Ok, so, questions! What would your character consider their best/happiest memory? What would be their worst? Would their opinions of events be different from what you, as a player, would consider the happiest/saddest moments in their canon? What about in game?

how sad is it that i can think of the worst easier than the best

vic's best memory could be when dinah finally convinced him that jackie wanted him to take care of her, the idea that maybe he could raise a kid. except that it didn't really work out that way.
maybe that year in canada, some nebulous moment when he finally felt like he was getting what richard was trying to teach him.

there are a lot of contenders for worst memories! jackie dying, walking out on helena, and he still has nightmares about being locked in the box when he was little.

in game his best memory was realizing he could suddenly breathe again. his worst was probably meeting a helena only to realize she's someone else entirely.

hank has more happy moments under his belt to refer to
helping to discover a cure for the legacy virus probably among the highest, though it's also weighed under the costs that cure came at, particularly moira's and piotr's deaths.

his worst are almost all associated with dark beast. i mean the guy has locked him away with only a little water for weeks, dragged his ethics through the mud in an attempt to understand what caused the mutant decimation, and put him through intense enough torture to inspire him to quit the x-men. being through all that and still having to see the same face in the mirror every day is just no good.

in-game he's mostly had good memories though. best among them being finding a school already established, eventually being named headmaster of that school, his first kiss with amanda. the worst was probably back in january when he kind of had a nervous breakdown? scott became co-headmaster of the school again, reality was coming apart at the seams, his own shadow was starting to haunt him. he ended up having to get out of the country for a few weeks just to settle.

alex is too much of a cynic to consider many of his recent memories positive. even the ones that were pleasant have later carried a negative sheen, but that was mostly his own fault for being a manipulative jerk. maybe some when he was younger. canon gives us a lot of shots of alex being happy as a little tyke. welcoming the gibborim to hell might at least be his most satisfying memory.

his worst? nico turning him down for being a jerk. also spending a year alone in hell.

his happiest in-game memories usually result from being drunk? there's a handwaved event that jill and i never got around to logging where he and allison just chilled on the roof of the mac with a bottle of wine after she graduated. he had a pretty decent time drunkenly hanging out with reilly during the beach party, as well. his worst was probably getting caught at the end of kidweek, and having to tip-toe afterwards since he knew rose could be watching at any time. it was easier after he realized she didn't really care, though.

he's got much worse ahead of him. at least he was able to keep the information contained that time.

kanaya's happiest memories are all of her mother. she had the best fucking lusus you guys. one mentioned in canon was on twelfth perigee's eve, they had a quiet night in while kanaya read stories to her grubmom. probably stories about vampires in love.

there are many contenders for worst memory, but all of them pale in the face of the matriorb being destroyed. with that died all of kanaya's hopes and ambitions, her final connection to her mother, her very purpose. after that she almost didn't mind dying.

in-game she has a few fond memories. prom was a lot of fun, and everything involving the magazine, as well as working with jade to help evacuate the endangered residents of the aleutian islands and getting to be a hero without anyone getting hurt. worst memory might be having dave tell everyone about her crush on rose, though it was no walk in the park when gamzee ripped her arm off, either.
