Catastrophic Success
Anyone that's been roleplaying for a good while has to have played a character that could be at least be described as slightly evil. Whether they were just a jackass that liked to mock people that walked by, or an utter degenerate that would make the devil cry, chances are you've played something like this. On this thread, I want to hear stories. Stories of the nastiest shit you've committed by proxy of your characters. It doesn't matter if it seems less impressive compared to others, just come here and share a good story from any time you played a big ol' douchebag.
I'll start with one of mine, and one that's probably the most devious thing I've had a chance to do; it was in an RP which revolved around criminal gangs in a city. They also had a position for a local military leader, and I decided to take that up with a vicious general dedicated to wiping out the criminals. Of course, even though my general engaged in torture and brutal force, he still managed to look like a much lesser evil compared to the criminal players. The people in this RP weren't a very good bunch, and they liked to indulge in some really disturbing stuff. Still, I managed to pull off a really devious maneuver in the RP. One of the players let their character get captured (this was the kind of RP where they never would have been captured if they didn't let you), and their character was the lover of one of the biggest criminals in the city. He goes nuts and makes a huge mess when he realises his girl has been kidnapped, trying to force her to be returned. But I come up with a very interesting idea here; my character decides he's going to pretend to offer the girl back to him. But, he's decided that by way of rigging her with explosives, that he's going to force the girl to refuse to return to the guy, acting as though she's just straight up choosing the military over king douchebag. It goes off without a hitch; douche gets rejected, he gets all depressed, and I can't help but find it hilarious. My character did all this just to break the guy's will. Now, there's arguably nastier things I've had characters do, but nothing was quite as devious as this.
Of course, being the kind of RP that it was, the character doesn't stay depressed for long, and in spite of being a two bit gangster, manages to pose a threat to the military. Might be worth mentioning this character's player is the GM. I try some more tricks, but there's really no fighting a GM on a power trip that sees their character as an extension of them-self. Still, I fondly remember that moment as the one time I got to be as devious as possible.
Anyway, now it's your turn to share. Keep in mind, though; try to avoid talking about anything too disgusting in detail. There's evil, and then there's disgusting. If your story involves anything dodgy, try your best to be vague on the details.
