This is also why it's terrible to try to play D&D or other role-playing games when one of the characters wants to be "the loner" . The dark and brooding character that's truly the main character even if no one else knows they're really the main character.

Hahahaha you just brought up some memories of when I was DM for my gaming group back in the day. Thanks for the snort-laugh!

Were you ever in a group where at least half the group wanted to be the loner and they would just spend the sessions trying to out-brood each other?

Never near half, thankfully, haha but I did meet a few with cookie cutter character types; trench coats, shades at night, names like "Katana", mysterious dark past and no friends lol. It was the very early 00s, as well, so everything had to be edgy.

The Matrix was still wildly popular then. I wanted a trenchcoat so bad but my grandparents were like, "them columbine shooters wore those things. You're not getting one."

I'm glad I didn't because stoner, skater, punk hair, and an unbuttoned button-up and wife beater tank top combo made me popular... Lol
