Line 24:
* ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'': And then Souma was a [[Taken for Granite|petrified]] Orochi. He saw it coming, though, and try to use the Orochi powers contaminating his body to make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. He recovers later.
* The [[Claymore]]s who become Awakened Beings definitely qualify. Particularly galling in the case of Ophelia, as she ''really'' hates Awakened Beings, and became a Claymore to fight them. {{spoiler|And Then Cassandra, Hysteria and Roxanne Became Awakened Beings after they were resurrected.}}
* Some Yu-Gi-Oh cards have images that tell stories. One is the Gagagigo series; it starts as the Gigobyte, who wants to fight monsters... and ends with Gogiga Gagagigo, whose soul has ceased to exist and his body only moves on a drive for power. Then there's Warrior Dai Grepher; the first card of his story shows him and other warriors and spellcasters fighting demonic creatures. Then the series goes on and he becomes Dark Lucius. In Sakuretsu Armor, Dark Lucius [[LV 6]] can be seen striking down some of the people he fought alongside in that first card.▼
** Gigobyte starts down the road to [[Start of Darkness|evil soulessness]] by modifying himself to get more power to defeat the [[Big Bad|Invader of Darkness]]. Since the story is spread over the flavor texts of many cards over a few different expansions, it doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The compiled story is [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Trivia:Gagagigo here] if you're interested.▼
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' gives us Karn, a golem created to fight the Phyrexians. But his heart was a Phyrexian stone, normally used for insta-[[You Have Failed Me...]]. This stone contained, like all artifacts of Phyrexian origin, [[From a Single Cell|the oil]], which took hold on Mirrodin. Karn [[Subverted Trope|almost gave in]] to the Praetors' whispers.▼
** The Innistrad Block has a fetish for these, and with good reason, as the story line has nearly all monstruousities coming from mankind. In particular, "church warrior becomes zombie" seems to be very popular.▼
Line 128 ⟶ 121:
* Subverted in [[The Whispering Vault]]: People who investigate the [[Eldritch Abomination|Unbidden]] and survive tend to be turned into [[Humanoid Abomination|Stalkers]]...but given how a Stalker's entire purpose is to [[Dark Is Not Evil|protect reality from Unbidden and retain most of their human personality]], this comes off more as a transhumanist reward.
* In ''[[Birthright]]'' killing one of the Blooded, especially those who didn't proclaim a heir, [[You Kill It, You Bought It|spills their power to be "inherited" by anyone in the vicinity]], and specifically to the killer if killed with a special weapon or by stabbing through the heart. A bloodline acquired in any way may dominate equal or weaker one, and bloodline of Azrai that tend to twist people into Awnsheghlien ("blood abominations") is more "sticky" than the rest. An Awnsheghlien usually collects reputation as a serious threat pretty quickly, but - three guesses as to why they are so hard to eradicate.
