I think most users here have their heads wrapped around the..hmm...'Disney Villain' concept, where most are evil for...uh....8| oh there goes that train of thought.
Generally they only scratch the cliche evil surface. But I guess this is mostly because they're newbies, they're probably not even 13 to 15 and don't go watching the Crime channel on TV to give them a sence of true evil beings (When I was that age I certainly wasn't XD).
But then again I don't think FeralHeart and it's audience are the right ones for the "proper" sociopathic, psychopathic, truely twisted, etc "evil" characters.
I also will point out that I think even if someone was to have a proper nasty character, ironically no one would take them seriously either.
I had this happen to me when I had Ren wandering around, some random group found him, started calling him "lesbian" then "Gay", wouldn't leave him alone (I probably should have blocked them) so I thought "what the heck." And I made Ren reply IC. I'll just tell you that he is incredibly homophobic he hates them so much and he would kill any gay on site if given the chance. SO of course when I made Ren argue with them, they went from serious to trolling him and I made him walk away.
I'm never doing that again that's for sure.
(I'm not homophobic. I'm pointing this out because I hate it when people think I am just because Ren is :\ )
AND THEN OF COURSE there are the people who make sociopaths/psychopaths/say "I WILL NEVR FALL IN LUV." and do it all wrong when that character suddenly falls in love and magically turns good. |D that's a pet peeve of mine.
