[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 8557222, member: 7024893"] I allow evil characters. But I generally discourage it for new or inexperienced players. There's also certain type of tables were I won't really allow it. But if I know that I have mature players that already have a few roleplay experiences under their belt, I allow it. The thing with evil characters is that people immediately think of the supreme evil type of characters. Characters that torture, hurt and deceive other just for the sake of doing it. That's certainly one definition of evil. But evil is very much a matter of perspective, and from my point of view, I always viewed evil as something that's utilitarian. A well-rounded evil character does not mind doing immoral things to achieve his goals. It doesn't mean he'll be mean to everyone, or spit on people, or disrespect them. But when an opportunity that many would not seize presents itself, evil character seize it. The character might even feel bad about it afterwards, they don't enjoy doing it. Or maybe they do, or maybe they don't care. There's many type of evil characters, and the most played one out there is the least interesting one. It's the type of evil that's also boring for villains; being evil for the sake of being evil. [/QUOTE]
