in every sense of the word
I didn't see this anywhere, so hopefully I'm not making a double thread
Show me your characters that would do poorly in a fight, or are horribly weak in some way.
Perhaps they are strong in other ways, in intelligence or have a stellar sense of fashion, or are an excellent silvertongue and can get themselves out of any situation etc. but physically they would not do well in a fight, they'd trip over themselves or turn and run the first chance they get, they might flee from a battle because they are afraid of getting so much as a scratch or simply don't know how to throw a punch.
Maybe instead of physically, they are weak willed and can't control themselves from stealing objects when someone isn't looking or they must hit on every pretty face they meet.
Feel free to list the weaknesses (and if you want to include strengths too) /pros/cons of your character if you want!
Or write/describe a scenario showing the character's weakness
Show me your pathetic characters!

I'd say that Malka is my physically weakest and pathetic character in terms of their strength. Sure he has a powerful enchantment ability, he gets people to do whatever the heck he wants because they fall in love with him!
Without that power, he couldn't hold his own at all. first sign of trouble and he panics if he doesn't get his way, or if his powers don't work the way he wants them to. I doubt he even knows how to cook food or dress himself properly without someone's guidance. He depends too much on other people and on his own magic abilities.

Alright, after reading all your guys' amazing, cowardly and pathetic ocs, I want to witness a battle royale where they all try to fight each other. come'on, it'll be hilarious. I promise.
Ezra comes off as intimidating due to his looks and social stature sometimes, but really, he’s just a sweet little wimp lmao. He’s not anxious like his father Jude, nor is he an emotional wreck like his other father Theo, but he’s a total doormat. He’s physically weak, too.
Don't get me started on Yungze- Even though he's a destined warrior in a prophecy, he's not brave. He's immature and rather childish, and there have been so many times when he's been a target for ghosts and opposing warriors, although he's 15 in human years. (once he got strangled by a ghost in the bathroom- it was not fun for him so he ended up refusing to use his own bathroom for 2 days) He wouldn't really know how to hold a bow without his hands shaking, and he's just generally weak (but he can be strong when he wants to be, however, and in some cases, it's never).
I've got Lo aka. Donohue. He's a D&D character and due to a mixture of his class requiring no Strength and the luck of the dice his STR score is 7. Which is very-very low.
He's a shapeshifter so his main "human disguise" still has plenty of lean muscle, but said muscle is only for show. Lo's real form is thin and twig-like, so he always tries to sneak past doing any physical labor so the discrepancy between his appearance and real physical prowess wouldn't become too evident. He makes up for it with decent dexterity and prowess in magic.
He's also a bit of a weakling when it comes to addictions, mainly his gambling addiction. He can't say no when dice and cards are involved.
I mean I even made memes of the fact that technically he's incapable of causing any damage with his hands (yes it's a rage comic, the 2010 vibes are palpable)
(no it doesn't actually work, there's a rule hidden deep in one of the D&D sourcebooks saying that an attack can't do less than 1 damage, I just didn't let it stop me from making a good joke)
(yes,my sona lmao xD)
Doresuaan has problems being always paranoid(sometimes even crying for nothing, or even for imaginary things that would never happen), plus, even though they're good at fighting, they love Lophory, and would do anything not to upset him, while wanting to prove to him (Lophory) that they were made for each other (obviously not something you can prove xD)
Dore IS also always thinking too much about the things they shouldn't, besides being easily manipulated by Draper, even without the curse effect (CRUX)
They're afraid of their own future, thinking that no one will apologize to they for what they've done (and they doesn't even want to apologize)
Dore believes that even if they wanted to go back to being a good person, no one else would be interested in they, and as I said before, they(Dore's friends and companions) wouldn't apologize...They thinks that even if they changed their path, they would be forced to go back to being evil again.
They also just want to be loved, even though they're a bad person, but...the problem is,they wants to be loved by only ONE person: Lophoryne
They just want Lophory to stay close to they f o r e v e r .
------
(And...Dore also thinks that doing anything can impress Lophory, but actually Lophory just wants to see Dore normal again, being who they always was...)
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhh until he gets access to magic he's a complete pushover . even then he's kinda just a glass cannon. he is a little pathetic but it's endearing
