[quote=Jorick]That'd probably be the pedophile I made for a Game of Thrones RP. He was an old man, a lord of some house (there were a couple versions of him in different games, different houses) and had been molested by his own father repeatedly, then went on to continue the fucked up cycle. His one sort of redeeming point was that he never ever touched his own kids because he didn't want to make them like him. Dude hired depraved thugs to be his child snatchers, and they'd kill the kids and dispose of them when he was done with them. I made a rough calculations of how many children (mostly boys) he got his hands on, and I believe it was something like 80. So far as anyone but his thugs knew, he was just a super nice old grandfatherly type guy who everyone loved and thought the world of, which made his dark secret that much more disturbing.

The most I ever wrote about him past a character sheet was an introductory scene, where he was waiting in his creepy dungeon and had a kid brought to him. The only actual shown contact was him putting a hand on the boy's shoulder, but with all the implications and the thoughts running through his head... Quite a few people were very disgruntled with me for making that character. [/quote]

That reminds me of Gilles de Rais. Sounds like a horrible but interesting character, I'm pretty sure people were uncomfortable with that guy. 

As for mine, I'll have to give it some thought. I've never created a really evil person outside some throwaway bad guys. At the worst, my main characters were morally ambigious and did things in modern eyes would be considered pretty bad but in historical context it was pretty much normal.
