Line 32:
* Several [[Dean Koontz]] villains fit this to a T, the better to conceal their true monstrous nature and seem normal and orderly to the world. When darkness falls and the possibility of being caught is null, however, all bets are off for what they will do.
** The sadistic and arbitrary serial killer in Dean Koontz's ''Intensity'' always keeps his word, has a well-ordered and scrubbed clean house, and even paid for his purchases made at a gas-station after killing the attendant...because he is a killer, not a thief.
* Vorbis from ''[[
* [[Ian McDonald]]'s ''The Broken Land'' had a villain who drank lots of herbal tea.
* In [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s ''[[The Curse of Chalion]]'', libertine Dondo dy Jironal sets out to become influential with Teidez, the heir to the throne, via alcohol, carousing, and so on. When Dondo dies, his brother Martou, the [[Big Bad]], has some trouble dealing with Teidez, due in part to Martou's [[Straight Edge]] tendencies.
Line 49:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* Currently,{{when}} [[CM Punk]] in WWE. Notable for the fact that he won his third World Heavyweight Title this way (the first two were as a face), and has been announced, at his own insistence, as "[[Smug Straight Edge|The]] ''[[Smug Straight Edge|only]]'' [[Smug Straight Edge|straight-edged World Heavyweight Champion]]" in the WWE.
** This was his gimmick in [[Ring of Honor]] as well, complete with saying that Straight-Edge makes him drug-free, alcohol-free and better than you, even feuding with wrestlers over their past drug issues, and his breakout moment in ROH lore was a promo against Raven revolving around their... differences on intoxicants.
** And then there was his feud with [[Jeff Hardy]]; let's just say that ''those'' two guys live ''extremely'' contrasting lifestyles, and I'm not talking about Hardy's music band, either.
Line 64:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* This is the party line of Caesar's Legion in ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', which officially forbids alcohol, chems, and general "profligacy." Subverted in the case of the high-ranking Aurelius of Phoenix, whose office contains items like beer, lingerie, and "[[I'm a Humanitarian|strange meat]]"
* [[Big Bad|Bloody Mary]] from ''[[Infamous (video game series)|Infamous 2]]'' is rather upset to learn that a cocktail has been named after her, and even more upset about it being a breakfast cocktail. "When was it ever considered acceptable to drink before five in the afternoon?" she asks.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* Judge Claude Frollo in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' is a particularly brutal [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction]]
* In ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', the [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain| Toilenator]] avoids caffeine, claiming it's bad for your "regularity".
* ''[[G.I. Joe]]''. While the Dreadnaughts are known to have a thing for junk food (mostly chocolate donuts and grape soda) higher-ranking members of Cobra (including the Baroness, Destro, Tomax and Xamot) at least know enough to eat healthy,
