Line 3:
** Most of the humans (and part-human Celeste) in ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' are more Cynical than [[Furry Fandom|their furry counterparts]].
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' has eight main characters which allows them to run the gamut of the scale. However, [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Susan]] is firmly cynical and [[Chivalrous Pervert|Tedd]] is probably the most idealistic. Which makes their [[Odd Friendship]] what it is.
* In ''[[City of Reality]]'' the titular city is so firmly embedded into "idealistic" end of the scale, it's actually [http://cityofreality.com/2009/08/01/01-01-monsters/ kind of creepy]{{broken link}}, to the point that you might think of it as a [[Deconstruction]] of the concept itself. In fact, it's even noticed by some of the characters, and made into part of the plot. Later, however, they face inhabitants of the [[Alternate Universe|other worlds in the universe]], which tend far towards the opposite end of the scale, showing them just what they're fighting for. And ''against'', as their main opponents for Chapter Five turn out to be some of their own people, turned [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] as they attempt to protect Reality's way of life at any cost.
* ''[[Chess Piece]]'' is somewhere in the middle, veering either way, though characters themselves range from idealistic (Vlad, Kwan, Diligence) to in the middle (Sam, Doug, Skulker) to cynical (Doug again, Danny, Abe).
* In the first campaign of ''[[Darths and Droids]]'', pretty much everyone (including the Game Master) are cynical and dangerously [[Genre Savvy]]. Annie (playing Anakin) changes that and wins points for the effort, but by the time the second campaign started rolling they've all been [[Incredibly Lame Pun|lured to the "dark side" of cynicism]].
