If you've been seeing me around often in the vast amount of discussion forums and threads here on RPN, you would probably know that I am a sucker for cringe. Be it OCs, fanfiction, original stories, or roleplays, I will eat it up and die if it is cringey. It's like willfully ingesting poison because it hurts so bad that it's good.
So, I wanna ask everyone here- do you have any experiences with RPs or OCs that made you cringe to hell and back? I've certainly got a few under my belt from old RP sites.
- Context: RP was based on a local, surreal horror story where I live where someone steals memories from people using high-tech, VR machines. New player joined as an orphaned girl who somehow had a very expensive VR console and ripped off almost every single character in our group. My character murdered his father? Boom, she murdered her caretaker at the ripe age of six. My friend's character took the identity of her twin sister who was murdered? Boom! She has a twin sister too but their caretaker murdered her, oh noez!!1!1!! I really wanted to have mercy on this player since they were new, but...god, I just couldn't with that character.
- My old underclassman and his comics. His main OC was a half-demon half-human who "accidentally became the harbinger of death", has a little sister who he treats like his daughter but she's totally in love with him, and used two scythes. TWO SCYTHES. This was before the release of Blackflame Friede in Dark Souls 3 too!
- Same underclassman. I asked my old friends to help me out with creating characters for a VR game story I was planning. He submitted almost the exact same character but ripped off Kirito as well. "Beta tester" backstory and everything. His character was also only 17.
- I knew a player on an old RPing site that, for lack of a better term, would suck up to GMs. All their characters always had to have some sort of connection with the GM's characters, without GM's consent. I should know, because they've done that to me. I had half-breed characters, of which two already had romantic feelings for one another. Enter the player with their neko characters and chain katana (I'm not kidding. A katana that worked like a chainsaw.) as they spent 90% of the RP trying to hit on my characters.
- One of my best friends in high school made a self-insert named Eiji Blanco Smith with yet another damned chain katana. He was pretty much writing fanfiction of our daily lives except me and the two other guys who were his friends were NOT there. His story had a maid who didn't want to serve, so she built a time machine and travelled back in time only to end up serving under Eiji Smith anyway, he replaced his IRL little sister with a typical anime tsundere little sister and fought a "demon" who randomly interrupted our mandatory military training session just to fight Eiji Smith.
I could go on for decades, but I really wanna hear from this community. What about you guys? Have any encounters like that in RPs?
