Wow, it's 5:45 and I still almost forgot to put this up.

Still. Almost.

Who's the craziest person your character has ever known, and what was their relationship like?

Comments

[boston_bruiser]

Voodoo is the craziest person he knows.

He get it from his mun.

John - Dutch. Definitely Dutch.

Mako - well eventually it'll be Korra, and we all know how that'll turn out. But as of right now? No clue. Maybe Shady Shin?

[haole_cop]

Steve.

The answer is always Steve.

Danny would like to share with you this time Steve decided to get through a door with a grenade.

I would classify their early relationship as volatile. Danny spends a lot of time complaining about Steve and calling him crazy. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the earlier DE answers that question a lot more thoroughly.

[crabbycustomer]

a) TOO CLOSE TO CALL.

b) Invariably, romantic.

Karkat is almost invariably attracted and attractive to psychopaths. But on the other hand, until Milliways he barely ever knew anyone who WASN'T crazy.

[kd7sov]

Their mun.

For Felix, that would be the fortune-teller in Shaman Village. He is... very wild in making his predictions, though they're valid as far as they go. (Which isn't very far; they boil down to "Don't go [compass direction of the next plot point]. It's dangerous over there.")

Kain... it probably depends on whether he's met Edge. Which is certainly feasible, given one's one of his kingdom's major military leaders and the other's a prince, but I don't know whether it's happened.

Fluttershy, though she "would neverever in a million years" call her so, knows Pinkie Pie. They're good friends, and it's even possible they've known each other longer than most of the other pairs in the mane six.

[no_vampires_plz]

I think everypony's answer to this question would be "Pinkie Pie." Even Pinkie Pie would be hard-pressed to name somepony crazier than she is.

[hey35andholding]

*DIES* Pinkie in my head keeps insisting Discord. She only wishes she could make it rain chocolate.

[baron_dragoon]

Oh, duh.

If Kain hasn't met Edge yet, his answer would definitely be Cid. Who's more "overexcited lovable old coot" than anything else.

[hey35andholding]

*DIES* my response was almost "Can she suggest herself?" but I ddidn't want to.

(We need to thread them more!)

There are so very, very, very many people in Ellen's world who could contend for this position. So. Many.

Moira Brown, for whom Ellen went through six or seven different kinds of hell; the end result was the Wasteland Survival Guide, with Ellen's name on it as co-author.
Tanya "The AntAgonizer" Christoff, who decided that her family's death by raiders and with no one coming to their assistance was grounds to plot the destruction of the human race using her control over giant ants, and wear an ant-themed costume; Ellen talked her into changing her mind, and she's currently living quite happily in a lesbian relationship with an ex-prostitute from Megaton, using her ant control powers to help patrol the area around Megaton and Springvale
Scott "The Mechanist" Wollinski, whose favorite robot was destroyed by Tanya's ants; he built himself a rather sad-looking robot suit and declared himself the hero of Canterbury and proceeded to battle Tanya with his fleet of robots, right up until Tyler and Ellen talked him into realizing that he was doing more harm than good; he's currently working as Canterbury's mechanic, but still has speechy tendencies and the occasional fit of wanting to put the bucket helmet on and wield the cold unfeeling pincers of justice
The adults of Andale, who were the most cheerful, pleasant, clean-scrubbed, well spoken, intelligent, heavily inbred Republican cannibals Ellen ever met; their two hundred year tradition of ambushing travelers and slaughtering them for meat rather than learning to scavenge and subsistence farm like decent folk got them and their town burned to ashes, and their children and repentant grandfather joined the Family (a group of ex-cannibals who drank blood and acted like vampires much like a heroin addict uses methadone instead of H)
I'd say the Family but they're actually pretty sane about what they do and why, and they don't think they're actually legendary creatures of the night, so...
President John Henry Eden, the AI leader of the Enclave, who had planned to wipe out all mutants in the Capital Wasteland in order to give pure humanity all the resources that were left; he committed suicide when Ellen pointed out the flaws in his plan
Button Gwinnett, the Protectron in the National Archives who had developed the delusion that he was, in fact, the second signer of the Declaration of Independence; once he was informed that the Revolution had been a success and that they would take care of the Declaration for him from then on, he shut himself down for a long rest
Sierra Petrovita, who was obsessed with Nuka-Cola and all its products to the point of having a museum thereof and operating a cooking with Nuka contest every year; Ellen just turned around and left after the museum tour
Oh, and 9/10 of the Treeminders, who eschew technology beyond the basic hunting rifle and worship a guy who's turning into a tree despite him telling them repeatedly and loudly that he is in no way a god.

Going purely by the comics--Deadpool. His relationship with Steve/Captain America seems to be more or less antagonistic, depending on what side of the good/evil line Deadpool is on that day.

[death_gone_mad]

Hmm... well, let's see... from the point in the timeline I am playing from, Melzar the Mad has probably gone mad already, but I doubt anyone but Evil Chicken might know him and then only in passing.

The leader of the Menaphite thugs (who are Amascut worshipers even though its supposed to be impossible to be an Amascut worshiper) is a bit nuts. Amascut probably just thinks he's a useful idiot.

[gavin62truck]

For Tommy, it would be Sheila, his cousin Jimmy's widow. At first their relationship was merely romantic, both in it for the sex and the comfort, having lost someone they both loved. Buuuut things got complicated, Sheila got desperate, Tommy was an asshole, and they broke up. During the course of the series they have an on again, off again relationship, in which Sheila becomes increasingly batshit insane -- like drugging him with roofies and Viagra; cuffing him to her bed and messing around with a cigarette lighter; and basically just losing her shit so much over everything, including one outburst resulting in a house burning down with her and Tommy in it. God I love this goddamn show.

For Lou, the craziest person he knows is Tommy. Lou sees firsthand all the risks Tommy takes on the job, and while he may not always agree with his daredevil tactics, he makes an exception for him because he feels that Tommy is the good kind of crazy. But sometimes Lou has to keep Tommy in check, to bring him back down to reality, and remind him that he can be a real asshole. And sometimes Tommy takes it for granted that Lou is going to cover for him when he screws up. But through thick and thin, they'll always remain BFFs.

[ceitfianna]

This is a fun question.

I think for Will that person would be Atton, hands down, and he loves his type of crazy.

For Charles, I think possibly Erik or Raven, neither of them are crazy per se, they're just far more impulsive than he is. Crazy is also one of those words that he doesn't like to use.

With William, that's fairly easy and is Katya, he adores her but he doesn't understand her and doesn't expect to ever get her.

I think with Sameth, it would be Yrael without much question. He's always been the chaotic, don't poke him person in his life.

Demeter is a Greek goddess, so really anyone in her family would fit this. She would probably say it was Zeus as that much power isn't good for anyone.

For Jane, I think it would be Tom, but in a good way. He changed the way she saw the world.

With Moist, he would say Urquhart because while Urquhart considers himself reasonable, Moist sees him as chaotic and dangerous. At first that was a rush until it became a liability.

Tumnus, that would be Fenris, the captain of the White Witch's guard, he was scary.

The Pirate King is the craziest person he knows and proud of it, Frederic is close behind but his kind of crazy is the too lawful kind.

[the_gene_genie]

70s!Gene - Sam Tyler. Always talking about being from the future, and flaunting his new-fangled ways of policing...and then passing out/getting high/babbling about medication/doing general mad shit. And the way he treats women - like they might actually be able to do a bloke's job! Insane.

They end up best mates.

80s!Gene - Alex Drake. Just...beyond annoying, and insane. Worse even that the normal mentalness out of bird's mouths. She gets all morbid when they should be celebrating, and talks about them all being figments of her imagination. Punches like a bloke, drinks like a fish, looks damn good when dressed up like a prozzie. Zero common sense, and frequently gets herself into situations that require the Gene Genie to step in and save her bony arse.

Love of his life.

[bjornwilde]

Andrea says it's Kate Daniels. She called the leader of 2500 shape-shifters "Kitty". They became best friends, of course.

[jjprobert]

At the moment, Alfred doesn't know. Once he's through a bit more canon, he'd say (discretely, and only to his face) it's Bruce.

Bean says it's Achilles. Bean would far sooner have nothing more to do with the sociopath that is Achilles. Unfortunately, Achilles holds grudges and kills people who've made him feel weak...

Max would say that it's Father Francisco del Piero. They went their separate ways some years ago, but they were generally antagonistic to each other, though there was a measure of respect there.

Jack would say Kallis. Jack considers him a 'Cold-blooded psychopath', though, he will concede that Kallis is an excellent soldier, when you are willing to accept the collateral damage that often occurs...

[damncompass]

Orion thinks his niece Bellatrix is the craziest person who could ever live. Even crazier than His Nibs himself.

Joshua would never tell his sister, but he thinks Artie's just bugnuts. He doesn't exactly trust him with Claudia, but he doesn't want to tell her and lose her.

[cameoflage]

Aradia: While there are several batshit crazy trolls, I'm gonna have to go with Vriska, who's crazy as a bag full of spiders and has an ego the size of the sun. Vriska killed Aradia, in revenge for Aradia siccing the ghosts of Vriska's previous victims on her. (Aradia later killed Vriska right back, during their SGRUB session.)

Dr Thurlow: I'm fuzzy on whether they've met at this canon point but I'm still gonna go with the Topsy King. He's the leader of a band of rat-eating vagrants who live on the rooftops of London, and he speaks almost entirely in some kind of gibberish language. (It can be partially deciphered, with practice.) This means that having a conversation with him calls for a lot of pantomime.

At later canon points, Thurlow will first take some odd jobs from him and then discover that he's one of the players they need to round up for a legendary high-stakes card game known as the Marvellous. Which means they have to pry into his backstory to find something they can use to bribe or convince him. They end up doing him a pretty big favour to get him to play.

[hey35andholding]

Clementine: Crazy is canon. Absolutely and irrevocably. Terry? Craig, The Truckee River Killer? Alvarez? The dude who keeps going to the brothel and doing untoward things? She knows all of them as perps, but Alvarez did try to kill her.

Dixie: Professor Wickwire!! He's good-crazy. they're sadly barely acquainted.

Jules: Shawn. The man she's in love with, sigh. But on the bad-crazy side there's been so many, and all are perps.

Pinkie Pie: Discord. Hands down.
