Despite all that happens to her, her character never really seems to evolve any. Hopefully Shu Takumi rectifies that in the eventual sequel to Apollo Justice. I want to see an awesome, more mature, and hardened Maya Fey. Especially if she ends up raising Pearl. Teenage Pearl will be so awesome. :ORoto13 said:
You also forgot that
she is held captive and starved.

lost his mother at birth
watched his father mudered before his eyes
enslaved as a child
spent years of his adult life as a rock and missed watching his babies grow up
But at least he can sex up his own offspring now. :lol

Considering there were 2 Berserk video game adaptations, Guts i think, easily tops this thread:
- Orphan of an executed mother
- Raped as a child
- Cursed with a brand acting as a demon magnet
- Everyone his ever known is dead or will soon will be
- Witnessed first hand the rape of his loved one
- Betrayed by many

What do you think the average life-expectancy of one of these guys is?

Pretty much every character from ED
Pious Augustus -
corrupted by one of the Ancients' essences
Ellia -
chosen to bear Mantorok's essence. Pious kills her for her resistance to him shortly afterwards, but she remains half-alive because the essence is inside her body
Karim -
he sacrifices himself so that he can watch over the artifact
Dr. Maximillian Roivas -
committed to an asylum after trying to convince people about the ancients
Roberto Bianchi -
he is thrown into the pillar and buried alive after he builds it

I can't believe I forgot Eternal Darkness. I nominate EVERYONE IN THE GAME, but especially
the priest Paul Luther.
FAKE EDIT: Imbarkus said it well. (Except for that "statue of limitations" thing. Needless spoilers are always needless.)

I will admit I cried like a baby at the end of MGS3.... and it was for Big Boss, not The Boss.
His story really should have ended on that powerful note :/

The half-naked barbarian Hlormar Wine-Sot. Seduced by a witch who then paralyzed him, stripped him of his clothes and robbed him of his prized Axe Cloudcleaver. Even worse, I just insulted him and left him there because I knew his Axe sucked.
:lol

I really want Sawako Natori (scenario writer) to keep working in the industry. It sounds strange to say this, but I adore Drakengard's story and characters.

The Boss. Followed by Big boss.
She got fucked over badly. And was fucked over by the people she trusted and fought for her entire life.
The only character I can think of with a more tragic or as tragic life is Guts from Berserk.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.

Digging through survival horror memory for this topic, can't believe I forgot:
Lisa Trevor (REmake, Gamecube)
The gamecube remake added one plot thread of a pure miserable horror-filled life for one character in particular.
Lured to Umbrella at age 14 when her father accepted a job to design their insidious mansion, she was doomed when she arrived as Oswell Spencer had no intention of letting the Mansion's secrets, or the Travor family, out alive. Lisa and her mother arrived before her father, and were immediately abducted into the research lab beneath it to be used as test subjects, never seeing him again. Her father was locked in a cell and starved to death after finishing work on the mansion. Lisa's mother was planning their escape, but was killed when experiments on her proved unsuccessful. It is unclear, but possible, that she was killed by Lisa herself.
To Lisa's woe, however, the experiments on her were very successful. She integrated with the Progenitor virus-ladened parasite implanted in her in a way not seen before, and thus became the subject of two decades of unending torturous implantations, leaving her monstrous, disfigured, and quite mad. Umbrella tried to fool her, sending in researchers masquerading as her parents, whom she killed and stripped of their faces to wear over her own mutilated one.
Unable to get stable results from experiments with her and having lost many researchers to her rage, Umbrella eventually decided to just kill her, and tried various methods. They found her unkillable, and locked her in the basement in the crypt of her mother.
Another decade, either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine find her there, shackled and screaming in madness. As the player, you either "kill" her outright, or open the crypt's sarcophagous, at which point she realizes her mother is dead, grabs the skull from the tomb, screams "Mother!" and leaps to her apparent death at the bottom of a chasm.
Though there are indications that she survives, monstrous and mad, looking for revenge...

Truly one of the saddest character fates I remember encountering.
Edit: Capcom resists image-linking I guess.

Completely forgot about this.
What an amazing fucking game, and truly an amazing and unexpected addition to a remake.

Hopefully that image works. Basically I have to add that most of the npc characters from demons souls. Lord rydell specifically,
imprisoned for god knows how long and trying to find his corpse so he can retrieve his most prized possessions. not to mention he is already dead.
God damns I love that fucking series folks.

Luka from Bayonetta.
Spends the whole game getting cock-teased by Bayonetta and gets diddly at the end :lol
Sigurd from Fire Emblem 4.
-Gets the woman he loves, whom he just married taken from him.
-Sees his father die right in front of him after his father was falsely accused of treason.
-Sees his brother-in-law, who is also his best friend, and younger sister killed and can't do anything to stop it.
-Is betrayed by his other brother in law and killed along with the rest of his army due to false accusations.
-His wife is brainwashed to fuck her half brother who was the one who killed him in order to make a cult of demon worshipping brainwashed kids.
-He never got to meet his then unborn son who would eventually avenge him.
Yet he's still the greatest fucking FE protagonist ever.

Otacon. He slept with his dad or a parrot or maybe it was his dad's parrot or some shit like that in MGS2. I dont know which it was. I had lost interest in the convoluted story long before that point.
