Line 38:
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]/[[Token Good Teammate]]
* [[Zombie Infectee]], sometimes the main cause of the division

Line 126 ⟶ 129:
* A subversion of the villainous version happens in ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' - Burton Harris/Ken Lawson plays off the paranoia and reservations of a group of students hanging out in a cottage in order to get the entire uneasy alliance to dissolve. Burton/Ken wasn't exactly a villain though, just a [[Jerkass|dick]] who thought that the place was too crowded.
* [[One Hundred Yard Stare]]: Episode four sees the girls turning into this trope.
* In ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' lore, the [[Religion of Evil|Church of the Broken God]] has three major factions. "The Broken Church" is the oldest faction; they concentrate fully on the goal of recovering the sundered parts of their goddess and repairing her so that she can turn all of humanity into [[Mechanical Lifeforms]], their view of perfection. The newer Cogwork Orthodox Church focuses more on assimilating themselves into this view of perfection, using [[Steampunk]] and [[Clock Punk]] technology. The even newer Church of Maxwellism uses computers, the internet, and [[Techno Wizard| techno-magic]] to achieve their goals. While all three factions share the goal of repairing their god and opposing their enemies the Sarkites, they suffer from rivalry and infighting frequently. It is indeed ironic that the Church of the Broken God is themselves a broken entity.
** Fortunately, the Sarkites (who most will attest is the greater evil) have this problem too. All of them share the goal of achieving the apotheosis of humanity through study of decay, disease, and manipulation of organic material, they have two rivaling factions. The proto-Sarkites are mostly lower-class [[Evil Luddite|technophobic folk]] who believe in humility and self-sacrifice of the individual (in favor of the majority) to achieve the cult’s overall goals. They revere Grand Carthis Eon (the founder of the Sarkites, who they claim achieved godhood) as a type of [[Dark Messiah]] who will lead mankind to their apotheosis. The neo-Sarkites [[Upper Class Twit|are rich members of the world elite]], politicians and industrialists, who focus more on using their wealth and skills to manipulate and sacrifice others, plus not as technophobic. They believe that in order to gain apotheosis they have to steal the power from Eon, and ultimately from Yaldabaoth. These two factions don’t like each at all, but then, nobody else likes them either.
