Wouldn't they look cooler as a peg leg? I think so.
Those prescient dreams they have been having were pretty cool until that nightmare last night.
Isn't everyone more interesting with a criminal record?
Take your character back to a place where things used to be simpler, better. A world of childhood naivete and joy that stirs nostalgia and reminds them of how bad everything sucks now.
Your character gets defensive, edgy, paranoid. Maybe for good reason.
What's the worst pain you've ever experienced? See if you can work that in.
What's the funniest prank your "friends" ever pulled on you? Steal that idea, and make your character the target.
Whatever your character is unwilling to do, they might be willing to do with a two six-packs and a fourth of gin.
That secret video tape your character made with their lover is totally hot. You know because random dude on the internet just told you so.
Its all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
Diarrhea. Now.
Wish granted! Suddenly your character gets the thing they coveted most, and now they feel empty unfulfilled.
Enter carnivorous plant(s).
You know what's funny? Really bad advice. Have someone give it.
Melancholy. I'm not talking about sadness. I'm talking about the kind of depression that makes your character unable to do what they're best at: walking, eating, sleeping.
Cocktail+Roofie=unexpected. Particularly, see if you can make it interesting and avoid the cliches of sex and dancing on tabletops.
Power outtage. A long one. That leaves them stuck somewhere with someone that will cause a confrontation or altercation.
Your character sees a random person struck by lightning. How does this screw with their head?
Incorporate a nursery rhyme as a metaphor that describes your conflict. Trust me, they're all much darker and and more terrible than you remember.
Did you know that your character has a phobia of open spaces? Well, they do.
Mother earth does not carry about your character's petty problems. She will throw down a hurricane, flood, famine, or pestilence at a whim. What can mother nature do to make the current situation more annoying?
