DISCLAIMER: This is a rant on the character, not the user.

I'm going to have so much fun writing this.

Warning: Beyond this line will be aBSOLUTELY NO MERCY.

Fluffy

Introduction
Fluffy, the first OC in FNAF F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Because of the creator's roleplay skills, he was thought to be a decent character originally. Oh, how we were all very wrong. Fluffy is an awful character, some assume him as the worst (I personally think Dan is the worst). But what makes many think this way?

Personality and Emotion
Fluffy has one of the most unrealistic personalities in the entire roleplay. Expressing depression/sadness in a roleplay can be a beautiful and emotional thing to do, but it can also be exaggerated and ruined. Fluffy failed at expressing it well. Yes, it would leave a bad mark on someone if all their friends left/died. But that doesn't mean they have to whine about it for an eternity. Let's look at the five stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Fluffy did not show actual denial, realistic anger, bargaining, or acceptance. Only depression. Fluffy has his own stages: Depression, self pity, and... that's it. But when he's not being depressed and self pitying, he's interrupting and trying to act like he's the best character. Let's make a scenario: Villains are having a face off with some heroes, preparing to fight them if they must. What would Fluffy do? Flop in front of the heroes crying. What else could happen? Fierce runs in and cries, "Fluffy's in danger!" or something. And his power... ugh. There's no explanation whatsoever for his random overpowered abilities, creating a massive plot hole. One of his worst traits is the fact that he doesn't do anything besides show off his terrible personality. Oh, and he's psychopathic? THAT was VERY unneeded.

Appearance
Personally, I dislike Fluffy's color scheme. I think cold/cool colors would really have worked well on him, or at least more colors in general. His two other (unexplained) forms, which were unneeded, definitely have a dull appearance that almost wafts of the screen into my mouth, giving off a bitter and disgusting taste. He doesn't stand out, either. Perhaps some animatronic accessories would work well on the dragon, and tossing out the two other forms altogether would be perfect.

Character Development
...slay my mind and dust the ash into a molten platter. His 'character development' isn't even development at all. It's literally only him being sad. And for his powers... oh boy. They shouldn't have even existed. If they had an explanation, maybe I wouldn't be so harsh. But they don't. His relationship with Softy was one of the worst keys in Season One. Love at first sight is an interesting way of creating a relationship, but that doesn't need to spark a wave of absolute (swear warning) shit (swear warning over) that spans from the first season's end to RotF. His life is made up of the following ingredients: Self pity, whining, and complaining. I still remember the words he said to Krazy a while back: (Not the exact words) "MY LIFE IS THE WORST OUT OF EVERYONE'S! MY LIFE IS TERRIBLE IN EVERY WAAY!!!!" It's torture to read all this.

Effect on the Plot
NONE. Just... none. He tries to force himself into the plot by jumping in front of anyone and crying for no reason to try to become the center of attention, a move that is despised in the roleplay community. I thought he'd learn from FLH and/or Sara that a roleplay shouldn't just center around certain character(s). It's a disaster whenever he actually is somewhat in the plot.

In conclusion, Fluffy

is

terrible.
