The Arch-Douchebag
I have a question: If I am to describe a video game caracter here, and the game he is from offers a lot of moral based choices, would describing the worst possible outcome considered cheating?
Apathy is Death. Worse than Death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds beasts and insects.
Would it be easier to classify characters under the medium that they come from AND have the entries signed?

You know, I totally agree. It's kind of ridiculous to have to look by troper when I hardly have anything to do with the community and I want to look for examples of specific characters.
CTRL + F is your friend.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I second this idea. Just CTRL + F-ing your way to finding a specific hero from a certain medium is a major pain, and I'm pretty sure more people care about the characters than the tropers making the entries.
.....
Is it OK if we paint a character that has already been painted black, but under different description? Or should we just edit that entry instead?

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I'm guessing a partial answer is "depends on the charges". i.e. If you can portray this person as an evil fiend and make your chief charge equal to or better than previous posters, then you should write your own entry. If, however, the most heinous charge has already been covered and covered well... that's a different story.
If add-ons to other entries are allowed, however, they should be signed.

Why is this still broken? We discussed this on Trope Repair Shop a while ago, but it is still broken. I think it needs separate pages for the examples, split by genre. I'll check trope repair shop about it.
I split it by Troper Name because it was far easier.
If anyone has a rather odd troper name, I'll add a Miscellaneous to it.

Is there a "paint the villain a darker shade of black" type trope? Where you maybe do something like turn a tragic, sympathetic villain into such a complete monster that it defies imagination?
