* 30.5/9 = 3.4 OR 34.5/9 = 3.8 (maybe even higher if people decide she deserves a higher score for Motivation)
** Despite some admittedly unrepentantly evil moments, even a somewhat unsympathetic interpretation of Azula's character gives a somewhat optimistic number, owing to Azula's age and gender and the series' idealistic mindset in general. If there's ever a post-finale special or even a fourth season, chances range from just above 50/50 to somewhat good that Azula will eventually see the light. Of course, whatever happens won't stop the rampant InternetBackdraft that seems to result when such topics pop up...

Aesthetics: Definitely attractive, 5
Motivation: Pratically screams "Well-Intentioned Extremist!", 4
Characterization: Very honorable and worthy opponent, 4

Idealism: Er... again, hard to say. Everything seems to pretty much work out in the end, though, so I will go with 4.
Average: 32/8 = 4. So, Edgeworth was just itching for redemption all along...

** OK, so at first I thought ATLA subverted the algorithm because Zuko is a boy with a deforming scar and Azula is a cute girl. But even taking that into account, Zuko was the most likely to have an Heel Face Turn.

Let's see if Emperor K'Yyrikakas from The Warrior's Chronicles would have a chance at all of becoming good.
* Species: Krisil aren't exactly close to humanoid... 1.
* Gender: Krisil don't seem to really have them bar the Birthers. Leaving blank.
* Age: He's not an OLD god-king, but he's certainly not a teenager. Let's say 4.
* Role: He's the invader's overlord, pretty much guaranteed 1.
* Aesthetics: Well, considering he's not humanoid in the slightest I'll have to say 1. And he is a little scaly looking...
* Motivation: Well... He truly believes that conquest is good for his people... let's say 3.
* Characterization: He's a king and he's not afraid to be dirty when he has to. Pretty much a 3.
* Contentness: He's not exactly laughing with glee as they mow down the human infidels, but he likes it. 2.
* Morality: There's the true white, the true black, and all the grays in between. 2.
* Idealism: The stories a BIT cynical, but not enough to drag it all the way to a 2. 3.
Average: 2.22 repeating. - That's below average, but far better than a large amount of big bads. All in all, he probably could have been converted if they'd figured out a way to form an alliance with him.

* Role: QuirkyMinibossSquad, 3
* Asthetics: Cute, 5
* Motivation: Because Azula is her friend. 5
* Characterization: Plain nuts. 2
* Contentness: Enjoying every minute. Well, this one shouldn't count, Ty Lee doesn't like doing the evil, she is mostly playing a game. 1
* Morality of the Story: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, especially toward the end of season two. 4
* Idealism of the Story: Very idealistic, again, especially toward the end. 5

* Morality of the Story: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, especially toward the end of season two. 4

Let's see how many chance that [[MortalKombat Reptile]] will had enough being screwed over and actually join the forces of Good.

* Species: LastOfHisKind, in this case Saurian. There's also Khameleon, but it's still pretty few - 5

* Role: The middle ground. Servant of Shang Tsung or any of the Forces of Evil, but no one too high - 3
* Aesthetics: [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent If his name and form are any indications...]] - 1
* Motivation: TheUnfettered, all he cared about is the resurrection of the Saurian race, and boy does he look pitiful. - 3

* Idealism: As of the remake, the series is very cynical - 1.
Average: 2.67 - Slightly below average, but not very low for him, if Raiden actually tries and WANT to prevent Dragon King's return.

For a new GG character to be rated, Testament has all been on the stuffs about HumansAreBastards. As seen in one of his alternate endings in GGXX, he turns against humanity after Dizzy died. So what are the chances that in the future he gets riled up with humanity again and once again out to eradicate them?

* Species: Gear, seems like 'SuperiorSpecies' to me - 2
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: Probably quite into adulthood when he turns Gear - 5
* Role: Ever since he's out of Justice's services, he's more like a Freelancer who chose to protect Dizzy on his own will. - 4
* Aesthetics: Gothic looking, red-eyed creepy {{Bishonen}}... - 5
* Motivation: Love and Loyalty, probably he does 'good' just to protect Dizzy - 2
* Characterization: VERY bitter and mistrusting for humanity, but lately he also becomes a bit of a loner due to Dizzy being with the Jellyfish - 5
* Contentness: Doesn't comment much about it. - 3
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3
* Idealism: Quite idealistic, but not so much - 2
Average: 35/10: 3.5. My God, no wonder most of Testament's alternate endings are about him renewing his war with humanity. His rate is just that kind of above average!

And now, last time in Calamity Trigger, Litchi appears in Tao's Gag Reel as a villain... then she pulls a FaceHeelTurn in Continuum Shift. Who's the villain in Tao's Gag Reel in Continuum Shift?

And just to be fair with the other BlazBlue, let's try to see if somewhere along the line in GuiltyGear, Anji Mito could call it quits with working with That Man.

* Species: Human, Japanese in a setting where Japanese is considered a rare breed / LastOfHisKind - 5
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young Adult - 4
* Role: He's a freelancer, no business with PWAB or the Holy Order so far - 5
* Aesthetics: A WalkingShirtlessScene, and pretty attractive to boot - 5
* Motivation: Anji's motivation is unknown, he sought knowledge and knowledge alone and that alone seems to put him rather low - 2
* Characterization: He's not very lost, he's focused on his thirst for knowledge and is a pretty honorable for a Japanese. More likely to become a NobleDemon - 4
* Contentness: He seems pretty content and seems to think That Man isn't as bad as Baiken thinks, going so far as trying to recruit her - 2
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. Not as extreme as the BlazBlue setting, but GuiltyGear sure doesn't quite know a purely white faction. The Good: Holy Knights, Jellyfish Pirates, Zepp, Sol. The Bad: Assassin's Guild, That Man's group (barring I-No), Gears. The Evil: I-No, PWAB. - 4
* Idealism: Pretty Idealistic, but not very so. Anji being a Heel on basis of being with That Man himself is a proof that it's not overly idealistic - 4
Average: 36/10 = 3.6. Pretty good. Even if That Man isn't as bad as NOL, Anji himself will more likely find something unsettling on him and cause him to call it quits.

Now let us try doing Tsubaki Yayoi, whether she'll see the light or not.

* Species: Human - 3
* Gender: Female - 4
* Age: Teenagers - 5
* Role: TheDarkChick of the team. She's nowhere near TheDragon of Imperator in position compared to Hazama or Relius - 3
* Aesthetics: She's human, she's attractive for a teenager, she's a redhead. Even if it's less fanservicey compared to Makoto, it's still pretty. - 5
* Motivation: Thus far, she's of KnightTemplar territory. - 4
* Characterization: While she is lost and confused, her code as a Yayoi family, plus 'support' and sight from the Imperator makes her less confused and more focused compared to Litchi. - 4
* Contentness: Neutral. It's an order, and she has no time to angst, as much as she want. - 3
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4
* Idealism: CYNICAL - 1
Average: 36/10: 3.6. Slightly lower than Litchi (and still lower if Litchi's contentness can be rated), but she has the advantage of being linked with one of the core characters (Jin), thus it's looking good for Tsubaki.

For fun, let us try calculating who's the bigger bad between Hazama or Relius. Whoever gets the higher score might get a DeathEqualsRedemption (A HeelFaceTurn is already too late for [[CompleteMonster these guys]])

Hazama
* Species: As Terumi he's actually a ghost, looking quite like EldritchAbomination - 1
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Existing since ages long. He's quite old - 1
* Role: He's part of the BigBadDiumvirate - 1
* Aesthetics: EvilIsSexy, fellas! Smooth Criminal, anyone? - 4

* Contentness: He's enjoying every minute of it - 1
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4
* Idealism: CYNICAL - 1
Average: 1.7/10: 1.7

Relius Clover
* Species: Look human enough, but rumors say that he existed long ago and became like Terumi - 1
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: He even looks old, fathering Carl and all. Look at those jaws. - 1
* Role: He's part of the BigBadDiumvirate - 1
* Aesthetics: [[EvilIsSexy Evil Is Rugged]]. That mask ain't foolin' anyone, plus he got the voice of [[JunichiSuwabe someone who makes his characters]] MemeticSexGod - 4
* Motivation: While he looks like a CompleteMonster, and he is one actually, he doesn't have ForTheEvulz for his principles and seems to be looking for some kind of goal in the shadows - 2
* Characterization: Less characterized than Hazama, but he puts up a LawfulEvil facade in front of the Imperator and is pretty much all around cold blooded. - 3
* Contentness: He's content, but doesn't make it a frigging enjoyment like Hazama - 2
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4
* Idealism: CYNICAL - 1
Average: 21/10: 2.1

End result, sorry Hazama, you're doomed even more than Relius. If Relius have some improvement, he might be graced with DeathEqualsRedemption

Due to the events of BlazBlue Continuum Shift, let's see how is the chances of [[MsFanservice Litchi Faye-Ling]] once again turn good and call it quits being with NOL. If she is low, then even Tsubaki is doomed.

* Gender: Female - 4
* Age: She doesn't seem to reach 30 years old, so Young Adult - 4
* Role: She's the SixthRanger or [[SixthColumn Column]] of NOL who was not their starting members, so it's more like Freelancer - 5

* Motivation: Love. Out there to save Arakune and self preservation. Therefore - 5.
* Characterization: VERY LOST AND CONFUSED (as far as the consensus go) - 5
* Contentness: Unknown thus far. She looks more like a PunchClockVillain, but she doesn't have high opinions on NOL, especially after she refused Hazama on the first go, thus making it like she doesn't enjoy being with NOL. But she never shows it. So I'll leave this one out.
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. Unlike what most people say, BlazBlue isn't very much BlackAndGrayMorality, even if the 'Good' is pretty gray. The Good: Anyone opposing NOL, The Bad: NOL, The Evil: Hazama and Relius. Therefore - 4 (if you feel insistent on it being Black And Gray... then it's 1)
* Idealism: Hazama has seems to always outwit the good guys in the way. BB world is VERY cynical. - 1
Average: 36/9: 4. Actually very high chance. But this is BlazBlue we're talking about. With people like Hazama around, he can change the chance.

** 30/9 = 3.3. This is where it breaks down. He could change at any time during the series, but he's very definitely on ''[=DeWitt's=]'' side, and that particular loyalty is not in question. The only question is if ''she'' decides to go against her bosses. Let's see:

OK, ''DoctorWho'' spoilers incoming.
I can't help wondering whether the Doctor himself would have gone through with a FaceHeelTurn if Adelaide Brooke hadn't [[HeroicSacrifice disrupted]] his frankly [[HighOctaneNigtmareFuel terrifying]] flirtation with AGodAmI. So here goes.
* Species: Time Lord, definite SuperiorSpecies - 1
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Very, very old]] - 2
* Role: TheHero, or near enough - 1
* Aesthetics: YMMV on this one. I'd give him a [[StupidSexyFlanders 1]], but there are others who would give him a 3. So, as a compromise, 2.
* Motivation: Worldview - 3
* Characterization: Normally 2, but at this point he's going ''nuts'' - 4
* Contentness: Not happy, and the lack of a companion isn't helping - 4
* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality, I'd say - 4
* Idealism: A general feeling of hopelessness, for the most part - 5
Total score: 30/10 = 3. Could have gone either way. Oh dear. Adelaide, I once again salute you.

And, since I'm having fun with this, let's see if the Master's final act in [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E17E18TheEndOfTime The End Of Time]] would have actually led to a HeelFaceTurn, if y'know, [[StatusQuoIsGod there was any way in hell the writers would even vaguely consider that]].
* Species: Somewhere between HumanAliens and EldritchAbomination, since he CameBackWrong - 2
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: About the same age as [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld the Doctor]] - 1
* Role: TheDragon, albeit unwittingly - 4
* Aesthetics: YMMV again, but I'd give him a 5.
* Motivation: Somewhere between CompleteMonster and [[AxCrazy completely out of his tree]] - 1
* Characterization: An utter nutter ([[RhymesOnADime sorry]]) - 2
* Contentness: He's fine with evil, but ''not'' a happy bunny - 3
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4
* Idealism: Rather cynical, with the exception of Wilfred - 2
Total score: 22/10 = 2.2. Still more likely than normal.

One more: how close to turning Valeyard was the Sixth Doctor after TheReveal of the Valeyard's origins during his [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E4TheUltimateFoe trial]]?
* Species: Time Lord - 1
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Seen a few centuries]] - 2
* Role: TheHero, or near enough - 1
* Aesthetics: Would qualify as "dignified" if he didn't insist on wearing [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes a coat that probably counts as visual torture in some countries]] - 3
* Motivation: Worldview - 3
* Characterization: Would get a 4 if he wasn't so determined to eradicate evil - 2
* Contentness: Genuinely frightened by the Valeyard, and still recovering from the loss of Peri - 4
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, given the Master's presence - 3
* Idealism: Corruption among the Time Lords, a ShadowArchetype and the Master? Baaaad times. The one shining beacon of idealism is the Doctor himself. - 4
Total score: 27/10 = 2.7. I think we're OK.

*'''Characterization:''' *shrug* Once we find out he killed Lilly, he goes pretty flat character... but he had some PetTheDog moments before. He's pretty batshit crazy, so I'll go with 2.

*'''Characterization:''' ...GAH I HATE YOU. He seemed pretty ObviouslyEvil up on the roof (1), but cold blooded (3) might fit better. He's batshit crazy (2), but due to FreudianExcuse, gets considered "lost and confused" a lot (5). Especially just before he jumped. Averages say 2.

Should I even try this for [[{{Avatar}} Jake Sully?]] There is so much YMMV between the two sides of the movie, that this troper has a mindscrew: Was it FaceHeelTurn or HeelFaceTurn? On another note, the movie was panned by viewers for being predictable, did Quartich and us (Tropers) predict this? I'll do this differently, show the numbers for both to show both ([=HeelFace=] #/[=FaceHeel=]#).
* Species: Human: to [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Avatar/Na'vi]]: 4/2
* Gender: Male: 2/4
* Age: Middle Age: 3/3
* Role: Opportunist/Faceless Soldier to TheHero(/TheBigBad?): 1/1
* Aesthetics: Average to Cute and Pretty: 5/1
* Motvation: Unsure to Love and Loyalty: 5/2
* Characterization: Honor: 4/2 to Definitely Confused: 5/1 and back: 4/2
* Contentness: Angst?: 5/5
* Morality: Unsure (Grey and Grey: 3/3?)
* Idealism: Complicated, confused: 3/3
Total Score: Using his character at the climax: Looks like a neutral character, since he only came for the sake of his brother. I guess from WordOfGod, Jake is a HeelFaceTurn hero.
* HeelFaceTurn (Viewer sides with na'vi): ~35/10 = 3.5. Likely neutral to the na'vi fans.
* FaceHeelTurn (Viewer sides with RDA): ~26/10 = 2.6. Likely evil to the RDA fans.
* I had a MindScrew doing this. If anyone wants to edit this, go ahead.

Total score: 28/10 = '''2.9''' A high mark for a ''CompleteMonster''. Being [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe an asari]] helps her there. But her [[ForTheEvulz motivation]] and [[PsychoForHire characterization]] keep her from floating as high as I'd expected.

And now, from [[MassEffect2 the same game]], the odds of Legion going bad.

OK... I've decided the thoroughly evil [[MassEffect2 Morinth]] is optimal for breaking this thing. Let's see what the algorithm says of her odds of deciding to quit [[MindRape mind raping]] and murdering innocents are.
* Species: asari, and ergo pretty: 4
* Gender: Female: 4
* Age: Measured according to asari standards, young adult: 4
* Role: Opportunistic SerialKiller: 2
* Aesthetics: definitely nice to look at: 4
* Motivation: Sex, drugs, amusement: 1
* Characterization: although not a flat character, she clearly enjoys her acts of wanton cruelty: 2
* Contentedness: The woman clearly enjoys her depraved, hedonistic existence: 1
* Morality of the story: Reapers and some criminals are evil, Shepard and a few others are good, plenty of gray room : 4
* Idealism of the story: complicated, depends on Shepard' actions: 3
