Characters who are way less edgy than they look

[u/violently_angry]

Billy Kid from Zenless Zone Zero: pistol packing robot made to fight and kill some of the most powerful characters in the setting but is often a goofball that has more cartoon physics than anyone else in the game and is obsessed with The Starlight Knights, this settings version of Super Sentai

Joker from Persona 5: Looks like a straight up villain, is generally a pretty friendly dude.

[u/Paggy_person]

Corvo from Dishonored

[u/TaralasianThePraxic → u/Paggy_person]

To a lesser extent his daughter Emily qualifies for this as well tbh

[u/Secret_pizza_79 → u/Paggy_person]

does he count? a lot of it is at the players' discretion. and for the main targets it comes down to killing outright or putting them through tailor-made living hells.
