Line 114:
** In the ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' there's the Refinement of Stannum in ''[[Promethean: The Created]]'', which is centered around wrath and getting revenge on the world that scorns you at every turn. Prometheans eventually draw the wrath of humanity and the suffering of nature everywhere they go, and Stannum is about focusing that wrath where it belongs. Each Refinement is a philosophy the Promethean follows during their [[To Become Human|Pilgrimage]], and the various paths usually require some careful study before you can switch over. Stannum, however, can be entered ''instantly'', and is usually entered when some Promethean goes, "Oh, ''fuck'' this shit."
*** And a step below ''that'' is the path of Centimani, the Refinement of Flux. Flux is a force of dissolution and mutation, and the Centimani themselves are focused on monstrosity rather than rebirth. Prometheans on this path have not only given up on trying to be good, they've given up on trying to be anything resembling a human.
* Tieflings in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' often go through this. While not [[Exclusively Evil]], they are often the victims of [[Fantastic Racism]] by people who assume their fiendish heritage makes them irredeemably damned. Many tieflings eventually accept such a designation and turn against society as a form of revenge.
** Oddly enough, their celestial-blooded counterparts the aasimar often end up the same, so worn down by the assumption that their inborn relation to the Upper Planes makes them paragons of virtue and justice that they wind up [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]. Such aasimar often become silver-tongued [[Snake Oil Salesman|con artists]], using their reputation to get suckers to trust them.
