Your character has turned EVIL (Or in the case of some... just antagonistic. I'm looking at you Yui)!

What are the hows and whys and the circumstances of the betrayal? Do they pilot a new mecha? Do they form a new faction? Are they more competent/incompetent?

Additionally, what sort of Villain type are they? Evil Overlord? The Schemer? Mad Scientist?

Ooh, boy, this is going to be hard. And fun.

Evil Sora really only happens if one of her teammates gets gravely injured or (more likely) killed, and will result in her spiriting away as many of the people she actually likes as will come (willingly or with a fair amount of coercion), and going on a vigilante justice spree, destroying every faction that's ever so much as looked at her girls the wrong way, in a misguided attempt to protect them from the evils of the world. Yes, this will likely include the Chalice at some point; yes, there will be drama. No, there will not be mercy. She will most assuredly snap in the process of all this, corrupting her unit into some dark approximation of itself, and trading rational thought for lots and lots of power. Think Gasai Yuno with actual weaponry, and you're there.

Some kind of dark Chrono would decide that Earth is no longer worth trying to help, and concludes that the best way to protect the planet from itself is to take over. He'll then proceed to start a full military intervention against the entire planet until everything stops trying to resist, setting up or installing some kind of world government (or perhaps restoring the UN somehow), and forcing said world government to become a Bureau signatory party, giving the TSAB control to enforce order as it sees fit. Because enough people have died in this farce of a war. He will be willing to consider the Chalice as the aforementioned world government, by virtue of there being a number of, if not sane, at least reasonable people aboard. Ironically, he probably won't get a new Device, because the Bureau doesn't want him in combat anymore in the first place, and are making this his last mission before installing him as ambassador to Earth. (Which, a few years into the position, will probably result in a promotion to admiral and a new Device.)

Jukai and Simon... don't really have a capacity to snap like that, honestly. Jukai has other things to worry about that will never really resolve themselves, and Simon kinda has someone else's dark side sneak up on him in canon, and resolves never to let it happen. Aside from, y'know, when that one mission happens in about four TTGL missions from now and he kinda goes emo for a few episodes.

Will... is interesting. He's already going through his older sister trying to subjugate an entire small population, so he's going to need a serious push to really turn bad. It'd probably only happen if the rest of the Timeless can't be made to see reason, and would likely end in all-out war between Will and Iris, with the remaining Espers of the world at stake. And depending on who wins... from there, it could turn into a bloody campaign of conquest, with the world as the ultimate prize.

Of my characters, only one really has the capability to turn evil so to say.

Pit is basically incapable of evil. At all. Hell, in his own canon he got cloned with a mirror supposed to create evil clones, and the most it managed out of Pit was to create a rude hero trying to look selfish.

As for Samus, let's just say. In the myriad of universes born out billions of little divergences and changes, there are millions of different things. But there is not one where Samus Aran as she is now has given up and turned dark.

Palutena, however... yeah, it might surprise some but she could turn evil really, really easily. She's been putting up with humans for thousands of years, and while she's the most pro-human of the gods, the fact is that "most pro-human of the gods" just means "more pro-human than a bunch of guys whose opinion of humans oscillates between death-deserving pests and fun to blow up". It would be distressingly easy to push her over the edge and turn her into an evil overlord bent on conquering the world, either for our own good or plain to exterminate most of us for being unworthy, if Pit ever was missing from her side. So basically, it's a pretty good thing the kid is so damn hard to kill.

Samus can't turn dark, but can she turn FAIL?

CoughcoughotherMcough.

[can_not_fly]

I did say "as she is now".

Fail Samus with no Chozo parents and no training and no experience and no self-sufficency and no independence and no exploits (that is, Other M Samus) might turn evil if the males in her life tell her she should do so.

Laura's already been an antagonist once, but that's already known at this point. There's no difference between canon Alpha!Laura and an evil Laura.

There should be some materials and fan-comics about how Nanoha would be if she turned evil. She did say she was a little demonic, after all.

And that's about all I'm allowed to say.

Evil Zero is Medic from TF2

Resnick is already too morally grey to turn evil. He'd just be a different kind of morally grey.

Evil Aracne would be Kerrigan.

Yui's interesting, as she probably requires more effort than most characters to make evil. You need to fulfill two criteria: Madeline must be hurt in such a fashion that she cannot hold Yui back, and Yui must obtain seriously baller power, enough to where she no longer feels she has to act human. Then? She becomes Masaki Kihara. However, at no point would she permanently cripple the White Chalice and co-she'd mostly just float about, doing horrible, unspeakable things to various civilians, and generally trolling the white chalice. One day she's raping people, another day she's offering sage life advice and comfort food.

Charlotte has things deteriorate between her and her family to the point where she doesn't see anything useful she can do besides kill people-something she is very, very good at. This happens.


Roads...I'm not sure what would have to happen to him. Probably some mind control brainwashing thing. EEEEVIL roads could wind up a lot of ways depending on things-brutally efficient cold-blooded killer, goofy yet dangerous villain, full-on mad scientist...

Haruka would take some doing, but I'm pretty sure she ends up as an evil overlord-type. With a butler!

Sayla gets some glasses, picks up a red Psycho-Gundam Mark 3, and forms Super Zeon, a highly militaristic space democracy (later dictatorship) devoted to FUCK THE ZABIS
