The Hedonist: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

== Manga/Anime ==

* [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi Suzumiya]]. Will do anything for her own amusement, to the point where she will use Mikuru as [[Chew Toy|her personal toy]].

* Gauron from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]''. He does pretty much everything [[For the Evulz]], because he gets off on it. Even Kalinin didn't expect Gauron to be such an extreme, insane, depraved pleasure seeker. One ironically humorous moment shows Kalinin thinking to himself that, no matter what, Gauron is a smart pro that would value his life above everything else and would never do stupid things for short term pleasure. And then... a short while later, Gauron is shown [[Combat Sadomasochist|getting off on his fight with Sousuke]], which culminates in him {{spoiler|attempting to commit a double suicide with Sousuke just for the pleasure of it}}.

* The apostle Wyald from ''[[Berserk]]''. His motto is "Enjoyment and excitement!" The fact that he says this while he is {{spoiler|raping a farm girl who helped the Band of the Hawk who he and his Black Dog Knights have been hired to kill}} pretty much illustrates all we need to know about [[Complete Monster|his nature]].

* Giriko from ''[[Soul Eater]]''. He drinks in every other chapter, he's lazy as sin, and he acts touchy-feely with the teenage girl he's attempting to massacre.

Line 71:

** The (black) vampires on the plane of Zendikar are described as hedonistic. They are also, coincidentally, said to be the most advanced race on Zendikar.

** Innistrad, a [[Gothic Horror|gothic]] plane, also have vampires, though they are separated into several clans. One clan, Markov, is more hedonistic than the rest.

* [[Sense Freak|Slaanesh]] from ''[[Warhammer]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''. He- she? it?- is literally the manifestation of all the [[Squick]] in the universe, while his followers are to a psychopath in it either [[For the Evulz]] or because [[Evil Feels Good]]. Lest we find the idea of a cult of hedonists even somewhat non-threatening, remember that this is 40K and their idea of a good time probably ''starts'' with "violate your intestines through your belly button" and just goes in whatever random direction they can find from there.

* In the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' setting [[Planescape]], the Sensates are [[Sense Freak|a faction dedicated to experiencing every sensation and act that they can]] -- good as well as bad. Many members take this as an excuse to become hedonists; they are looked down on for indulging one sensation--pleasure--to the exclusion of all others, and to blinding themselves to new experiences. These members are commonly sent to a hold the Sensates have in Arborea, where they get to do nothing but blindly indulge their hedonist ways, over and over again for the rest of their lives without ever experiencing anything new (and before you ask, the door is open. Anyone sent there can leave any time they want. So far, nobody has).
