LOTR
(Anonymous) 2016-07-01 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)His extended cousins murder his entire town
His parents get stuck on the other side of the sea where his dad turns into a star and his mom turns into a bird
He and his twin brother get kidnapped by one of the aforementioned murderous cousins who tries to raise them as his own sons, Stockholm Syndrome may or may not be involved
Lives through a giant apocalyptic war as a child
His entire country/subcontinent falls victim to San Andreas: Middle Earth Edition and is almost totally destroyed
After growing to love his aforementioned murderous cousin as a father, said murderous cousin kills some more people, has a meltdown, and disappears to become a hobo. He never sees him again.
His twin brother chooses to become mortal in order to lead a new hopeful human island nation. Because elves and humans have different afterlives, he will never ever see his twin brother again.
Watches his twin brother’s descendants (ie, his own nieces and nephews) and their initially peaceful and wise empire slowly become corrupt and tyrannical and greedy over the course of centuries.
His brother’s island empire does an Atlantis and sinks, killing almost all his brother’s people and descendants and destroying everything his brother sacrificed his immortality for.
Just wants to be a doctor, but is forced to be a warrior instead because Sauron is a dick
Tries to fight against Sauron when the latter starts genociding the elves of Hollin and destroying the human and dwarf settlements around them, fails, winds up running a refugee camp with the survivors, far from his home and his king.
Spends seven years camped out in Mordor fighting a miserable war
His king/best friend gets burned to death in front of him
His great (insert a hundred greats) nephew dies in front of him
He fails to convince his great (insert a hundred and one greats) nephew to destroy the ring, his nephew dies soon after
His wife leaves him and sails west after he is unable to heal her from an orc attack
His sons become obsessive orc-hunters who are away from home a lot
He helps raise and educate his brother’s descendants generation after generation for 3,000 years, watching them repeatedly grow old and die while he never ages and has to watch their people fuck themselves over in various ways and dwindle away until they’re living as poverty-stricken outcasts
His beloved daughter falls in love with his beloved adoptive son and decides to give up her immortality. Like his twin brother, this means he will never see his daughter again. For that matter, he will never see his adopted son again either.
The destruction of the One Ring means that the ring he has used to preserve Rivendell as a beautiful magical place loses its power too, and his realm begins to fade
He goes west, unable to bear sticking around to watch his daughter and adopted son die after just a few decades, and has to explain to his long-awaited wife that she will never see her daughter again ever.

(Anonymous) 2016-07-02 01:10 am (UTC)(link)tbh I was going to pick a totally different character from a different fandom, but then I thought about immortal characters, and characters with perfect memories, and then about elves, and picked Elrond by dint of how LONG he lived and how evenly-spaced-out all the shit that happened to him was, meaning that even if he didn't suffer as intensely or absolutely as a number of other characters I could name, he did so for millennia on end ever since he was a little kid so his whole life was marred by it.
I guess it depends on a lot of very subjective criteria about what qualifies as worse - the actual awful things that happened, or having to live with the memory of the awful things that happened and of the good things that were lost.
