Token Good Teammates in Web Original.

  • Academy of Superheroes: Yvan Viau a.k.a. Labyrinthe of the ASH universe is canonically the token good teammate on the Conclave of Supervillains.
  • Even the rest of the Crew accept that Egg is this in AJCO — as a Lawful Good in a world of Grey-and-Gray Morality she really can't avoid it. It leads to a lot of negative feeling in the Crew when she seemingly dies, as they all agreed that she was the 'only good one of us'. invoked
    • When she leaves the role instead falls to Blue, who admittedly has more success keeping Krauzer in line than Egg ever did.
    • While none of the others are exactly evil (they're all far too ambiguous and grey for labels like that), Lartin of the Deserters is much more determined to do good than the rest. For example, he instantly takes pity on the State slave Nights and later, upon waking up to see that his home is on fire, his first thought is to find and rescue Cain.
  • Don't Hug Me I'm Scared : The Sketchpad is a jerkass but their "evil" pales in comparison to A cult member (Shrignold), A murderer(Tony the Talking Clock), A torturous sadist (The Lamp) and many others, not to mention when things get out of hand for them, they are visibly horrified.
  • In Farce of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun is the only actually nice member of The Hero's team.
  • In The Guild, despite the team name of "The Knights of Good", Codex and Vork are the only ones who seem to quest with anything but loot in mind. Then we find out how Vork gets his electricity and internet access by stealing it from his Alzheimers-afflicted neighbor. Offline Codex is the only one who isn't either self-centered or completely divorced from reality.
  • Jreg's videos have multiple of these:
    • The extremists have two:
      • In terms of politics, Ancom is depicted in the most positive light. While quee is certainly a crazed and violent maniac, quer positions are less morally objectionable than those of the other extremists. Compared to their desires for things like unchecked corporate exploitation, brutal class warfare, and even outright ethnic cleansing, Ancom wanting a society with horizontal leadership and no hierarchies is positively benign — even if quee does have some out-there ideas, like wanting to give children LSD.
      • But in terms of personality, Ancap is this. He's the most polite and least violent of all the extremists, flat-out refuses to kill his moderate counterpart despite Anti-Centrist's orders, and displays considerable angst over whether he's a good person, unlike his compatriots who either take their presumed righteousness for granted or just don't care.
    • In the Council of Wacky Ideologies, Transhumanist is presented as this. His fellow members of the council advocate for such undesirable things as the restoration of serfdom, the violent establishment of an ethnostate, an end to the use of all post-Stone Age technology, and even bringing about global communism through bio-terrorism and nuclear war. Meanwhile, he just wants to merge with technology so he can finally get "that robot dick".
    • Among the magnates of Ancapistan, Minarchist is depicted in the least negative light by far, and is used to highlight the more positive elements of his society. He talks about treating his trade partners like brothers and seems to genuinely mean it, and is visibly quite uncomfortable when he sees some poor people being forcibly shooed away.
    • Anarcho-Pacifist is depicted as the least violent and most even-tempered of the Anarchists, and expresses a desire for the abolition of the state through nonviolent means.
  • Looming Gaia: Monarch Roz Yerim-Mor is Looming Gaia's only decent current world leader. While he has his flaws, he tries his hardest to rebuild his impoverished kingdom and goes teaching magic to the poor in disguise to help them against Disgrace's forces. Given the rest of the High Rulers consist of racists, cheaters, slavers, abusers, genocidal warlords (and one former genocidal warlord who does nothing to atone for her past and tries to sweep her crimes under the rug), religious zealots, rulers who benefit from their people's suffering, a massive ableist who keeps his mentally disabled daughter locked up, a stupid and irresponsible teenager, a guy who got his wife sent to mental hospital for calling him out for cheating on her, and one who straight up has random people kidnapped and tortured to power her secret space program, it's easy to call him a saint.
  • In Magik Online among Concordia's High Command and dragons in general, the Golden Prince stands out with his strong morals is the only Minister interested in diplomatically assimilating over races into Concordia and building a working culture beyond conquest. He's also the only dragon shown to not have a superiority complex.
  • The Nostalgia Chick's Sex Bot. As he said in a twitter message, he's surrounded by screeching harpies that haunt his every moment.
    • Now that he's gone (very likely dead), Nella is back in the role of the only regular person there with a listenable conscience.
  • The Nostalgia Critic:
    • In the review of Fantastic Four, the trio gets superpowers and act like even bigger assholes than usual, so it's up to Rob to at least try and be the voice of reason.
    • When she was around, Rachel. Like how in The Shining, she's the only one who wants to help Critic when he's losing it and she gets tortured for it.
  • Pirates SMP: Aimsey is described to be one of the only nice Kites out of a faction infamous for their Blood Knight tendencies; the Recruitment Officer expresses surprise on Day 1 that they are in the faction at all.
  • TBJZL is much more behaved compared to the other Sidemen, and thus he is the least likely Sideman to troll the others. (Although, he'll still troll if he's aggravated enough.)
  • In Trapped In The Birdcage Reader is more like the token Lawful Teammate as none of the other three are actually evil, just self centered and disregarding of the law which is why Reader keeps a notebook where he records their crimes.
