Creation.

Probably around the time his genetalia was removed by a god as punishment for his finagling with a hot daemon.
>>47776298
Chargen.
Attempting to contact the god of death. Turns out the deities of the setting don't like getting pestered by mortals.

When his father, the BBEG, created him
The moment I rolled up a swarm of midgets. This was in Gamma World mind you.
Approximately 217 years before the game started(fucking cryogenics) when he realized the reason most cryptozoologists are scam artists because that's the only way to earn a living.
>>47776381
>the BBEG created him
Don't let that stop you.
>>47776298
In backstory:
>When the elven god of magic smote nearly his entire family save him and his brother for petty reasons
>When the human deity his brother left to worship labeled him worthless due to his failure to die in defense of the shrine, leaving him to die in a gutter
In campaign:
>When the rest of the party went full retard and decided "push every button on the puzzle until something happens" was a viable strategy.
>Also when despite all his efforts to help people and make the town better he was derided and mistrusted by everyone around him.

You don't need a hand to hold a shield, just buckle it to your arm
>>47776298

>>47776298
When I chose theKnowledgeDomain
>>47776778
Perusing the player's handbook, the only shields required the use of a hand. But yeah, that's my best plan at the moment. Group's on break though so I might not get a chance to even continue that character.
>>47776802
you poor poor soul
I made a wizard archeologist who was stuck working for a Dragon Queen because he didn't recognize her authority and refused to pay taxes on his wizard tower. She knocked it down. It used to be his parents' wizard tower before they they went missing investigating a mysterious traveling ruin.
Not only did that Wizard hate dragons and was forced to work for one, he managed to find that mysterious ruin over the course of his adventure but had no time to investigate it properly for archeological significance nor for the bodies of his dead parents because the fate of the world was at stake. His lifelong fairy friend-familiar died in that ruin shortly after at the hands of an eldritch monster that brain-raped the wizard, damaged his mind which is his most prized quality and once it was slain had the curious effect of erasing everybody's memories that the fight had even happened. So he couldn't even remember why his fairy friend died. And even after saving the fucking multiverse he was still stuck working for that fucking loathsome dragon.
>>47776315
He should have ask said daemon for compensation.
>>47776298
When he watched all his friends die horribly though a tv screen, and it was all his fault.

When the DM decided that dead family and friends equals good story writing.
Everyone she knows and cares about?
Gone without a single roll, all of them off-screen and all of them to an unnamed, unknown group that left absolutely no evidence behind and even destroyed absolutely everything they owned so I couldn't even take anything as a momento, sell for some cash or use myself.
Including everything in the locked crate which we had to unlock first.
So they opened the crate, broke everything beyond repair and then relocked the crate while also somehow breaking it so I couldn't take it myself.
But how? They had some pretty advanced technology with them and defence turrets around the camp?

When I decided to play a Netural Evil Drow Assassin in an all good party.

Note: Casting time spells close to death is never a good idea, something will always get fucked up.Our storyteller ruled however that even though the above would be true, he'd handwave the idea that our past selves could gain some limited precognition to change some actions to cause different events to take place, but we just moved on to another game instead.

Up until then it was all about going on adventures and performing daring heists and wooing Tieflings. After that? No just cause. No "greater good." All for revenge. And then when you get it you realize it's so hollow because you're in too deep and now you have to extend your revenge to seven more of these weirdos and every jackass they've conned into helping them. We'll never be that gentleman thief living in the lap of luxury. Just a soldier who dies before he grows old.

The kung-fu hero of Wuxia died because I talked to a girl I was crushing on.
A warrior who escaped servitude of a band of powerful wizards, who had enslaved his religious colony (among other groups) with a legion of golems. Joined a small band of treasure hunters to make a name for himself, planning on using money and influence to lead an army to go the crystal city in the mountains to the west and depose the mages that lived there. Ultimately, the small band saved several cities from a different and older evil, thanks in no part to a magical sword which had been lost to time deep within a forgotten catacomb, which not only struck the incorporeal with powerful light, but sealed the souls of that which it destroyed within it.
He got his happy ending. But while I originally intended to have him slip down a moral slope of justifying worse and worse offenses in the name of justice and revenge against his hated enemies, the rest of the party didn't respond well to how things were going, which they expressed in and out of character. So I changed directions, had him instead realize what he was doing, reconvert to the faith he had once abandoned, and ultimately accomplish his goals driven by love and obligation, rather than hate.
But then I was GM for the next campaign. And in one session, a character died in a particularly stupid way. So I took pity, and death offered him a choice. Travel to a forgotten iron cities in the mountains to the west, and destroy an artifact within, an ancient blade which contained many souls long overdue for release. If he agreed to complete this task by the end of winter, he would be revived, for keeps, and of course he did. And after fighting dozens of various undead in the decaying citidel, they came to the throne room to find what they were looking for. The king of the fortress stood before them, coated in rusted plate and wielding a shiny claymore. His body shriveled and pale, like a lich's but not truly undead. The mage cast a spell to make the king fear his own blade, but nothing happened; he already did.
>>47781705
The money's good, yeah, but there's always some hidden catch, something that when added in to the total makes it so your just a little worse off than when you started. Scaly bastards.

Playing a bard. We have mission to steal corrupted priest and bring him to elves.
We come into church at the prayer time, wait until it ends and approach priest to bluff a little bit, to say what we're here to protect him.
He suspects something fishy and does not let go the flock yet.
I didn't like the way it turns and decided to tell the people truth about priest, and the fact that elves attacking village because of him.
Duel of wits and words with priest and I lose it. Our wizard burns alive nearly 40 commoners before my eyes to save our lives.

>>47776298
When he tried to avoid the plot. I retired the character and basically said he fucked off as far away from the land-of-always-in-peril to settle down in a small town and make money as a doctor/alchemist.
So of course, next campaign, it turns out that some ultra zealous Paladins decided to purge the town because they had a strict no magic policy.
Long story short, he ended up trading his soul to a demon to save the town and in doing so became the host for the new evil sweeping the land of seriously-why-do-people-even-bother-living-here?

When the Russians captured Smolensk.
not my most recent charachter but:
When he was the only one with initiative, jumped off a speeding coach in a corner of the road, over a river, trying to finish off a dragon, it was a do-or-die situation.
he had to make an attack in mid-air onto a waiting dragon about to do a breath attack and melt to coach, the party, and the surrounding countryside.
he fumbled his attack, got his arm bitten off an floated down the river, losing his +1 sword, talon. presumed dead/alive.

Right at the end of character creation.
He's a Classic Traveller character, so his background was all randomly generated. Apparently he used to have a nice cushy position as an officer in the stellar navy. Stable, respectable, reasonably safe. And for some stupid fucking reason (ie: because the game requires it) he quit after 16 years, and now lives as some sort of space gypsy. He's 34 years old, has a mere 22,000 credits to his name, gets a pittance of a pension every year, and "owns" a shitty starship that's mortgaged out the ass, which he'll be paying off for the rest of his life.

Rolan Fortree, Cleric of Life, did attempt to teach his party members that murdering his fiance was evil, and that it wasn't a great way to force him to stay in the party, but they honestly thought that if she was taken out of the picture then he'd have nowhere to go other than stay as their healer.
Unfortunately, as a healer who never killed or really fought a soul in the whole 2yr campaign, his little rebellion ended with the other members beating the ever loving fuck out of him for betraying them and putting the lives of citizens and wife above their own.
It was pretty brutal desu, left a poor taste in my mouth for the DandD alignment system
(the main culprit believed that he was chaotic good for slaying her, because he thought it would make Rolan stay in the party, where he would be put to use as a healer for heroes, whose job it was to save the world and such, but ultimately all the party seemed to do was murder guards and wizards for loot)
In the end, the cleric became a hermit outside a small village in the middle of nowhere, healing the sick when needed, or sorting out bandits whenever they came to town, but when he wasn't needed he would go back to his cave .

He hasn't show up again since, I assume from work but probably that whole situation really made us wonder why we played with him.
>>47791667
Wow. Smite that dick ass monk, pray to your god to resurrect him, then smite him again even harder. Normally I'm against killing other players but damn if it isn't justified in this case. Cleave and smite anon, even if your not a paladin. Cleave and smite.
>>47791950
I could easily do it. I've actually gone on to defeat a several thousand strong army using those avatar power's (it's a 1/day thing so I've been sparingly using it).
The thing is that he'll never learn and just make another character that's just as dickish - this way, with my blessing keeping his immanent death at bay, I can always reel him in if he does something stupid.
I didn't think it was possible to have a killswitch on someone for the betterment of them.

Heh. It could be a CT reference, I know the DM has played it.

From the sounds of it the player is somewhat set in his ways and is unlikely to learn anything from this anyway. Still, well done for having a metaphorical sword held over his head should he ever return to the table. If it were me, I'd make it very clear both in and out of character that he in thin ice and this is that characters one shot at redemption.

He's an old school 2e D&D guy, but from what I've been told (some of the other people in our group have known him for ages) he's been like that for a long time, but I think back when he first played it was all about being huge dicks to each other and playing the evil party of assholes.

You were a Cleric, dude. Why didn't you just cast a shitload of buffs on yourself in the night before entering their room screaming and bashing their faces with a big ass mace? That's what Cleric are supposed to do! Out-melee everything because of important reasons! And revenge is a pretty important reason!
Also you could've poisoned them by casting Poison in their food, you could've informed a group of paladins of your deity so they could go full CLEAVE AND SMITE, or, I don't know, gory revenge involving divine magic and clever uses of the Blade Barrier spell! This story left a bad taste in my mouth, c'mon, man.

Tell me the composition of that party so that I can put them in a campaign and help your character murder them.

When the party didn't believe me that we were just being held in jail on a technicality, and I tried to break out by myself. It's too bad, I really liked that Half-Ogre Rogue/Duelist.

When the party realized that my social skills were so high that I can talk our party out of most trouble.
When all his friends died and he didn't.
Being a bothan spy is a hard life.

Basically I was playing a Kung-Fu movie campaign where not-China fell apart in a massive civil war. The cool part? The GM slowly built up the the oncoming crisis to the point where our characters were just getting comfortable when the shit hit the fan. The emperor's entire family died and the great clans began to battle for the throne.
A fairly amusing campaign, though the GM was fairly tyrannical (and had problems with women) at times. But it was tolerable and I genuinely wondered how the campaign would end. You had non-humans and post-apocalyptic bandit gangs prowling the south and Mongols just swarming in from the north. But then that guy, let's call him Mitch, joined our little table.
Mitch was weird and not in a good kind of way. Imagine a cross between Bobbah Hill and a burned out thirty something metalhead (and, I kid you not, wears a fucking fedora) who has a Rainbow Dash backback and you have Mitch. This isn't a That Guy thread so I'll only tell you the relevant part. Mitch was a massive misogynist and got along fine with the GM, but I tolerated his presence as I had spent too much time in this game to just drop out.
The trouble started when I was at the local Barnes 'n Noble and Mitch just happened to be there. I was in line and he was... Well, "flirting" with one of the cashiers. I decided to chase him off by pretending to be the girl's boyfriend which made the freak flush and run out the door. I got 50% off shit you not. But against my better judgement I went back to my table and Mitch was JUST fuming as he saw me, and then we had the last session. That's the tale of why Mitch and the GM wanted revenge.

As it happens, if you're a big fan of Berserk you might happen to know that a few elements of the protagonist are a direct reference to a historic figure who also had a false hand. It'll probably set your character back a lot but unless your setting is really far back in time technologically it's entirely possible to make a prosthetic arm that can at least hold a shield so it could exist in your setting without high-end dwarf tech or magic.

what sort of gangsters did you play with? Killing your waifu and beating you because you got a funny idea.
I'm expecting they had a small speech about loyalty standing over your half-dead cleric and then put out a cigarette in your mouth as they left

He tried to commit suicide after a really bad week, pussied out, and then became friends with the BBEG instead.
Where did all go wrong you ask? Well for this superhero game. And I use the word "hero" lightly insomuch as we regularly deal with Criminals and Super Villains to stop their mayhem.
But it probably went wrong for me when I sought out parental rights for the daughter I never knew I had (She's about a six months by the time i learn of her). And decide to try and forge a relationship with her mother to give our kid a proper family. Things rapidly go to shit when I the player and the Character both fail to recognize that her description is different than that of the chick I actually slept with. In my....defense? it was dark, it was at a club, and it was only 20 minutes and gave her a fake number. Turns out it's the chick's sister whose been stuck raising my kid cause my baby mama is an unrepentant whore.

He lost his mudfarm in the divorce, but he's the last scion of a great adventurer's brood and his family has decayed into miserable failure.
It went real downhill when he started blowing all of his divorce settlement in the tavern.

>During childhood his village was raided and slaughtered, survived by hiding among dead bodies
>Couple of weeks later found out a spirit from said village is now haunting him
>Inquisition starts hunting him since he couldn't control it at first, it accidentally went berserk and killed a bunch of "innocents" (It was actually a local gang who was trying to rob him)
>Get into party
>Literally every single person who ever joined either betrayed them or died horribly at the hands of the inquisition except for the group cavalier
>Necromancer of the group decided to take sides with the BBEG after he literally went on a suicide mission to save her
>Now is just blindly following the Cavalier around while simultaneously drinking himself to death and contemplating suicide
Honestly it never went right
