What was the best written PC you've seen/played? What was the worst?

My favorite was a Tiefling Warlock, so I decided not to share

You make a PC judgement friend while you yourself are afraid of having one of your PCs judged?

Best was a great detective Sherlock Holmes type of character in a Cthulhu by Gaslight game. Worst was a 2edgy4me Drow rogue in 3.5 who ultimately committed the cardinal sin of stealing from the party, so we killed him and his player rolled up a milquetoast cleric

Had a female player basically use whatever downtime between events in the campaign to woo the gnome prince-ling of the setting. I assume for money, but she actually made an IRL handwritten letter, so I decided to just say her PC lived in the lap of luxury after the end, since she put the effort in

Worst wasn't too bad, just a dude that watched too much anime putting a reference in her character, but whatever

Idk about well written, but I was a big fan fan of the stealth ogre. Necromancers are fun too, since they always have come up with some sketchy shit to find corpses.

Least favourite would be any type of John Nopersonality.

My best written would probably be my Necromancer I made for 2eAD&D. Her name was Ophelia Botkin and she was an upperclass noblewoman of the kingdom the campaign took place in. I tried to emulate The Complete Necromancer by focusing on the spiritual, mental, and physical decay that came with using necromancy. I also made sure every wizard option and disadvantage was covered in her backstory.

When she was a child, her family estate suffered fire under mysterious circumstances. Her entire family was caught in the fire but her father and her little brother were able to escape mildly unhurt. She, her mother, and older sister were not able to escape. She watched them burn to death and briefly perished herself but an unknown entity snatched her soul and put it back into her body. Covered in burns and utterly traumatized she was kept home most of the time. She eventually took an interest in sculpting and would craft masks to cover her face. She also had an uncanny talent for necromancy even being able to cast spells restricted to priests. The only real drawback is using her necromantic powers ran the risk of her having mental breakdowns often reliving the fire from that fateful night.

As for the roleplay, she was the main reason the party formed with the cleric being her personal physician, and the fighter/rogue being hired as her personal bodyguard. She operated as the party's personal benefactor and used her wealth and class to get the party into or out of shenanigans. Her fits of insanity did present a monkey wrench during combat because if I could not make my concentration check she would either have a mental breakdown and just start screaming or try to kill everyone around her. It would have been a much worse problem but the cleric and fighter/rogue knew to rip her mask off since that was her talisman to be able to cast spells.

The overall plan was to unleash a great plague over the kingdom save for one city under our 'protection', kill off a large swath of the population, and rebuild the kingdom with us at the helm as the saviors. Unfortunately, a new player joined the group mid campaign, played the game like a griefer on a GTA server, unironically tried to rape my character before learning the hard way enchantment spells dont work on undead, pretty much derailed the campaign, and making fighter/rogue player quit.

My personal favorite memory of her was when she obtained the Alter Self spell. She sat herself in front of a mirror and shaped her face into what she thought it would look like unburnt. When she finished shaping her face, she looked at her reflection and started crying.

I was absolutely the worst. My first time playing I played a fighter who would deliberately hit my own party members in the back of the head while they were weakened just to down them.
Literally for no other reason than finding it funny to see the other players get upset.
Surprisingly didn't get kicked for my behavior and for some reason I cleaned my act up by the second game since the first one had everyone fucking die.

My first Shadowrun character, False Profit. A wannabe corporate suit with photographic memory who routinely got in over his head and tried a million get rich quick schemes between eating people and starting his own gang. He lived in an armored garbage truck called Xcessive Force. He was a hardcore opium addict and all around evil douche who the other players wouldn't allow to be alone near women because they feared what he would do. He ate the first Mr. Johnson who betrayed the group alive and livestreamed it on the net. The last few sessions involved us being quitely dropped into a anime esque school setting to solve a murder mystery, which turned out to be a hidden camera reality show. After pursuing the mystery and starting to lose his mind from the invisible gangstalking camera drones, he shot an actor in the back of the head in the middle of class and shot down a drone before heading up an assault on the bunker beneath the school. After having his memory wiped, he and the decker realized they had been had, and found the rest of the group having a chat with the director of the program. Apparently before we found them, the other players had warned the director by showing the livestream of Profit eating that dude, so they met in handcuffs. Everyone else figured it would be a good end to retire and live as movie stars. Profit felt that it'd be just submitting to corporate power, and walked away from it all to continue to be a lowlife criminal and chase that dream of becoming a suit in his own right.
