Antagonistic and Mean

Value
Common, Strong: 15 Points
Description
A character with this Complication is not just Bad Tempered, he actively seeks out people to antagonize. He enjoys actively pissing people off, is intentionally rude, purposefully Inconsiderate, and enjoys getting into fights and arguments. He picks on people, especially those he perceives of as being unwilling to fight back or those he sees as weaker than himself. He is casually contemptuous of everyone around him, and he doesn't care who he insults.
Do not think that the character is a Bully, however, because a Bully will generally back off of his harassing behavior the moment the victim starts to stand up for himself and fight back. This character, on the other hand, is just waiting for that to happen. He almost hopes and dreams that his victim will fight back, because that gives the character an excuse to kick the living shit out of the victim, once and for all.
This character tends to not have friends. Rather, he'll have weaker hangers-on who pretend to respect the character but are actually afraid of him. They act as his lackeys and have been cowed into basically doing whatever the Antagonistic and Mean character demands. And boy howdy, will he demand a lot.
Naturally enough, this Complication really isn't appropriate for Player Characters.
