How would that fighting style even work? I seriously want a look into this guy's mind.

You're making me reach back into some repressed memories, but I recall something about the arms swinging around and attacking like snakes, which makes even less sense.

I feel like I get off pretty easy reading these lmao. The worst I've gotten recently is when discussing plot, rp partner wanted her side to start off with this doozy
[crush] see's her oc naked and is all 'OMG SO HOT'. Oc's family (in an attempt to get her oc laid) invites him to dinner after knowing full well that [crush] just got an eyeful of oc naked and then they bang and start going out.
They wanted that to BEGIN the rp with like... what? And the kicker is they approached me saying they wanted a more serious, down to earth style rp. just... ?????

Reminds me of an RP I saw on a much different forum. Within four-six posts, this happens:
Character A bumps into Character B.
Character B apologizes and offers to help Character A find their classroom.
Character A compliments Character B.
Character B compliments them back and leads them away.
Character A kisses Character B and confesses.
They start making out in the pool.
Every aspect of the interaction blew my mind.

Honestly, its so cringe. Like, don't get me wrong there's a certain level of wish-fulfillment in all rps (especially cannon/oc ones like this particular example of mine) but like... could you be a little less obvious about it?

ooh I have plenty of stories!
A favorite of mine was one of those gruff veterans at the ripe old age of 19. Scouted by the military at ~16 for gun skills, because that's a real thing. He spent about half of the CS describing all the weapons he owned (in what I assume was accurate detail - I don't know enough about guns to know). The other half was spent describing how much women like him and fall at his feet. At the site I was on, I had a link to a list of some of my favorite OCs to use. He requested playing against my succubus and asked for her to basically change completely. He wanted her to fall head over heels because he's buff and manly or whatever when she's supposed to be pretty emotionless and cruel towards every human. Not to mention, his character was supposedly Christian.
I still think of questions I wish I asked him at the time. Did his character make the Navy Seal copypasta? Was it all a ruse to exorcise the demon?

My strangest experience has to be on a roleplay a few years ago on this site. I was an archangel field marshal subservient to the angel pope. The context of the roleplay don't really matter, as this took place in the OOC section, but essentially myself and another guy (his character was a fallen angel, I believe) engaged in IC rap battle. Two rounds. Apparently I won by matter of popular vote. He got mad, and told me he frequented a lyrical rap forum for a few years. Was very bizarre.

“Someone else always has to carry on the story...”
Ah, here's a gem from my brief history of steam-roleplays.
So a friend of a friend invited me to a 'Pre-World-War 2' Roleplay where each character would be a important figurehead/Staff members for a country of their choice. I decided that I would take the role of Soviet chief of internal security aka The NKVD. From what I recall, the majority of the players chose to be part of either the Soviet Union, Germany and the USA which was great as I saw it as communism vs fascism vs democracy battlefield. Since the main leaders could easily decide not to focus their efforts of being historical, it was plausible for a American-Soviet war to kick off with Germany sitting on the side-lines, biding their time and gathering resources.. etc..
The cringe part? Well, as the head of internal security; all diplomats to the Soviet-Union would have to first register with me as I would enquire their reasoning to visit (a roleplay sketch in of itself) and a few further details like any requests in regards to security, travel and accommodation. A role I was taking with the upmost seriousness as I felt the other members were a varied bunch of Steam RP veterans, folk that do roleplaying but not that often on steam and a few completely new players. Sometime after the beginning of the roleplay I was contacted by 'The' German Chancellor, he requested a diplomatic visit to Moscow in order to speak to Soviet head of State. I firstly passed on the message to the head of state about the visit before planning the journey whilst I waited for approval. Two days later, the visit was approved and I contacted the German Chancellor once more, laying out their schedule, highlighting what security would be in-position to protect them as well as giving a short list of what security they would be allowed to bring with them (Nothing special, armed guards, fighter wing to escort a few transport planes and a couple of armoured cars to protect any convoys).
All seemed to be going well, I sat back whilst other Soviet ministers spoke under mutted breath saying how I should've lowered the amount of guards they could take and possibly set up a ambush of my own to kill the Chancellor but all in all I wasn't looking to kick-start a world war. I was doing my job to keep the Soviet Union safe from any diplomatic incidents, I couldn't care less about conflict for I believed in order through peaceful talks and negotiations whilst others were just interested in taking over the world.
Alas, the Chancellor arrived in Moscow with a small convoy of formal cars as well as the two armoued cars but they arrived ahead in time to ensure the Soviet reception was appropiately well-prepared. As a man of commitment, I had ordered three NKVD divisions to patrol the city in search of any hidden cells (Foreign or Soviet). Streets were closed and the Kremlin's medical staff were all in attendance to prepare for any kind of emergencies. The skies above were littered with fighter aircraft, keeping a eye out for any sign of trouble from either the ground or the air. Fair to say, I wasn't taking any chances, I even switched out the Kremlin's guards and staff just prior to the visit in case of anyone being double-agents or assassins.
Sadly, with all my planning and preperation... it all went down the drain for the German Chancellor decided to 'Throw the rulebook out the window' and magically appeared with a Tiger 2 tank surrounded by guards armed with MG42s. In a flurry of posts, the tank had been teleported from Germany to Moscow in a plane which landed in the city(?), the Chancellor hopped out of his diplomatic car with all his guards, mounted the vehicle and began to "Invade the Soviet Union whilst the German Army marched as well" (I think he forgot Poland existed...)
And with Moscow burned to the ground by a single tank and the Soviet Union destoryed in less than a hour, I left in quite a huff and feeling like my time had been wasted. So there you go folks, a double dose of cringe.. my attempts to preform the duties I was assigned to do and a German Chancellor that might as well been the 3rd Reich's Rambo.

This was my own experience of simply reviewing an OC from a Halo RP. For those in the know, the canon year was around 2558.
>Name is 'Lynda Palmer'.
> Age is 19 (fair enough..?)
> Year of enlistment into UNSC Marines was, and I quote, "Somewhere between 2552 and 2558."
>Bio stated that this was the daughter of Cmdr. Sarah Palmer (red flag #1)
>Graduated UNSCMC BCT with 'exemplary standards,' was immediately recommended ODST training at the request of Sarah Palmer herself.
>Finished within the year, with the role being Scout Sniper with cross training as a Combat Medic. (Traditionally speaking, it takes YEARS to finish Special Forces School, and a bit longer to receive a specialist MOS. Cross training is indeed possible, but this was on the level of HCS field medic nd a Scout Sniper role combined.)
So here's a character who's an ODST (Special Forces) Scout Sniper/Combat Medic, 19 years old and is a blood relative of a canon character. Those aren't the worst ones, as anyone who's played Halo RP's on games like Garrysmod could do me one better.

“Someone else always has to carry on the story...”
Aye, it's appreciated. To this day I still feel a bit wound up as tbh.. I looked to be the only person who actually bothered to not pursue war the minute we started the roleplay. I don't always understand why folk want nothing more than to rule the world.. just gets boring after that.. nothing to do.
I'll give it a try!
> Name is John Important-Person-Main-Character-Stiglitz
> Age is 21 years old as it makes me cool and adult-like
> Year of englistment into the UNSC Marines: 10 November 1775, on the first day, John single-handedly defeated the British with a Anime-length sword and a 800 Pound Cannon strapped to his 'intimidating' forearm.
> Direct desendent of John 117 and the Arbiter as they had a love-child born into a womb of napalm and pure patriotism.
> Finished his training within two seconds as he was obviously too smart to even step foot on a military training facility, later given the entire galaxies' military under his sole command as with a single mutter of "Murica.." any enemy within 10,000,000km would instantly blow up in an atomic explosion the size of two Statues of Liberty.
> His MOS states him as a Sniper, Medic, Captain, Engineer, Crewman, Chaplin, Refugee, Holy-Warrior Qualified and has served with honour, earning the Purple Heart 1.6m times.
> Has a German Shepard called "Bork." that speaks to him in a language that only they know.

That is messed up in eight different ways that I can't comprehend in which or where to start with. The amalgamation of I've seen Naval Captains who double as ONI Field Operators. Meaning that, yes, they come on deployments and essentially leave the ship unmanned. It's a whole new world of people either not knowing or just trying to test the waters before they're caught. EDIT: 'englistment' hurts my brain.

Not many stories of my own but I have some second hand stories that a friend of mine told me.
So she has this really cringely friend. And he's just... the worst. But also hilarious.
So on one roleplay he mispelled a whole bunch of stuff on his CS so it said his character came from a "futuristic". Also in that same roleplay there was a heartwarming moment going on between the characters. One character was gonna make another breakfast to comfort him because he had a traumatic time recently and the aformentioned bad roleplayer ruined it by decid8ng that there was a "food materializer" on the room. When people complained instead of deleting his post he instead had his character say that he thought it was a food materializer but was actually a coffee machine.
A more horrifying thing is when in another rp he stabbed my friend's character to prove that that character wasn't immortal because that's just what you do apparently (to be clear, the aformentioned character was immortal not invulnerable). In the same roleplay he introduced a character who was a baby but also a dog but also a baby that was the most perverted thing ever and constantly stared at the "female" (say that in the same voice as you would say something like "nyeh"). And thus, my friend and her friends never let him have full story control ever again.

The replies I've been getting on this are amazing, so:
19? A veteran at 19? Is that-- is that even legal?
Also, there's a special place in hell for characters like this. It's kind of annoying how people assume that just because their character is so "badass" and "edgy" that women should be falling head over heels for them. What ever happened to naturally letting a relationship form throughout the RP?
I guess it's just a way of boosting their ego, in any case. And that makes it worse.
Dude, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that rap battle. At first I thought, "oh, it's just an archangel and a fallen angel rapping against each other" but then the other dude snapped and I was like, "oh, yeah that's cringey."
Theoretical knowledge doesn't always apply to experience. Guy may have read on a lyrical rap forum, but that doesn't mean he's got what it takes to write up some of his own.
Did the GM or mod of the RP ever do anything about this? This sounds like serious powerplaying on the German guy's end. You can't just burn down Moscow like that if, I assume, another character has the rights to do whatever the hell they want with it.
Also, this guy forgot Poland existed. That's the saddest part of this story.
Hey man, if it helps, I used to be an edgy, scarred Sceptile named Zaber based off the very first starter I've had in my very first Pokemon game.
And, as a bonus, I saw one guy who made his character a werewolf (an honest to god werewolf, to the point of it being a furry almost) in a fanfiction for Doki Doki Literature Club. His literal explanation was just "the main character is a werewolf and asexual, please don't ask or question".
Fanfiction.net truly has its own backlog of cringey OCs.
Ah, that sounds like the hallmarks of just a new roleplayer trying to be all "uwu random"--
--oh sweet jesus. You had me at "a character who was a baby but also a dog but also a baby". Do babies/puppies/whatever this guy is even have the mental capacity to be perverted? Because...that just sounds...ew.

There's one more, and this happened to be a while ago. Halo OC (my own), Spartan-II Commando. If there was ever a 'cringe-so-hard-then-die-laughing' moment, this was by far the best for me. The exchange went something like this after my Spartan repeatedly was advanced onto by an ODST:
"Listen, Sam... I like you. You're not like the other Spartans. Would you like to... I don't know, have a relationship with me?"
"If you try and have sex with me, I'll break you in half."
"Listen, Sam... I like you. You're not like the other Spartans. Would you like to... I don't know, have a relationship with me?"
"If you try and have sex with me, I'll break you in half."

Did the ODST ever take the hint that your character wasn't into them that way?

Nope. Not until that very moment, because as soon as my Spartan said that it became clear that that was their mission objective- which had just been thwarted by the threat of overkill death if such were to even happen. This wasn't the first time with them either; they went around almost like a sexual conquistador trying to ERP anyone who showed a bit of attention. While rare (at least for me), ERP-obsessed characters are something in themselves to behold.

- One of my first roleplays on some RP site, the user told me that there could be absolutely no conflict and that they craved a furry RP. I was too nice back then... I agreed, and they then stated how their alien furry could not be in conflict whatsoever. Their character was a reptilian I believe, and the reptilian was depicted rather sexually. It disturbed my wee self because I had never seen someone make an inverted belly button and burping sexual. I went along with it for a bit until their 20-30 story tall alien reptile popped up in the middle of NY city, right by a FBI field office. I mentioned how unrealistic it would be if their character didn't see any retaliation or conflict... they did not like that.
That was by far the most cringe-worthy RP I can think of. I am sure I have been a part of cringe worthy experiences and characters myself (if I have, I am so very sorry).
