Fallen Hero: Difference between revisions

Not all [[Villain]]s are born. Some are made, and none are more [[Tragedy|tragic]] than the '''Fallen Hero'''. As the name implies, the '''Fallen Hero''' used to be a [[Heroes|Hero]] before doing a [[Face Heel Turn]]. They may even have been an [[Ideal Hero]] or another equally optimistic [[Archetypal Character|archetype]], up until the moment when they [[Trauma Conga Line|suffered]] [[Freudian Excuse|something bad enough]] for them to [[Despair Event Horizon|lose all faith in good and idealism]], be it [[Dead Little Sister|the loss of a loved one]], too many [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|good deeds]] coming back [[Being Good Sucks|to bite them hard]], [[Et Tu, Brute?|betrayal]] by [[Big Bad Friend|someone they trusted the most]], too much [[Divided We Fall|distrust from those who should have been allies]], or some other faith-shattering event. It might even be a drawn out process of seduction to [[The Dark Side]] or fall from grace.
