Well since Harpa mentioned a real event, I have to use one, I read a book a couple years back, and I started re reading it, and it made me feel pretty bad for these people. Just imagine this for a moment, your on a ship that is going to take you to a company party, you don't get paid a lot of money, and you live in a small apartment, so your looking forward to this event. When your on said boat, it suddenly without warning capsizes while still moored to the dock, and you die. What I just described was the worst ship disaster that no one ever remember, the capsizing of the SS Eastland in 1915, it was really bad, 844 innocence people died, a lot of family just ceased to exist. Can you just imagine, seeing a large ship capsize in port, and seeing people try to stay afloat, only to sink and never be seen again, its depressing.

I'll say the Jedi Exile from KOTOR 2. Her life just became absolute crap from the moment she decided to fight in the Mandalorian Wars. Which were 10 years before the game where even worse stuff piles itself on top of that.

She had a name, can't remember it at the moment, and yeah, kind of screwed over, damn Jedi!

She had a name, can't remember it at the moment, and yeah, kind of screwed over, damn Jedi! Meetra Surik. Anyways, I've got another. This guy isn't a character or anything, but real people have been posted in this thread and, well, just watch this. It's a letter from a man named Sullivan Ballou to his wife Sarah at the beginning of the American Civil War. I got misty eyed when we watched this video in my history class. The guy just loved his wife so much.

The part that qualifies this for a place in the "feel bad for" thread is the final lines of the video. From the Narrator. This guy was obviously in love with his wife, but he never made it home. It made me feel sorry for her, and for him and their kids and everyone who doesn't come back from the atrocity known as war.

Yeah, feel sorry is correct, wonder what battle it was, I am actually pretty knowledgeable in Civil War history.

Bio, the narrator states that it was the First Battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the Civil War. The Union got its ass kicked so hard some soldiers literally ran all the way back to DC. Hundreds of civilians also attended the battle and watched the carnage from a distance while having a picnic because they were convinced that it would be the last battle of the war as well as the first, and they ended up joining the retreating northern soldiers. It's also the battle where Confederate General Thomas Jackson got his nickname "Stonewall" when he and his men held the line against a major Federal assault.
I love the American Civil War.

Fuck me, how did I miss that. I am very well aware of First Bullrun, or Manasas if your a southerner, I have several relatives that were in it, from Bullrun to Gettysburg to Chattanooga to Cold Harbor.

Hamrys the coffinmaker, from Planescape: Torment.
When you first meet him, he's in his coffin shop talking to this "patron." The poor guy is actually a corpse that was raised from the dead for the purpose of keeping Hamrys occupied, so that nobody else would have to listen to him. The corpse wants you to help end its not-life, and you can explain to Hamrys while this is going on that the person he's been talking to all this time isn't actually alive. It's kind of funny because he never even noticed, but it's also really sad.
I felt bad for the corpse (and put it to rest, as it wished), but I felt bad for Hamrys, too, because he's so alone. He talks a hell of a lot, but you can find out that his father died not too long ago. Nobody wants to talk to him because he talks so much, which only makes him talk more when he gets someone to talk to, which makes that person he's talking to not want to talk to him because he talks so damn much. I don't know, it just seemed sad to me.

Tim, from Marble Hornets. By Season Two, we find out that Tim is Masky. You may remember him as my profile picture. Masky has done all sorts of horrible things, whether with good intentions or not is unclear. Tim doesn't remember anything as Masky, and he's not responsible for his actions as Masky. Later, we find out that Tim can suppress this alternate personality by taking certain medication, and for a while, he's back to normal, but early into Season 3, Jay, the protagonist, drags Tim back into the whole mess with the Operator, Alex, and totheark(my profile picture). He lies to Tim, telling him that he needs his help to finish the movie Marble Hornets(The movie being mysterious canceled by Alex is what starts the series). Lying to Tim, Jay drags him to different places, and gets him involved once again. Tim finds out, but it's too late. He's forced into helping Jay(They do eventually become friends, but still), and now he's in danger again.
Later into Season 3, we find out that Tim has been dealing with all of this since he was a child. Hallucinations that he now knows may not be hallucinations, seizures, headaches, coughing fits, etc. Blacking out and waking up days or months later with no recollection of what happened, now knowing he's been going around wearing a mask doing horrible things. He begins to blame himself for everything that happened, involving everyone else into the whole mess with the operator just by being their friends back when filming Marble Hornets.
Short version: Nothing goes right for Tim. Nothing.
