Ok so I had some ideas to make these 2 characters recently but I'm not sure how to implement them. I'm not even sure if they'd be really homebrew so I figured I'd ask here all the same.
Character No.1 - MAX from the video game, Shining Force Neo (But for the purposes of D&D Max Nova the idiot.)
He's kind of a joke, like not even kidding the game he's from is really ass & is considered one of the worst ones of the series as I'm told by fans. Like take this scene from the game. https://youtu.be/sGPjDEdtyOs?t=36m14s
So here apparently his father has preformed some LEGENDARY ATTACK & everyone's like "OH MY! WHAT'S THAT BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHT?! IS THAT GAIA NOVA?!" "AMAZING THIS IS THE TRUE GAIA NOVA"-etc, but you NEVER, EVER SEE THE MOVE. and they go on for like AGES.
So I wanted to ask.. could you make like a complete moron in D&D? How "low" could you take the stats without making him just like a feeble brain dead corpse?
Cause for this guy I just wanna make a joke character & see what kind of shenanigans I can get up to like having a move that in every level that gets continuously upgraded but NEVER does anything while having just the bare minimum skills, gear & etc.
Character No.2 - Tim Ryder - Loosely based of Dino/Donte from DmC: Devil May Cry.
I was also wondering, is it possible for Human characters to be possessed by, not a demon per se but could they be "infected" with demonic... something... and get demonic powers form like a ritual? Or something that's corrupting them?
I wanted to build a character with amnesia who he's like this living legend but in reality he's not like a half demon hero or something, he's really more complicated & jaded than that.
And for this I wanted to keep it a little more simpler that most of the stuff I've suggested to people in the past. But what could work? I'm thinking like a fighter who has like a shape shifting weapon, think Prototype the video game where its gnarly & more on the creepy-tendril-y side of demonic stuff I guess so it behaves more like a corruption? Maybe like a barbarian style rage move? or some kind of spell that suspends enemies in mid-air?
I'm being more liberal with this one so I'm sure there must be a couple of classes which fit the bill on this guy since he's really not as OP & hyper as like Adl, a character of mine who I had mentioned in the past.
How about a Tiefling Warlock under The Fiend who goes Pact of Blade, which by the way gives you a weapon which can be any weapon you want and can change each time you summon it, who was originally a human, but died and got reincarnated as a Tiefling (The random race changing spell), but can't remember a thing of his previous life. To be honest I had a person run a Tiefling who was originally a human before and that just stuck in my mind while reading the demonic portion.
Well on paper I suppose that would work, I don't know why I'm feeling kinda... eh.. about having him be a Tiefling though... I'm looking at the illustrations & I'm not digging the horns & red skin. Do all Tieflings have to look like that? I was thinking of making him more kinda like this... at the start anyways.
Or for a more Devil May Cry themed connection, Arkham from DMC3 what with the gross pulsing thingy under his skin. & then it turns him into or have the ability to turn into something like this?
Then try to build something yourself, a Tiefling may not be your kind of thing, but maybe you need a human who just has taken a pact with demons, this can just be Tiefling stats with a human appearance or you can try to make it from scratch like I did for a race called the Shankara (ask if you want to see it, it is definitely not what you are looking for though).
I guess so then, I can take the class & race bare bones & just try to make it more like a demonic infection or a forced but incomplete ritual or something..

You can also multiclass once you get high enough into barbarian after getting strong enough in warlock.

Also, any thoughts on MAX? I kinda want to work on him first since I think I'd get a real kick out of him. :P
