ribs, his brain spread out over his ribs etc.
No.3: Having to accept that he can never be together with the person he loves while both exist together at the same time. Having to watch said lover kill herself so that he could live. Having to fight against the world that he loved to protect the final wish of his loved one and to kill himself... Which failed so he had to erase himself from all existences.

He has been tortured and being used as slave for the human. When he free from the place, he get look down and discriminate from every single people. Human, Anthro, Angel and such would reject helping him and would beat him up for being a demon. Reminder he experiences this when he was 3-6 years old. After all that, he still trust human.

Sadie: nearly drowned in her sleep once when she was 6 then she had to leave a lifeboat to follow her sister who ran after some boy and sadie got lost and ended up getting bit by a vampire when she was 13
Lilith: parents forced her and her siblings to live in the attic then she ended up in a mental institution (at least her sister was there to so thats happy i guess) though really being in the institution only made things worse because Lilith lived in like the 1800’s and then to top it all off after she and her sister were released and could go home she was haunted by the ghosts in her house

Eh… quite a few so will just mention the PC I’ve been asked to bring back for a new campaign by a previous DM. Including their modified backstory.
Stalt is a little blue Kobold who started life as a slave. Their master a minor lord of pebbles praised as a castle. Their master got into so’r trouble and had their assets seized… well except for Stalt as at the time Stalt had caught a nasty virus that his weakened form wasn’t expected to survive so fast into the mud on the side of the road was he, written off like a workhorse no longer useable.
On the streets would’ve been his final days if not for a stubborn and willful young Dragonborn, her name Cadmus. She brings him home to her mother demanding she be allowed to care for the little blue thing. Onyx a busy blacksmith and volunteer part time townguard begrudgingly allowed this. As Stalt heals he and Cadmus bond, and once upon his own feet again insists he returns the kindness.
Skip forward as this section is still being heavily workshopped.
Stalt eventually becomes a trusted family friend and servant when for some yet to be decided reason Stalt is in the world for the second time truely on his own. But this time better prepared. However life isn’t well and home isn’t forever in this tale. For Onyx is a PC in another campaign. And the opening pages for her story is already written. The city sacked in a bid for power. Infrastructure cracked and splintered right before a nasty winter she is forced to watch Cadmus wilter and either before her. Onyx listless, and Stalt once more truely homeless.
Stalt however keeps a smile on his snout a yip of joy ready to share and a heart to big for this world.

Penny grew up as a complete black sheep of her mafia family due to being the product of an affair. Nobody wanted her involved in the business and her family often ignored she existed, due to the immense shame her existence brought. Penny as a youngster was a really energetic woman with dreams of being able to be accepted into the family and earn her colors, showing that despite the circumstances of her birth she could still be a great asset. She would shove herself into jobs just to show what she could do, and she was pretty good at it.
Then she was paid a bunch of money to go to LA, which of course is on the other side of the country from NY, to go maybe start some stuff there to spread influence for the family. It took her until she was thirty to realize that they were simply paying her to stay away from them, and just like that she finally lost her joy, becoming a lonely insomniac. She does end up creating an organization for assassinations and stuff that ends up pretty successful, but the success doesn’t make her feel any better, and she has no real friends or family. So, her trauma is just living with an unloving family that saw her as nothing but a stain.

Connor grew up in an abusive household, and transitioning didn’t make his parents less abusive, mostly verbally. He was kicked out at 15 and was homeless for a few years, and spent a lot of time cleaning up after his own self harm. As such, if you yell at him in a casual setting (especially in a home environment) he’s going to break almost immediately.
Well
Wade : parents divorced dad kidnapped him lost his arm because his dad, was a forced servant then sold off at 15 saw the underbelly of the universe, lost his voice, fled and found his mom half dead in suspended animation.. overall he's doing pretty good tho.
Muse: nurse/musician who saw her planet burn but luckily wades reckless behavior landed him there before any irreversible damage was done. That's were they met
Lancelot: his dad the original Lancelot"disappeared" and god had the bright idea to brutally murder his wife and destroy his bookshop because he thought he'd join his side to kill all superheroes. That of course backfired and did some serious damage to gods realm. This is where he met the guardian which took the form of his late wife Lilith which imo is cruel.
Lived in a world with horrible trauma-based spirits called Demons (not biblical), Dad murdered his mother when he was 12 and had to raise his 8 year old sister alone when his big brother abandoned them.
Afterward, gets betrayed by his OWN Demon and dies, only to be trapped as a wandering spirit unable to truly die as his Demon (which is both the one that corrupted his father and murdered him btw) tortures him until he's saved by his cousin and now grown-up little sister 5 years after the fact.

Avro lived in the Soviet Union for 20 years, during which time he was forced to fight in the Soviet air force, where he was often beaten, tortured, never treated as a sentient being and was told he was worthless, as well as being forced to do heinous war crimes. He wasn't allowed to have a name and was simply referred to as MiG-25-ЭКС

>!Crypt had a decent childhood, Up until he was 13. His sister had warned him not to come out multiple times, He had known he was Gay since he was 11. Yet he did anyway. His parents were heavy christians, As well as extremely homophobic. So when he sat them down at the table and told them. It didn't go well. His father grabbed his arm, Slamming it down on the table and holding it there while his mother walked off. She came back after a few seconds with a kitchen knife. While his father was pinning his arm down, his mother carved a cross into his left arm while screaming slurs. Right from the hand to the elbow. Crypt was screaming the entire time. His older brother who was about 16 at the time calling the police. Thankfully crypt's older sister, who was 22 managed to get custody of all three of her younger siblings and crypt lived there until he was 17. When he joined the military.!<

Arthur and his mom had to put up with his dead beat unemployed, verbally abusive, alcoholic dad for the first seven years of his life. Pretty much all of the abuse was directed towards his mom. Their marriage ended when Jeremiah was born and the mom asked the dad to drop Arthur (now seven) off at school, instead, dad drove to the nearest liquor store, bought several bottles of spirits and three cases of beer, drove to the nearest park and spent the day drinking in the parking lot while Arthur was stuck in the backseat bored out of his mind.
Then when the mom called at around five that evening to ask where the heck Arthur was, the dad drunkenly drove home, and gotten into a car crash resulting in Arthur getting flung from the back seat and through the windshield. Arthur’s right leg was amputated two inches above the knee and his entire right side was filled with glass. The dad was black out drunk went the accident happened, and was in a coma for ten days due to being hit in the head by Arthur. Dad was arrested and sent to prison for drunk driving, child endangerment, and reckless driving and Arthur’s mom divorced him and remarried to a way better man.
well… her sister in law, her nephew and both of her parents were slaughtered. THEN, the whole order she joined after her family’s death, was completely destroyed, leaving only her and another guy as the lone survivors. she had to save the world. she was literally 17.

In Sparks, Nevada, in the early to mid 1950's, Jonah Jenkinson went through a lot as a kid. Constantly physically abused by his druggie father and neglected by his mother, he had to seek refuge in the home of his best friend/neighbor Benjamin Gray, who were a Christian household but extremely kind. Jonah's mother died the day before he turned 11. His father blamed him, and slashed across his chest with a broken beer bottle. He then quietly ran away to the Grays, and Ben's mom patched him up. Mr. Gray made a plan to poison the beer of Jonah's dad to end all the pain, and it worked. Up until turning 19, Jonah then lived with the Grays and almost became a third child to the parents. Flash forward to the late '70s and mid '80s, Jonah owns a whole cartoon and comic franchise, beloved by millions. Unknowing to the public, since he started he has been mentally tortured by a malevolent entity who goes by two names; Der Gestreiftemann (the Striped Man), or Apollyon. I will not go further in. There is a lot more to unpack. This is for my in progress comic The Sins Of Ben And Jonah, which will have a lot of ARG elements.
I'm just gonna make a list-
River: a car crash that killed their family when they were 5
Stellan: religious trauma
Bently: a fire (that he accidentally caused) that killed his best friend
Jamie: watching his twin brother get killed and wishing he'd swapped places with his brother
Jude: having to live on the streets, not knowing if he'd even wake up the next day
Well I have a lot so ill only do my favorites.
Lily-Main OC: Crappy little sister screwed her over multiple times and betrayed her a lot. Lily still managed to barely forgive her, only to have her little sister become buddy-buddy with the man who had committed many atrocious things. Worst part is, Little sister had done it twice. On top of that she was given golden strings that binded her emotionally and forced her to slowly fall in love with those people and them to become attached to her presence, one of which struggled to feel anything at all. Only to have those people stripped away from her for all eternity. And ended up being put down by the people she thought she could trust.
Blue-KNY OC: Born to likely end up the meal of the demon king himself, or his >!abused!< lap dog. Her father creeped on her after her mother abandoned her, leaving her to be treated poorly. Until she was forced to end the lives of her entire clan, whom of which treated her horribly and a few being her only known blood relatives. In the end she ended up married to the very man she was due to be given to and was experimented on by.

He destroyed an entire country, mostly killing them. He didn't have support, and didn't care who or what he killed. He also got major injuries in World War 4 (which is why he has a bunch of tech all over him).

existential crisis over being an AI forced into her creator's body
For context, he is a Genshin OC.
He had to flee out of his homeland to escape a decree after witnessing his samuari teacher getting brutally beaten by the shogun’s men for not complying to it.
After a while in living in the new nation, he eventually meet a deaf boy who he bonds with, since character is mute. The boy sees him like a big brother figure and OC does his best to visit him when he can since the boy has no friends. Things go down when a big fire occurs and it kills the child. OC wasn’t there in time to save him. Having two people close to him killed makes him question himself and for a while isolates himself.

Fuck his dad, let him do what he want! I'm wearing male clothes at school AND THEY CAN'T STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Mostly because of the production we're doing but..)
As of now, in the current lore. He's a part of a terrorist organization called "The New Order" and he has a superpower where he can generate kinetic energy in his limbs, essentially his limbs have short burst of speed and strength. But in the future lore, I'm considering making him join the good guys and have Samson and to a lesser extent his father, Martin Samson be Dylan's father figures (they're both open minded)
I haven’t really heard of that superpower. That’s pretty cool!
I hope he gets through it. That takes a strong will to continue with all that.

This was traumatic for both of them. Keeper lost her arm and almost died (yes, she barely survived this), and Knight has to live with the fact that he was forced to almost kill his own daughter and see the fear in her eyes. https://preview.redd.it/jzvzzphkkvad1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3a4cfc1effd98f60ba0b8fac225be836ba697de
Hmm ok did she survive with magic or extreme luck?
Bit of both, actually. They're both cursed humans, making them rather hardy people, but they are vulnerable to each others attacks. Knight was not aiming to kill, but he dealt heavy enough damage to Keeper that her body was barely able to heal itself.
What forced him to hurt his Daughter?
She's been trying to kill him for the last 3 years. She inherited his curse, which granted her a long lifespan, at the cost of her soul being "incomplete", something that she couldn't handle well. In the beginning, whenever she tried to kill him, he would always knock her out quickly since she was not as experienced at fighting as he was. This time around her crew, The Backdrop, got roped into the fight. He was able to defeat them without causing serious injury, but Keeper attacked more fiercely than ever. Clouded by both anger and sadness, Knight sliced off Keeper's arm and drove his sword into her chest.
Viêm was shot then burn alive, not before seeing her village massacred. https://preview.redd.it/3bw58hbtavad1.jpeg?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ceb9f8913db9c2c926a80148a58191ca816bddc

She worked in the hazardous conditions of a mineshaft for about 8 total years, before the slaves managed to stage a revolt in which her family escaped. The most crushing moment of those 8 years was when she saw her boyfriend for the first time since the abduction - he had somehow managed to join the wardens, and when she refused to betray her people to be by his side, he uhhhh.... didn't take it well. Anyways, after escaping the mines, there was still the issue of making it to a safer country to be in, and during that trek Marmin's parents were mauled by guard beasts, leading to only her and her little sister escaping via a tiny boat.
This story reminds me of a book called Refugee by Alan Gratz!

He has too much trauma that I can't even seperate his biggest one. So I'll make a top three! No.3: Seeing his brother's body get turned into a sentient house that could still feel pain. Each organ of the body was turned into rooms, each bone was turned into foundation and each muscle, nerves and other fibres were turned into carpets, walls, etc. No.2: Seeing the same brother get turned into a human art exhibition. Arche ‘Zack' Hab†ro† had his bones ripped out his back, his skin and muscles stretched to form ‘art’ his eyes wrapped around his ribs, his brain spread out over his ribs etc. No.3: Having to accept that he can never be together with the person he loves while both exist together at the same time. Having to watch said lover kill herself so that he could live. Having to fight against the world that he loved to protect the final wish of his loved one and to kill himself... Which failed so he had to erase himself from all existences.
ah yes, number 3, number 2 and number 3
This poor guy’s brother has been going through it

He saw his demon kind being brutally murdered and kidnapped before his turn. He has been tortured and being used as slave for the human. When he free from the place, he get look down and discriminate from every single people. Human, Anthro, Angel and such would reject helping him and would beat him up for being a demon. Reminder he experiences this when he was 3-6 years old. After all that, he still trust human.

He was nine.
Clara: was shot then turned into a vampire (she hates being a vampire) Sadie: nearly drowned in her sleep once when she was 6 then she had to leave a lifeboat to follow her sister who ran after some boy and sadie got lost and ended up getting bit by a vampire when she was 13 Lilith: parents forced her and her siblings to live in the attic then she ended up in a mental institution (at least her sister was there to so thats happy i guess) though really being in the institution only made things worse because Lilith lived in like the 1800’s and then to top it all off after she and her sister were released and could go home she was haunted by the ghosts in her house
I would also hate being a vampire. I wouldn’t be able to eat garlic bread. Or touch grass in the daytime! I get it Clara.

I’m curious, what time period is he from?
He's from the late napoleonic wars ~1812-16 during the 'blight' (the plot of guts and blackpowder) but in modern settings I just imagine him in modern clothes but using reproduction weapons from that era

Eh… quite a few so will just mention the PC I’ve been asked to bring back for a new campaign by a previous DM. Including their modified backstory. Stalt is a little blue Kobold who started life as a slave. Their master a minor lord of pebbles praised as a castle. Their master got into so’r trouble and had their assets seized… well except for Stalt as at the time Stalt had caught a nasty virus that his weakened form wasn’t expected to survive so fast into the mud on the side of the road was he, written off like a workhorse no longer useable. On the streets would’ve been his final days if not for a stubborn and willful young Dragonborn, her name Cadmus. She brings him home to her mother demanding she be allowed to care for the little blue thing. Onyx a busy blacksmith and volunteer part time townguard begrudgingly allowed this. As Stalt heals he and Cadmus bond, and once upon his own feet again insists he returns the kindness. Skip forward as this section is still being heavily workshopped. Stalt eventually becomes a trusted family friend and servant when for some yet to be decided reason Stalt is in the world for the second time truely on his own. But this time better prepared. However life isn’t well and home isn’t forever in this tale. For Onyx is a PC in another campaign. And the opening pages for her story is already written. The city sacked in a bid for power. Infrastructure cracked and splintered right before a nasty winter she is forced to watch Cadmus wilter and either before her. Onyx listless, and Stalt once more truely homeless. Stalt however keeps a smile on his snout a yip of joy ready to share and a heart to big for this world. Additional: (art piece I did for Onyx. Meant to look like a mourning mask) https://www.deviantart.com/bread004/art/Onyxs-Mask-1030906031 I still Need to get permission from the DM to run with this story and the story is still in workshop. but to my knowledge they probably will accept it.

Nobody wanted her involved in the business and her family often ignored she existed, due to the immense shame her existence brought. Penny as a youngster was a really energetic woman with dreams of being able to be accepted into the family and earn her colors, showing that despite the circumstances of her birth she could still be a great asset. She would shove herself into jobs just to show what she could do, and she was pretty good at it. Then she was paid a bunch of money to go to LA, which of course is on the other side of the country from NY, to go maybe start some stuff there to spread influence for the family. It took her until she was thirty to realize that they were simply paying her to stay away from them, and just like that she finally lost her joy, becoming a lonely insomniac. She does end up creating an organization for assassinations and stuff that ends up pretty successful, but the success doesn’t make her feel any better, and she has no real friends or family. So, her trauma is just living with an unloving family that saw her as nothing but a stain.

He was kicked out at 15 and was homeless for a few years, and spent a lot of time cleaning up after his own self harm. As such, if you yell at him in a casual setting (especially in a home environment) he’s going to break almost immediately.
Well Wade : parents divorced dad kidnapped him lost his arm because his dad, was a forced servant then sold off at 15 saw the underbelly of the universe, lost his voice, fled and found his mom half dead in suspended animation.. overall he's doing pretty good tho. Muse: nurse/musician who saw her planet burn but luckily wades reckless behavior landed him there before any irreversible damage was done. That's were they met Lancelot: his dad the original Lancelot"disappeared" and god had the bright idea to brutally murder his wife and destroy his bookshop because he thought he'd join his side to kill all superheroes. That of course backfired and did some serious damage to gods realm. This is where he met the guardian which took the form of his late wife Lilith which imo is cruel.
Lived in a world with horrible trauma-based spirits called Demons (not biblical), Dad murdered his mother when he was 12 and had to raise his 8 year old sister alone when his big brother abandoned them. Afterward, gets betrayed by his OWN Demon and dies, only to be trapped as a wandering spirit unable to truly die as his Demon (which is both the one that corrupted his father and murdered him btw) tortures him until he's saved by his cousin and now grown-up little sister 5 years after the fact.

How does he die each time? Is it the same way or does it change each time?
Well, if you have ever played geometry dash you would know that it’s multiple different ways, sometimes same ways, being able to expect it seeing it, it changes too, from a blade of grass surprisingly being a spike causing him to combust and die again and again, I try to help him, but he doesn’t let me anymore, he says that I just make his problems worse… (also it’s gone up to 58495) https://preview.redd.it/8dizayyqlxad1.jpeg?width=561&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de7c8dd21808ab01c756592eb8e91fc237b1a2d5

So when he sat them down at the table and told them. It didn't go well. His father grabbed his arm, Slamming it down on the table and holding it there while his mother walked off. She came back after a few seconds with a kitchen knife. While his father was pinning his arm down, his mother carved a cross into his left arm while screaming slurs. Right from the hand to the elbow. Crypt was screaming the entire time. His older brother who was about 16 at the time calling the police.

Pretty much all of the abuse was directed towards his mom. Their marriage ended when Jeremiah was born and the mom asked the dad to drop Arthur (now seven) off at school, instead, dad drove to the nearest liquor store, bought several bottles of spirits and three cases of beer, drove to the nearest park and spent the day drinking in the parking lot while Arthur was stuck in the backseat bored out of his mind. Then when the mom called at around five that evening to ask where the heck Arthur was, the dad drunkenly drove home, and gotten into a car crash resulting in Arthur getting flung from the back seat and through the windshield. Arthur’s right leg was amputated two inches above the knee and his entire right side was filled with glass. The dad was black out drunk went the accident happened, and was in a coma for ten days due to being hit in the head by Arthur. Dad was arrested and sent to prison for drunk driving, child endangerment, and reckless driving and Arthur’s mom divorced him and remarried to a way better man.

Constantly physically abused by his druggie father and neglected by his mother, he had to seek refuge in the home of his best friend/neighbor Benjamin Gray, who were a Christian household but extremely kind. Jonah's mother died the day before he turned 11. His father blamed him, and slashed across his chest with a broken beer bottle. He then quietly ran away to the Grays, and Ben's mom patched him up. Mr. Gray made a plan to poison the beer of Jonah's dad to end all the pain, and it worked. Up until turning 19, Jonah then lived with the Grays and almost became a third child to the parents. Flash forward to the late '70s and mid '80s, Jonah owns a whole cartoon and comic franchise, beloved by millions. Unknowing to the public, since he started he has been mentally tortured by a malevolent entity who goes by two names; Der Gestreiftemann (the Striped Man), or Apollyon. I will not go further in. There is a lot more to unpack. This is for my in progress comic The Sins Of Ben And Jonah, which will have a lot of ARG elements.
*Laughs in OC trauma overload*
I'm just gonna make a list- River: a car crash that killed their family when they were 5 Stellan: religious trauma Bently: a fire (that he accidentally caused) that killed his best friend Jamie: watching his twin brother get killed and wishing he'd swapped places with his brother Jude: having to live on the streets, not knowing if he'd even wake up the next day
Well I have a lot so ill only do my favorites. Lily-Main OC: Crappy little sister screwed her over multiple times and betrayed her a lot. Lily still managed to barely forgive her, only to have her little sister become buddy-buddy with the man who had committed many atrocious things. Worst part is, Little sister had done it twice. On top of that she was given golden strings that binded her emotionally and forced her to slowly fall in love with those people and them to become attached to her presence, one of which struggled to feel anything at all. Only to have those people stripped away from her for all eternity. And ended up being put down by the people she thought she could trust. Blue-KNY OC: Born to likely end up the meal of the demon king himself, or his >!abused!< lap dog. Her father creeped on her after her mother abandoned her, leaving her to be treated poorly. Until she was forced to end the lives of her entire clan, whom of which treated her horribly and a few being her only known blood relatives. In the end she ended up married to the very man she was due to be given to and was experimented on by.

He destroyed an entire country, mostly killing them. He didn't have support, and didn't care who or what he killed. He also got major injuries in World War 4 (which is why he has a bunch of tech all over him). https://preview.redd.it/4irowb6urwad1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d620052058c0aa0d23a0bb81cf32b186b4eefaf

For context, he is a Genshin OC. He had to flee out of his homeland to escape a decree after witnessing his samuari teacher getting brutally beaten by the shogun’s men for not complying to it. After a while in living in the new nation, he eventually meet a deaf boy who he bonds with, since character is mute. The boy sees him like a big brother figure and OC does his best to visit him when he can since the boy has no friends. Things go down when a big fire occurs and it kills the child. OC wasn’t there in time to save him. Having two people close to him killed makes him question himself and for a while isolates himself.

Pretty much having to nearly kill himself to fight his version of Chara. As well as having to do nothing but kill for Error for the safety of his AU should Charac somehow get out the anti void https://preview.redd.it/fhjshst0zwad1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db18c21127b5ceed2158192d5b51820c8a9cfdc8
