* ''The Orphans''
[[folder:Nora Vas (research in progress)]]
'''What's the work?'''
The Orphans is a sci-fi podcast from a few years ago which unfortunately seems to have ended production due to the pandemic. It is set in the Collective, an interstellar government which makes use of clones as heavily oppressed salve labor. Clones are developed with special skills designated by their first names, with Nora's being natural leaders, Baz's being scientists and engineers etc. The series is an anthology following various different characters and their stories though there are some reoccurring characters such as my candidate Nora Vass.
'''Who is Nora Vass and what does she do?'''
A Nora strain clone, Vass is a uniquely ruthless and ambitious one who has gotten herself to a position of authority far higher than any other clone due to her diligence in enforcing the Collective's brutal laws towards clones. Her first appearance is in the story "Facility" where she's a behavioral analyst chief in charge of overseeing several facilities and making sure the clones working there follow the rules. She's introduced assigning a Xavier clone (a notably brutal strain of clone) to conduct inspections of the facilities and to execute anyone who is breaking the rules, with at least one facility having its entire staff killed as a result. When the inspector goes to a facility suspected of wrongdoing, he is murdered by a rogue AI which then contacts Vass and threatens to release sensitive Collective information unless she starts sending more people to the facility for it to kill, a plan Vass is only briefly reluctant to go along with before immediately sending it a batch of victims. Vass has kept this method of execution going for at least six years, even utilizing a neurotoxin that gruesomely kills then zombifies it's victims to help make the deaths looks like accidents.
During this time Vass kept rising through the ranks, executing a rebellious clone and becoming a High Admiral by using an underhanded trick to oust the clone holding that role from his position for being too soft on clones, resulting in him being "[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness decommissioned]]" coldly admitting that she would do the same to anyone else to advance her position. Vass later pops up in the story "Investigation" where she pursues a pair of rogue clones, threatening to execute a group who accidentally fed them information and when they reach the planet where the AI is, Vass betrays it by ordering it destroyed if the pair escapes. Vass' final appearance is in the story "Expose" where she is revealed to have been involved in a scheme to poison a community's water to test a chemical dispersal method, resulting in numerous ([[OffscreenVillainy offscreen]]) deaths, and threatening a pair of reporters looking into the incident.
'''Mitigating Factors'''
I didn't propose her back when the podcast was ongoing because her arc was still ongoing but with the podcast seeming to have been cut short she doesn't have any issue keeping her from counting. She's completely unrepentant about her actions and seems to be something of a BoomerangBigot towards other clones, angrily warning that clones trying to be as ambitious as her need to know their place. She has a brief moment of vulnerability when her superior threatens her (it's the only time she drops her unflappable demeanor and is genuinely scared) but the scene is more to show how ruthless said superior is rather than to really humanize Vass. Heinousness is no problem either, I got the evil AI up a while ago but Vass directly facilitates most of his crimes by feeding him victims, gets an entire facility killed, employs a horrific neurotoxin against several people, and is supporting a system that oppresses and executes her own kind in massive numbers.
'''Conclusion'''
A fairly easy keep.

Dice Funk is a D&D Podcast created and DMed by Austin Yorski this EP covers Season 5: Markov. In the world of Dice Funk the most powerful thing in existence is the World of Forms, I don't need to get into this too much but after Season 4 everyone everywhere gained a connection to the Forms and became Conduits of Forms which means they have special powers related to the Form they're connected to. This Season is a Sci-Fi one set in the far future where space travel is possible and people from the normal D&D Solar System (called Sol) have branched out and discovered alien life, they also have been in several wars with the Illithid (brain eating aliens). This season follows a group of adventurers known as the Tuff Bastards who help solve problems in the Markov system by taking jobs from Sol.

Now Cassius' has a number of moments that hint at redeeming moments but most of them are either subverted or revealed to not be mitigating. Him trading the animal for his minion is pointed out as more of a pragmatic move since she's more useful to him than the animal and him freeing his captured minions is paired with him turning them into Maxwell hybrids which has the implicit threat of suffering the same fate as the ambassador. Him wanting to help Sol is just an extension of his xenophobia and ego, with him killing several people from Sol and spending the final battle bragging about the glory he'll get from Sol for his actions. At one point he gets genuinely upset at Adler's accusation that he enjoyed killing Tenma but when he killed Adler he went out of his way to kill her the same way he killed Tenma, indicating that he'd gotten over his guilt by then.

The only thing that gives me pause is how affected he is by the time he spent in Acheron. He explains that from his perspective he was there for a very long time despite only being dead for a few seconds and Acheron is decidedly a pretty nasty CrapsackWorld of constant warring and a large part of his motivation is to get a big enough army so he wouldn't be a victim in that war. He is indicated to have had a noticeable personality change after coming back but we don't get any insight into who he was beforehand so it's unclear how much he changed. It should be noted that one of the Bastards, upon arriving in Acheron, realizes that he'll be going there when he dies and is unaffected by the realization, seeing it as a pretty fair result of his actions in life.

honestly, his overall motivation is still very selfish but he clearly is traumatized by the time he spent in Acheron and is afraid to go back.

* Colonel Cassius Pire is the xenophobic leader of Invicta who takes joy in being able to hurt whoever he pleases whenever he pleases. Years ago during the Illithid Wars Cassius’ ship crashed and he temporarily died before being brought back by Doctors Adler, and Tenma. Cassius responded by shooting Tenma and forcing Adler to either break her vow of pacifism to save him or let him die. After Tenma died Cassius kidnapped Adler and forced her to work for Invicta, forcing his minions to kill one another as punishment when she escaped. As Invicta’s leader Cassius led them in various violent crimes. Cassius later kidnapped Adler again in order to learn about the Maxwells so he could harness their power. To this end Cassius abducted and tortured several Reigar for information on the Maxwells, causing Adler to snap and try to kill him. Cassius then murdered Adler the same way he killed Tenma and then attacked the Reigar’s home in order to unleash the Maxwells, planning to wipe out the Illithids and destroy all life on the planet Gloria, knowing that everyone who he kills will be forced to fight for him eternally in Acheron. Cassius also transforms his henchmen into Maxwells and when one betrays him, he agonizingly twists her body destroys her mind.

First conquering Wormwood by draining the potential of the native Halflings and turning the entire species into feral cannibals before establishing a kingdom built on slavery and oppression of races he deems inferior and sentencing criminals to brutal GladiatorGames where the winners are drained of their potential. Wolfram extended his life by draining the potential of millions of people who slept on the salt flats, killing them and trapping their minds within the salt. Wolfram discovered that he could grant people powers with the salt at the cost of it eventually consuming their bodies and killing them, a fate he inflicts on numerous people. Desiring to expand his rule to other worlds, Wolfram sired several children with different women all of whom he mistreated, notably slaughtering the family and hometown of his latest consort when she left him and threatening his oldest son with a tortuous death when he fails him. Wolfram responds to any rebellion with torture and brutality, with even loyal citizens not being safe. Wolfram also keeps an elemental as an abused prisoner rigged to destroy his castle and the thousands within should he be overthrown. When confronted by the Wolf Pack, Wolfram psychologically torments them by forcing them to fight golems of their friends, insisting to the end that he deserves to rule over the other races.
