Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit

I've seen definitions 10,000 "characters" long, but for some reason we're restricted to only 1500 now. Which sucks.

The Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit is the worst thing to happen to this site in a long time... some definitions are meant to be long, people!

Sophia Character Sketch Paradox

In an academic situation: When a friend points out a suggestion for your writing, but being the arrogant person you are, refuse to accept their suggestion, resulting in deducted marks. Afterwards, they will proceed to get mad for the suggestion they were oblivious to and continually vent about it.

Friend 1: Hey, how did you do on the English essay?
Sophia: I lost two marks for not using the word reserved instead of cautious!
Friend 1: But we told you to use that and you didn't listen!
Friend 2: Well, that's the Sophia Character Sketch Paradox in action!

charas

Hand-rolled solid hashish from the Himalayan foothills, esp. Charas in India. Very dark, almost black in colour with a high THC content and distinctive taste and aroma, it is a far superior smoke to the more popular hybrid Skunk varieties. Expensive and hard to come by compared to said skunk.
Known as 'the breath of Buddha'.

'Charas, my friend. Trust me, you'll never go back..'

Out Of Character

When a character with an already well defined personality acts in a way that they normally would not. They do or say something that they as a character would not normally say, given the personality the writer has already assigned them. This happens very often when your show/book/story has a self-insert or Mary Sue

“This orc barbarian who has killed 13 dragons just got scared of a bee! Man that seems out of character!”

flat character

Usually a minor character but sometimes main characters inadvertently fall into this category, are characters that do not undergo any drastic changes mentally and emotionally throughout the course of a book, series, movie, television show, etc. They usually have only a few known traits that they are known for usually consisting of stock character qualities. Compared to a round character whose much more complex and flawed, like a real person.
See character development.

Laura was a flat character; she was only there to help move the story along as she was only known as vivacious and a good cook, nothing about her personality changes by the end of the book.

Bella Swan is a flat character, she undergoes no growth throughout the course of Twilight. She never learns a lesson from her mistakes because her actions never result in any consequences.
