Jinguji Ren | Uta no Prince-sama (animeverse)

[saxsongs]

My mother died when I was young. Apparently, my father didn't take this very well, so he threw out all things related to her and her idol career. I was left with only a few small things and blurry memories.

Then dad died and my brother took over our family. His great idea was to make me a tool of our family's publicity. I wasn't really asked an opinion on if I wanted to do it.

I'm forbidden to drink Yuuki-chan's blood. That goes for other human girls too.

Kaname-sama hits me every time I even mention that I want to do it.

Blood tablets are really bad tasting.

Ren Suzugamori || Cardfight!! Vanguard

[nationalairheadchampion]

Mmmm...

I've been in possession of a special power for a while now. It's really incredible and there's nothing wrong with it now. But it did used to turn me into a really awful person and that happened for years. My best friend couldn't accept it, so he left and I hated him for years too. I ended up hurting most of my other friends too, and it was awful being that angry all the time...

More recently, my deck was replaced because the units in my old deck were captured by a mysterious evil force.

And for some reason, I guess I'm not allowed to remember or know about any of this, so my memory of the last few years is very fuzzy and has a lot of holes and events that don't really make sense.



Oh, and Tetsu went to visit Team Q4 without telling me. I wanted to go too...

Cheria Barnes | Tales of Graces f

[fairycircle]

When I was young, I got sick very easily, so I couldn't run and play with the other kids my age very well. Asbel and Hubert were my closest friends, but Asbel would be... reckless, usually, and run off with his brother where he wasn't supposed to. I couldn't keep up, or they would go without me even after promising they wouldn't. They brought Sophie back to town after going to Lhant hill, and that's when we named her until she could regain her memory; we thought she had amnesia.

We became friends with Prince Richard and when we went to meet him in Barona, we tried to slip in through a back way we found in the meeting room. There were winding caves.. but we eventually found Richard. He was unconcious and a weird monster hovering over him. I don't remember what happened, I can only guess I was knocked out with Hubert. When I woke up, I was told that Sophie had been killed, Hubert had been sent away, and even when I pleaded with Asbel not to leave, he promised, then broke it and left for the Knight Academy.

I grew up alone, for the most part.

Kazuya Minegishi (MC) | Devil Survivor | HEADCANON TIME

[kingofbelheir]

When I was a kid, my mom and dad yelled a lot. I got used to shutting up and going along with whatever they told me, or get yelled at. When my cousin moved in, he was... everything my parents weren't. He helped me get away from parents and be able to make my own opinions and say how I felt to people other then them.

Then he moved out.

I still miss having him close by.

Six days before I arrived here in Johto, I'd been asked to come to Tokyo by Naoya, along with a childhood friend and my best friend. We got COMPs, specially made by Naoya, which summoned demons that tried to kill us. The only way we survived was killing them ourselves, with our bare hands. In doing so, we became demon tamers and were able to fight for our lives.

We learned that everyone we knew in Tokyo at the time would die in 7 days, and ourselves along with them if we didn't escape. We nearly died at least three times, and I nearly let my friends die much more then once. I, honestly, was scared they'd die. But we lived each time.

Angels told me that this... lockdown, the thing that had nearly killed my friends and I, was a self-righteous ordeal from God to punish humanity for releasing demons. They told me to take up the king of all demons' throne, and then become the messiah. I found my cousin, and he tells me the only way we can stop another ordeal is to kill God himself.

My friends offered many other options, but.

I don't know what to do.

Is it right to kill God?

Is it right to leave him alone, knowing God might put others what he put everyone in the lockdown through?

Is it right to follow him? Is it right to become his Messiah?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[What's that? A soapbox for Cobra to stand on and rant about everything wrong with his life ever?]

No matter what I do or how close I come to achieving my objectives, it always ends in failure! Always! And it's never my fault! It's either due to my enemies' interference or my own subordinates' incompetence! And the worst part is I can't get rid of them because where else are you going to find despicable people willing to do horrible things to the rest of the world for a widely varying pay scale! And even the robots end up being complete failures! I'd fire them all and conquer the world mysssself if it were possible, but it's not! No one man can singlehandedly conquer the world! Even I can sssee that!

And if that weren't bad enough, I've had the misssfortune of being stabbed in the back repeatedly by my own minions, been reduced to a ridiculousss subhuman snake monster, been kept as a pet by the idiot they placed in charge and fed flies! Flies! Do you know how demoralizing it is to one day hold the world in your fist and the next be reduced to eating flies out of a cage! Do you?

Then when I was finally changed back into something at least sssomewhat resembling a human being, I learned that my organization donated all of my old uniforms to charity! TO CHARITY! How dare them!

[Okay, there's everything wrong with his life back home through his canon point.]

[saxsongs]

What a tragic life you've had so far, Commander. I had no idea...

[Never mind Ren's sort of part of the people who stab your back here in this new world.]

It must have taken a long time to get yourself new uniforms.

[doitrockapella]

Henchmen.

I'll never understand why they all seem to think they deserve end-of-the-year bonuses when half the time their plans don't even work, and another quarter of the time I'm the one who has to come in personally and save them from botching it past repair.

[foolishwren]

....

You know what, my life is actually awesome and it doesn't suck for any reason whatsoever.



Yep.









I'm happy as fuck.

... HAHA, no, my life back home can suck my dick. Let's talk about something else. I hear the weather's supposed to be super-dee-duper this week.

[darkenedgales]

...

[WELL OKAY that works too.]

It'll probably only be cool if you stay home and not go anywhere.

Oh right.

You will.

[doitrockapella]

You never caught me and didn't get a computer or to go to Space Camp.

That's terrible enough to suffice, isn't it?

[beforethedarkness]

[How is he supposed to relate to this crazy girl again?

He can agree with the weather being horrible, though. At least it's easy to tell that she's being sarcastic there.]

Sion Astal | The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

[dreamsofahero]

I was sired because the former king of Roland kidnapped and raped a commoner woman, though he then discarded her when she became pregnant. Because of this my mother and I were constantly harassed and tormented by the princes, nobles, and their lackeys, called "low-born dogs" and other derogatory names. I was often beaten on any pretext, and didn't dare fight back lest my half-brothers begin to take me seriously enough to kill me for being a threat. My mother was the only person I could rely on as a child, but even back then I never understood how she could claim to be happy to have me, when were it not for my existence her life wouldn't have been such a living hell. Eventually, however, the torment was too much for her and drove her to take her own life when I was still young. Immediately following that, one of my half-brothers sent me a package containing a dead dog and a note stating that low-born dogs deserved to die.

Even that didn't end the harassment, however; the first time I began to see and go out with a young woman, again, my brothers had her killed. Since then I've never dared allow anyone to have a close enough relationship to me as to be targeted, if I could help it.

By the time I was seventeen and enrolled in the military academy I was seen as a threat; assassins were sent after me, and nearly all my classmates were slaughtered before my eyes in an ambush set for me that I unwittingly led them into. Of the two who survived, one left the country, and my best friend was imprisoned. After this I helped lead a revolution to gain control of the kingdom, during which I had to confront and kill my half-brothers as well as my father, who was reduced to no more than a madman by the time I first laid eyes on him. To accomplish this I made a contract with a "demon" to obtain the powers of a "hero"; the price of which is constant agony in all of my being, having to fight to retain my own sanity and will against that of the "hero", and being slowly turned from being human into something not.

Even after becoming king, however, the problems didn't end. A young commoner I'd befriended and made my secretary was murdered by the nobles' agents while I was powerless to punish them for it; later they also attempted the same against my best friend, though they only succeeded in injuring him. I've had to continue in secret the horrific research and experiments that I'd forbidden when I took the throne, lest I and the country be crushed in the inevitable war stirred by the various monstrous "gods" behind the world. And to save the world, I may have to either consign my best friend to a fate worse than death, or kill him to spare him from it.

I'm called a "hero king", but I've lied, manipulated, blackmailed, cheated, murdered, backstabbed, tortured, sacrificed, slaughtered, committed all manner of atrocities against friends and foes alike all in the name of the "greater good". I live every moment, waking and sleeping alike, in constant agony as a price for power, and can only hope to succeed or be slain before I go mad and become an inhuman monster. In fact, death would probably be a welcome end, but one far more than I could hope for, at that.

Sasuke Uchiha | Naruto

[beforethedarkness]

My brother has always been better than me. I loved him - I think more than anyone else in the world - but I started to resent how much better he was than me when I started training to be a ninja, and to be accepted in the Uchiha Clan. He was always a perfect ninja and a perfect son. Although I was good too, I was never as good as he was. Father never said he loved me or held me in high regard, even though mother said he did! He always compared me to my brother! He only started seeing me as my own person when he thought Itachi was a lost cause!

And he was right, because not even a week after that my brother betrayed us and killed my entire clan! I came home to find everyone dead! He tortured me with the images of him slaughtering mother and father! He left me alive, alone and as a coward too scared to fight him! I couldn't protect them because I was too weak back then. I might still be too weak now because it doesn't feel like I'm growing at all! All while Naruto, the kid who finished dead last in our class, managed to take out the monster attacking our village with enormous chakra! Where did that even come from! We were equals in the forest of death, so how did he grow so fast!?

And, even if I do get stronger, I won't be able to kill my brother unless I have the same eyes as he does! And to do that, I have to kill my best friend. And that friend is Naruto. Naruto, the only person who knows what it's like to be as alone as I am, and the only person I can really call a friend, is the person I have to kill in order to make my sharingan more powerful! And he's really strong on top of that, too! And now I'm stuck in this place with these pokemon things with no chakra and no way to train and get strong enough to kill either of them! I don't want to kill Naruto, but I have to if I want to avenge my clan!

[Deep breaths, Sasuke. Deep breaths. But considering the high emotions that go along with the topics brought up, is it any wonder that he's getting so worked up?]

Saber ♚ Fate/

[ex_cashcow493]

[ For as long as she can remember, her life has never been an enjoyable one. Born a daughter to King Uther, he had no use for a female heir to the throne. That sort of thing would only allow one of his enemies to charm a princess and marry in. Completely unacceptable, she was sent away to live with a knight.

That life wasn't too bad. All she ever wanted was to prove her worth to her father, but he grew ill before she could. Turmoil struck the land without a king and many people argued as to who should rise up. Knights competed against each other, but this girl had been too young to participate. So Merlin did what any wizard would do in that situation.

Thus the legend of the Sword in the Stone was born. She knew from the moment she withdrew the sword that everything would change. No longer could she return to a carefree life. Furthermore, she had to hide her gender. That was easy enough with a spell (a curse truly) that stunted her growth. Having to keep herself distant, she became known as an emotionless king, but one that brought victory with her everywhere she went. Not even her Knights of the Round Table could trust her, but that was to be expected really.

Twelve bloody wars later, she met her end at the blade of a homunculus born of her own blood (and semen apparently but we don't talk about Nasubullshit here.). During this time, this individual by the name of Mordred tore apart her kingdom politically, leaving her knights to fight amongst each other. Britain was at it's end of a prosperous reign and all because she was unable to allow anyone close.

So she did as any king would: plead with Gaia for a chance to set things right. With a contract formed with the world (after she completed her goal, she would be forever known as a Counter Guardian, never able to rest in peace). Since she hadn't quite died yet, she was not able to return to the Throne of Heroes as any Heroic Spirit could, so instead she waited knelt down on a red ground for the chance.

The Fourth Holy Grail War was to be her redemption. That magical artifact could grant any wish, so her's was to simply have a king who could have ruled in her absence. To undo all of the hard work she did and to simply not exist. During this war, she met many other spirits throughout history, each with their own fascination with her.

The first of these spirits was Lancer, a knight as honorable as herself. Having found someone who could rejuvenate her, Saber was happy to fight against him and later alongside him. Her Master, a man who refused to speak to her, tricked Lancer's Master however. That man known as Kayneth forced Lancer to kill himself in the middle of their duel, then Kiritsugu and Maiya eliminated Lancer's Masters (that man and his fiancee) to gain an edge in the war.

The second of these spirits was Caster, a man who mistook her for someone else. Cruel fascination caused him to rip apart the world by creating behemoths of true evil. She eliminated them with the help of Lancer before his demise and had to expose herself as King Arthur with her Noble Phantasm.

The third of these spirits was Archer, a king who thought every possession of the world belonged to him. Rightfully so, but he took even Saber as one of his possessions. Fascinated with her, he insisted she become his bride even during their final fight, distracting her in an unpredictable manner.

The fourth of these spirits was Rider, another king who dismissed her for every one of her beliefs. With the thought that a king has to conquer by being strong and selfish, his ways of ruling a land were seen as tyrannical by her.

The final spirit of interest to her was Berserker, who turned out to be one of her exiled Knights of the Round Table. Having to face him, she almost gave up, allowing him to beat on her without any fight in return. While they may have resolved things partially during their encounter, it was still one of the many burdens she carries.

Despite all of that, with the Holy Grail within her reach, that Master spoke to her in rare occurrence. By commanding her to destroy the Holy Grail. Initially she had resisted, but after the next spell, there was no willpower left. Having been forced to destroy the very object she sought out, a powerful fire engulfed the city, killing thousands of people. You know, that same fire that ruined Shirou Emiya's life.

Having been forced to return to that bloody hill, she waited until the next chance. Ten years of sentience to contemplate the past war. Why, she even failed Irisviel, who had been the only other person to show her kindness during that time. But ten years later, the Fifth Holy Grail called for her.

As the Servant to the son of her previous Master, Saber endured this war easier than the one before. Even if she was taken as a personal slave to another (Caster, fucking Casters). Even if she had to fight the future version of her Master. Even changing Masters throughout the war (a total of three times) didn't compare to the scars the previous war left her. Not even the incident of Illyasviel's death could shake her up too badly, no, that would happen long after she arrived in Route to discover that girl truly was the child of Irisviel she saw during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Despite all of that, Saber still had to do what she did during the Fourth Holy Grail War: destroy the Holy Grail a second time. This time though without failure. Never would she have the chance to finish her contract with the world, so there would be a chance to go to Avalon. Instead, she was forced to return to that bloodied hill once again to wait for the rest of eternity. Until the chance to complete that contract would occur.

And that?

That was before she arrived in Johto. Here she was able to meet a different Merlin, one that struck her fancy in ways she never thought possible. Here she was able to meet the king Arthur he followed. With the knowledge that it is possible for her wish to come true, every day spent in Johto is one of regret.

Because she has to return to that prison on the battlefield so that she could complete her wish to save Britain. ]

I do not think ill of my life so I am afraid there are no stories to tell. [ Typical Saber. ]

Xion | Kingdom Hearts

[ordalias]

[ Well, here's a story for ya. When Xion speaks about it, she's somewhat eerily calm about it as she goes, even when you might know where it leads. Don't worry, it's actually kind of a short one.

357. She lived that long, with the majority of that life thinking she was a part of a group called Organization XIII as its XIVth member. They're a group of Nobodies, people who have lost their heart but still retain their memories and body. That said, they're not even allowed to exist by default. It wasn't bad in the beginning: she got to meet her two best friends, Roxas and Axel from it. Then she started showing signs of "defectiveness:" her Keyblade wouldn't come to her for a time, and in the Organization, if you weren't useful, you'd be transformed into a lesser being, or even outright destroyed.

Even when she did finally recovered the use of her Keyblade, an "imposter" Riku, took her down so easily and called her precious weapon a "sham." Add to this and being labeled as a constant "failure" by her superiors, she began to get confused and frustrated with her life. She wanted answers, and she got them, though not the ones she expected.

Xion is a Replica, a more borrowed sort of being composed of someone else's memories. The Organization plotted to do away with either her or her best friend Roxas: they wanted one to absorb the other so that they could control a Keyblade wielder. Several times Xion ran and was forcibly pulled back, but the last time was sealed as she fought her best friend Axel, and then subsequently brought back to her boss, Xemnas, who experimented on her further.

So... yeah. Despite the trio being the best of friends, making promises never to forget each other and always stick together... it couldn't happen. Xion next fought Roxas in a more monstrous form on her own decision that she be the one to go, despite what it would mean: total erasure. As she was made up of memories, any memories of her own person would also go away. Died and forgotten, she went back to where she belonged, sometimes consciously aware, but for the most part, resting from such a traumatic experience. ]

Phew... But you know... I don't mind it all. It was a decision I made, despite the hurt it caused and the fact that all I wanted was to be with my best friends... I made things right. And... I know that things will be made even better.

[lightningbearer]

....somehow, I stumbled across the True Lightning Rune, and it chose me as its bearer. Because of that, I've lived decades without aging a single day since, trapped in this life by the rune's power. I've seen nearly every person I've cared about die, whether slain or by old age, and will outlive everyone else I've met and will ever meet. Because its power is so coveted, I have to hide the rune, so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

I'll probably be forced to continue this way, unless I'm slain by some accident or the rune chooses a new bearer, until the end of time.

*.......yeah, he could use another drink :|*

[kisspokepoke]

That's terrible! Maybe you can, um...you know...talk to it and see if it'll let everyone live forever with you. Or...something... [ You're kind of a jerk, but now she feels bad for you!

Until... ]

...Wait, is this a story?

Illidan Stormrage | Warcraft

[forcefateshand]

I was imprisoned for ten thousand years.

Then I was banished from my own homeland.

My own brother thinks of me as a monster for the choices I've made, and the woman I love, our mutual best friend from childhood, chose him over me.

I have tried dozens of times to save my world. Sometimes I have succeeded. Never have my attempts been recognized. Sometimes I have been even been punished for them. My last attempt ended in my defeat and near-death, and because of my failure, a powerful demon lord, perhaps the most powerful in existence and certainly the most cunning, wants my head. I was still recovering and preparing for his attack when this world pulled me into it.

But I will not give up. I will keep going. I will find a way through this. I am Illidan Stormrage.

I will never fall.

[Oh Illidan, if you only knew...]

Danny Fenton | Danny Phantom

[nasa_dreams]

Got electrocuted in my parents' latest invention and woke up with ghost powers.

Unfortunately, it also opened up a portal to the ghost world, and they all decided to come out and attack on a regular basis. So I had that to deal with, and being a freshman in high school, and keeping it from my parents because yeah, they probably would've...experimented or something.

Then there's Vlad Masters. Ugh, that guy is just so...

Well, in the end, I managed to save the entire planet from a giant asteroid, and got recognized the world over as a hero, so that's pretty epic. I got the girl too. Heh.

Chi Yamada | Chi's Sweet Home/New Address

Daddy took Chi to the bad place with the bow-wows and they POKED CHI'S BUTT!

[pinnedbangs]

EITHER WAY HE IS GOING TO LAUGH AT HER. I mean, chuckle. I mean, he's not laughing.]

Other Mother | Coraline | Mostly Headcanon OTL

[otherisbetter]

I killed my Mother after she tried to burn me alive. She always thought I was a little different, and, one day, she just assumed I was a witch, beat me around the head and attempted to light me on fire. I got out, and, like most people, realized I wasn't too safe with her around, so I ran outside, got the shovel and buried her alive.

It took a few chances, though. People are surprisingly strong when they're fighting for their lives.

So, after that, I thought, why not become a witch? Develop the powers to protect children who were just like me. Little girls and boys who had Fathers who left them and Mothers who beat them.

There was a little catch when I traded my soul for eternal life and incredible power, though, apparently I'd have to devour souls of children or I'd starve to death. I was a little worried, but I realized that I could just eat the children who didn't really love me. Problem solved! But I wanted my children to have a wonderful Father, so I made one out of a pumpkin. One who happened to betray me and leave me to die in my own magical realm when I'd given him everything he'd ever wanted.

People can be so ungrateful, can't they?

Oh, and I suppose I'm cripplingly afraid of being alone, unloved and unwanted. I suppose you could say I've never really believed anyone has loved me for me; they just love the things I can give them or they love me because they were made to. Just once, I'd like for someone to look me right in the eyes and say, from the very bottom of heir heart 'I love you'.

But we can't always get what we want, can we? So I'll just help children who will never really care about me no matter how hard I try to please them, even though every time I do I think it'd be more fun just to starve to death than be rejected once more.
