* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'':
** Hokuto Kaneshiro is depicted as such here. During his screen time, he effortlessly manipulates Tsukune and his group, fooling them into believing he's on their side until he reveals that he personally orchestrated Kuyou's attack on Yokai Academy as a distraction so he could steal an ArtifactOfDoom from the school; in the final chapter of Act III, he shows little to no reaction when Kiria, whom he had a VillainousFriendship with, is killed, stating that this simply proves that he was right and Kiria's plan was [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption doomed from the start]]. On top of it all, the entire extent of his plan is to bring back Alucard and then just sit back and watch as Alucard destroys the planet because [[StrawNihilist he's convinced that all life, human and monster alike, is an evil and meaningless plague]] that needs to be wiped out.
** The original Falla Cii has shades of this. Intelligent and manipulative? Check; she managed to easily manipulate Kyouko and ultimately trick Tsukune's group, who know from what Falla's [[CainAndAbel good sister]] Luna told them that Falla is a heartless bitch, into thinking she wants to be come a good person? Complete LackOfEmpathy and moral conscience? Check; Falla went so far as to send her own little sister Complica to her death ForTheEvulz, and later outright admitted to Luna and their mother that she viewed Complica as a disgrace to their species and she's ''happy'' that her younger sister is dead. On top of it all, she comes right out and says that ''nothing'' matters to her more than herself and power, not even her own family, and goes so far as to ''mock'' Tsukune and co. for ever believing that she would "choose family over power."

* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'' (''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'') & (''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''): Rodger Maxwell the Governor of Connecticut. He is portrayed as a massive {{Jerkass}} and a morally bankrupt character, seeing as he had 33 superhuman teenagers of varying ages kidnapped from on their way to summer camp to be put into a literal death game at gun point for his sick kicks and [[FantasticRacism hatred toward those with powers]], after barely a day after [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent Quirks came into existence]]. Not only that, but he did so with the expressed intention of wiping all of the super-powered kids off of the map, having [[ILied lied]] about letting the winners go alive with their prize money. He is very open about his hatred for them while thinking over his EvilPlan in making Luz [[PowerParasite take all of the powers]] of those in Connecticut while contained in the forest, [[WouldHurtAChild before then bombing the area with Luz inside]].

** Just like in canon [[SociopathicSolider Luciano Bradley]] is every bit as depraved as we was in canon, a psychopath who joined up with the army to kill as many people as he wanted without consequences, enjoys in antagonizing his allies and attacking them if the opportunity arises, he even participates in the SAZ massacre without a second thought. Its little wonder why everyone would think he would fit right alongside with Airachnid.

**[[ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire Airachnid]] is every bit as deprived as she was in canon. She enjoys hunting, murdering and butchering people as a pastime, as shown by what she did in the Shinjuku ghetto. Telling everyone she encounters from enemies and allies that she only joined Megatron’s cause was so she could indulge herself in torturing whatever victims she can get her hands on. There's a reason she is considered the worst among the ranks of the Decepticons.
**Victor zi Britannia aka V.V. is an immortal [[PsychopathicManchild sadistic manchild]] who refuses to [[NeverMyFault admit fault in his own mistakes blaming everyone else for his predicament]]. When he loses what little sanity he had she shows himself to be a sadist who takes pride in his crimes, bragging about how he was responsible for Marianne’s death and crippling Nunnaly and planned to kill Optimus just to cause more pain for Lelouch.

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Amongst [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonTitansAndOtherCreatures Ghidorah's three heads]], this trope is averted by the "Youngest Brother" left head, but it's PlayedStraight by the [[MultipleHeadCase middle and right heads]], Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother. LackOfEmpathy and Devoid of Conscience? ''Oh, definitely yes''. They're not {{Consummate Liar}}s solely because they CannotTellALie (Ghidorah literally lacks a concept of lying before humanity's assimilated socio-cultural knowledge introduces it to such concepts), but Ichi and Ni ''are'' quite knowledgeable on exploiting what psychologically makes their victims tick when they need to. They have a Pathological Need for Stimulation specifically in the form of sadistically killing everything and anything they can. They have a Shallow Effect in how they have little to no emotional attachment towards each-other, their Youngest Brother or anything else. And they definitely have a Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance, demonstrated by Ghidorah's BadassBoast and by the fact they consider themselves the only true god compared to Earth's native [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]] like Godzilla.

She is shown throughout the series to only care about two things: satisfying her hedonistic desires and preserving [[VillainWithGoodPublicity her "perfect big sis" reputation]], which the narrative outright refers to as a "face" and a "mode" that she puts on for others.

* ''Fanfic/IAlwaysLovedFireworks'': This is the case of the Cyclops Killer. In the game, they were diagnosed with a brain abnormality that caused their psychopathy. This fic expands upon their childhood and how it affected them growing up. [[spoiler: Saito doesn't feel any positive emotions like love, joy, or empathy thanks to his brain dysfunction. This caused him not to understand others when he was younger. The only thing sustaining him is a need for stimulation to keep him from feeling empty all the time, which factors into making some impulsive decisions. He is noted to be charming enough to lure in victims with his good looks. He shows a blatant disregard for the concerns of others (i.e., not caring about So's protests after covering for him proves to be too costly). Once he gets into a brain that can process empathy and guilt, he is overwhelmed and distraught by it and wants to get his own body back as soon as possible.]]
