Return of Creature by Poll - Poll #8 (antithesis)

[Shade]

Since we've decided to make this fellow an anti- or broken inevitable, here are a few possible concepts. Vote for 1 or pitch a different concept.

Broken inevitable: The creature was once an inevitable, but its "circuitry" went haywire, and now it continues to punish transgressions, but may interpret them in radically different ways.

Anti-inevitable: The creature was created to counter the actions of the inevitables, perhaps by powerful beings that were themselves or had their associates wrongly accused of crimes and suffered at the hands of the inevitables.

Rogue inevitable: The creature was/still is an inevitable, but chooses to operate outside their tenets, even threatening the lives of innocents, to achieve what it considers its goals.

Anti-inevitable. After all, balance is one of the precepts of the universe...

Demiurge out.

OK, here is where I really start to show my insanity, but I vote other: All of the above.

I vote that some malevolent force, out of wrathful revenge, decided to take an existing high level Ineviteable and twist it using higher-level arcane magics/psionics/raw energy manipulation, so that it would end up being an Anti-Ineviteable. But either because the malevolent force was working with higher powers that it did not fully understand (e.g. the ineviteable's new logic was so skewed that it thought by doing some haywire thing it was carrying out the "new orders", or the ritual itself was more complex than the malevolent force realized, or both, or other), or because of unexpected interference in the process at a critical moment (go and watch 'The Fly'), the Ineviteable got turned into some hybrid between Anti-Ineviteable (in nature, to itself) and Broken Ineviteable (in demeanor). I think part of what would tie in the two, if not the main part, would be that at the critical moment of the ritual, the Ineviteable had just decided to become a Rogue Ineviteable, thus royally screwing the whole thing up with wildly-varying results.

i don't see whereas "all of the above" is a crazy choice at all: somewhere along the line, an inevitable became broken somehow, went rogue, and eventually came to oppose everything the other inevitables stand for.

I haven't voted yet because I'm not quite sure, but here's a wacky idea:

What if we say "broken inevitable" and mean it quite literally.. I mean we are talking about a Diminutive construct.. what if it is like.. just the head of an inevitble? Perhaps when it snapped in body.. it snapped in mind as well and that is what caused its malfunction?

Crazy eh?

OK, it looks like anti-inevitable is the winner. That's not to say we can't incorporate some of the other ideas suggested, though.
