Gaming Meme: Day 6 – Most annoying character

Video Games: Is there any more annoying character than FF7’s Yuffie? Well have you ever played Rumble Roses? Ugh. Cliche is painful.

Gaming: When it comes to annoying other people and being annoyed myself with forced story lines the character that comes to mind is a bulldog pooka I played in a LARP. I liked the character. She was a childing, so of course the whole “Oh look a child character, time to draw out the whole CPS plot line” got dragged out. To make matters worse in game the fae at the time were largely just wannabe vampires. The core of the Changeling world is that becoming banal literally kills a fae (though they can live on as boring humans after) and little is more banal than the vampires. But the fae at the time were rubbing elbows with the vampire court, going to their parties and “humorously indulging” their udder death-bringing presence.

So I did a lot of things to the vampires, like sneaking into the Elysium and glamouring the speech of the Prince to sound like a flushing toilet. And turning our water elemental guardian to Jello. Things meant to make people laugh, to remind the fae of who they were, which was not pretty vampire side kicks.

Needless to say the other characters didn’t get the point and the storytellers targeted me. When I spent almost 2/3rds of a game not playing at all because I’d been kidnapped and drugged up, and therefore I couldn’t even jump into the fight to rescue me I got fed up. I also accepted a staff position which came with the rule that my characters weren’t allowed to kill PCs. Since the now delirious, drug-mad, very vengeful little pooka was going dark places and blamed the fae–who spent most of the game debating how to save her instead of just doing it–for her psychosis I knew I had to drop the character.

Overall I think I as a player and the people I was playing with all agree that Diesel was my most annoying character.
