Line 14:
Sometimes all that stands between man and monster is a [[Single Tear]]... or even a [[Tears of Remorse|full-out weep]]. Perhaps a show of respect for the enemy. A [[Heel Realisation]] that you've gone too far is possible just as you're teetering on the edge of becoming a monstrosity - you've committed the act but you ''regret it''. Characters who regret the act that would otherwise make them cross the line effectively become [[The Atoner]]. Just as with a real black hole, the closer you come to a '''Moral Event Horizon''', the harder you must try to escape.
Can lead to a [[Complete Monster]], but crossing the '''Moral Event Horizon''' does ''not'' automatically imply or make a [[Complete Monster]]. The character can just be a bad person; the Moral Event Horizon is a black mark in their history that cannot be forgiven.
A character whom performs an act that should make them irredeemable but somehow gets away with it is a [[Karma Houdini]].
