| FragilE^ said: As for the OP, not really. Even bad characters usually fit some necessary role in the end. There are probably a few though.. |
They're sole roles are to waste the main characters time. To allow a plot point to go forward. Which would normally be prevented. For Fii's case, in Skyward sword. She'd be in a catorgory for UI Harasment. I'm still sayign she was spawned from Cortana and the Windows Paper Clip assistant.
EX: Steve in Code Veronica. They would of escaped, if he didn't cause the gas leak, captured, causing various delays. As he popped up. And his worthless father stuff. It's an Issue because the character is not done well, to ignore that this is his sole reason for exsistance, in the game.
EX: The stupid kid in Mass Effect 3. Same issue as above.
Or to extend the time of the game. Through bad choice, annoyance, foolishness, or betrayal.
EX: Gary/Green/Blue in Pokemon. He's used at key points. Were you had no time to heal. Or be at a higher level. Causing you to go back one area. Or force a grind delay. Issue: He's the champion, at the end. While mere minutes of you fighting him before, at victory road. So he beat the league. And was setup in the champion room, within that short time? He's a very poor Deu ex Machina.
