* The character willingly abandons their previous life and physical form in order to [[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence|ascend to a higher plane of existence]].
* The character [[You Kill It, You Bought It|killed the previous incarnation of the abstract concept]], so they must take its place as an [[Anthropomorphic Personification]].
* The character obtains this in a metaphorical sense through purity of action. For example, a [[Big Bad]] is so evil and so spiteful that it becomes [[As Long As There Is Evil|a being of pure hate]].
 
Line 64:
* In the ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' episode, "[[wikipedia:Skin of Evil|Skin of Evil]]", after [[Ascending to A Higher Plane of Existence]], an alien race left behind Armus, a [[Anthropomorphic Personification|personification]] [[Made of Evil|of the evil]] of their former existence.
* In ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]: [[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Voyager]]'', Kes essentially does this in "[[wikipedia:The Gift (Star Trek: Voyager)|The Gift]]" when she [[Put On a Bus|leaves the crew]], but not before giving the morales of her crewmates a literal boost by sending Voyager nearly 10,000 light years closer to home.
* There's a [[Doctor Who (TV)/Fridge|theory in the Doctor Who fandom]] since they utilised a variation on the myth of Pandora's Box in the form of the Pandorica -all the dark and scary things that were let ''out'' of the box were represented by the Doctor. Pandora herself can be symbolised by Amy, and the person who [[Unbroken Vigil|remained with the box for ''over two thousand years'']] was Rory: hope. At the very least he was elevated to a mythical figure.
** But this Pandora's Box was being used by the [[Evil Alliance]], so it makes sense that what was being let out of the box is considered evil and scary ''to them'' - ie. good to everyone else including the viewers.
