Most Outrageous Character

Who would you say your most outrageous character is in your NaNo this year? You know, the one that does just about everything that draws shouting and disbelief?

Mine would be Vanessa. She's a succubus who meets my FMC and decides she's fun to hang around. Throughout the novel Vanessa tries endlessly to seduce the men, except for one problem. Vanessa is a succubus, but she's also the most awkward and embarrassing succubus of all time.

For example, one time she tries to seduce a musician, and this is her pickup line, "You're pretty good at music. We should get together, your drum and my flute."

It's a toss-up. At first it was Leonard Slobowski, a somewhat eccentric (family changed its name from more normal Shipley when they came from England) fellow who is not really slow, but sort of Barney Fife-like messing up. He takes the typo in a blog of "Vikings Sack San Marino" and does a vlog about how bad it was for the Vikings to do this, then takes more typos later and does crazy things with them. he's a practical joker and somehow his craziness with these telemarketers is going to lead to catching the bank robbers who robbed a bank in San Marino.

Then again, public pressure on him will force a police commissioner in San Marino to order a police investigatorto the United States and, becasue of confusion between "Alexis" and "A Lexus" he will order her to arrest a car for bank robbery, refusing to hear any reason. Sort of like the "boss from you know where," thought part of it's the rpessure he's under to solve it. He's kind of minor, though.

That's really hard. All three of my main characters have an element that makes them ridiculous. Stephanie is the one who is constantly exasperated by everyone else's antics, but then attempts to handle situations by blowing them up. Hailey thinks she can handle everything, but her list of supplies consists of fifty cents and a fish taco. Morgan is never quite aware of what's happening, and spends a good bit of time in conversation with her pet goldfish, Herman.

It's my good friend Mike Dover. The most cowardly police officer that ever existed. Extremely cautious and sarcastic, he tries to be liked by all the old ladies in town (and generally everybody), but fails miserably. Long story short, he's like the guy who always wants to be invited to parties but isn't.

Justin McNabb. He is my protagonist Elena's last bad date. Overall a minor character but he is something else. She met him from a dating site and within 20 minutes of the start of their first date, he reveals himself to be not quite all there and asked her to buy bomb-making supplies for him. It was how Elena handled the situation and how she tells the story that makes it entertaining.

The sad thing? This was based off a real life story :-/

Most of my characters are somewhat outrageous. My protagonist wears a monocle exclusively to formal events and fights people over puzzles, but then I've got Talbert, or Tal. He's disturbingly comfortable with going to his death. This happens several times over, and people keep saving him, but he keeps getting stuck in situations where he's going to be executed and all he'll say is, "Well, alrighty then.". No one is sure if he's suicidal or just really, really optimistic that he won't die.

I've also got Fenn, who burns down orphanages for fun, but that's an entirely different story.

It would be easier to tell you which of my characters was the least outrageous, which is my FMC. She's been grounded as much as possible in order to keep the reader in the story, as everyone else is waaaaaay off in left field.

Though of all my crazy creations, it's a tie between Grato Beaten and his brudda, Axe'n'Face Jack. Grato has an axe that he likes to put in people's faces, and Jack... well he was customer #1. They have a third non-blood brother, Hookclaw, which may or may not end up in this story, eloquent as he may be.

The most outrageous character for me would have to be the main antagonist known as "The Man".
Why?
Well, the man controls the fate of souls, and after a while that job gets extremely lonely and boring. So he invents people up in his mind, talking to them simultaneously, finding any reason he can to come in contact with humans. That's the reason that the main character gets drug into the main plot line/situation. It's quite humorous considering there is someone completely nuts controlling your fate.

my most outrageous character is Javonte for sure. He's the big, black, flaming gay werewolf from down the street. (I'm doing a twilight parody, so Javonte is like Jacob.) His mannerisms make his orientation quite clear and he's very witty and sassy. In a nutshell, I love Javonte, lol.

Probably my two main characters for this year.

Meet Jim and George, two lazy slacker that have to get money to pay off their rent. Instead of doing things the normal way, ie get a job, they're going to go rob a bank. Jim is the absolutely ridiculous one. He's also the one who came up with the idea of robbing a bank. Jim is lazy, sarcastic, and a bit of an ass, and all of his ideas are so out there, you'd wonder if he ate paint chips as a child. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is an unholy abomination to the English language, mainly because you never knew that certain words could be stringed together to form such an incoherent sentence.

George is our narrator. At first, he's a smart and nice guy, and you'd never understand exactly how the two of them even know each other. Then, you realize he has the most hypersexual and perverted mind you could ever have. Rape fetishes? No problem. Bestiality? No big deal. Amputees, furries, and autistic people? Been there, done that.

I'm pretty sure this signifies something is extremely wrong with me, but I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.

Because this parody is meant to be pretty over the top, my characters are all pretty outrageous. But unable to pick only one who is the most so, even out of a set of only four key players, I will present the duo who are probably most unabashedly ridiculous:

We have on the side of the men one Brick Coldfire, who is the accumulation of every red-blooded, hard-bodied, and testosterone-brained macho man who ever graced the pages of a pulp romance. His mother was half Italian, half Greek, and his father was the son of a supermodel and a Cherokee warrior. He is a cowboy, a detective, and the heir to an impressive fortune. When he says jump, he expects the world to say "how high, sir?" and then jump twice that high. He expects even more of himself. He spends most of his time consumed with either rage or lust. Why do something by halves when you can do it times ten? And why does it seem nobody, even himself, is capable of matching his perfectly rational and reasonable expectations? He must brood about this question over a glass of expensive whiskey.

Then we have Garnet, who is the amalgamation of every romantic angst trope. Her story began as a Regency romance when she was first orphaned, then forced into marriage with a wealthy baron at insistence of the requisite wicked uncle. Instead of finding true love via Stockholm Syndrome, however, she found that he was an ancient vampire and now she too is one of the undead. That certainly ruined her reputation with London society! Unable to handle the disappointing genre swap she fled, first to the New World and since then, around the world. The need for human blood vs. the desire not to kill and to er, un-live peacefully combined with memories of her parents and the ill treatment of her uncle and husband ensures that each breath she doesn't actually take, because she's dead, is laced with bitter agonies. For the first time in centuries she returns to Britain, determined that this time everything will be different and she will find her reason for not living.

Brick is tired of his new mistress already, when an ethereal woman who appears barely legal happens upon his path. The wheels have been set in inexorable motion now-- the mysterious Garnet will be his! Or will she?

I have a whole crew of cornish farmers who are now pirates, because my MC though he was pressganging a crew of hardened pirates....they sounded the same in the dark....

Hmm, probably Madeline.

She says it like it is and gets to the point of everything. She'll be the comic relief throughout the whole novel along with Nolen and Henry. She'll be doing explicit matter such as getting drunk and "sleeping" around. I'm not too entirely sure what else will happen with her but I do know of this: she'll be going to the men's bathroom to figure out the urinals.

I'm more excited to write about her than my actual main character. :O

Mine would be: Kyle "That Sullivan kid who was just standing here a minute ago" Sullivan, the 14-year old cousin of the MC. He, the MC and 200 other people are playing in a massive paintball "war" in rural Mississippi. Kyle spends most of his time there, taunting his opponents mid-game, messing with people bigger than him, smack-talking, trying paintball tactics that are so ridiculously out there that they work, and using bigger people as cover.

He is to the MC in this book, as Ford Prefect is to Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Kyle guides the MC through his first time playing paintball.

Often heard saying things like:
"Leroooooooy Jeeeenkins!"
"Paintballs hurt a lot less, if you don't get hit."
"These guys are no different from those other players we went up against earlier, except that there's a whole lot more of 'em, they're older, they have better gear, and that one over there just had three Red Bulls."
"That's nothing, this one time..."

Mine is D, a paranoid, demented outer-dimesnional creature that manifests itself as a moving black fog. His hobbies include stalking people (obviously), whispering things in their ears and convincing them that they're crazy and taking the form of several obscene objects.

None of my characters have names in the story, but there are "the Chefs" who are two ten year old kids who got a genie and their wish was...to become Royal Cooks. When asked why they didn't think of something better, their response was "we're ten, okay."

The genie is also absurd - a former warrior trapped in a genie's lamp, he's flamboyant and still challenges people to duels despite not being solid.

Probably Brain Boy. He gets in arguements with me. Literally. I have a whole section of dialouge that's just an arguement between me and him. Oh, how I love destroying the forth wall!

Oh, Thor. Most definitely Thor. My short story is about a WriMo who dies during a word war and ends up in Valhalla. Thor is very flamboyantly gay and dreams of interior design. He also loves picking on my Loki and breaking the fourth wall.

Hmm. Mine might be Knight Whisper, the father of the girl my main (who is forming a team of shoddy super villains) is dating. He is secretly a parody of Batman and is very over-the-top in this respect.

Mine is Ricky. He just has the weirdest luck, and being born on February 29th seems to have been the trigger for it. He regularly gets his tie stuck in the printer at work, falls asleep at one person's house and wakes up miles away without any recollection of what happened, and can offend a group of nuns just by existing.
