Sliding Scale of Heroism vs Villainy; Where does your cast land.

After teetering on having Spider spontaniously appear in "Last Rites" under bull*$#& law of "Anyone with invisibility powers is Schrodinger's Character", and deciding that expanding on the Tropes list for my characters would be fun, but falling back into TV-Tropes again is dangerous. I decided to open a new thread of random thoughts... Given the fact we all have numerous characters, is there a trend to the characters we pick. Perhaps not so much in movesets as the character's morals. To that end, I decided, "why not tally up characters and see where I stand in this concept"

The concept is simple and probably needs to be refined. Just list your characters (with or without showing us the names one by one). Tally them up, and post the results.

Swordman: Hero
Wildtype: Hero
Furio Tigre: Villain
Viola Cadaverini: Villain
Concreteman: Hero
Magnetman: Hero
Snakeman: Villain
Boxerman: Bystander
Spider: Hero
Kappa: Villain
Gravity Beetle (don't count Gear, it's the same body): Hero
Multiman: Villain
Protectos the Goreroid: Villain
Argoyle and Ugoyle the Shisaroids: Villain
Takeshi Hondo: Hero
Speedy Dave: Hero

Heroes: 8
Villains: 7
???: 1

looking at this tally, I'm actually sorta suprised how close it ended up. That being said I can see from a mile away I give Heroes more attention than Villains. I really ought to get back to a few of these guys... posting in this forum again.

Hmm ...

Quint is neutral
Skullman is neutral-ish
Wreck-Gar is good
Searchman and Sting Chameleon are good guys
Gilgameth is HEROIC
General is "good" (but not nice)
Doc Robot is INSANE and murderous
The 'Cons/Wreckers are bad guys with good publicity
Antaeus, Dullahan and Corteswain are bad guys
Zeta is neutral with bad tones
Ares and Hermes are in the wrong crowd, and glad of it

Oh, and I genuinely believe Scalpel is the nicest, friendliest guy you can find around here. Except his idea of "helping friends" includes "replacing random bits of them with cooler, random-ier bits".

So, yeah, only my bad guys are really around. And the active good guys are in Repliforce.
Various death threats :

-I hAfE SoO mAnY iDeAs, I cAn'T cHooSe !
-Let's share !
-For Megatron !
-Mind if I play accordion?
-You're already dead.
-Seconded.
-Step aside, commoners !
-I-I'm new at this d-death threat stuff.
-... Huh?
-Let us write the stuff of legends !
-Bow to Alpha !

And from higer-ups :

-Crush the Alphas !
-With any chance, it won't earn you a place in my Tome of Grudges, lad.
-Pray I don't let the bloodthirsty ones handle the issue ! Gyahahahahaaa !
-Decepticons : Operation : rock.
-I, Cruellock, shall rip you apart, wot.
-It was written, and I am merely Fate's pen.

-And when they're all done, I'll make you all better !

The Altoloid: Lawful - True Neutral (Like Yuda, but instead obedient to Hyleg making him on the side of Evil)
Eta: Lawful Neutral (He has a duty to protect Upsilon, other than that though...)
Upsilon: I dOn'T kNoW! (He's too insane for me to decide)

Yamatoman: Lawful Good (Wants to teach others the ropes of fighting and follows his duties)
Sunstar: Neutral Evil (in it only for himself)
CRORQ: Lawful Evil (Wants to control all mechanical life forms, that's pretty evil no matter how much he tries to hide it)
The Consul: Neutral Evil (Feigning loyalty but wants to rule the Motherboard)
Lord Zellion "Blademan" Maloucin: Lawful Evil (Loyal to CRORQ to a T)
Sharkman: Lawful Neutral - Evil, (Technically in an evil faction, but he slacks off, makes mistakes and is dumb)
Geemel: Chaotic Evil (KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KEKEKE! He has targets he won't attack like Serpent and his partners at the Shadow Hunters, other than that though...yeah...)
Phantom: Neutral Good (Has guardian responsibilities to uphold, but sort of goes in and out on his own time)
Serges: Lawful Evil (Wanted to list him as Cranky Evil)

Queenbee: Neutral Evil (in the same boat as the Chaos King)
Dr. Gate: Lawful Evil (but nice)
Signas: Lawful Good - Neutral (Good but definitely not nice)
Nebula Grey/Uno: Chaotic Evil/Lawful Evil (He's a friggin demon who created Evil Energy after all and wants to CREATE CHAOS...DESTROY EVERYTHING! Probably my most evil character)
Hollow: Lawful Evil (Loyal to Nebula Grey)
Solo/Rogue: Used to be Neutral Evil, now Chaotic Neutral - Good (Used to be evil only for vengeance, now he's the atoner.)

Scavenger: Chaotic Evil (FEEEEEEEAAAAAAR)
Nightscream: See Xenocrates (Good guy who's captured and forced into doing evil)

Keep in mind that some of my Neutral guys may technically be in Evil/Good factions, but I was moreso taking this list into consideration, so while I think my villains might outweigh my heroes I don't really view any of them as strictly good or strictly evil (with a few exceptions of course)

So yeah. No idea if I did this right, I'm terrible at these kinds of lists. Hahah!

Ra Moon: Lawful Good (Dedicates himself to being a shining beacon to all stardroids)

Queen Virgo: Lawful Good (A loving mother dedicated to creating a better world)

Slur: Lawful Evil (Thinks that what she's doing is for the greater good)

Gospel: Chaotic Evil (Touch his mistress, and you will be torn to shreds)

Craft: Lawful Evil (Boarding on Chaotic Evil if something isn't done about his shellshock)

Mother Elf/Nyx: Neutral Good/Neutral Evil (Nyx is just and act to try and soften Weil's heart. At least, she thinks it is. She's honestly not sure...)

Fear Specter: Chaotic Evil (All he wants is for Kalinka to become his queen. Everyone else can go to Hell)

I'm sort of the opposite of Avi, in that I have a lot of heroes and not too many villains.
Snipe Anteater: Only a fool seeks answers from a bowl of oatmeal.

Generic villian: Are you calling me a fool?!

Snipe Anteater: No, a bowl of oatmeal.

This face will be lying in bed next to you.
Let's see...by my count, I've got

8 Heroes Posted Image Posted Image Posted ImagePosted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted ImagePosted Image

17 Villains Posted Image Posted Image Posted ImagePosted Image Posted Image Posted ImagePosted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

2 Fence Sitters Posted Image Posted Image

1 Villain who's not stuck doing heroic thingsPosted Image

1 Villain who doesn't want to be one Posted Image ARRRGHHH!! GRAAGGHHH! MWAARRGGH!! (It's official, my life is smack dab in the seventh circle of Hell)

So I've got twice as many villains as heroes. Not surprising, I guess. And even then, my heroes include guys like Diveman, Duo and Deathtanz Mantsk. That's super.
