Line #174 AffablyEvil/FanWorks


1	----
2	[[AC:''Manga/AhMyGoddess'']]
3	* ''Fanfic/AhArchfall'':
4	** Hild, who may rule Hell but she appears to have developed a liking to Jago due to his bluff and open nature. Enough to give him her personal phone number.
5	** Damascus is THE original Nightmare and doesn't like anyone, to the point that she has actually threatened to EAT Noble Scarlet. However, she becomes fiercely loyal to Jago and though him Lamb, Lind, and the others, willing to risk her own life to save them. Plus she likes Jammy Dodgers.
6
7	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Ben 10}}'']]
8	* ''FanFic/Tech10Rebooted'' has Warlord Kroz, a fairly decent person to be around until you fight him, and even then, he mostly remains calm and collected.
9
10	[[AC: ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'']]
11	* In [[Fanfic/DownfallBleach Downfall]], most of the villains are motivated by truly noble intentions. Of course, any fic that has [[spoiler: Unohana, Ukitake, and Kyoraku]] working to overthrow the Seireitei...it's a given. Bonus points for making [[spoiler: Aizen, Gin, and Tousen]] the ''good'' guys. ''Realistically.'' By the time the reader's done, they want Seireitei burnt to the ground...
12	* Fanfic/AlabasterOrchestra:
13	** Bazz-B has no problem flirting with or poking fun at his enemies in the midst of battle.
14	** [[{{WickedCultured}} The Emperor holds a civilized discourse with Aizen.]]
15	** Aizen as well, reciprocating the Emperor's respect even as he politely declines the offer to join the Vandenreich in exchange for his freedom. He even politely offers condolences to the Emperor when he senses Driscoll's death.
16	** Mask quickly befriends Ichigo and offers him support after he joins the Empire.
17	** The elderly and bespectacled Stern Ritter gives Ichigo a supportive nod during his induction into the Stern Ritter.
18	* In ''Fanfic/AProtectorsPride'', [[spoiler:Hell]] seems to spend most of his time in combat complimenting his opponents when they impress him, such as with [[spoiler:Hachi's barriers and Yamamoto's bankai]].
19
20	[[AC: ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'']]
21	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2172417/1/False-Smiles False Smiles]],'' the Scoobies manage to stop Mayor Wilkins' ascension by first finding out exactly what he needs to do and when he needs to do it in order to ascend in the first place, and then stopping him from meeting all the requirements. At the end of the story, the Mayor, who is still technically invincible and immortal, actually ''congratulates'' the Scoobies on a job well done, and thanks them for being such fine upstanding examples of young people taking an interest in the safety of the community. He also remarks that he'll just wait around until his next chance to turn into a gigantic man-eating snake demon. In the meantime, he tells them, he's going to concentrate on civic improvement and keeping the "bad elements" out of Sunnydale.
22
23	[[AC: CrossOver]]
24	* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': Perry Porter runs a DeadlyGame tournament in an UndergroundCity he founded and is a loyal supporter of the original All For One. Other than that, he's a pretty chill guy and loving father to Gus. Especially if you're a fellow All For One ally, don't double-cross him and want to help him overthrow Emperor Belos.
25	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Baron Zemo, who is perfectly calm and polite at all times, will [[CombatCompliment take the time to genuinely compliment]] a WorthyOpponent on their stratagem/skills, and the most impolite he ever gets is mildly [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]]. He's also a ruthless SocialDarwinist who believes entirely in HYDRA's agenda of placing 'the strong' above 'the weak', as well as being both utterly merciless and beyond deadly in close-quarters combat.
26	** Alexander Pierce fits this perfectly, being perfectly friendly towards Lucius in their meeting, later charming Harry and [[EvilDetectingDog Freki and Geri]], and promising, once Harry mentions that Nick Fury (a close friend of his mother) hasn't dropped by for a visit, or even sent a message, to arrange for one, ordering it if necessary. In other words, he acts like a kindly grandfather. He also puts Lucius on edge (since both are aware that the other will dispose of them [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness as soon as they are no longer necessary]]), stealthily manipulates Harry into emotional turmoil so he can discreetly get a reading on his powers, and doesn't even bat an eyelid when Lucius mentions that he plans to kill Harry, merely remarking that it's mildly regrettable since he rather liked him.
27	** Sinister tends to speak in a CreepyMonotone and regards humanity and other species as his personal petri dish. However, he's also usually polite, and almost never raises his voice... until [[spoiler: Maddie]] breaks his control. [[VillainousBreakdown Then he loses it a bit.]]
28	** Dracula, for all his occasional savagery (which is usually calculated, and unsurprising considering his historical counterpart) has [[EvenEvilHasStandards strict standards]], a distaste for underhanded tactics (even though he acknowledges their occasional necessity), and is generally fairly cultured and polite. However, he's also a borderline example, as if you manage to really make him angry... then you'll see the monster beneath.
29	* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': Nyarlathotep is polite, congenial, and charismatic... even when he is readying to obliterate your soul. When [[spoiler:Asuka and Touji are fighting him and even swearing at him,]] he remains non-offended and even amused.
30	* ''FanFic/DungeonKeeperAmi'' has [[ThoseTwoGuys Mukrezar and his Butler]]. One, a quirky GeniusDitz, with a serious [[ComedicSociopathy bloodthirsty streak]] that fails to actually compromise his charisma. The other, WickedCultured, with ManlyFacialHair and a [[BadassInANiceSuit classy suit]]. A literal BattleButler. Both? Awesome.
31	--> The skeleton that teleported onto the battlements had a gilded skull covered partly by a ruby mask. "Mukrezar!"\
32	The pointy-eared Keeper didn't turn around. "I'm busy," he said, pointing across the tooth-shaped crenellations of his dungeon. "Those corpses won't poison themselves, High Priest."\
33	"Mukrezar, you must-"\
34	On the blood-soaked battlefield, a white cave crow keeled over, a half-devoured eye in its beak.\
35	"This would be so much easier if those fools just caved in to my eminently reasonable demands, but no! They prefer me killing them and turning to cannibalism." He shook his head slowly, making disappointed noises.\
36	"I have important instructions from-"\
37	"Actually, since you are here, how about you zombify some of those corpses for me? The meal climbing out of the pot to wreak carnage upon the starving defenders would be deliciously ironic, in my opinion."\
38	"SHUT UP!"\
39	Mukrezar finally turned around and looked his visitor up and down. Water dripped from the skeleton's richly-embroidered robes, creating a puddle around its feet. The elf looked pointedly at the garment's singed fringe, which was still steaming. "Bad day?"
40	* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'', Gadjo, despite being an AxCrazy psychotic BloodKnight, seems to be a pretty nice guy when he's not trying to kill you.
41	* Continuing [[Tropers/AleineSkyfire Aleine Skyfire's]] trend (see the Sherlock Holmes listing below), Colonel Moran is made even ''more'' complicated in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'', [[AttemptedRape trying to rape]] a 17-year-old girl before he kills her and yet respecting that same girl's unconditional love for Holmes. And speaking genuinely ''normally'' with Holmes while torturing him. Yeah.
42	** In the same series, Professor Moriarty is FauxAffablyEvil, and yet he has his moments in which you get the feeling he just might be sincere.
43	** Which is taken up to ''true'' AffablyEvil with his clone in the second season. He has rather less of a vendetta against Sherlock and is something of a fairly polite and definitely respectful StalkerWithACrush towards Beth Holmes.
44	* ''FanFic/EquestriaGirlsFriendshipSouls'':
45	** Despite being Arrancar and as a species acclimated to violence and negative emotions naturally, Ember, Di Roy, Lament, and Roka can be pretty nice and friendly. Despite his more brutal nature Torch also has enough positive traits to avoid falling into FauxAffablyEvil territory.
46	** Thorax, Pharynx, and Ocellus, despite their mother Chrysalis being FauxAffablyEvil incarnate, are all shown to be surprisingly well-adjusted and civil Arrancar who never go out their way to act like assholes to others.
47	* In ''FanFic/EventHorizonStormOfMagic'', The Company™ is a ruthless and amoral futuristic MegaCorp, but most of their staff are pleasant, polite, and genuinely friendly people.
48	* In ''FanFic/GameOfTouhou'', a lot of villains are very affable: Seiga will casually hand one of her whores to others (until she [[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]]), Yukari is soft-speaking, [[spoiler:Yuyuko]] enjoys chatting with the smallfolk.
49	* In ''Fanfic/RoyalHeights'', the main antagonist Embry is quite the educated and polite HotWitch with a classy wardrobe and even classier personality. She has a penchant for manors, offers tea to her visitors, and is incredibly gleeful and passionate about her plans to destroy an entire dimension.
50	* In ''FanFic/OriginStory'', there's Magneto, in the appropriately titled Chapter 21: “Breakfast With Magneto”.
51	* Fanfic/ALoudAmongDemons: Millie makes it clear that she has little problem with assassination, and can be very cold-blooded when the situation calls for it, but she's incredibly sweet and kind to Lincoln.
52	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11188292/1/Deal-with-a-Devil Deal with a Devil]]'' the slaver who captures Literature/HarryPotter is openly and honestly friendly to Harry. Unlike most examples, this only serves to make him more horrific in Harry's mind; the man sells children into slavery and treats it like it's just another job. His only saving grace is that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's clearly uncomfortable that some of them are likely to be sex slaves]]; not uncomfortable enough to stop selling children into slavery though.
53	* Harry and his new "friends" in ''FanFic/AceOfSpades'' can be quite polite.
54	* Vulpes Inculta of ''FanFic/ADeadWorld'' is soft-spoken and polite for a Legionary; you could almost forget that he would have absolutely no problem with crucifying an entire village just to make a point. Which he did.
55	* Ulquiorra in ''FanFic/AHollowInEquestria'' is definitely this. Despite his blunt nature, he's capable of being polite to others and willing to engage in thought-provoking conversations over a cup of tea. Despite being polite he has no qualms with killing whatever gets in his way. He'll even pay you a compliment before ripping your heart out of your chest in front of your friends.
56	* [[spoiler:First Quarter]] in ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' legitimately remembers and cares for all of the children they've ever had throughout their long life, endorses a crush that one of their elites has on their personal butler for grins and giggles, holds jovial conversations with their underlings, and is an outright BenevolentBoss. None of this hides the facts that they manipulated their elites into joining their inner circle to start with, steals the bodies of other ponies to keep living whenever their current shell dies of illness or age, and is fixated on destroying Leviathan and ousting Celestia from power.
57	* In ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'', Cree Lincoln from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is like this at the start of her date, though she drops the Affably part after Danny dumps her upon discovering her [[ChildHater child-hating]] nature.
58	* ''Fanfic/TheMarvelousWorldOfDC'': Rasputin is pretty polite for a demon-worshiping mystic. So is ComicBook/TheKingpin. Indeed, Fisk is a lot more polite than Lex Luthor, his partner.
59	* ''Fanfic/WhatTheCatDraggedIn'' has its FinalBoss, [[spoiler:Peacemonger]]. He scolds Natasha for being rude, his motivations involve the protection of innocent civilians [[WellIntentionedExtremist (even if his methods leave much to be desired)]], and he absolutely ''refuses'' to harm Ladybug and Chat Noir in their fight [[WouldntHurtAChild because they're both minors]]. This only ends up disturbing Natasha more, because [[spoiler: it's all fairly in-character for Tony]].
60	* ''[[https://my.w.tt/rgv8oRbQIZ Final Stand of Death]]'': Music/MarilynManson doesn’t hide the fact he’s evil, the evilest man in America, yet he remains calm and a gentleman. He often has kind discussion with the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} Los Boricuas]] while searching for Fusion Gundam.
61	* ''Fanfic/APeacefulAfterlife'': Most of HOLY DIVER's crew have an airy sort of good humor about them, but Moonshine is easily the most outright jovial. Be it his good relations with Cherri Bomb or his politeness towards Charlie, even when killing people he strives to be friendly.
62	* ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'':
63	** While Jade has taken back the title of the Queen of the Shadowkhan and decided to get retribution on the heroes [[CreateYourOwnVillain for their actions]] by helping Phobos take back Meridian's throne and ruining the heroes' daily lives, she remains amiable with her comrades in the Knights of Vengeance, especially Raythor, [[FriendlyAddressPrivileges allows them to continue addressing her simply as Kage]], bargains Miranda and Cedric out of Phobos' service to give them a fresh start out of sympathy, is a BenevolentBoss to the Phobos loyalists under her command, shows leniency to enemies [[KnowWhenToFoldEm who understand to surrender before angering her too much]], and convinces Phobos to take the throne back [[VillainWithGoodPublicity by winning his people's support]] through PragmaticVillainy instead of going on a wanton rampage.
64	** Tyrian, for all of his [[AxCrazy insanity and bloodthirstiness]], is very amusing, sincere in his worship of Jade, reciprocating of [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Rosetta's interest in him]], and can be friendly, if [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} mischievously and exasperatingly so]], most of the time.
65	* ''Fanfic/NewVegasShowtime'': The convict Makoto interacts with in Primm is a former NCRCF inmate that broke out of the facility, probably took part in the assault of Primm, and tried to mug Makoto the moment he saw her, but once he realized she's a FishOutOfTemporalWater, he hands her wallet back and gives her advice on how to reach relative safety. Unlike his colleague, he also doesn't try to hit on her.
66	* ''Fanfic/AKnightsTaleAsInquisitor'': [[spoiler: When Arturia and Dorian are sent back in time]], they meet the latter's ancestor Magister Remerien Pavus, who is an high ranking EvilSorcerer in a corrupt society built on brutal slavery and highly dangerous that would hunt the world of Thedas to the present day. He's also ''very'' understanding and welcoming to the two and aids them in [[spoiler: returning back to their original time.]] He even takes in a would-have-been slave and her child as a servant in his household [[spoiler: that was saved by Arturia.]]
67
68	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'']]
69	* In ''Fanfic/NegaverseChronicles'', the [[MirrorUniverse Negaverse]] version of [[MadScientist Gyro]] is portrayed this way. He will be perfectly polite to anyone he talks to, will show his blueprints when asked, offer gifts or a share of the profits to his fellow criminals, but he also intends to steal Scrooge [=McDuck's=] money and doesn't have a problem with the idea that his [[LivingBattery invention might]] [[PoweredByAForsakenChild kill someone]].
70
71	[[AC:''Franchise/TheDCU'']]
72	* ''Fanfic/DanceWithTheDemons'': Ra's Al Ghul may be a monster who intends to wipe out ninety percent of the world's population, but his manners are impeccable. He's unfailingly polite and respectful at all times.
73	* ''Fanfic/CListers'':
74	** Harley Quinn. She's friendly to pretty much everyone, serves as Firefly's therapist, and takes Polka-Dot Man out on a spa day to help with his low self-esteem.
75	** Polka-Dot Man. He's a shy, kind dork and probably the sanest of the C-listers, but he's still a supervillain and it's mentioned he's killed people in the past.
76
77	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'']]
78	* [[spoiler: Chaos]] from the ''FanFic/TamersForeverSeries'' isn't actually ''evil'' but still, for a ten billion-year-old avatar of destruction and disorder, it's remarkable just how ''normal'' he seems.
79
80	[[AC:''Series/DoctorWho'']]
81	* While the Daleks in ''WebVideo/TheBuggerAnthology'' are still as murderous as ever, the anthology depicts them as highly chatty and possessing a sense of humor. At one point some Daleks apologize to the Doctor for not being more hospitable, while Dalek Bernard Ponsoby is pretty friendly with Leo as it possesses him.
82	* The suave, elegant, collected Master of ''Fanfic/TheRoadToShalka'', who treats the Doctor's companion to a glass of juice and a story about how Three beat him at fencing. He also plots relentlessly and [[ThrownOutTheAirlock spaces people]], although it's not someone we'd like. He flat-out says there's just nothing for him to gain by hurting Jasmine, and that's why he doesn't.
83
84	[[AC:''Franchise/DragonBall'']]
85	* Several of the villains of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', including Nappa, Zarbon, and (especially) Ginyu. Cooler is a particular example, given that his brother Freeza is FauxAffablyEvil.
86	** Perhaps the most affably evil villain is Perfect Cell. Despite plotting to murder the entire planet, he seems to actively like Goku and is generally friendly to anyone who hasn't given him a specific reason to want dead.
87	* [[OriginalCharacter General Harkon]], King Cold's second in command in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886818/5/Inheritance Inheritance]]'' tries to avoid sacrificing his men and when facing the Z Fighters, offers them a position in King Cold's army, citing the good pay and benefits along with the fact they'd rise in rank quickly with their power. Even when they refuse, he doesn't take it personally, admitting that he didn't expect them to accept.
88
89	[[AC: ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'']]
90	* ''Fanfic/{{Epiphany}}'': Sephiroth is still evil, but he's impeccably polite and even willing to help Aerith out...if he has nothing better to do.
91
92	[[AC: ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'']]
93	* The singer (presumably Golden Freddy) in [=MandoPony=]'s song ''Just Gold''. They speak calmly and politely, referring to you as "the Main Attraction" and saying that "your story must be told", and offering you "eternal scrapyard immunity". Not quite so charming when you remember that these guys are trying to [[spoiler: STUFF YOU INTO AN ANIMATRONIC SUIT.]].
94	** Also applies to the singer of another song by [=MandoPony=], ''Survive the Night'' (who seems to be speaking for the animatronics). They're friendly, polite, and just want you to be happy- while warning you that they'll kill you horribly if they get the chance.
95	* ''Fanfic/MikesNewGhostlyFamily'':
96	** Nightmare is a ruthless, vicious, and sadistic {{demon lord\|sAndArchdevils}} who relishes in torturing damned souls and preying on humanity's fears and black truths that they dread. While any politeness he normally displays is initially false, but when a human he confronted proves to be genuinely worthy of his respect, he will display genuine cordiality and respect in turn; such is the case with Mike Schmidt. [[spoiler:And after Mike was able to impress him with gruesome ColdBloodedTorture he performed on William Afton, especially given how dedicated Mike normally is to following the path of good, Nightmare was so impressed that he bestowed upon Mike an infernal blessing that would allow him to counter William Afton in case the murderer would ever return back, and gave him warrior's salute, the closest he displays to acknowledging someone as an equal, and even gave Mike ways to easily access him in case of need.]]
97	** Nightmarionne, one of Nightmare's demonic [[CoDragons right-hand men]] who shares his position with Nightmare Fredbear, is also a sadistic and malevolent demon who enjoys torturing damned souls. However, he's also a genuinely friendly, cheerful, and humorous guy who enjoys playing games (and not just of a "vicious, sadistic mind games" kind), to the point that he joined the ghost children in Mike Schmidt's mental world in playing a recreation of ''[[VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack Trivia Murder Party]]'', with no malicious strings attached.
98
99	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'']]
100	* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Mariko observes that two of Alan Jonah's paramilitary [[WesternTerrorists Western Terrorist]] henchmen, Tejada and Sergeant Travis, are okay people to hang around with despite their jobs and allegiance -- indeed, Tejada, though not sensitive, is shown to be very capable of VillainsOutShopping and VillainousFriendship, and Travis seems like a pretty normal person before his SanitySlippage. Mariko herself can be considered Affably Evil: she got her colleagues killed by releasing Behemoth during Ghidorah's Mass Awakening in an act of [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremism]], but she seems and acts pretty normal and genuinely sociable the rest of the time, and she firmly [[EvenEvilHasStandards draws the line]] at Jonah and his mercs' inhumane treatment of [[InhumanHuman the resurrected-as-half-a-Titan Vivienne Graham]].
101
102	[[AC: ''Literature/GoodOmens'']]
103	* Zirah from the Good Omens fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheSacredAndTheProfane'' is kind, [[StepfordSmiler always smiling]], and would kill a baby just because it was crying. [[spoiler: Even if said baby is TheAntichrist.]]
104
105	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'']]
106	* The fic ''Fanfic/HomeIsWhereTheHauntIs'' features the OC antagonist Patrick Mason, who is very polite and formal... until he loses his temper.
107
108	[[AC: ''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
109	* In the musical ''Literature/HarryPotter'' parody, ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'':
110	** Quirrell and Voldemort sing, dance, pick up girls, and watch ''Film/ShesAllThat'' in between plotting to murder Harry. Oh, and one of Voldemort's Horcruxes is [[spoiler: a Creator/ZacEfron poster]].
111	** The Dementor shown returning Quirrel's civilian clothes was also [[PunchClockVillain quite nice]].
112	** The sequel has Lucius Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge. The former avoids ''walking'' at nearly every opportunity, preferring instead to show off with [[AwesomeButImpractical increasingly complicated ballet moves]]; Umbridge comes off as an odd mixture of Southern Baptist preacher, {{yandere}}, and drill sergeant. And she's played by [[MrFanservice gorgeous]] [[AttractiveBentGender Joe Walker]] [[note]]who played Voldemort in AVPM[[/note]].
113	* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndThePortraitOfWhatLookedLikeALargePileOfAsh'', the Death Eaters, for all the narration says that they "looked bad", behave nicest out of anyone in the story and are actually kind of adorable when interacting with one another.
114	-->'''Death Eater 1:''' "I think it's okay if you like me."
115	-->'''Death Eater 2:''' "Thank you very much."
116	--> ''The first Death Eater confidently leaned forward to plant a kiss on his cheek.''
117	-->'''Death Eater 2:''' "Oh! Well done!"
118	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14043306/1/The-Guile-of-the-Traveller The Guile of the Traveller]]'''s Gellert Grindelwald speaks to his prisoners as if they'd been invited over for dinner, sends candid photos of a group of hostages to a colleague of theirs who he coerced into spying for him and spends much of his spare time singing along with Muggle music, the Andrews Sisters being a particular favorite.
119
120	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'']]
121	* Leonard from ''Roleplay/HazbinHotelLucifersFolly''. While he may be a demonic dignitary who can seriously kick your ass with his fiery blade and combat skills, he's very polite and kindly to one and doesn't hold any ill will towards his enemies per say, as he only attacks if he's ordered to.
122
123	[[AC: ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'']]
124	* The Grand Highblood of ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'' is always very civil when LeaningOnTheFourthWall, [[{{Squick}} even while subtly threatening to rape the readers to death]].
125
126	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
127	* ''Fanfic/TheNewAdventuresOfInvaderZim'' has a few examples:
128	** In contrast to Zim, Skoodge is, as Dib points out, such a nice guy that it's sometimes easy to forget that he's an alien soldier dedicated to conquering planets.
129	** Unless he's angered, Norlock is always unfailingly polite, even when he's about to kill someone.
130	** Nyx is pretty genial and happy-go-lucky for a MadBomber utterly devoted to someone like Zim. Similarly, Ying is unfailingly polite but dutifully serves as Nyx's BattleButler enforcer.
131
132	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'']]
133	* In ''FanFic/QueenOfAllOni'', Jade's personality is more or less the same even after her FaceHeelTurn, other than having fewer morals (and wanting revenge on Tohru for becoming Uncle's apprentice instead of her). For example, when she has Ozeki attack Section 13, she gives him specific orders to ''NOT'' kill anyone, and she broke the Dog Talisman to make Scruffy immortal again, for no apparent reason other than [[PetTheDog pampering her pet]]. Also, she pays the Enforcers regularly (and apparently it's a ''lot'' of money), and doesn't torture them like Shendu and Daolon Wong did, and even AFTER she gave Chow the code-name "Bonkers" for suggesting they rename one of her plans, they STILL feel that she's a better boss than Shendu (probably better than any boss they had in ''canon'' come to think about it), so much so they agree instantly on it.
134	** [[EvilSorcerer Monsieur Verde]] is also pretty affable. Though considering he's loosely based on [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Facilier]], that's to be expected.
135	** Kuro's such a nice and polite guy, you almost forget he's a demon General.
136
137	[[AC: ''Franchise/TheLionKing'']]
138	* There are a couple of examples in ''[[Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures The Lion King Adventures]]'':
139	** King Hapana seems very friendly on the outside. [[spoiler: Until you find out that he likes cutting animals open to find out how their biology works.]]
140	** Amri is very friendly towards new arrivals. But if a Pride Lander shows up, then watch out. [[spoiler: She only harbors a grudge towards the Pride Lands residents in her first story, though.]]
141
142	[[AC: ''Franchise/MassEffect'']]
143	* In ''Fanfic/{{Uplifted}}'' most of the high ranking Nazis act like this.
144
145	[[AC: ''Film/TheMatrix'']]
146	* ''Bringing Me To Life'': The albino twins who in their appearances are rather polite, as well as the twin who waves at Max after trying to shoot him and Trinity.
147
148	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
149	* In ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndNoire'', when Alec Cataldi is akumatized into [[SelfDuplication Mulitman]], he mainly uses his power to handle the various shows he was tasked to host while also spending time with [[RelatedInTheAdaptation his daughter Manon]]. Even after being exposed as an akuma, he remains polite and requests Crimson Beetle and Lady Noire to come to the studio, only wanting to take their Miraculous to uphold his deal with Monarch.
150	* ''Fanfic/LePapillonRising'' has Adrien as Papillon...but also as Adrien. He's not easy to hate.
151	* Nathaniel from ''Fanfic/MiraculousTalesOfScarletBeetleAndIkatiBlack'' remains polite and friendly as the supervillain Monarch, always kind to his kwami Nooroo and often akumatizing those that had faced injustice. Of course, [[BewareTheNiceOnes harming his friends and classmates is a good way to get on his bad side]].
152
153	[[AC: ''Anime/MyHime'']]
154	* In ''Fanfic/PerfectionIsOverrated'', [[spoiler:Meiko Moriya]] might be pretending to be Mai's friend but remains relatively courteous and polite to her after [[spoiler:Mai blows her and Bachiko's cover by realizing that they weren't friends]]. She even apologizes for being relatively familiar with someone she's just met, and goes from calling her "[[FirstNameBasis Mai]]" to calling her the more polite and formal "[[LastNameBasis Tokiha]]-[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics san]]".
155
156	[[AC: ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'']]
157	* In ''Fanfic/WalkAMileinAnothersShoes'', a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic, All for One frequently gives Izuku gifts, takes him out for dinner, and offers suggestions on how to improve his quirk while trying to convert him into a villain.
158
159	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
160	* ''Fanfic/BeyondTheWall'': The villagers are kind, friendly, peaceful ponies...[[spoiler:as long as you're not from outside the wall, for which you will be executed without hesitation, because Gaea doesn't love you, and life without Gaea's love is a torture that only death can free you from. And if you're a villager and try to go outside the wall, you will also be executed without hesitation to ensure that your body remains in the village forever and Gaea still loves you]].
161	* ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' has, naturally, canon FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy, who still keeps most of what makes her adorable in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the actual series]], even trying to talk Rarity out of donating her sister's college fund to the local ReligionOfEvil, finally giving in at Rarity's insistence. [[spoiler:And accepting the money; who do you think is a cult leader?]]
162	* Distraught from [[Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic My Brave Pony: The Movie]] has no problem holding parties and serving ice cream to the very same ponies that he plans on destroying.
163	* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' has second BigBad [[WellIntentionedExtremist Princess Gaia]][[spoiler:/[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Nightmare Whisper]]]], who is unwaveringly polite to the Mane Cast (including [[SixthRanger Trixie]]), even when they're [[ApologeticAttacker fighting]]. [[spoiler: Which is to be expected -- she ''is'' still Fluttershy, after all.]]
164	** In [[BadFuture Dark World]], Rancor, Discord's little sister, is a FriendlyEnemy towards the mane cast despite the fact she's one of Discord's CoDragons and a BloodKnight who is looking forward to her turn to fight them. She does things such as asking Rarity for her autograph (she's a fan of [[spoiler:Rarity's past life, Melody]]), commending them on their fights, and even [[spoiler:giving Apple Pie the last pages of a comic the Valeyard used in a BreakTheCutie on her, revealing it was a BittersweetEnding and not a DownerEnding]] for seemingly no other reason than to PetTheDog. And while she ''is'' vicious when she actually fights them, she spends the majority of the fight talking to them politely. [[VillainousCrush And hitting on Spike]]. Justified as she's a PunchClockVillain who has no actual grudge towards them and is only doing this because her father told her to.
165	* In the ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'' series, we have [[spoiler: (yet again) Fluttershy! It seems that every time Fluttershy is portrayed as a villain she's depicted as this, although that's hardly surprising when you consider how she is in canon]]. To drive the point home, [[spoiler: she never even swears (whereas the others are shown to all [[SirSwearsALot curse like drunken sailors]]) not even after she snaps and becomes a chainsaw-wielding psycho]]!
166	* In ''Fanfic/CrisisEquestria'', Lord Silvertongue is extremely polite and formal with all of his employees... so long as they're on his good side. He doesn't tolerate [[YouHaveFailedMe failure]] very much, though, and has a habit of [[BadBoss brutally punishing those who fail]]. The lesson of the day: do a good job!
167	* [[TheDon The Dogfather]] from ''FanFic/DiariesOfAMadman'' prefers to be polite and well-mannered with those he encounters, despite his status as a crime lord.
168	* ''Fanfic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'' has both Lord Silverblood and Sombra, though the former [[FauxAffablyEvil loses it when Nova pushes his buttons]].
169	* [[TheDragon Princess Dinky]] from ''FanFic/BadFutureCrusaders'' is well-liked by her followers for always being pleasant and even chatting with them from time to time, despite "[[HiddenDepths the nasty rumors surrounding her]]".
170	* Fluttershy, ''again'', plays this role in ''[[FanFic/FaithAndDoubt The Abundance]]''. As one of the "Five Queens Of Harmony", she will spread true harmony all over Equestria...by brainwashing ponies into being obedient and kind, and she tries to be the most reasonable one of them all. Trixie, however, deconstructs this; Fluttershy is completely delusional and the only reason she is kind is that she doesn't want to engage in the horrible acts of the other Queens, she just sits back and watches. To Trixie, that makes her the worst one.
171	* Played for laughs, in the short FanFic series ''FanFic/EvilBelle''. Sweetie tries to sell her soul to a demon for a new demonic form, only for said demon to turn out to be a really mellow guy. Who is not even interested in her offer, and tries to explain that neither of them really has much to gain from this. Only for Sweetie to keep pestering him, until he reluctantly agrees.
172	* The human Chrysalis in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/309780/integration Integration]]'', the sequel to ''Fanfic/AftermathOfTheGames''. When the fourth guy who [[spoiler: attempted to kidnap Human Twilight]] runs and leaves his fellow Changelings behind to be captured by the police, Chrysalis doesn't punish him for aborting the mission. After [[spoiler: Adiago escapes]], she gives the two guards who were overpowered the next two days off while warning them about not failing her again. While she does blame the door guard for [[spoiler: not properly checking the I.D.]], she gives him the opportunity to make up for his mistake by [[spoiler: recapturing the siren]], but she threatens that he'll kill him and his family if he tries to run.
173	* From her appearances in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/347000/hecates-orphanage Hecate's Orphanage]]'' of the ''FanFic/BloomingMoonChronicles'', Melinda the Sky Witch could be seen as this. She even offers advice to characters like Moonflower and Thorn Blackfeather. However, she does still remain an antagonist, and many of her actions do hinder Cadence and her team.
174	* ''Fanfic/BeyondTheWall'': The villagers are kind, friendly, peaceful ponies...[[spoiler:as long as you're not from outside the wall, for which you will be executed without hesitation because Gaea doesn't love you. And if you're a villager and try to go outside the wall, you will be executed without hesitation, so that your body remains in the village forever and Gaea still loves you]].
175
176	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
177	* In ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' Doraku explains to a captured Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and Lee that A) He is a demon. B)He enslaves people and [[OurVampiresAreDifferent steals people's abilities by drinking their blood]] C) He isn't a vampire D) Would they mind telling him about the world's current situation over dinner?
178	** It should be noted he told them to try to escape over dinner too.
179	* In ''Fanfic/GenderConfusion'', it's difficult to distinguish who the bad guys really are until one of them actually goes out and commits a canon atrocity... and then you still need to remind yourself that, yes, they were the ones in the wrong.
180
181	[[AC: ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'']]
182	* Elias Dreschner from ''Fanfic/{{Kintsukuroi}}'' is always polite with his secretary, appreciates fine tea, and likes to listen to classical music while performing horrifying experiments on captured mutants. Before doing this, however, he makes a point of introducing himself to them and [[WellIntentionedExtremist explaining why their sacrifice is necessary]] to further [[CureForCancer medical research]].
183
184	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
185	* In ''Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles'', [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Yuudai Honda]] is a businessman working for the biggest crime lord in the city [[spoiler:who wants to turn everyone into mindless husks]], yet he's always friendly and rarely actively malicious. It helps that he has a genuine desire to see the city improve.
186
187	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
188	* In ''Fanfic/{{Ancienverse}}'', Dalton tends to treat Ash and Seamus quite kindly when he's not trying to kill them.
189	* ''FanFic/BraveNewWorld'':
190	** Admittedly, while Tarantulas may seem like a total psycho, he does have the occasional gentlemanly side with the patients he's horribly mutilated. It's mostly based on his mood.
191	** [[BigBad Oblivion's Shadow]] also has shades of this. He's fairly notable as being the most polite, well-mannered, and reserved person in the entire series. He's fairly comparable to Deoxys from Latias' Journey, except [[spoiler: that he has shades of being a WellIntentionedExtremist.]]
192	** Barbedo is, unusually for this trope, not an antagonist; he was the most vicious and monstrous pirate to ever live, and he got worse after he and his crew were [[CursedWithAwesome cursed with immortality]]. To everybody's surprise, Barbedo's friendly enough to Team Aurabolt when they meet him, [[spoiler: handing over the Star Badge animating him without any fuss, agrees to a fight for his ship and takes his defeat to Tiny in a drinking contest with good humor.]] He's unapologetically brutal and loves being the worst sort of pirate, but his friendly demeanor and fondness for his [[TrueCompanions crewmates]] make him likable in spite of that.
193	** [[spoiler: If you can get past the fact that Ford is a sinister creature who has taken fighters and been draining their powers over the course of years]], he's really nice and charming.
194
195	[[AC: ''Franchise/PowerRangers'']]
196	* Drake, leader of the Ouroboros Society from ''FanFic/PowerRangersGPX'' [=SIU=]. Very polite and praises the Rangers, calling them a WorthyOpponent, but is still up to something...
197
198	[[AC: ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'']]
199	* Proctor of ''FanFic/BoyScoutsOneHalf'' is genuinely kind and friendly, but because he is Justy's loyal servant, he always ends up on the opposing side of the main characters.
200
201	[[AC: ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
202	* ''FanFic/ARabbitAmongWolves'':
203	** When not engaging in violence, many of the White Fang's soldiers are quite amicable toward each other. It's hard not to fall into this when [[AxCrazy Adam]] [[PersonAsVerb is a standard]].
204	** Sienna Kahn can also be polite to those who are respectful in return, provided they also get results too.
205	** After accidentally killing Adam, Jaune develops this reputation InUniverse. People see his genuinely pleasant demeanor and acts of charity as tools to manipulate the public.
206	* ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora'': Corbin Branwen is the leader of a BanditClan, but he held his wife’s hand while she was in labor, was heartbroken by her DeathByChildbirth, and seemed to have been a kind father to his children, even if he wanted them to continue the Branwen tradition. None of this stopped [[spoiler: [[TheSociopath Raven]] from killing him to take control of the tribe from him.]]
207	* ''FanFic/AuntSalem''.
208	** Nora and Ren [[AdaptationalVillainy become Salem's loyal followers]]. While they are their hyperactive and stoically respectful selves respectively, they are perfectly prepared to commit any atrocity to defend the Cult of Salem.
209	** Salem is portrayed as a genuinely loving family woman with a deep affection for the Arc family, but she's still the Queen of Grimm who is not to be trifled with, as Cinder finds out.
210	** Vernal is a ruthless bandit but is a [[LimaSyndrome pretty friendly captor]] to Jaune.
211	* ''FanFic/ServiceWithASmile'': Vale's criminal underground, as it turns out, [[NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters can be very polite and genial to people they like]]. Jaune, having opened an excellent café with excellent service, manages to get on their good side. Even Cinder is very polite and appreciative to Jaune- [[DeconstructedTrope but she will still not hesitate to kill him if he gets her in a way]].
212	* ''FanFic/WhiteSheepRWBY'': [[BigBad Salem]], Cinder, and the rest of her minions, while still antagonistic, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy are more genuinely friendly and polite than in canon]]. [[spoiler: Pyrrha is taken aback when Salem's "evil plans" involve giving her a decent lunch and sharing with her Jaune's baby pictures]].
213	* ''FanFic/WarOfRemnantARWBYAnthology'':
214	** Cinder, thanks to some AdaptationalNiceGuy, is far more polite and mature, being a BenevolentBoss to Emerald and Mercury and being a loving girlfriend to Emerald.
215	** Emerald herself is friendly and chatty with the Beacon students and dislikes Mercury’s {{jerkass}} attitude towards them and others.
216	** Neo lacks her smugness and sadism from canon and allows Weiss and Blake to pass when Yang offers to fight in their place on the train during the Breach.
217
218	[[AC: ''Manga/SailorMoon'']]
219	* Queen Beryl is this in ''Fanfic/BeautifulDestroyerSailorMoon''. The first time we see her, she's messing with a tablet PC dressed like it's Casual Friday at the office, talking about running the Dark Kingdom like it's a business conglomerate. She's not even very disagreeable about how Jadeite's operation in Japan has been royally screwed over so much. Immediately after her meeting with Jadeite, she remembers she hasn't had sex in forever, then decides to go out for the night and get laid after prodding her Youma court for a bit of encouragement.
220
221	[[AC: ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'']]
222	* [[TheDragon Sebastian Moran]] is portrayed this way in [[http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/14213.html?thread=80649605 this]] ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' fanfic. When he isn't acting as Moriarty's hired gun, Moran's a friendly guy who's nice to little old ladies and likes dogs.
223
224	[[AC: ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'']]
225	* Speaking of [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Colonel Sebastian Moran]]...
226	** Presented as FauxAffablyEvil in ''Fanfic/TheGhostMap'' and ''Fanfic/AStudyInRegret'', in both cases as he's speaking with/gloating over [[DistressedDude Holmes]].
227	** Given more screentime and made a bit more complicated in ''[[Fanfic/DeliverUsFromEvilSeries Mortality]]''. He's a VillainWithGoodPublicity [[EvenEvilHasStandards as well as Standards]] ([[RefugeInAudacity and can even]] [[GentlemanSnarker snark at]] [[BigBad his boss, Professor Moriarty]].
228
229	[[AC: ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
230	* A few are present in ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones''
231	** Samuel Harrington is by far the most honourable of the Solvers. Though he is a no-nonsense sellsword who WouldHurtAChild without hesitating, he only reacts in such a way when provoked and later reveals himself to have plenty of sympathetic traits, from his tragic backstory, to his surprisingly firm sense of honour. [[spoiler:His eventual HeelFaceTurn is a logical consequence to this.]]
232	** The Burned Man is affable to such a degree that it is debatable if he even qualifies as evil at all. Of course, he still is an unrepentant criminal, although his methods are noted to be fairly reasonable and his ultimate goal is considered noble by many characters.
233
234	[[AC: ''Franchise/StarWars'']]
235	* In ''Fanfic/DarthVaderHeroOfNaboo'', Darth Plagueis [[ZigZaggedTrope flip-flops]] between this and FauxAffablyEvil, depending on whom he's speaking to. Vader is caught off-guard by just how likable the guy is.
236	* ''Fanfic/TarkinsFist'': Admiral Aveo Yos, the commanding officer of Tarkin's Fist, is a stern, but fair commander who earns the respect of the men and women under his command. He is friendly with members of his immediate command staff and is a doting father to his daughter Phasma. The Imperial task force he finds himself responsible for requires a large amount of manual labor to establish its infrastructure, industry, and agricultural base on Mars; without which they will not survive without backsliding technologically. Yos's solution? Start a war with Earth, killing billions, taking millions as slaves to build the new Imperial economy. So far as Yos is concerned the lives of people outside the Empire are of no matter. Conquering the Earth removes a potential rival and helps with their labor shortage.
237
238	[[AC: ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'']]
239	* [[spoiler: Dimentio]] in ''FanFic/ClashOfTheElements''
240
241	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'']]
242	* ''FanFic/JewelOfDarkness'': [[PsychoForHire Guerra]] is a pretty friendly person when he's not hired to fight you, and he tends to be rather polite, complimenting people he views as putting up a good fight.
243
244	[[AC: ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'']]
245	* In ''Fanfic/BlackWingsBlackSails'', William Laurence comes to be known as the "Gentleman Pirate", thanks to his respectable clothes and rumors that he's the son of some noble. Less well-known is the fact that he's unfailingly polite at all times, even when he calmly slits a slaver's throat- the same slaver from ''Empire of Ivory'' who would have gone on to [[spoiler:sue Laurence for £10,000 in canon for cutting his slaves loose]] -which serves only to make him all the more terrifying.
246
247	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
248	* For all their virtues, the protagonists of ''FanFic/CentreOfAttention'' are a criminal gang. Played straightest with Gwen, who quits committing crimes once she has the money to attend art college.
249
250	[[AC: ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'']]
251	* ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'''s lower-ranking Volturi are all like this. The worst is Jane, who is best defined as amoral--if she hits you with her power, then she looks at you funny if you scream.
252	* In [[FanFic/{{TheNotSoShortSecondLifeOfBreeTanner}} The (Not So) Short Second Life of Bree Tanner]] and its companion piece, ''Ashes through an Hourglass'', Alec from the Volturi comes across as charming, insightful, and sympathetic, without betraying his more villainous tendencies like manipulating Bree, showing a general indifference to human life, and casually plotting and rationalizing murder.
253	** The larger portion of reader reviews consider Alec not just amusing and appealing but actually ''persuasive'' in his outlook on being a vampire, which is almost always in stark contrast to the noble ideals and humane lifestyle of the Cullen family.
254
255	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'']]
256	* In ''Fanfic/TurningRedSecretsOfThePanda'', unlike Jason, Howard Mitchell's kindness is actually genuine, and prefers talking as opposed to violence to get information from people. He also rarely lies to anyone (with the only exception being when he masquerades as Xia's assistant), as shown when he tells Abby that he won't harm Mei unless he has to.
257
258	[[AC: ''Literature/WarriorCats'']]
259	* ''Blog/BetterBonesAU'': Silverhawk is a genuinely nice cat, contrasting with the rest of Thistleclaw's clique, but he still ended up in [[{{Hell}} the Dark Forest]] for a reason and is a willing supporter of Thistleclaw and [[BigBad Tigerstar]], both of whom have [[ANaziByAnyOtherName ruthless political ideologies]] and want to take over the Clans.
260
261	[[AC: ''Literature/{{Worm}}'']]
262	* ''Fanfic/ATaleOfTransmigration'': Rune, despite being a Nazi, is a frequent poster on PHO who enjoys taking selfies and posting them for people to see.
263	* ''Fanfic/ADarkerPath'': Atropos, the most terrifying killer in Brockton Bay, is downright bubbly and forthcoming on PHO, and even meets up with a fan for selfies in the park.
264
265	[[AC: Other]]
266	* Kyrio Streika, from New Dawn. He is always polite, always serene, never once raises his voice or even curses. He is always friendly and even helpful to Matthew and company, which makes sense, given Matthew is his son. He is a devoted family man, despite having [[FakingTheDead difficulties]] that he came across during his [[ProfessionalKiller occupation of choice.]] He also happens to be rather like Sousuke Aizen in several ways, including being very disturbingly violent in contrast to his eloquent words and actions, and having plans within plans, effortlessly manipulating most everyone he comes across and killing the rest, [[KnightTemplarParent all for the good of his dear son]].
267	* ''FanFic/GravityFallsRule63'': Bonnie Gleeful. She's a very sweet lady, even when she's killing you with her own two hands.
268	* ''Doli Incapax Horse Lawyer'': The killer [[spoiler: Sugary Sweet]] is cute and affectionate to just about everyone around them, calling them by terms of endearment. They never get angry and show genuine concern for the third party who ends up getting suspected of the murder and try to get them declared innocent while still hiding their own guilt.
269	* ''Fanfic/SymposiumOfSupremacy'': Mammon is a golden dragon in a business suit who acts chummy around Zarc and is willing to shell out money to a dying school out of amusement. He's also one of eight powerful Devils who has enough power to crush Zarc into paste.
