What’s one of your characters worst injuries/painful experiences?

lorelei: was stabbed. through her cheek. that was a fun one and of course i wrote about it
cisco: had his finger cut off as part of a ritual he was forced into. he did not consent. he was kidnapped
jo: an injury pertaining to self harm, so i'm not going to describe it. the biggest thing to note is that he didn't actually harm himself. he would never, not after his brother's suicide. he was possessed, and the ghost tried to kill him using that method.
catori: stabbed through her fucking heart and literally killed, only to be resurrected with the sword in her god damn chest. she was fine but like.

i had a character once who's eye was removed using a pocket knife while she was restrained in a dark basement. it was her knife and she was far from sedated.

Blythe: Lost her left leg from the knee down in a battle. Severely infected compound fracture. Has tons of physical scars from fighting people and also has some self-inflicted cuts from a lonely point in her time. She has been diagnosed with PTSD, depression and anxiety. Sort of has androphobia but not really because it kinda depends and it's really hard to explain.
Peter: Had a large concrete slab fall on his legs and crushes them (in the same battle as Blythe). Ends up losing both from mid-thigh down. He still gets kinda depressed about it but, in Blythe's words, "It was you or your legs. And I was not losing you."

Nathaniel: Got shot down by a duck hunter when he was eight and landed on his back, crushing his wings and permanently crippling them

None of my characters get out unscarred, but these are the worst ones.

Ruby: Has fire powers, her hands were put in fire proof cuffs, she tried to burn them, but instead just burned herself.
Fern: Had lines branded onto her forearm everyday for 42 days in a row.
Ferrin: Made the mistake of trying to stop Fern, got sliced in the shoulder by a broadsword. It got infected and he had a high fever.
Columbine: Tried to run into a burning building to save her mom, she's the healer so…
Xavier: Got attacked by an angry porcupine.
Zephyr: Got shot in the leg by an arrow, thankfully it wasn't poisoned unlike the arrows he uses.
Adam: His leg was crushed, he had to get it amputated at the hip, his other foot was also crushed and had to be amputated at the knee, the amputation surgery didn't have modern sedatives.

Valen: His right eye was cut in half by a whip at a certain point when he was captured and interrogated by the enemy.
Arven: He was tortured for so long he lost his mind, and had his armor fused to his body. They kept at it until he became a mindless vessel of hate, and then they used him to attack his old friends who he didn't even remember.
Sasha: He got trapped in a oil fire, and ended up burning his face quite badly.
Boa: Boa was shredded alive, and then brought back from the dead by having his heart tied to a monster. What they didn't know is that he actually was resurrected, and as they tied his heart and soul to the monster, his body manifested and nearly killed him again. Long story short, some aliens interfered, and essentially re-built him. He's alive now, but has a LOT of synthetic bones and joints, terrible scarring, and since he's tied to the monster, he's in constant pain and feels whatever the thing feels. It's very complicated. His heart is synthetic, since his organic heart was stolen, and with his soul essentially cut in half, there's a lot going on.
Ranir: Ranir, once she ages, will find out that despite her best efforts and precautions, she's developing Whitebreath. Caused by breathing the toxic air of the swamp-lands, it's like black lung. Small white crystals begin to develop in a person's lungs over time, depending on exposure, and they make it incredibly painful to breath. They don't have a cure, or any remedy, asides from lung transplant, but by the time she realizes what's happening, there's no chance of that happening. Hers will never get bad enough to kill her before old age does, but for the rest of her life, breathing is a highly unpleasant experience.

Both my characters are living through a mutagenic apocalypse that has killed most humans, but Jason had his arm 90% ripped off my his mutated pet bird after it was enslaved by a supernatural warlord.

Oblivion was ripped away from his brother in an orphanage at age 3, left alone in a world where everyone seemed to hate him.

Colby: Got sliced across her back by Duxe, while he was being controlled. Colby was attempting to save Catiline who was Duxe's initial target.
Duxe: Almost mauled to death by a shard (a monster completely made of glass). Got some good slices to the face.
Tyler: Got slashed with a double sided scythe across the chest, not gonna go into detail here, but let's just say that you could see organs you just shouldn't have. _{and he died…I miss my baby :<}
Catiline: Had both arms dislocated while being dragged across a field by a horse designed to kill.
Kandy: Stabbed directly through her nose. Then had it ripped out of her face only to be stabbed again through her chest. _{She also died…}
Hunter: Right arm got completely burned while trying to move wood that was on fire in a successful attempt to save Duxe.

Naomi has any number of injuries sustained during her military career (I said volumes right there); the most obvious are a broken nose and getting the right side of her face ripped open by horrifying sand creatures (she came within a hair's breadth of losing an eye). Afterwards, she lost a leg to horrifying deep-sea creatures (and now uses a prosthesis).

CJ is also former military. He spent most of his career patching up Naomi and her compatriots, and Saw Some Shit as a result.

Brandee got her hand deliberately slammed in a car door.

Kieron has recently taken up a particularly arduous sport. While he hasn't done worse than strain himself and rip calluses so far: it's only a matter of time if he keeps it up. And then, there's the time when a demon (for want of a better word) smacked him across the room and carved up his love handle for him.

The Betrayed Veteran has any number of injuries sustained during her military career (I said volumes right there); the most obvious are a broken nose and getting the right side of her face ripped open by horrifying sand creatures (she came within a hair's breadth of losing an eye). Afterwards, she lost a leg to horrifying deep-sea creatures (and now uses a prosthesis).

The Sorrowing Medic is also former military. He spent most of his career patching up the Veteran and her compatriots, and Saw Some Shit as a result.

The Frustrated Mechanic got her hand deliberately slammed in a car door.

The Naïve Powerhouse has taken up a particularly arduous sport. While he hasn't done worse than strain himself and rip calluses so far: it's only a matter of time if he keeps it up. And then, there's the time when a demon (for want of a better word) smacked him across the room and carved up his love handle for him.

Side note, I've been seeing your characters around a lot, and I really like them :)

To take this thread to a slightly more humorous place:

Illka 'Colin', Festus, Anye 'Mattie', Inox 'Orville', Nettye 'Dara', Ddreuuga 'Ruth', Extul 'Chloe', Tivahe 'Natasha', Vitahr 'Roland', Kalli 'Bob', Rihvax 'Lucy', and Vetu 'Fritz' all are repeat offender thieves who met in their planet's prison. They'd all already lost both their hands, and were fixin to lose more than that, so they decided to escape and come to earth together.
Losing hands is very painful, they will tell you. But what's more painful is trying to live together and function with only three prosthetics to share among them. Also to pass off as NORMAL humans! Doing NORMAL human things! : D

Slightly more seriously, my guy Ro got messed up at a certain point. He nearly lost his jaw, (Like, the skin was ripped, the muscles were torn, his bone was broken, in SEVERAL places, etc), had most the skin ripped off his face, and got skewered through his stomach by a metal rod. Car crashes are no joke, kids.
You'll be happy to hear his cat escaped with minimal injury. Athletic lady leaped, tucked, and rolled as neatly as you please. She actually landed ahead of the car as it flipped, and darted back under it as it came down for a landing. Her paws are a bit scrapped, and she's very sore now (she ain't no spring chicken), but she'll be okay.

Ok, many of my projects involve awful injuries to characters so here are some:
From my comic.
-Milo: pretty much everything, the man can regenerate so he has lost limbs, eyes, skin, teeth, got stabbed, cut, shot, everything.
-Wren: has broken a few ribs and gone under different surgeries before.
-Eli and Isla: both father and daugther have burned their fingerprints off.
-Ezekiel: Got half of his face burned.

Nameless sci-fy project
-Laelhan: got several burns on the right side of her face to the point she partially lost hearing in one ear, besides having multiple bullet wounds.
-Iure: broke everything from her pelvis to her feet to the point she needed over a year of therapy to walk again plus implants on her legs (alien technology crap).
-Axel: lost an arm, a leg and an eye.
-Ke'Rel: a veteran who broke lots of bones and most of them never properly heals, is inpain most of the time and needs a cane to walk.
-Ahir: lost a few fingers, an eye, a whole arm, needs metal implants on his jaw and replacements for a few sensory organs.

Project Failure
-Dineke: has been experimented on since childhood, has lost skin, organs, broken bones, got her nails ripped off, all because she can somehow renegerane them.
-Jan: was beaten and sedate, plus had surgery practiced on him to attach a device to his chest, which he tried to ripped off at some point an it didn't go well.

Cameron getting bit by a gerbil at age 12

Chester: Was forced into a world that hates his kind, they torture him and scrap him for parts. He's broken, worse than before now.
Lincoln: When he was just a few years old, he somehow ended up on the other side of the walls, he inhaled the air and hasn't felt normal since.
Harli: His best and only friend died, the only one who ever really cared about him as he is. Then a week later his town was bombed. He was the only survivor.
Oscar: Found his mom's mutilated body in a freezer in his basement.
Landers: Was punished in unspeakable ways. He doesn't know how bad what they did to him was.
The prince: His father forced him to take certain jobs to harden him. One of the jobs was surveying lost lives, seeing a life from it's beginning to it's end, so they can be sorted. He found the job boring, but there was one life he went through that has stuck with him, in a bad way. The life was a young girl living with her grandfather, who couldn't walk or do much of anything. She'd left to get something from the store one day and was taken by a few adult men, and well…. you can imagine what happened after. She never came home.

(Most of these are emotional pain…)

One of my guys got his whole eyeball casually scraped out with like a potsherd in the middle of an intense battle, and he kept fighting anyway. Another boy actually got ripped apart altogether and sewn back together again. The latter still isn't okay btw.

I only just saw this response. Thank you!

Wisp was running from an explosion and got hit in the face with a piece of metal. She lost her eye, and it sliced her face. She had just barely recovered from that when she fell and hit her head. Now she has a limp and can't control one of her arms.

No prob! :D

TW: ABUSE My protag, Juliet, was abused for being autistic. Her parents' favorite punishment was to use a BDSM flogger on her if she did anything like stimming, or refusing to come in contact with aversive stimuli. (Keep in mind that an autistic person's pain centers light up under a brain scan when they are exposed to their sensory triggers.)
