Line 88:
== Live-Action TV ==
* Um, Buffy from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', anyone? Her life sucks beyond all reasonable measure, she goes through multiple [[Heroic BSOD]], outright depression at points, yet she always manages to keep fighting.
** [[Angel]] as well. He constantly fights against his vampiric side, can never be perfectly happy for fear of losing his soul, and must deal with over a century of the most vile sins conceivable he committed while soulless.
* Doctor K and Dillon from ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''. [[The Woobie]] [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]] and the amnesiac [[Phlebotinum Rebel]], respectively.
Line 95:
** Doctor number Ten, especially. "Born from war" is an apt description, and the guy sometimes comes across as just one big moving mass of pain. Hell, he can make grown men and women burst into tears just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz_1HQY32LA by talking about his home planet].
{{quote|'''Doctor:''' [[Last Words|I don't want to go.]]}}
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'': Sam and Dean Winchester
* Quite a few of the crew of the not-so-good ship ''[[Serenity]]'' have been put through one form of hell or another in their lives. [[The Captain|Malcolm Reynolds]] suffers under the weight of the [[The Chains of Commanding|chains of command]] and still bears quite a bit of pain from the end of the Unification War, and both Simon and River Tam have gone through horrifically traumatic experiences; Simon giving up everything he had to save his sister, and River having suffered three years of [[Mind Rape|mind-shattering]] [[Playing with Syringes|experimentation]] that left her insane and with uncontrolled [[Psychic Powers]].
* Olivia from [[Fringe]] has had her life described by another character as "something of a nightmare." {{spoiler|And that's before she gets trapped in a parallel universe, tortured by light deprivation, brainwashed into thinking she's another Olivia, narrowly escapes having her brain cut out, and finally manages to get herself back home... only to find out that the other Olivia has been living her life and even dating Peter, the man she loves.}} Her life sucks.
