** Evo can easily invoke this. The characters have no friends, some people get permanently and horribly mutilated before the game even starts and even if they win, there's a chance if their change was too great they'd never let them go home and they'd be an experiment forever.

It\'s a very silly thing, to generalize to three examples! So I removed the three examples over in v4, and placed \"World of Woobie\" over in general. That way, it\'s less biased since, hey, it\'s hard to narrow it down.

* TheWoobie: Given the setting, there are bound to be tons of these. Some of the more notable ones, however, are Orn "Dutchy" Ayers, Tabi Gweneth, and Felicia Carmichael.

Add in his in-game posts, which makes many handlers see him as TheWoobie, and his habit of wearing a PointlessBandAid over his nose, and you have a character who [[EnsembleDarkhorse most of the board adores]].
