22:8 = 2.75 We can't blame Gandalf for his surprise though Saruman's lack of a clear motivation should have given him to think.

22:8=2,75 We can't blame Gandalf for his surprise though Saruman's lack of a clear motivation should have given him to think.

Result: 29/10 = 2.9 Breakdown going through a HeelFaceTurn seems possible, but only time will tell if he'll do it.

Average: 2. [[spoiler:I did not see that coming...]]

I can't believe no-one has [[AWorldwidePunomenon checked out]] Spike from [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]:
* Species: vampire, 2
* Gender: male, 2
* Age: way older than any living human, so 1
* Role: leader, back when [[TheAtoner the atoning]] began. 1
* Aesthetics: well, [[EvilIsSexy evil is sexy]], after all. 4
* Motivation for doing evil: partly [[ForTheEvulz For The Evulz]], because as a soulless vampire he ''really'' can't help it (did I say "really"? I meant [[MoralityPet "kind of"]]). But also because he is unscrupolous and has precise goals, so I gave him a 1.5
* Characterization: as the story proceeds, Spike gets his own [[RoundedCharacter characterization in the round]], so it's a 5.
* Contentness: being [[EvilFeelsGood evil is wonderful]] and being badass is even better, especially with a [[BadassLongcoat fitting coat]]. Except that removed traumas and low social appreciation are heavy burdens to carry. Lots of denial about it do not help. Being unable to do what you exist for doing also doesn't help. Life sucks. Angst ensues. That's a straight 5.
* Morality of the story: at the end of the day, black and white. 2
* Idealism: oh, [[ThePowerOfLove that warm energy pervading your heart]]! And the power of a nice ''take that'' to society, when in the end you prove to be better than all those [[SarcasmMode nice people]] that spitted on you! And the disarming force of heart-felt redemption! 5!
Result: 5,5 out of 10. This only proves we really were not supposed to know where to bang our heads from the tension all along. [[JossWhedon Someone]] likes to play with our poor minds.

Breakdown from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has several PetTheDog moments so odds are that he'll eventually become an Autobot:
* Species: Cybertronian/Alien-robot, 2

Average: 27/10 = 2.7 Hmmmmm, this score is just slightly to the evil side of having an even chance of either staying the villain or attempting to redeem himself.

Total score: 29/10 = '''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.

Charmcaster ([[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}]] and it's sequels):

Charmcaster ([[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} and WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce):

* 22.5/9 = 2.5. So there's not quite a 50/50 chance that he will.

38:9=4.2 He's coming back, believe it.

*** Update: [[spoiler: It happened.]]

* Gender: male, 4
* Age: teenager, 4
* Role: I’d call him a freelancer, so 4
* Asthetics: attractive, 1
* Motivation: it seemed to be just because it was the right thing to do, so 1
* Characterization: he seemed to come off as an AntiHero at first, so 2
* Contentness: he seemed to be doing all right. 2
* Morality of the Story: black and white at the time. 2
* Idealism of the Story: Very much so. 1

** Species: irrelevant
** Gender: male, 2
** Age: teenager, 5
** Role: I’d call him a freelancer, so 5
** Asthetics: attractive, 5

** Contentedness: Hard to say. I’ll go with a 3
** Morality of the Story: The Good The Bad And The Evil, especially toward the end of season two. 4

** More than Azula, except in the most favorable interpretation for the princess.
*** Unless of course, you decide not to count her score for contentness, leaving 33/8 = 4.1

** So she is the most likely of the angels to become good. [[spoiler:So if you were surprised when the bored Mai acted on her own for the first time to save Zuko, you shouldn't have been.]]

ca 2,94. Cuteness and Allen might yet save her but the MoralEventHorizon is looming not far away.

Breakdown from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has several PetTheDog moments so I'm willing to bet that he'll eventually become an Autobot:

Result: 29/10 = 2.9 It looks like it's possible.

* Aesthetics: [[TheBeautifulPeople Attractive]] - 5

The chance of [[StargateUniverse Eli Wallace]] turning heel:

Just so we can have a baseline measurement to compare with: I present the chances of ''{{God}}'' turning [[GodIsEvil bad.]]

* Species: Pretty-much a guaranteed SuperiorSpecies right there. 1.
* Gender: The only time TheBible shows him to have a physical body, it's that of a man. 4.
* Age: OlderAndWiser than ''every other being in creation''. 2.
* Role: Difficult, but I suppose in TheBible he's TheHero. 1.
* Aesthetics: Otherworldly, probably. Granted, as Jesus he looked human, but his true form is implied to be brain-breaking. 5.
* Motivation for doing good: [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Hard to tell.]] Seems to be TheFettered though, what with the refusal to ever sin, so we'll go with 3.
* Characterisation: ''literally'' TheMessiah. 1.
* Contentness: I'm gonna say Life Is Hard. He seems to swing between calmly reassuring his followers and harshly chewing them out when they turn CorruptChurch. 4.
* Morality of the story: TheBible is pretty GreyAndGreyMorality, even though God himself is Whiter-than-White. Go with 4.
* Cynicism of the story: Middle-of-the-road. The good guys are flat-out told they will be persecuted, but most of them are strong enough to put up with it, and they get a reward in the end. 3.

Total Score: 28/10 = 2.8
A little worryingly high for an omnipotent being, you'd think... Hopefully the whole omni-benevolence thing makes it redundant anyway...

And, in the interests of balance, the chances of {{Satan}} going [[SatanIsGood good]].

* Species: Demon. 1.
* Gender: ...bit of a stretch to say either way, but since all angels are referred to by male pronouns we'll assume male. 2.
* Age: Older. Than ''time''. 1.
* Role: TheBigBad (actually, more like the BiggerBad, but that's not an option). 1.
* Aesthetics: Appears variously as a snake (Genesis) or a dragon (Revelation), so we'll say reptile-themed. 1.
* Motivation for doing evil: Undisclosed. If we accept WordOfDante it's anger and hubris, so 3.
* Characterisation: ObviouslyEvil, considering he never does ''anything'' nice in the ''entire'' book. 1.
* Contentness: '''He literally lives in Hell itself.''' 5.
* Morality of the story: 3
* Idealism of the story: 3

Final score: 21/10 = 2.1
Doesn't look hopeful, Lucifer-fans. Although it is a little worrying that [[DevilButNoGod Satan is apparently less likely to turn Face than God is to turn Heel]].

Charmcaster ([[BenTen Ben 10]] and Ben10AlienForce):

** So she is the most likely of the angels to become good. [[spoiler:So if you were surprised when the bored Mai acted on his own for the first time to save Zuko, you shouldn't have been.]]

* 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.

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.

* Motivation: somewhere between 3 and 4. Her Empire in general is a bunch of [[SocialDarwinist social darwinists]], but she genuinely seems to believe conquering Earth will make things better for both Humans and Viltrumites, hence making her a bit of a WellIntentionedExtremist too.
* Characterization: again, between 3 and 4. She is LawfulEvil, but she also seems to be somewhat more honourable than other evil Viltrumites we meet.
* Contentness: hard to estimate based on what we've seen of her. Let's say 3.

* Idealism: More idealist than cynical, 4.

||'''Role'''|| TheHero || Faceless soldier || LikeFamily || Freelancer || Second-in-command such as TheLancer ||

* Role: LikeFamily. 3

22.5/9 = 2.5. So there's not quite a 50/50 chance that he will.
