[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4604041, member: 22779"] Speaking of inspirations for evil groups, look at Joss Wheedon. Firefly is a great example of evil characters working together. Mal kicks an unarmed prisoner into the intake of a jet engine to prove point. Has every intention of blowing Jayne out the airlock for betraying him. In the Serenity movie, takes a mentally challenged child, over the wishes of her guardian, into a highly dangerous situation simply to increase the chances of his own survival. Mal works pretty well as an evil character. The fact that he is also a smuggler, completely mercenary, and has no real problems breaking the law anytime he wants pretty much cements it for me. Then, you have Jayne. NE to the core. Completely self absorbed. So long as he has money, women and food, he's happy and will do anything he can to get any of the above. My favourite quote goes something like this: Mal: Why didn't you betray us? Jayne: The money wasn't good enough. Mal: So, what happens when the money is good enough. Jayne: Well, that'll be an interesting day won't it? While Jayne does betray the group at one point, he realizes it's a mistake and his loyalty to those who have helped him overcome his natural tendencies to go for the money. But, otherwise, yup, NE. Not in the "I eat puppies and wear baby seal fur coats made from baby seals I have personally clubbed to death" way. But in a totally self absorbed, selfish way. [/QUOTE]
