@ThePlumbob it is a good idea to have the evil trait be the last one, to give them time to have the rug pulled from under them in some way. And still there is room to decide how some event (or lack thereof) will shape some aspect of someone's character. An example that comes to mind is bullying. Being bullied can cause one to develop more empathy towards vulnerable people, but also it can cause the "I suffered, so you must suffer too" mentality, and so many other cases.
@Dollyllama108 you are bringing super interesting points! all of those things, especially, to my understanding, good old cognitive dissonance stand behind many actions or opinions that are commonly perceived as evil. That realisation makes it so the evil trait no longer seems so one dimensional. They don't have to be evil all the time for no apparent reason.
Also, very true. The hero that has been commonly portrayed in media (at least when I was growing up) is someone who sees the flaws of the antagonist and has the drive to put a stop to them - I never saw self-reflection. So many instances where the hero destroys a whole city to "save" it from the antagonist.. whose plan was to destroy it lol.
Unrelated but also not really, I was watching the news earlier and realised I have never played through the politician career :wink:
You guys are helping a lot! I see lots of possibilities now, thank you :)
