I was in a short-lived PTA game where a helping hand boosted bubble took out one of Brock's Geodudes from damn near full health in the weird team battle format our GM was using.
8x damage + STAB was insane.

As a group we decided we just wanted light hearted fun times from our Pokemon game and took death off the table, as a result.

His GREATEST fear? Fuck, that's a hard one.

Kid's an Eva pilot in a specifically horror-themed AdEva game.

Right now, his greatest fear is that he isn't a real person and will be replaced. He found out there is a machine in his chest that is keeping his body from falling apart into LCL again (he and the other pilots were fished out of a lake of LCL left over from second impact) but no one can seem to tell where he was a real person who existed before second impact, who was 'revived'... or if he and the other pilots are just a mashup of totally unrelated memories and personality traits taken from hundreds of different people that THINKS its one person.

In the former case, if his stabilizer flickers he pops like a balloon, but his soul goes wherever souls go and he might even be revived again.

In the later, he doesn't actually have a soul. Just a soul-like object. One that will cease to exist entirely if anything happens to the device in his chest, never to be recovered because it was never really there.

The most terrifying thing to him is that he might tang, and they will just repair and re-use his stabilizer to make an entirely new person that doesn't have anything in common with him and doesn't remember being him at all.

He's pretty fucking afraid of magic in general, but especially the posibility of a witch cursing him.
He's an uncultured brutish barbarian, with a passable intelligence but extreme anger issues and paranoia about all things magic.

Running out of enemies to fight.

He's come to define himself solely by the damage he inflicts on his enemies, so the concept of having no one to fight would leave him without any sort of identity or purpose.

> That must be really awkward when that happens.
It is. My character is not 10 y.o. tho, I'm the group's adult at a whoppin, pas his prime 24 y.o.

I have never caused the death of an opponent's pokemon, and one of my two mines came from a wild spearow's critical hit on a peck. Sooo...

Also, I am a professor / scientist / petrologist, so there is a change I bring them back from the great beyond.

Killing someone who doesn't deserve it. Simply beating someone nearly to death got him to quit the boxing circuit after hearsay hyped his opponent up as a real beast in the ring, but it was just exaggeration spread around by the other boxer and his friends.
>>
>>52580675

Lame as fuuuuuck.

You are being too superficial. Someone like that doesn't define themselves by their conflict and enemies like that for no reason. They are running from something, either physically or emotionally.

That thing they are running from? That's what they are really afraid of. They aren't afraid of not having an enemy to throw themselves into battle against, they are afraid of going off and starting a life and having something to lose again.
>>
>>52580729
This is only war, man.

The only purpose in life he's ever been given is fighting the enemies of man in a grinding war. Before that, he wanted an irradiated wasteland caring not at all if he lived or died, because no one else cared either.

But coming to grips with the enemy has given him purpose, meaning. For once in his miserable life, his life has value, if only to be spent on the blades of the enemy.

To lose that, and return to having nothing, to being nothing, is his greatest fear.

Death of a team mate, probably. He's a wizard who survived a Ravenloft campaign, so good luck scaring him with monsters and standard horror fare. He thinks werewolves are funny, since Remove Curse doesn't have a save and doesn't require an attack roll. Even an antimagic zone isn't too bad, since he has such a high CON that his HP is comparable to the fighter's, so he could probably survive long enough to escape. The only time he's lost a team mate was from PVP when someone decided to be a dick and murder an NPC the rest of the party liked. So, death of a friend/team mate would be about the only thing to shake him.

>How is a 10 year old kid meant to deal with the fact they killed some Hiker's Onix with a bubblebeam?

How is a 10 year old meant to violently subdue wild animals and force them to fight each other for money?

Pokemon trainers are psychopaths. Normal kids don't abandon their homes and educations to participate in a glorified cockfighting tournament.
>>
>>52581170
Those wild animals attack children at random and fight each other all the time in the wild. The fact that they can disobey any trainer they see as "weak" indicates that they retain free will even after being captured or traded. They haven't rebelled against mankind despite being free-willed and some among their number being capable of casually reducing entire cities to ashes.

In short? You're not a cockfighter, you're a boxing coach for a bunch of creatures that exist specifically to fight each other. The League rules regulate Pokemon battles, not to keep the Trainers from going too far, but to keep the POKEMON from going too far.

They regularly kill each other and humans in the wild. They LOVE fighting, and if anything as a Trainer you're keeping that in check.

That one day the mix of poppy juice and gin he drinks regularly will stop working, and the pain will start to seep back into his bones. They say five months, but poison doesn't leave, ever.

Galen Vezh's greatest fear is a cage. Entrapment. Slavery to another. This is why he fled his family for the Blasted Lands, giving up his title and treasury. Money is worth nothing if it is only to be spent as you are told.

Mohelius Evilskull McGenocide fears little; his greatest fear is to slight his destiny as Conquering King, and leave mankind a shattered remnant of its potential glory.

Moyolejuani fears the reaper above all else; he stole a chunk of the Heart of God so that he would never die, and is instead working on Peace In Our Time... His timeline is just very much longer than most.

Disease and starvation are my character's greatest fears, I'd say. He's a hunter who lives with a tribe of people in the forest, and starvation and disease are very real dangers.

Answering the question, my guy is actually paranoid, and I mean full delusion mode.

He's also the primary thing keeping the party safe right now because a) he has a good danger sense ability at this point, b) this time the party listens to him, and c) he's gotten really good at fortifying locations/ setting up traps

1) being a failure

2) that she will never know what being truly free of all facades is

3) Disapointing her superiors

4) That all the defeatist things she was taught to tell herself are actually true and that she is less than human
>>
>>52580060
It's probably failure.

He's extremely intelligent and so prideful it borders on unreasonable. The day that he's proven worthless, or right before death takes him, that will be the time when fear actually takes hold of him. Because he will have been wrong.

>>52580913
Going though Strahd right now with my Eldritch Knight. She didn't have any fears until now.

Fear of dying and her soul not beingl be able to pass on. Fear of never being able to get strong enough to rescue her sister from the magic mafia. Fear that she'll never get to live her dream of a great adventuring hero. Fear of what she might become through curses or worse. Fear of fates worse than death.

All from Ravenloft, lol. But hey if she survives she'll be a much stronger person.

That the rest of the party will discover that the Elf's gf is not "in hiding" but is in fact dead and that he killed her
>>
Depends. Early in the game, he was afraid of his daddy. After decapitating him, putting his head on a pike, and eating his heart in front of a hundred spectators he begins to fear that it runs in the blood and he will eventually become as insane and brutal as his father.

Currently he's on his way to hell to hug it out with his dad, since the party was heading there to kill some demons anyway.

Nog too dumb for be afraid.

>>52580060
My current character's backstory is kinda edgelord in that all they were robbed of all they hold dear, left to travel aimlessly for a time, in search of purpose.

Now their greatest fear is that there was something to do, something to save, if only they were bold enough to act then and there. Even if it was against overwhelming odds, and not wallow in self-pity and apathy.

Fear of regret, I suppose?
>>
>>52580060
Being such a failure his new group betrays him like his old tribe did. That or knowing his ancestors are ashamed of him.

For my other character I guess it would be knowing that all of his work to save his people will forever be in vain due to some new great power enslaving them each time he bests their old masters.

My character has started his own Mercenary Company, he indoctrinates the members into a philosophy he created to make them focus on merciless martial training.
Biggest fear is that one of his two lieutenants -that he bought as child soldiers and trained up until now- will reject his teachings or die since he's began to regard them more as sons then anything.
Turning the philosophy into a Pseudo-Religion at the moment, added a section where followers don't truly die. When they finally fall, it's said that they are resting in meditation in preparation for the 'Final Battle' where they will rise and fight side by side with their Battle-Brothers once again.

Nuclear war.

It's the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis and my character survived the bombing of Nagasaki as a boy so I figure that's a pretty reasonable thing to fear.

Hell, I don't even know what I'd say MY greatest fear is. I'm afraid of many things, to differing degrees. I had an idea for a character who was phobically afraid of fire, but I never got to play that character.

He fears that when he finally manages to resurrect his beloved sister, she won't want to be with him anymore out of fear and loathing for the monster he became to bring her back.
>>
That the organisation she works for will eventually be corrupted by corporate power, and she'll be forced to kill her former comrades to appease the spirits.

He's my oldest character, it would probably be the fear of being alone. He's always drifted from army, to team. He's too scared to be alone.
>young bastard barbarian trying to make a name for himself.
His greatest fear would be not living up to his father's name, and at the same time becoming the like the deadbeat his father really is.

That he'll go to 'The Bad' in a real big way.
He's a necromancer with a skeleton army.
A Galadriel-esq Fey predator with his own dark realm.
A high octane Capitalist that owns hundreds of people.
A magnificent planning bastard that's squatted at the center of a web of bullshit level conspiracies that no one knows about.
And the owner of several powerful relics including one or two potently evil ones.

Basically he could go full Lich-lord, or full ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR or something even worse.
Only his own massive guilt complex has stopped him going to the bad in the past and he's feeling less guilty with each morally decent thing he does.

That someone will learn what his second-greatest fear is.
>>
>>52580060
Having his strength, will, or determination fail and innocents suffering because of it.
>>
He's a barbarian that's the last of his small tribe. It wasn't anything malicious that wiped out his people. Just a wildfire. It left him with some nasty scars. The problem is his people were nomadic. They carried everything with them. The fire destroyed all their belongings, wiped out all traces of them. All that's left is their oral history. He can recite the names and linage of every member of the tribe. He tells stories of their deeds. It remains with him.

His greatest fear is two-fold. Being forgotten himself, and dying, which would mean his family, ancestors, and tribe would also be forgotten.
>>
>>52580060
He values his ability to reason and think freely above all else, so something in the lines of getting feebleminded. Even geas scares the fuck out of him.
