    Your character's pet peeve(s)

    Ok, this is simple (kinda) Does your character have a pet peeve and if so, what? Disads can be used, but try to be specific (see my example on Black Tiger) It can be villian peeves or general peeves. That said:

    Volt Villians who hurt/kill children are a pet peeve - actually more than that; he gets furious. Outside of villian stuff he hates it when when people say "warsh" or "wursh" instead of "wash." (Things like Warshington DC also fall into this category.) Also - "It's 'library' Library, not 'lieberry'! What is that, some kind of berry? Sheesh, it's like you take the 'r' out of the library and put it into wash!" He's a calm person, but this gets him riled. On a calmer note, he also hates it when Christians say something incredably idiotic. "Things like that tend to cause some people to think in order to be a Christian you have to have your brain removed."

    Olorin Tends to hate undead, especially the mindless ones. If they are intellegent and not evil, he can deal with them. He hates necromancers since "I have never since one that is not evil and quite destructive." On a non-villian note he hates people that are willfully ignortant "My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the facts!" He also really gets ticked when people set themselves as authorities when they are just plain wrong.

    Black Tiger Has a disad "distrusts authorities" He also especially hates the ones that go "I'm the highest ranking authority here! Therefore I'm in charge!"; the kind that is full of themselves and don't care if you are the expert and they have no clue. You have to prove yourself to him by treating him and your subordinates with respect and prove you know what you are doing; or are at least willing to learn from the experts.

    Futurian - the man from the future. Having to do everything with "stone knives and bearskins". And yes, he uses that line a lot. He also dislikes people asking him about the future, and can get quite sarcastic about it or start using tenses in a confusing way to confuse the issue.
    "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson

    If you can laugh at yourself, you will never cease to be amused.

    I am not normal. Normal is boring.

    Zl'f: Her pet peeve is not being taken seriously because she's small (4' 9"), young-looking (She looks about 14 even though she's 25), or female.

    GloryFox - Socialists, and global warming based super hero's (however since I also find both of these annoying its hard to tell if I'm playing me or playing my favorite character. Perhaps a little bit of both.)

    Spirit of Freedom - People who eat cake over pie and give presents then take them back. (Indian Givers since SoF is an Inuit) People who defile the land with garbage, toxic waste or who kill innocent animals for sport and not for food, clothing or shelter. Oil companies who steal land through legislation rather than negotiating in good faith with the people who occupy the land they want. People who call him an Indian instead of First Nations Citizen or Inuit.

    The Grasshopper - martial Arts Super HERO's who can't hit the broad side of a barn, have no other super powers to compliment their martial arts and are basically useless. Martial Arts super villains who can't hit the broad side of a barn.

    It was a running joke in my character's team to tease my skilled normal archer type character the Marksman about how he kept in shape (that he used a Bowflex, etc...)

    Apollyon: Reacting purely on emotion. This can be himself or anyone else.
    Anyone with a pitchfork and/or torch, this normally accompanies cries of Demon or Hell Spawn. Also see judging by appearance.
    People acting without a grasp of what they may be doing. For Apollyon and his circle of heroing this mostly revolves around cultists and the religious right.

    Tamlyn - Mortals and their silly assumptions.

    Lauren - Anyone treating her with condescion. And men who can't be controlled through bribery or sweet words. (she's getting over that last one, slowly, but surely. )

    The Cat Without a Name: People who think they can name him. People who don't pay attention to him when he wants it. People who pay attention to him when he doesn't want it. His "servants" when he wants to communicate something crucial ("We're out of Tuna!"; "I want out!"; I want in!"; "Professor Vivisector just snuck into out airducts!", and so on) who ignore him. Keyboards with less-than-catspaw-sized keys. Ouija boards on a shelf or in a box so he can't reach it. Mice who think they're "all that". Anyone from "The Lab."

    Bob Tiger: The way his Brother-in-law constantly oscillates between thinking BT is "EVIL!!" and thinking he's BT's best buddy. "Dude! You unleashed the Wild Hunt on me! We are so NOT going fishing together."

    Thunder Rabbit: Villains (and even common criminals) who pull a caper where he can see (or hear) it while he's on a date. People who offer him a carrot. People who think he's cute (unless he thinks they're kinda cute, too).

    Badger- any type of media. Leave him ALONE!!!

    Frosty Bob- hmm, have to think on that. He is so shallow most annoyance just seem to bounce off him. An interruption when he is making a move on a hot chick I suppose. (Note: an interruption other than the Angry Female Strike, of course. )

    oh and for both boy scout type supers get under their skin (They believe those types are unwilling to do what it takes to succeed in their goals.)

    Arachne will agree with that one. Add to that, "Editorials written by the Publisher Emeritus of the Daily Bugle." Also, supervillains with stupid names and stupider costumes (like the ones that dress up like circus animals! I mean, "Rhino"? "The Vulture"? Come on!).

    Stereo- Being looked down on. Anyone named 'Shaw'
    [shaw]Charming. [/shaw]

    Shaw's big pet peeve would be people who don't do as he says... and worse, people who are like, "You're not the boss of me!" Philistines and heathens, all of them. Obviously they need someone of intelligence and breeding to keep an eye on them.
