I'm not sure the Enoby Archetype is limited to novice players. Then again, if that's what they wanna do, that's what they wanna do, so who am I to judge?

Unless I'm the GM, in which case I [i]do[/i] get to judge, and those sorts of characters wouldn't be welcome. I file them under 'my game is being used as a vehicle for a character to fulfil their power-tripping wishes' which doesn't indicate the 'let's all tell the best story we can together' attitude that I like to see.

But yes, I've also been 2edgy4u. How about a guy with punk hair who randomly kidnaps a queen so as to get leverage to bargain for the object of his desires, a plot-trinket that I'd dreamed up basically to give my dreadful piece of asshole something assholey to do - in the first post. I then spent the rest of the game making up arbitrary nonsense to explain how my character could get away with being pointlessly antagonistic to everybody else and get away with it. My favourite was that the aforementioned plot-trinket kind of cast an aura of pacifism around it so my guy literally couldn't be hurt unless he himself had the intent to harm the person who was trying to hurt him (sometimes: I kinda forgot he had it or something). This plot-trinket was supposed to give him like super water elemental powers and had nothing to do with whatever gibberish I later spewed to justify my character's drivel. He was officially what I was calling a Grand Magistrial (legit might still use that as a term for something) without ever really clarifying whether that was his race or his rank or his religion or what. He was just [i]so[/i] badass it didn't matter.

Fortunately, the whole thing was garbage and was at one point interrupted by a character who then randomly turned out to be literally goddamn canonically omnipotent and was once treated to "in 1 swing [Jig's Character's] head got chopped off loljk" as a random aside in another player's post, so I'm glad I didn't spoil a [i]good[/i] game for anybody else and I do remember all three players being really excited to see how badass we could be and where the 'story' would go.

Unfortunately, I wheeled out the same crock of nonsense in a different game where two player characters were having an official duel in front of crowds and shit and without so much as posting a sheet I swept in, used crazy water magic to kill one of them and walk off, cool af, being like "you people are assholes". In my defence, I hadn't realised who was a player character and who wasn't, though I subsequently found that actually reading an IC or properly joining a game with sheets and such rather than waltzing in on your own personal red carpet kinda stops you from straight-up walking into somebody else's game and wrecking it. It had a happy ending: a mod tidied up my mess and I learned a valuable lesson about, well, about how RP's actually function outside that specific subgenre of dribble where you can be basically immortal just because you feel like it at the time.

I like to think I've improved since then.
