So the first real RPG I played in was a really clunky internet forum homebrew system. It was poorly designed and very unbalanced, but since we were all friends most of us tried to make characters that worked well together.
Not Bob, though. Bob made a long string of terrible, min maxed characters, each less memorable than the last. When we came up with an advantages/disadvantages system, he decided to get rid of his 8th character and make a new one, since disadvantages gave you a few extra character points.
His new character was Gunbot (that was his actual name), a police robot that specialized in shooting guns. He hated evil. This didn’t seem too bad, until you looked at his disadvantages and noticed a trend.
Intolerance: Gunbot is intolerant of evil.
Personal Vow: Kill evil people.
Obsession: Destroy evil.
Duty: Gunbot has a duty to kill evil where ever it is.
Berserk: Gunbot goes berserk in the presence of too much evil.
Bloodlust: Gunbot gets really angry around evil.
OCD: Gunbot is compelled to kill evil.
Code of Conduct: Gunbot cannot let evil exist near him.
Stubborn: Nothing can deter gunbot from his fight against evil.
Fanatic: Gunbot is fanatic in his quest against evil.
Phobia: Cats.
Depression: Gunbot is depressed when evil wins.
Sadist: Gunbot is sadistic in his extermination of evil.
The guy knew what he wanted, at least.
