Kingdom of Knuffel

I like characters who have reasons. Who are evil from one perspective, but very good from another. they're more balanced and interesting, methinks.
One of my favourites is Lady Eboshi in Princess Mononoke. She cuts down to forest, ruins nature and kills gods, but her enlightenment ideals are a saviour from a anthropocentric perspective. She gives prostitutes a second life, she gives lepers a place to live and a job to do, and she protects her people.
What great character building!

The thing is, you can probably do things for merit and the general merit of your community without necessarily loving anyone and being compassionate. But you're generally right I think, people who have no love are more likely to be dispassionate.
The problem is the other way around.... There are those character who have too much love for someone and can do evil because of it? Sociopath with a single attachment, perhaps.

Somehow managed to get a comic page out even though I did work, and wrote most of a conference paper! yay.

Ahaha, is Sigsworth's nickname Sig? His first name is William :)

ml - I know of Onizuka but don't read it. Maybe I should try it if you recommend it?

Hino - That sounds... complicated.

I think Sig is a good nickname for him.

I really liked Magic Knight Rayearth..though I don't really remember it much now.
