* Idealism: DS9 is a bit grittier than standard ''Star Trek'', but still pretty idealistic. 4

%%% Please keep this one at the very bottom of the page %%%

Now, for a somewhat controversial use of the scale. It is time to settle a question that is furiously debated on practically every online forum that doesn’t have a BanOnPolitics. Who was more evil, Hitler or Stalin?

For UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler:

* Species: Everyone in RealLife is human, so this doesn’t apply.

* Age: He came to power when he was in his forties, and started UsefulNotes/WorldWarII when he turned fifty. 3
* Role: The ''one'' BigBad, not only of the war but arguably the entire century. 1
* Aesthetics: He was pretty ugly. 3
* Motivation: Though he was no doubt a monster, he did not do it just ForTheEvulz. He wanted power, but that was derived from his social Darwinism and belief that “inferior races” must be eliminated. I will combine both for 2.5
* Characterization: Did he ever talk about anything other than killing those who weren’t part of his MasterRace? 1
* Contentness: The war did not affect him personally until the very end when he knew he had lost. When his power was at his peak, he was enjoying every minute of it. 1
* Morality of the story: RealLife, by definition, [[MoralityKitchenSink has people of every moral persuasion]]. 4
* Idealism of the story: Nobody can agree on how cynical RealLife is, so this will not be counted.
* Average: 17.5/8 = 2.1875. The most disturbing thing about this is that he even scored higher than a 2.0.

Now on to Stalin:

* Species: Same as above, N/A

Literature/TheLordOfTheRings: Just to see if Gandalf with his wisdom should have predicted Saruman’s FaceHeelTurn:

Judging how most if the fanbase of ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' says that Yuji Sakai went all evil after merging with the Snake of the Festival, let's see if they’re right:

Azula from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Can a hug and a glass of milk from Mommy really redeem this broken-down villain, or is she evil now and forever?

''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': What will become of Sasuke? Most expect him to be brought back by Naruto, yet many yearn to see him die as a villain deserves.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 4.

How about fan-favorites Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and Ulquiorra Cifer from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''? Assuming Grimmjow’s LongBusTrip ends and Ulquiorra comes BackFromTheDead, that is.

Now, Topher from ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}''. A tough one. Joss Whedon loves to play with morality on the series. Topher has been stated, in-show, to ''have'' no morals, yet given the events of “Belonging” it’s clear something’s going to give.

* Morality of the story: BlackAndGreyMorality, shading into GreyAndGrayMorality at times. It’s a Whedon show; it might change at any time. Right now we’re at 3.

* Morality: Shades of gray, what with Kevin and all. 3.

* Total: 36.5/10 = 3.65. There’s a decent chance she may turn once more of her character background is revealed (which, according to WordOfGod, will happen in ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien''.) She’s definitely not as evil as Kevin was, and he turned face (of course, a lot of the reasoning behind his turn [[NotAsYouKnowThem ignores his previous characterization altogether.]])

* Total: Griffith at the start of the Hawks arc: 39/10 = 3.9, while Griffith near the end: 42/10 = 4.2. In either case, Guts and company ''definitely'' should have seen that big FaceHeelTurn from Griffith coming.

24.25/9 = 2.6944444444. Unlikely. (And he’s also dead, so I’m not sure these had that much of a point...)

* Age: Older (1)
* Role: Some consider him a BigBad, others would say he’s an Opportunist, so either a (1) or a (2)
* Aesthetics: Either genuinely ugly or just feeling the effects of age (3)
* Motivation: KnightTemplar (4)
* Characterization: LawfulEvil ''and'' EvenEvilHasStandards, so either a (3) or (4).
* Contentness: [[AllThereInTheManual The strategy guide]] said he was generally unhappy, so we'll say “life is hard” (4)
* Morality of the story: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil (4)
* Idealism of the story: Kind of split between Idealistic and Cynical, so (3)

** ''28/10'' or ''30/10''= Between 2.8 and 3. Probably not going to happen, at least not without a significant FreudianExcuse.

Time to look at how [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Cosmo Entelachia]] fares on this front:

* Species: Human enough (3)
* Gender: Male (2)
* Age: Tough call. He started out as a CreepyChild (2), but then he starts looking older, closer to teenage (5), hmm. Let’s go 3.5
* Role: Seemed to be the BigBad for a while, but it’s pretty clear he’s always been TheDragon (4)
* Aesthetics: The GlamourFailure with his body might cause him problems (2), but, depending on your mileage he either doesn’t have any outstanding features, possesses unnatural looks (4) or is conventionally attractive (5). Eh, let’s say 3.5 again.
* Motivation: WellIntentionedExtremist, probably (4)
* Characterisation: Shows many cold-blooded signs early (3), but seems to be showing some traits leaning towards him [[EvenEvilHasStandards having standards]] (4).
* Contentness: His resolve does appear to have been shaken (4)
* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality (3). Except it’s also got TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil (4). And there are almost no truly evil characters (barring Tsukiyomi and possibly some others), so RousseauWasRight (5). Well, that averages to (4)
* Sliding Scale: Idealistic in the end (5)
* Total: 36/10 or 37/10 = 3.6 or 3.7. Quite likely, really. [[spoiler: The fact that Negi wants to make like Nanoha only improves his chances.]]

* Species: Pretty (4)
* Gender: Female (4)
* Age: Teenage (5)
* Role: Quirky Miniboss Squad fits the most right now (3)
* Aesthetics: Definately cute (5)
* Motivation: They pretty clearly believe in whatever Fate is currently doing (5)
* Characterisation: They haven’t had much, but they’re not evil nor crazy. It’s hard to say they’re {{Rounded Character}}s but they are pretty lost and confused, even if they try to act like {{Noble Demon}}s (4.5)
* Contentness: Life is ''very'' hard. Maybe not angst-festival hard, but it's pretty bad for them even if they like their ideal (4)
* Morality: (4)
* Idealism: (5)
* Total: 43.5/10 = 4.35. Practically certain. [[spoiler: It’s already started...]]

* Species: Human, probably (3)
* Gender: Male (2)
* Age: Middle-aged (3). Or Older (1). (2) is a nice round number.
* Role: Another high-ranking supporter (4).
* Aesthetics: The fact that we don’t know what this guy looks like automatically invokes (2).
* Motivation: Means well, but seems less likely to be nice. Still, (4)
* Characterization: So far, hasn’t shown much in the way of mercy, but is definitely not insane, so (3)
* Contentness: No idea (3)
* Morality: (4)
* Idealism (5)
* Total: 32/10 = 3.2. Not as low as one might have thought, but this could change as new information comes to light.

* Species: Human (3)
* Gender: Female (4)
* Age: Teenage (5)
* Role: At first she seems like a RivalTurnedEvil, but recent developments put her quite firmly in the opportunist camp (2)
* Aesthetics: Cute (5)
* Motivation: [[AttemptedRape Yeah, we know what she tried to do.]] (1)
* Characterization: She’s well crazy but this seems to have been something that developed over time... let’s go with (1.5)
* Contentess: She sure looks like she's having fun... (1)
* Morality: (4)
* Idealism (5)
* Total: 31.5/10 = 3.15. The least likely in the group, but not impossible especially if she has a FreudianExcuse or VillainousBreakdown.

* Morality: Very much GreyAndGrayMorality. 4

Total score: 3.6. ...That was absolutely no help at all.

Total score: 29/10 = 2.9 While not quite at 50/50, it’s definately a high mark. Being [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe an asari]] helps her there. But her [[ForTheEvulz motivation]] and [[PsychoForHire characterization]] keep her from floating as high as I’d expected.

Total score: 23/9 = 2.56 So evidently it isn’t likely to go Heretic on us any time soon, though it’s not impossible, if this algorithm is to be believed.

* Morality: The ''Mass Effect'' series, especially in the second and third games, seems to be MoralityKitchenSink. Plenty of good, evil, and anywhere in between - 3

Total score: 35/10 = 3.5. So we shouldn’t have been too surprised, but it wasn’t excruciatingly obvious.

* Morality of the story: There’s no real BigBad in ''[=DA2=]''; while the likes of [[CompleteMonster Ser Alrik]] do occasionally show up, it’s mostly more GrayAndGreyMorality. 4.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality, I’d say - 4

Total score: 30/10 = 3. Could have gone either way. Oh dear. Adelaide, I once again salute you.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4

Total score: 22/10 = 2.2. Still more likely than normal.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, given the Master’s presence - 3

Total score: 27/10 = 2.7. I think we're OK.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3

* Morality: Black and Grey - 5

Total score: 37/10 = 3.7

* Morality: Black and Grey - 5

Total score: 41/10 = 4.1

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. Unlike what most people say, ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' isn’t very much BlackAndGrayMorality, even if the “good” is pretty gray. The Good: Anyone opposing NOL, The Bad: NOL, The Evil: Izanami, Yuuki Terumi and Relius. Therefore - 4 (if you feel insistent on it being Black And Gray... then it's 1)

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 4.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3

* Morality: BlackAndWhiteMorality. - 2

* Morality: BlackAndWhiteMorality. - 2

* Morality: BlackAndWhiteMorality. - 2

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. Not as extreme as the ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' setting, but ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' still 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

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4

* Morality: SGU is a lot darker than its kin, pretty much B&G - 5

* Morality: B&G - 1

* Morality: There’s the true white, the true black, and all the grays in between. 2.

* Morality: Initially, the series is {{Black and White|Morality}}, but it resembles a lot more of TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil from the start of Season 4 onwards. Compromise - 3

Total score: 27/10 = 2.7

* Morality: 3

Total score: 33/10 = 3.3

* Morality: All over the place, game-wise. And we’re not even sure how to dial him in his own story, considering while White can be good, it goes jackass with him. Ignore.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4

* Morality: Black and White by the time of ''[=RotJ=]'' - 2

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 3.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, 4.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: RousseauWasRight. 5.

* Morality: Evil is made, not born, and any evil has the potential to be redeemed. 5

* Morality: See Above. 5

* Morality: 5

* Morality: Good, Bad and Evil. 4

* Total: 3.6

So she falls just about in the middle, just slightly more likely to HeelFaceTurn. Made the outcome very surprising!

* Morality: Earthly conflicts gravitate towards GrayAndBlackMorality, but things in Heaven are very much black and white. Let’s go with a 3.

* Morality: See above. Averages out to 3.5 this time.

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, 4.

26/9=2.89. Almost exactly a 50/50 shot.

For Marvel Cinematic Universe folks who have seen ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': we maybe weren’t expecting to see Loki pull a HeelFaceTurn. Or has he? Is he actually planning to stay on Team Good Guy? What’s in his future - becoming TheAtoner, RedemptionEqualsDeath, just plain being a RetiredMonster, or... screwing over the heroes yet again?

---

Jumping on the Creator/BioWare bandwagon, let’s play with ''VideoGame/DragonAge''!

* Literature/TheLordOfTheRings: Just to see if Gandalf with his wisdom should have predicted Saruman’s FaceHeelTurn:

* Motivation for doing good: Love towards Shana, so 2.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 3.
* Idealism: The series becomes more on the idealistic side by the end, so 4.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 3.
* Idealism: Same as above. 4.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 4.
* Idealism: Same as above. 2.
* 29/10 = 2.9 She was dangerously close, and Keisaku’s confession of his love to her saved her from going back to Heel.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 3.
* Idealism: Same as above, so 4.

* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 3.
* Idealism: Same as above. 4.

* Species: Everyone’s human; I'll leave this out.

* Idealism: Pretty idealistic, the hero of the story is a messiah. 4.
26.5/9 = 2.9444444444. Cuteness and Allen might yet save her but the MoralEventHorizon is looming not far away.

* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Female. 4
* Age: Young Adult. 4

* Characterization: Somewhere between 3 and 4. She is somewhat cold-blooded but she does have some honor too, so... 3.5

* Morality of the Story: Definitely some shades of grey with characters like Doyle. 3.
* Idealism of the Story: There’s some serious moments, but it’s a mostly silly light-hearted series, so 4.
* 31.5/10 = 3.15
** VERY close to the middle but leaning ever-so-slightly toward a turn back to the good guys. It’s definitely 50/50 and one of the more intriguing questions left to be answered as the show gears up for a third season.

* Species: Despite the presence of some other sentient non-human beings, this one is largely irrelevant.

* 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.

* Species: Despite the presence of some other sentient non-human beings, this one is largely irrelevant.

* Morality of the Story: BlackAndWhiteMorality at the time, so 2.
* Cynicism of the Story: Very idealistic. 1.
* 21/9 = 2.3333333333 (In realty, it was 27/9 = 3). They never saw it coming. Sokka was just paying extra attention.

* Species: Irrelevant

* 37/9 = 4.1111111111 He really did realize he was wrong, and was honestly trying to do better.

* Species: Irrelevant.

* Species: Irrelevant.

* 37/9 = 4.1111111111. 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.]]

* Species: Irrelevant.
* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: Teenager. 5
* Role: ArrogantKungFuGuy. 5
* Asthetics: Fangirls will scream EvilIsSexy, but if you ask him, RedRightHand, so 2
* Motivation: OK, this one is too easy. [[WellDoneSonGuy You could be the trope namer for this, Zuko.]] 5
* Characterization: Not only does he have some EvilVirtues, he is completely lost. 4.5

* 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

* Species: Irrelevant

* Morality of the Story: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. 4.
* Idealism of the Story: Idealistic. 5.

* Species: Despite the sentient frogs, human is the standard. I’ll leave this out.

* Age: He turned as a child, but now he is a teenager. 5
* Role: Freelancer, rival turned evil. 5
* Aesthetics: Sasuke is one cute teenie, isn't he? 5
* Motivation: By now he nearly is WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. 3
* Characterization: Stupid... uhm, lost and confused. 5
* Contentness: Life is hard. 4
* Morality: The good, Naruto and co., the bad, Team Hawk, and the evil, Akatsuki. 4
* Naruto is very idealistic. 5
* 38/9 = 4.2222222222. He’s coming back, believe it.
** Update: [[spoiler:If Chapter 627 is anything to go by, he comes back. The reunion of Team 7 four chapters later puts the icing on the cake.]]

Another ''Naruto'' character, since there is a theory on the WMG page that Kisame will turn face. Let’s see how this measures up.
* Species: Hardly looks human at all, and he’s said in terms of power to be like “A tailed beast, without the tails.” I’d say he’s inhuman. 1.
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young adult - 3

* Aesthetics: Monstrous - 1

* Characterization: Cold blooded - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4
* Idealism - Idealistic. 5.
** Total: 27/10 = 2.7. Not ''too'' out there, but it still looks somewhat unlikely.

* Species: Irrelevant.
* Gender: Male - 2

* Role: BigBad - 1

* Characterization: WorthyOpponent with Naruto - 4
* Contentness: Life is hard - 4
* Morality: BlackAndWhiteMorality - 2
* Idealism: Cynical - 1
* Score: 25/9 = 2.777. Slightly under 50/50. Don’t expect this to happen, but don’t call it an AssPull if it does.

* Species: Human - 2
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young Adult - 4
* Role: BigBad - 1
* Aesthetics: Pre-Jinchuuriki, he was covered with scars, so 3. Post-Jinchuuriki, definitely creepy, so 2

* Characterization: WorthyOpponent with Naruto - 4
* Contentness: Life is hard - 4
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4

** 31/10 = 3.1 Pre-Jinchuuriki; 30/10 = 3 Post-Jinchuuriki. Hmmm. Only time will tell whether he will go good or not. At this point he can go either way.

* Morality: A very BlackAndGrayMorality. 1.
* Idealism: He seems to be more of a realist than anything. 3.
* Average: 26.0/10 = 2.6

* Morality: BlackAndGrayMorality. 1.
* Idealism: Cynical through and through. 1.
* Average: 28.5/10 or 29.5/10 = 2.85 or 2.95.

* Morality: BlackAndGrayMorality. 1.
* Idealism: Actually turned out to be rather bitter and cynical, though not as much as Ulquiorra. 2.
* Average: 19.0/10 = 1.9, and it would be lower were he not so [[{{Bishonen}} pretty]]. That said, he ''might'' help the heroes, but it would almost certainly be [[EnemyMine for his benefit]] and not a true HeelFaceTurn.

* Gender: Female - 4.
* Age: Older - 1.
* Role: High-ranking - 4.
* Asthetics: EvilIsSexy - 4.
* Motivation: No idea what her motivation is - 3.
* Characterisation: EvenEvilHasStandards - 4.
* Contendness: Life is hard - 4.
* Morality of the story: GreyAndGrayMorality - 3.

* Species: Only humans exist in this manga.
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young Adult - 4
* Role: BigBad - 1
* Aesthetics: He can easily pass for his attractive sister whenever he crossdresses. Even without crossdressing, he looks pretty handsome already - 5
* Motivation: Verges between nihilism (such as having Tenma kill him to prove that his Nihilism succeeds) and ForTheEvulz. To balance it out - 2
* Characterization: Pretty cold-blooded due to his DissonantSerenity he so frequently does whenever he commits something horrible - 3
* Contentness: To just give a reason for his depraved acts... "Why not?" - 1
* Morality - Surprisingly, the series comes off as RousseauWasRight - 5
* Idealism - Verges towards idealistic by the end - 4

* Species: Human - 3.
* Gender: Female - 4.
* Age: Young Adult - 4.
* Role: Freelancer, TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou - 5.
* Asthetics: EvilIsSexy - 4.
* Motivation: Somewhere between ambitious and TheRival - 2.5.
* Characterization: Somewhat cold-blooded - 3.
* Contentness: Neutral, for now - 3.
* Morality: Shades of gray, what with Kevin and all - 3.
* Idealism: Really idealistic, actually. - 5.
* Total: 36.5/10 = 3.65. There’s a decent chance she may turn once more of her character background is revealed (which, according to WordOfGod, will happen in ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien''.) She’s definitely not as evil as Kevin was, and he turned face (of course, a lot of the reasoning behind his turn [[NotAsYouKnowThem ignores his previous characterization altogether.]])
** Update: [[spoiler: It happened, then later it was undone, then the undoing was undone and she’s moved back toward turning to the good side. Yeah, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor it’s one of those cases]].]]

----

We know that Griffith of ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'' went bad in a ''big'' way at the end of the anime, but what can the numbers tell us about whether or not we (and the Hawks) should have seen that big FaceHeelTurn coming?

* Gender: Male. 4.
* Age: Young Adult, much like Guts. 5.
* Role: Griffith is the leader of the Hawks, and though Guts is the protagonist of the series in general, the Hero role in the FiveManBand is most definitely Griffith. 1.
* Aesthetics: WhiteHairBlackHeart. 5.
* Motivation: He wants to rule a kingdom of his own, so I would chalk it up to glory. 5.
* Characterization: He’s rather arrogant, though not in a hot-headed way, and the “playing with dangerous stuff” definitely qualifies if you take that [[ArtifactOfDoom Crimson Behelit]] into consideration. 4.
* Contentness: And here’s where things get tricky. When we first meet Griffith, he’s doing well, which would net him about a 2 result. Then Guts leaves him, he has sex with the princess and gets put to the torture for a year, and he gets pushed past the DespairEventHorizon when he finds out about Guts and Casca’s relationship, which brings him to about the 5 mark near the end.
* Morality of the story: [[BlackAndGrayMorality Black and Gray]] all the way. 5.
* Cynicism of the story: And pretty far on the cynical end of the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism Sliding Scale]] to boot. 5.
* Total: Griffith at the start of the Hawks arc: 39/10 = 3.9, while Griffith near the end: 42/10 = 4.2. In either case, Guts and company ''definitely'' should have seen that big FaceHeelTurn from Griffith coming.

Now, can he ever redeem himself:
* Species: He’s now a member of the God Hand, which are pretty much the DemonLordsAndArchdevils. 1.
* Gender: Male. 2.

* Role: The BigBad. 1.
* Aesthetics: Griffith looks incredibly beautiful but said beauty just screams that there is something ''completely wrong'' about him. 2.
* Motivation: He’s a CompleteMonster. 1.
* Characterization: Griffith essentially epitomizes DespotismJustifiesTheMeans. 2.
* Contentness: He’s doing well. 2.
* Morality of the story: BlackAndGrayMorality. 1.
* Idealism of the story: Fucking ''1''.
* Total: 17/10 = '''1.7'''. Nope, Griffith isn’t going to be redeemed at all. He’s frozen his heart in favor of his own selfish desires.

Now let’s see how close [[VillainProtagonist Guts]] himself was to becoming [[HeWhoFightsMonsters just like those he fights]]...

* Total score: 35/10 = 3.5. So he wasn’t quite as bad as Griffith, but it’s still good that he [[WhatTheHellHero woke up]] when he did...

* Morality of the story: 5
* Cynicism of the story: 5
* Total score: 31/10 = 3.1. OK. So it’s an improvement, but things are still tense. The battle with the Inner Beast could really go either way at this point...

* Species: Contrary to what the FanDumb wants you to believe, everyone in this series is human.

* Morality: BlackAndGrayMorality in full force in this series. 5.
* Idealism: Despite the [[ArtStyleDissonance kiddy art style]], ''AGE'' rivals the Universal Century when it comes to cynicism. 5.

* 35/9 = 3.9. Well, [[JustForPun looks like someone prefers tofu over meat.]] [[SincerityMode In all seriousness,]] Flit better watch his back, because Frederick is going to show his true colors ''very soon.''

'''Aaron Echolls'''
* '''Species:''' Irrelevant, given it’s an all-human show.
* '''Gender:''' Male (2)
* '''Age:''' Middle Aged (3)
* '''Role:''' Big Bad (1)
* '''Aesthetics:''' InformedAttractiveness (4? 5? 4.5)
* '''Motivation:''' Gah, complicated. Beats Logan because he’s a nutjob. Kills Lilly to keep sleeping with her secret. Does other things to get away with killing Lilly. I’ll go with 2.
* '''Characterization:''' *shrug* Once we find out he killed Lilly, he becomes a pretty flat character... but he had some PetTheDog moments before. He’s pretty bats*** crazy, so I’ll go with 2.
* '''Contentment:''' He seems pretty cheerful most of the time, so 2.
* '''Morality:''' Black and Gray? Ish? (1)
* '''Idealism:''' Cynical (1)

18.5/9 = 2. Not really gonna happen. (Well, he’s dead, so...)

'''Cassidy Casablancas'''
* '''Gender:''' Male (2)
* '''Age:''' Teenaged (5)
* '''Role:''' Big Bad (1)
* '''Aesthetics:''' YMMV. I found him pretty EvilIsSexy, but not everyone would have. But I’ll go with 4 anyway.
* '''Motivation:''' Again, kinda complicated. With the biggest thing (the bus crash), it was desperation to avoid people finding out about how he was abused. Which is kinda between 3 and 2. (2.5)
* '''Characterization:''' ...GAH I HATE YOU. He seemed pretty ObviouslyEvil up on the roof (1), but cold-blooded (3) might fit better. He's bats*** crazy (2), but due to FreudianExcuse, gets considered “lost and confused” a lot (5). Especially just before he jumped. Averages say 2.
* '''Contentment:''' Given he kills himself in the end, he wasn’t having it easy. (5)
* '''Morality of story:''' Black and Gray (1)
* '''Idealism:''' Cynical (1)

23.5/9 = 2.6. Unlikely. (And he’s also dead, so I’m not sure these had that much of a point...)

* Species: “[[HumanAlien Human]]” (3)
* Gender: Male (2)

* '''Total:''' 36/10 or 37/10 = 3.6 or 3.7. Quite likely, really. [[spoiler: The fact that Negi wants to make like Nanoha only improves his chances.]]

* '''Total:''' 43.5/10 = 4.35. Practically certain. [[spoiler: It’s already started...]]

* '''Total:''' 32/10 = 3.2. Not as low as one might have thought, but this could change as new information comes to light.

* '''Total:''' 31.5/10 = 3.15. The least likely in the group, but not impossible especially if she has a FreudianExcuse or VillainousBreakdown.

Total score: 29/10 = '''2.9''' While not quite at 50/50, it’s definately a high mark. Being [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe an asari]] helps her there. But her [[ForTheEvulz motivation]] and [[PsychoForHire characterization]] keep her from floating as high as I’d expected.

Total score: 23/9 = '''2.56''' So evidently it isn’t likely to go Heretic on us any time soon, though it’s not impossible, if this algorithm is to be believed.

* Idealism: In his story? FUCKING '''5'''.

* Average: 42/10 = '''4.2'''. [[spoiler:Why did we ever think she was evil at all? Even without her joining Kyon to take her own Brigade down in novel 11, it was obvious that the real villains were only using her.]]

* Species: Hm... what are wizards, actually? But they’re very near to a superior species. 1
* Gender: Male. 4
* Age: He was supposed to be older and wiser. 2
* Role: He was a freelancer, wasn’t he? 4
* Aesthetics: Dignified. 2
* Motivation for doing good: What was his? 5

* Morality of the story: Black and white. 2
* Idealism: Quite idealistic. 2
22:8 = 2.75 We can’t blame Gandalf for his surprise, though Saruman’s lack of a clear motivation should have given him pause to think.

* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Male. 4
* Age: Teenager. 4
* Role: TheHero (probably the closest to one). 1
* Aesthetics: He's a ChickMagnet, so 1
* Motivation for doing good: Love towards Shana, so 2
* Characterization: NiceGuy, but gradually becomes less so as the series progresses, so 2
* Contentness: 3
* Morality of the story: GreyAndGreyMorality, so 4
* Idealism: Season 3 boils down between the rather idealistic Crimson Denizens against the rather cynical Flame Hazes. Judging how the Denizens win for the most part, this makes the series verge towards and idealistic side, so 2
26:10 = 2.6 While not as bad as what people say, him merging with the Snake of the Festival, ''at least'' [[DarkerAndEdgier darkened]] him.

* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: Teenager. 5
* Role: This one is complicated. You got a BigBad that is actually the BigGood, and judging how he joins two factions throughout the course of the story, this would also make him a freelancer. To balance things out, let's make it 3
* Aesthetics: TallDarkAndHandsome + {{Bishonen}} = 4
* Motivation: WellIntentionedExtremist, 4
* Characterization: Becomes disillusioned on how to end the war between the Denizens and Flame Hazes, and judging how he's the TokenGoodTeammate for both factions, let's put it at 5
* Contentness: He wants to make a world where Crimson Denizens no longer have to consume humans to survive, so 4
* Morality: GreyAndGreyMorality. 3
* Idealism: The series becomes more on the idealistic side by the end, so 4
37/10 = 3.7 So he ''is'' GoodAllAlong despite switching sides

* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Female. 4
* Age: She’s lived for centuries. 1
* Role: She cared more for fighting and vengeance, so 2
* Aesthetics: She’s MsFanservice. 4
* Motivation: Vengeance, so 3
* Characterization: Hard to say, so 3
* Contentness: She’s had a pretty hard life. 4
* Morality: GreyAndGreyMorality. 3
* Idealism: Same as above. 4
31/10 = 3.1 So she was kind of likely to go Face, but it took a defeat from Shana and Yuji to fully convince her to do so.

* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Female. 2
* Age: Centuries-old. 2
* Role: Hard to describe, but judging how she develops a romance relationship with Keisaku Sato, she's probably 2
* Aesthetics: MsFanservice. 1
* Motivation: Hard to tell, but probably 4.5
* Characterization: Hotheaded, 4
* Contentness: Her life’s pretty damn hard, and Snake of the Festival Yuji [[SerialEscalation exacerbated]] it, probably 4.5
* Morality: GreyAndGrayMorality. 4
* Idealism: Same as above. 2
29/10 = 2.9 She was dangerously close, and Keisaku’s confession of his love to her saved her from going back to Heel.

* Species: Humanoid, so 2
* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: Centuries-old. 1
* Role: Supporter of the Bal Masque. 4
* Aesthetics: OneWingedAngel. 2
* Motivation: Deeply cares for Hecate. 5
* Characterization: Admittedly, combining his aspects with Hecate, given that he deepy cares for her, probably 5
* Contentness: He wants to stay with Hecate, which eventually lead to his death, so he’s probably around 4.5
* Morality: GreyAndGreyMorality. 3
* Idealism: Same as above, so 4
32.5 So his deep love for Hecate did redeem him after all.

* Species: Humanoid. 2
* Gender: Female. 4
* Age: Centuries-old. 1
* Role: TheDragon. 4
* Aesthetics: MsFanservice. 5
* Motivation: Hard to say, so 3.5
* Characterization: As scheming and manipulative she is, she’s also just as able to inspire loyalty to many, so 3.5
* Contentness: Hard to say, so 3
* Morality: GreyAndGreyMorality. 3
* Idealism: Same as above. 4
33/10 = 3.3 So she’s likely to turn Face, considering that she survives in the end.

* Age: About 12 or so, let’s say child. 2
* Role: Quirky miniboss. 3
* Aesthetics: Cute in a loli way, let’s say 4.5
* Motivation: Roady really likes to play rough but also likes the Earl and her fellow Noah, make it 3
* Characterization: Unpredictable and nuts. 2
* Contentness: Road is having a lot of fun. 1
* Morality of the story: The main characters are mostly good, the Earl and the Noah are evil. The Black Order is very gray: 3
* Idealism: Pretty idealistic, the hero of the story is a messiah. 4
2,94. Cuteness and Allen might yet save her but the MoralEventHorizon is looming not far away.
** Given that Road has been revealed to be [[OlderThanTheyLook considerably older than she looks]] and she’s been over the MoralEventHorizon for the entire series, her chances don’t look good.

Abbey Gray from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays''. Already [[FaceHeelTurn turned]] once, will she be going back in season two?
* Species: Human. 3
* Gender: Female. 4

* Gender: Female. 4

* Role: TheDragon. 4
* Asthetics: EvilIsSexy. 4

* Characterization: Once cold, calm, and collected, but now totally bats*** crazy. 2

* 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
* 31/9 = 3.4 OR 35/9 = 3.9 (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 rather optimistic number, owing to her age and sex, and the series’ idealistic mindset in general. Had there been a post-finale special or fourth season instead of a SequelSeries with an all-new cast [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra set decades later]], chances ranged from just above 50/50 to actually pretty good that Azula would eventually have seen the light.

* Gender: Male. 4
* Age: Teenager. 4
* Role: Freelancer. 4
* Asthetics: Attractive. 1
* Motivation: It seemed to be just because it was the right thing to do, so 1 (in reality, it was 3)
* Characterization: He seemed to come off as an AntiHero at first, so 2 (in reality, it was 4)
* Contentness: He seemed to be doing all right, so 2 (in reality, it was 4)
* Morality of the Story: Black and White at the time, so 2
* Cynicism of the Story: Very idealistic. 1
* 21/9 = 2.3 (In realty, it was 27/9= 3). They never saw it coming. Sokka was just paying extra attention.

* And to follow up, just how likely is it that he saw the error of his ways?

* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: Teenager. 5
* Role: Still a Freelancer, so 5
* Asthetics: Attractive. 5
* Motivation: WellIntentionedExtremist. 4
* Characterization: I would say he has some sense of honor. 4
* Contentedness: Calmer and less emotionally troubled, but still unwell, so 3
* 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
* 37/9 = 4.1 He really did realize he was wrong, and was honestly trying to do better.

Let's do Ozai’s angels and compare them with Zuko.
Ty Lee:
* Species: Irrelevant.
* Gender: Female. 4

* 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’s 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
* 34/9 = 3.8
** 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

Mai:

* Gender: Female. 4

* Role: QuirkyMinibossSquad. 3
* Asthetics: Attractive. 5
* Motivation: Her country. 5

* Contentness: Neutral. Bored, off course. 3
* 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
* 37/9 = 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.]]

* 37.5/9 = 4.2
** OK, so at first I thought the show subverted the algorithm because Zuko is a boy with a deforming scar and Azula is an attractive girl. But even taking that into account, Zuko was the more likely to have a Heel-Face Turn.

* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Middle Aged - 3
* Role: BigBad - 1
* Asthetics: EvilIsSexy - 4
* Motivation: He’s a CompleteMonster, but he has shades of being a SocialDarwinist. Let’s call it 1.5.
* Characterization: ObviouslyEvil - 1
* Contentness: Enjoying every minute - 1
* Morality of the Story: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4
* Idealism of the Story: Idealistic - 5

* 38:9=4.2. He’s coming back, believe it.
* UPDATE: [[spoiler:If Chapter 627 is anything to go by, he comes back. The reunion of Team 7 four chapters later puts the icing on the cake.]]

** Score: 25/9 = 2.777. Slightly under 50/50. Don’t expect this to happen, but don’t call it an AssPull if it does.

* Gender: Male - 2.
* Age: Adult but extremely immature; we’ll split the difference and say young adult - 3.
* Role: Key player, but also an independent contractor - 5.
* Asthetics: Sort of geeky-cute - 3 or 4. We’ll go with 4.
* Motivation: ForScience! with a god-complex - 2.
* Characterization: At the start, 2, but showed a need for people to like and accept his work. As of “Belonging”, he’s realising the implications of his work, pushing him right over into “lost and confused” - 5.
* Contentness: At the start, he was lost in the science and in his cool toys, so 1. Now that he’s been faced with the amorality of some of the upper echelon, he’s thought seriously for the first time about what he actually does - 4.
* Morality: {{Black and Grey Morality}}, shading into {{Grey and Gray Morality}} at times. It’s a Whedon show; it might change at any time. Right now we’re at 3.
* Idealism: It exists, but it usually comes up short against reality - 2.
** 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.
*** Update: [[spoiler: It happened.]]

* Female - 4.
* Older - 1.
* High-ranking - 4.
* EvilIsSexy - 4.
* No idea what her motivation is - 3.
* EvenEvilHasStandards - 4.
* Life is hard - 4.
* {{Grey and Gray Morality}} - 3.
* Idealism: 2.
** 25/9 = 2.7. She might be further from turning than we think, but we can probably count on it by the end of the season.
*** Update: [[spoiler: It happened.]]

** 27/9 = 3. Hmmmm. For a CompleteMonster, that’s pretty high. He could go either way at this point. It’s all a matter of Dr. Tenma’s idealism being able to completely influence him for the better.

** Total: 36.5/10 = 3.65. There’s a decent chance she may turn once more of her character background is revealed (which, according to WordOfGod, will happen in ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien''.) She’s definitely not as evil as Kevin was, and he turned face (of course, a lot of the reasoning behind his turn [[NotAsYouKnowThem ignores his previous characterization altogether.]])
*** Update: [[spoiler: It happened, then later it was undone, then the undoing was undone and she’s moved back toward turning to the good side. Yeah, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor it’s one of those cases]].]]

* Species: Human - 3
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: Young Adult, much like Guts - 5
* Role: Griffith is the leader of the Hawks, and though Guts is the protagonist of the series in general, the Hero role in the FiveManBand is most definitely Griffith - 1
* Aesthetics: WhiteHairBlackHeart - 5
* Motivation for doing good: He wants to rule a kingdom of his own, so I would chalk it up to glory - 5
* Characterization: He’s rather arrogant, though not in a hot-headed way, and the “playing with dangerous stuff” definitely qualifies if you take that [[ArtifactOfDoom Crimson Behelit]] into consideration - 4

* Morality of the Story: [[BlackAndGrayMorality Black and Gray]] all the way - 5
* Cynicism of the Story: And pretty far on the cynical end of the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism Sliding Scale]] to boot - 5
** Total: Griffith at the start of the Hawks arc: 39/10 = '''3.9''', while Griffith near the end: 42/10 = '''4.2'''. In either case, Guts and company ''definitely'' should have seen that big FaceHeelTurn from Griffith coming.

* Species: He’s now a member of the God Hand, which are pretty much the DemonLordsAndArchdevils - 1
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young Adult - 4
* Role: The BigBad - 1
* Aesthetics: Griffith looks incredibly beautiful but said beauty just screams that there is something ''completely wrong'' about him - 2
* Motivation for doing evil: He’s a CompleteMonster - 1
* Characterization: Griffith essentially epitomizes DespotismJustifiesTheMeans - 2
* Contentness: He’s doing well - 2
* Morality of the Story: BlackAndGrayMorality - 1
* Idealism: Fucking ''1''.
** Total: 17/10 = '''1.7'''. Nope, Griffith isn’t going to be redeemed at all. He’s frozen his heart in favor of his own selfish desires.

* Species: Human - 3
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: Young Adult - 5
* Role: The Hero, as he is the protagonist of the series in general - 1
* Aesthetics: Overall, he’s pretty handsome - 1
* Motivation: At his worst, he was driven purely by revenge, and really didn’t give a damn about others - 5
* Characterization: He could be the poster boy for ByronicHero - 2
* Contentness: Life was pretty damn hard for him - 4
* Morality: Black and Grey - 5
* Cynicism: It would be hard to find something much more cynical than this series- 5
** Total score: 35/10 = '''3.5'''. So he wasn’t quite as bad as Griffith, but it’s still good that he [[WhatTheHellHero woke up]] when he did...

* Species: Human - 3
* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: Still a young adult - 5
* Role: The Hero - 1
* Aesthetics: Attractive - 1
* Motivation: I think his main priority now is really to take care of his companions (especially Casca) - 2
* Characterization: Still quite a ByronicHero - 2
* Contentness: Doing better, but still has troubles - 3
* Morality: 5
* Cynicism: 5
** Total score: 31/10 = '''3.1'''. OK. So it’s an improvement, but things are still tense. The battle with the Inner Beast could really go either way at this point...

Result: 35/9 = 3.9. Well, [[JustForPun looks like someone prefers tofu over meat.]] [[SincerityMode In all seriousness,]] Flit better watch his back, because Frederick is going to show his true colors ''very soon.''
* Update: [[spoiler:Now that was unexpected. Turns out he’s NOT the Vagan spy after all.]]

Result: 30.5/10. Very good, above average chance. But still, it all depends if Litchi succeeds or not... AND whether he can finally do something on that inferiority complex of his.

How about Miles Edgeworth from ''Franchise/AceAttorney''? How likely was his Heel-Face Turn in the first place?
* Species: Irrelevant in the ''Ace Attorney'' universe
* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: Young Adult. 4
* Role: Could be considered Phoenix’s RivalTurnedEvil (though he is definitely an AntiVillain at worst) 5
* Aesthetics: Definitely attractive. 5
* Motivation: Pratically screams WellIntentionedExtremist! 4
* Characterization: Very honorable and worthy opponent. 4

* Morality: This is a difficult one. I’ll leave this out for now.
* 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...

* 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

* Morality of the story: {{Grey And Gray|Morality}}, as summed up at the end of “Lie To Me”. 3
* Idealism: Oh, [[ThePowerOfLove that warm energy pervading your heart]]! And the power of a nice “TakeThat” to society, when in the end you prove to be better than all those [[SarcasmMode nice people]] that spit on you! And the disarming force of heart-felt redemption! 5!

Result: 30/10 = '''3'''. It was an exact 50/50 chance, and Spike’s luck just happened to favor the side of good.

* Idealism: Personally I feel that it’s more cynical than idealistic, although there are elements of both. Is a 3 allowed? 3.

Result: 37/10: 3.7. High enough that Joss Whedon, with his endless love for inconsistent moralities, would definitely have FaceHeelTurn-ed her. The Scoobies were screwed.

* Species: Cybertronian/Alien-robot. 2
* Gender: Male. 2
* Age: He acts like someone middle-aged. 3
* Role: Serves as the Decepticons’ [[TheBrute Brute]]. 3
* Aesthetics: Has an EyepatchOfPower after getting one of his optics ripped out. 2
* Motivation: His motives aren’t said out loud, but he seems to be loyal to Megatron. 5
* Characterization: NobleDemon. 4
* Contentness: Seems to be doing okay, but not great. 3
* Morality: BlackAndWhiteMorality. 2
* Idealism: Middle of the road when it comes to idealism. 3

Result: 29/10 = 2.9 Breakdown almost reaches 50/50. Whether he’ll go through a HeelFaceTurn is in question; only time will tell. [[spoiler: He got killed before he could change sides.]]

* Gender: Female. 4

* Motivation: At this point, she claims to be a SocialDarwinist in believing only the strong survive. 3.

* Morality: Hmm... hard to peg. BlackAndGrayMorality seems to be in her mindset and seems to hold true (Black = Hanzo’s group, Grey = Everyone else). 1.

Result: 30.5/9: 3.38. Well I guess like it or not, she’s going to have to turn Face again and help out fulfill Yukimura’s prediction.
End Result: Yes she did stop being a Heel, but she just doesn’t feel like returning after betraying the team, but is definitely hanging around with another good free spirit Jinpachi. So... success?

* Average: 28.5/10 = 2.85. In a more cynical story, she likely ''would'' have been EvilAllAlong.[[note]]Note that most of what pulls her towards a Heel-Face Turn is not made clear until the climax.[[/note]] Truly Tanigawa is a master of misdirection.

* Species: Irrelevant
* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Middle - 3
* Role: Right now... definitely the Big Bad! - 1
* Aesthetics: I’d say average looking - 3

* Characterization: PRIDE!!! - 2

* Morality: ''Series/BreakingBad'' has a variety of characters, ranging from very evil people like Tuco and the Cousins, to fairly bad people like Walt, to decent people like Jesse, to truly good people like Hank and Walter Junior. I think it is safe to go with TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil. - 4
* Cynicism: VERY cynical - 1

Average: 23/9 = 2.6

So Walt isn’t completely doomed to get even worse and become a CompleteMonster, but he does lean slightly more towards that path...

[[spoiler: Update: Or is he? Despite his low score, “Gliding Over All” seems to hint at him trying to do better...]]

* Gender: Male - 4
* Age: Still in middle age - 3
* Role: The Hero - 1
* Aesthetics: Was pretty handsome when younger, but then then became pretty plain-looking - 3
* Motivation: Was a good person who loved his family - 2
* Characterization: Outwardly meek, but deep down bitter about his lack of career achievements - 3

* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 3
* Cynicism: Still very cynical - 5

Average: 27/9 = 3.0.

So how far Walter White fell can be considered quite shocking, though not completely unexpected. He was Mr. Chips... and then he became Scarface.

* Gender: Male - 2
* Age: Young Adult - 4
* Role: Technically, he is the Deuteragonist, but he mostly functions as Walt’s right-hand man, and he is definitely much less of a villain than Walt. However, some might disagree and say that he and Walt are together the Villain Protagonists. Either 1 or 4.
* Aesthetics: YMMV, but I’d say he is attractive, especially with hair. Plus, he’s gotten a number of girls. - 5

* Characterization: Deep down, he’s a good person. He is also definitely lost and confused to some extent. - 5
* Contentness: More often than not, life has pretty much sucked for him. - 5
* Morality: TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil - 4
* Idealism: 1

Average: 31/ 9 = 3.4 OR 34/9 = 3.8

Either way, things look very hopeful for Jesse. [[spoiler: Of course, given how cynical ''Series/BreakingBad'' is, the high redemption score might be the [[DownerEnding set-up for something really awful...]]]]

29.5/8=3.6875. Pretty high, but still quite low for the most notorious FaceHeelTurn ever.

20/10=2. Not likely, but again, still pretty high for ''the'' villain.

* Age: This troper isn’t exactly sure, but I’dput it at sixteen/seventeen: teenager. 4.

* Motivation: Now that’s pretty hard. She seems to be doing it for her kind, which would’ve made her a 2. But given her monstrosity in the comics, it’s leaning to 4. I'll just play it safe and make it 3.

* Role: Well, he's was the BigBad for the season 3 premiere. 1.

* Morality of the story: It’s a MoralityKitchenSink thus TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, but the poster boys and girls seems to like to promote BlackAndWhiteMorality. I’ll give it an average of 3.

* Average: 31/10 = 3.1. It’s just slightly above average, but the chance is there for Widowmaker to become Peacemaker...

* Morality of the story: It’s a MoralityKitchenSink thus TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, but the poster boys and girls seems to like to promote BlackAndWhiteMorality. I’ll give it an average of 3.

* Average: 25.5/10 = 2.55. Unlike Widowmaker, Reaper seemed more ''content'' in being evil, so I guess what was edgelord shall still be edgelords in the end... But it’s not the bottom of the barrel, so there may be a slim chance.

* Morality of the story: It’s a MoralityKitchenSink thus TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, but the poster boys and girls seems to like to promote BlackAndWhiteMorality. I'll give it an average of 3.

* Average: 27.5/10 = 2.75. Surprisingly only a few points higher than Reaper but still below average. I guess looks do factor in redeemability, but Sombra still had it low.

* Morality of the story: It’s a MoralityKitchenSink thus TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, but the poster boys and girls seems to like to promote BlackAndWhiteMorality. I’ll give it an average of 3.

* Average: 40/10 = 4. Well there’s a reason she's the AntiVillain, so Vishkar might want to count their days on when they’ll stay relevantly evil, since Symmetra may either give them the boot, or as a part of redemption, reform it to a more honest corporate in vision of her order.

* Morality of the story: It’s a MoralityKitchenSink thus TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil, but the poster boys and girls seems to like to promote BlackAndWhiteMorality. In this score? 2.5
* Idealism of the story: 3. While the good guys like to promote idealism, the bad guys have gotten a good score as well.
* Average: 32.5/10 = 3.25. Rather above average. Wow, Genji probably should start praying that Hanzo will have his honor unsullied.

** Despite some admittedly unrepentantly evil moments, even a somewhat unsympathetic interpretation of Azula’s character gives a rather optimistic number, owing to her age and sex, and the series’ idealistic mindset in general. Had there been a post-finale special or fourth season instead of a SequelSeries with an all-new cast [[WesternAnimation/TheLastAirbenderTheLegendOfKorra set decades later]], chances ranged from just above 50/50 to actually pretty good that Azula would eventually have seen the light.

* Idealism of the Story: Very much so. 1
* 21/9 = 2.3. They never saw it coming. Sokka was just paying extra attention.

* Motivation: Well Intentioned Extremist. 4

* Morality of the Story: The Good The Bad And The Evil, especially toward the end of season two. 4

* Characterization: Lawful Evil, 3.

*** Update: [[spoiler: It happened, then later it was undone, then the undoing was undone and she’s moved back toward turning to the good side. Yeah, [[FaceHeelRevolvingDoor it’s one of those cases]].]]

Now let’s see how close [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Guts]] himself was to becoming [[VillainProtagonist just like those he fights]]...

* Characterization: He could be the poster boy for Byronic Hero - 2

* Idealism: It would be hard to find something much more cynical than this series- 5

* Characterization: Still quite a Byronic Hero - 2

* Role: Could be considered Phoenix’s Rival Turned Evil (though he is definitely an Anti-Villain at worst) 5

* Motivation: Pratically screams Well-Intentioned Extremist! 4

* Motivation: For doing evil: he is unscrupulous and has precise goals, so 2.

* Morality of the story: Gray and Gray, as summed up at the end of “Lie To Me”. 3

Now let’s take a gander at Faith’s original Face-Heel Turn, shall we?

* Morality: Initially, the series is Black and White, but it resembles a lot more of The Good, The Bad, and The Evil from the start of Season 4 onwards. Compromise - 3

* Morality: ''Series/BreakingBad'' has a variety of characters, ranging from very evil people like Tuco and the Cousins, to fairly bad people like Walt, to decent people like Jesse, to truly good people like Hank and Walter Junior. I think it is safe to go with The Good, The Bad, and The Evil. - 4
* Idealism: VERY cynical - 1

* Morality: The Good, The Bad, and The Evil - 3
* Idealism: Still very cynical - 5

* Morality: The Good, The Bad, and The Evil - 4

* Morality: The Good, The Bad, and The Evil - 4

* Characterization: He is so obviously evil that he may as well hold up a sign saying so. However, he also shows a lot of Lawful Evil tendencies. I’ll go with 3.

||'''Contentness''' with life in general and good in particular || [[GoodFeelsGood Enjoying every minute]] || Doing well || Neutral || Life is hard || [[BeingGoodSucks Angst, angst, angst...]] ||

* Role: TheDarkChick of Hanzo’s FiveBadBand. 4.

* Characterization: His whole personality is a façade, so we don’t have a clue. Based on his interactions with Kyon, though, he’s likely a 2.
* Contentness: Again, his public persona is a façade, and though he is always outwardly happy and pleasant around Haruhi, he seems to find his esper duties quite stressful in actuality. Let’s say a 4.

* Gender: Female ([[ImplausiblyFemaleCast not that it matters]]). 4

* Characterization: His whole personality is a façade, so we don’t have a clue. Based on his interactions with Kyon, though, he’s likely a 2.
* Contentness: Again, his public persona is a façade, and though he is always outwardly happy and pleasant around Haruhi, he seems to find his esper duties quite stressful in actuality. Let’s say a 4.

* Motivation: Another tricky one. At first it isn’t clear why he does what he does, but in his next appearance he explains that he wants to free humans from the tyranny of causality, suggesting a WellIntentioneExtremist, though his willingness to resort to ''murder'' makes him a KnightTemplar. Yet after he crosses the MoralEventHorizon, he [[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]] and reveals that his real motivation is [[spoiler:despair at losing his big sister, Mikuru]], so he crosses over with [[spoiler:Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]], for a 3.5
