What’s the worst thing you’ve done to a character?

[AlekAundra]

Ha ha ha ha… oh boy.

I feel very sorry for my MC in my LitRPG novel Player 0.4 where the MC only has access to 40% of the game mechanics since he was an NPC originally.

Here’s the gist on the 2 basic rules in the Game he’s in:
1. Every time the character dies in the ‘Game’, he wakes up on the same day at the same time.
2. He can’t reset the game and try again. The only way to reset the game is to die.

It hasn’t quite happened yet and I leave it to your imagination on the severe consequences that’ll be had on the MC because of these 2 rules. But boy oh boy… do I feel sorry for him.

Worst thing I've ever done to a character was suicide/matricide; I had her either kill herself or kill her daughter. She chose to kill herself, so that her daughter could live; but when she killed herself, it turns out she was inhabiting her daughter's body, so her daughter killed her. It's messed up, but that's just the way it goes. Other horrible things I've done to other characters was child r*pe (done off screen, but there's some serious psychological repercussions later on); another horrible thing I've done was long-term isolation to the shadow side of the same character that turns her shadow side into a crazed knife-wielding yangire. Another horrible thing was having two twin girls forced to play Russian roulette in front of their screaming parents; only one survived, while the other one died, while the audience cheered and the parents raged in agony; then I had the big bad shoot and kill the parents in front of the survivor. It's fucked up, I know. Not even the guys are safe. I had a guy gibbetted in the stocks in the standing position, so I had one of the torturer girls go up and give him a blowjob, almost making him cum, and then had the other torturers throw hard rotten food at his crotch, to which he screamed. I've done some more horrific stuff to other characters, but you get the picture. All of this is in my magical girl story, Days of Blood and Roses.

On another story, The Late Bird's Tale, I had the ghost of a girl discover that she had overdosed herself into oblivion and caused the rest of the girls she met later on to fall into comas.
