Interesting thread haha ^^

I feel like maybe my characters haven't been as 'evil' as some of the psychopaths on here, cos there's usually some mitigating reason for their behaviour... I guess I like to 'get into the bad guy's psyche' like that. There have been a couple deplorable incidents though:

- I have a recurring character, Lera, who appears in modern-day plots about ESP/psychokinetic wars. As a lackey in her organisation who goes out to do the dirty work, she regularly breaks people's limbs to cause them enough pain to stop them from using their powers, including those of children. This is a universe where talented ESP'ers can stop bullets but always [i]only just[/i], so she's very trigger-happy as well. Again, especially with children. Her main redeemer is that the violence is mostly a product of brainwashing.

- Weird one with a main character who was supposed to be one of the 'good guys': I always like to play a bit of moral ambiguity into my main characters, so this one started showing himself as increasingly sociopathic towards the end of the plot. Modern-day fantasy again; in a twist of heroism, the character has one of the nominal 'bad guys' cornered in a winning fight. Maybe you think he's going to take the enemy into captivity or else the enemy makes a stupid disney-esque attempt to attack the main character and gets shot in self-defence... nope. Main character simply holds an affable conversation as he shoots his victim in a variety of non-lethal places, basically torturing her to death. 

- Last one is a supporting character I've played a couple of times, who is supposed to be a kind of leery pansexual pervert. (NOTHING wrong with pansexuality in my personal opinion, btw, it's just a coincidence). Anyway his line is that he always hits on/harasses at least *one* of his inferiors during any rp, although I guess the worst offences would be the paedophilic ones with kids and young teens, and then the beating them when they're not obedient. =/ Ripped off one kid's fingernail.
