History PlayingWith / HeelFaithTurn

* '''Straight''': After accidentally killing his brother Alex, a ChaoticEvil criminal Bob [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone falls into despair]] and eventually becomes a [[GoodShepherd priest]] in [[TheAtoner atonement]].

** A LawfulGood priest Bob must witness helplessly as his brother Alex is killed by some thugs, leaving him disillusioned with {{God}} and leading him [[FaithHeelTurn down the bloody path of revenge]].
** Alternatively, finding religion turns LawfulNeutral Bob into a harsh and unforgiving KnightTemplar.

* '''Zig Zagged''': ChaoticEvil Bob accidentally kills Alex, feels uneasy, and visits a church for the first time. There, he decides that it'd be a great idea to rob the place while he's here but a conversation with an elderly priest opens his eyes to the light of the Lord. He abandons his criminal tendencies and becomes an acolyte there. However, when street thugs desecrate the church, he shoots them all dead in rage, later judging himself unworthy of salvation and leaving it. He is soon found by Vatican's agents, though, who enlist him to kick ass for the Lord as part of a special unit. Still, his experiences in the unit are far from idealism, so he grows disillusioned with God and deserts...only to later to become JustLikeRobinHood complete with a friar sidekick.
* '''Averted''': Nothing changes Bob's ChaoticEvil alignment, even a confession.

* '''Conversed''': "Betcha Bob's alignment is going to go from ChaoticEvil to LawfulGood now." "Why is that?" "He's just been initiated into the Church. That always changes them."

* '''Subverted''': It looks like Bob has reformed but it's actually part of a heist to steal valuables from the church.

** Bob sincerely regrets the evil he has done, but feels that it constitutes such a serious transgression that only a higher power can forgive his crime.

* '''Justified''': Alex was a priest himself and tried to show Bob the right way up until the very end.

** Criminally reformed ministers like him are always sent to {{Wretched Hive}}s in need of a GoodShepherd that can not only empathize with his flock but [[NecessaryEvil also lay the smack down when needed]].

* '''Deconstructed''':
** When some thugs insult God with blasphemy in TheChurch, Bob reaches out for his guns and shows the punks just what kind of BadassPreacher they are dealing with. After that, he judges himself unworthy of salvation and wanders off.
** Or, Bob enthusiastically takes to his role in TheChurch... The problem is that the role is [[ChurchMilitant crusader or inquisitor]]. [[KnightTemplar After finding religion, Bob commits more atrocities in the name of God then he ever did as a criminal]].
* '''Reconstructed''':
** ...but then he is recruited into the [[ChristianityIsCatholic Vatican]] special forces and now, he [[ChurchMilitant kicks ass for the Lord]]!

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob was a CompleteMonster, a rapist and murderer (usually, but not always, in that order) of pregnant women, children, and puppies. Until he found God. He joined the SaintlyChurch as a priest, and devoted his life to serving {{God}}. Now, he's [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure-hearted and kind]], charitable to all who come before him, whether or not they are part of his flock.

* '''Downplayed''': Bob used to be a [[Jerkass]], but then he started going to church and became a pretty nice person.
