Post something funny, then not funny about your character(s)!

Petaldancer

Not Funny... Her entire former tribe is dead, she's lost many friends close to her, has been brutally tortured twice and blinded.

Drige-Thosto
Funny! He is the lovable neighborhood crazy guy who is mostly harmless and always happy to help in his own unique way! Like wearing random hats and bashing in the skulls of animals with a frying pan. And proceeding to scream at trees about owed money.
Not Funny... How did he lose his sanity? Many many years of complete solitude leading to depression and suicidal tendencies that broke his mind.

Cateth-Vesrri
Funny! After studying a glitch hive-mind village for 5 years, pretending to be one of them, speaking with prefixes became a subconscious habit she has thus been unable to break. Ever try to lie your way out of a situation when you state that you're lying at the beginning?
Not Funny... Her ship ran out of fuel jumping into the Antares Sector. Where does it come to a rest? Why a tentacle infested planet in the X-Sector of course, being unable to go closer to the core-worlds. But she totally didn't pick up anything that might cause her pain and misery later...
