Why do these people plague my RP?
Incidentally, I posted one of these bios to bad_rpers_suck as I believe it to be the most cliched character bio ever written. I mean, really.
Story Or Series Title: Case Files
Fandom: Hellboy
Culprit Author's Name: "nodnarbbackwards"
Full Name (plus titles if any): "Never spoken for so long, even he forgot it..." aka Pheonix, "A name given and adopted by most after his aquiring a mystical pyro sword"
Full Species(es): Full-blooded Gary Stu. I mean, human
Hair Color (include adjectives): "shoulder blade-length jet black hair...like that of a samurai"
Eye Color (include adjectives): "deep blue, the colour of the raging sea" *gags*
Unusual Markings/Colorations: "his appearance is dark and forboding of his power"
Special Possessions (if any): many "paranormal" items, including inpenetrable chain mail, that "mystical pyro sword" mentioned earlier, and wristbands that can generate force fields and "revel" invisible objects. Said wristbands also have other "unknown" powers.
Annoying Origin: China (so... he's a ninja... who was trained in China?)
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: None. Thank god for small favours.
Annoying Special Abilities: OMGSUPER!NINJA JUST LIKE IN CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON AND HERO!!!!1111one1!1
Other Annoying Traits: he appears to be completely devoid of any human emotion, the perfect rutheless killer.
Please include a small sample of the worst of this story: Taken from his bio: "In his early/middle twenties, he left the temple a master. He had a strong bond with his previous master, though, the only real bond he ever had. The man was like a father to him. It grieved him much to leave his master, and he was depressed for a good while afterwards, that is, until he met up with someone in need of his services. This is where his tale as a hunter began.
"Two years after he left the temple, he was already the most feared assassin ever heard of. Many thought him a legend, others saying he was something not of this world, some dark spirit come to bring upon some evil plague of death. In reality, he was nothing more than a man, lost in the cruel world."
Sigh. And there's more...
Story Or Series Title: Case Files (RP)
Fandom: Hellboy
Culprit Author's Name: "Anime Magicain" (her spelling, not mine)
Full Name (plus titles if any): Luna Hoshi Usagi

Hair Color (include adjectives): "black hair that has silver tips on it and flows to her middle back in waves"
Eye Color (include adjectives): "blue eyes that show her emotion sometimes"
Unusual Markings/Colorations: none
Special Possessions (if any): twin swords that were passed down to her, family heirlooms
Annoying Origin: She's supposedly from Japan. I don't believe it.
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: None
Annoying Special Abilities: Can make and control light, especially moonlight. Is also an "expert martial artist" (no specific type of martial arts is given).
Other Annoying Traits: She's pure and innocent and perfect. Also, her mother died when she was 14.
Please include a small sample of the worst of this story: This was what she gave as a sample of her roleplaying: "Soft music was played in the background as a beautiful figure danced. She moved in time with the beet, moving gracefully across the floor. A man watched her as she came to a stop. “That was beautiful Luna.” He said softly and walked up to her. Luna smiled and curtsied. “Thank you Mamaru.” She said just as softy. “You are perfect for the part.” Mamaru smiled.
"Luna smiled and nodded. “I’m glad you think so Mamaru-kun, I am hoping I don’t make a fool of myself tomorrow.” She said and he shook his head. “You’ll do fine tomorrow Luna.” He smiled and cupped her face with a hand. She smiled at him before standing on her tiptoes and kissed him."
*gags*
Just... ew. On both counts.
And because I'm a mod, it's my job to tell these people that their bios are ridiculous. You should have heard the first guy's response to me - he didn't think his character waas a cliche at all. Nor did he think that he was overpowered, never mind that he's a master in his early twenties and has armour that makes him invulnerable to any sort of attack.
Why do people DO this?
