Hahah

Define "jerk"

I have played as a Witch Hunter and the GM wanted to test mt faith so he had the party and I discover a village of nature magic users who follow some goddess earlier in the campaign I threw out the words of "As a witch hunter I have to hunt and end false god followers" and throw on top of the fact the villagers were harboring blood magic users.

I dont know if it was edgy but I sort of burned down the entire village becasue of muh code

Nah. I don't trust myself not to derail the general atmosphere with my dickishness, I don't have the acting chops to make a jerk that isn't just annoying.

I respect players who can, though.

Occasionally

It's really fucking fun

LE Barbarian name Urist von Urist who was the fucking worst.

>>49173481
actually yes
in my shadowrun game I'm a scorpion shaman
that means im a paranoid, psychotic asshole who berates my team at every opportunity
this has led to my team not trusting me as in deliberately going out of the way to make sure i dont get information that could be vital to missions even though i haven't actually betrayed or hindered the team in any way.
i wanted them to not like me but it's kind of annoying when everyone acts like im going to slit their throats in their sleep.

Kind of

My favorite character is a Chaotic Evil Skeleton cleric (I know how it sounds but hear me out) who offered his soul to any god that would keep him from passing on. Goddess of sunshine and friendship and shit took the offer before any dark god could and turned him to a pet project. Now he's basically late-season Spike from Buffy. Every time he did something evil, the goddess will give him a mind-shattering headache, hoping that the power of negative reinforcement will teach him to be a good guy.

He's essentially a designated healer, as the goddess knows he enjoys killing too much. He constantly raves on and on about turning their polished skulls into cookie jars and tap dancing on their internal organs while dispensing Cure Wounds to them like a Band-Aid box. He talks mad shit, and I keep a notebook of any sick burns I think of and whip it out every time he need's to be an asshole. That's all he can really do, though, since he's compelled to only do good deeds. Pic very related.

I like playing fascist zealots and racists

Pretty decent way to ensure an Evil character cooperates with the party, gj.

Once upon a time I played one of the older D&D systems with some friends, made a character I decided would be chaotic neutral. I played him pretty damn chaotic evil, and he was just the basic fighter/warrior class so he didn't have any far reaching goals. All he did was break things and move shit to irritate people, and eventually was faced with some moral dilemmas. Two of the party (A female Orc and a female Halfling, Ranger and Rogue respectively) were kidnapped by some creep dwarves who were running an inn. They chased these assholes over an entirety of a country, and the wizard (who actually was an evil alignment) joked about this being the most heroic thing any of the group had ever done before. Turns out the orc and halfling were just being brought to some sort of spa resort run by monks. The Wizard and he were incredibly pissed, as they had lost a horse as well as quite a few nights of looting to trying to rescue the orc and halfling. The Wizard just wanted to leave as fast as possible- I flipped a coin to decide whether or not my character would make the trip worth it. Turns out that not all monks are skilled in hand to hand, at least most of them weren't. After that his longstanding quest was to piss off every single religion he could find along the way.

He and the cleric castrated a Minotaur later that campaign, just as a side note. This Cleric also poured salt he bought at the beginning of the campaign on a snowman boss that was prepared for christmas.

I'm currently playing as a Chaotic Good green dargonbread pally who's power comes from Bahomet, roaming the underdark with some rag tag team. I use my charisma mostly to intimidate the others with threats of eating them. I also pushed some underdark dwarf into the water filled with piranha like fish which scared his fellow short person into becoming something of our slave for the time being... Also I'm telepathically linked to the others for the most part and sometimes conjure extreme images of sexual frustration in their heads hinting that my cannibal tendencies may be a deep rooted form of vore I gained after watching my village get devoured by an ancient dragon. But for the most part I'm loyal and protective of those who earned my trust... That's mostly good right?

I've done smug, I've done callous, I've done bilious.
I have never done "jerk"

All that leads to is being considered "acceptable casualties" during any particularly dangerous fight.
Gooks overrunning the perimeter? Hope your foxhole is deep, because we're dropping 105s on your position.
You're standing between the wizard and something big and nasty? Hope you invested in resistances and saves, because otherwise this will hurt.
Your arm got blown off? Sucks. We only have enough morphine for one person. Same for the plasma. Hope you like tourniquets.

>get a hunter to escort me
>he gets his hand cut off by a centaur's halberd
>while in combat I steal his nice green cape
>he starts mumbling obscenities
>after the battle I drag him back to the village
>while he's asleep I put the green cape over him then leave

>>49173481
Yes some of my best characters have been jerks. An impoverished Nobel who thought he was the leader, a warforged Paladin who hated imortals, a bounty hunter who rejected all forms of government, even his own... the best of characters

HEHEHEHEH

>>49178029

Dude, playing your character facing the consequences of their shitty actions and still being a huge shithead is the best part of being a jerk.

being interrogated by inquisitors before we can cross the nations border, already having failed to hide a demon skull we picked up and my team passing all of their charisma/persuasion checks, I decide to have some fun. during the questioning I go over how all of my items work, like my soustealing axe, the skull of a demon that when touched curses you in one of 20 ways, my rings that allow me to remotely control the 2 large arms grafted to my sides and the bag of meats I've taken from foes for provisions. After the inquisitor explains just how EXTREMELY heretical this is, I then try to get him to pray to my god, Shorntra lord of pleasures cannibals and sadism..... we are immeadiately attacked by 5 inquisitors and their horde of zealots, clerics, and guards.

I tried to in Curse of Strahd.

>DM: "There's this town where the person in charge forces people to take part in regular festivals! He's also a hated tyrant! Oh, and there's this small village not far away with people hated by people of the town."

>Me: "I say we convince these people of the village to storm tomorrow's festival and kill the town leader. Maybe they'll make nice with the town? Maybe not? I don't care. Gets us what we need."

I had a few people supporting me, but because it wasn't the incredibly narrow path the DM wanted us to follow through the story, we weren't allowed to do it. And that's why I didn't care any more and stopped showing up.

I played a slime ball 80s movie producer in Vampire. I miss playing him so much...

>>49173481

Play as? What's the point of roleplaying if I'm just going to play myself?

>>49173583
Well if they weren't obligated to play with you they would've ditched or even killed your character. I think this is generally what happens when people play jerk/loner/difficult characters.

>>49173533
>villagers were harboring blood magic users

Fucking their shit up was the correct thing to do.

Why would I need to when I know a GM who has every single NPC be, as one other player calls them "emo brick walls?"

>>49173481
CN Sorcerer who never tells literally anyone that the Rogue should really be locked up on full moons, or why, and has done nothing to convince the Rogue that all elves are not, in fact, gay.
So yes. Yes, I have.

If you make a jerk character and get into a contest with the DM to see who can make their character the biggest jerk, then you can have a jerk off.

hehehe

i make up for it by having the 2 most useful spells in the game
levitate and improved invisibility

>>49173583
>scorpion shaman
>scorpion
Why? How did your GM even let you take this? Why haven't the others immediately sold you once they knew you were a fucking Bug Shaman?
