She thought of herself as whole-heartedly in love with her God, who happened to desire dominance and complete obedience from everybody. She knew her actions weren't "good," but they were necessary and right, and therefore she was at ease with herself.<br><br>As a player, a "good" character is really only interesting if he's surrounded by fuzzy good, chaotic, or evil characters. A party full of good characters is just dull. I enjoyed playing an Evil character, though, like Cole mentioned, she didn't actually think of herself as Evil.

As a player, a “good” character is really only interesting if he's surrounded by fuzzy good, chaotic, or evil characters. A party full of good characters is just dull.

Well, his justification was that they had pissed him off and he was just the kind of guy that would and could kill, so he went ahead and did it.

My view is that everyone has a explanation for acting the way they do. I had a player who had the bloodthristy edge from Savage Worlds. He played that edge to the max, but even he had an explanation for his actions and wasn't considered "evil" in the way the setting prescribed it. None of my characters ever saw themselves as evil.
