Supernatural has Crowley (a very powerful demon), who is pretty much straight-up Neutral Evil (he starts as Lawful Evil with his "I always honour my deals!" attitude but eventually becomes so capricious and keen on detonating underlings and ignoring his duties that that's no longer really the case), but is, in practice, extremely cooperative and helpful, just totally down to do whatever incredibly Evil thing to ensure his goals are met. He often subordinates himself to plans which are more "Good" than he might like simply because he knows that's a way to reach his goal, even if it's messier or harder work than his preferred way, and he couldn't do it alone.It does take some work from the player, to either pick a very cooperative personality, or to spin their Evil a bit so it works well with others, but honestly Good can be like that too. I mean I play a ton of Neutral Good, and if you don't spin it a bit, you risk ending up being a dreadful stick-in-the-mud, because the party isn't always going to go with the most perfectly Good-est thing.</blockquote>
