Line 175:
*** It's not even a Spirit of Justice anymore (though it likes to claim otherwise). It's a ''Demon of Vengeance.'' That's how badly it was corrupted.
*** Although it's implied that Justice's corruption (and his becoming a [[Knight Templar]] that [[Jumps Off the Slippery Slope]]) may not actually be Anders' fault, or at least not entirely; {{spoiler|Kirkwall is basically a city built right next to the prison that holds ''the origin of the darkspawn''. The prisoner in question can drive people insane without even being conscious and from miles away}}.
**** Kirkwall is also built on the very site of the magical ritual that originally breached the Golden City and created the darkspawn. The most epically evil mystic event that occurred in the history of the world, a cosmic blasphemy that literally ''broke Heaven'', and you're sleeping right on top of it. It's a miracle anyone can spend a week in Kirkwall without sprouting tentacles.
* ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' briefly fell into this trope in ''Crash Tag Team Racing'', numerous bonus cutscenes focusing on his [[Screwy Squirrel]] antics inside Von Clutch's Motorworld, ranging from feeding Park Drones mouldy apples to disintegrating them in rocket engines. Granted this reversed back in the following game, where he goes back to being a [[Kindhearted Simpleton]].
* Ema Skye of the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series is introduced as an aspiring forensic investigator, full of useful investigation techniques and eager to meet people in the business. However, eight years later she finds herself in a job she didn't want (detective work) after doing poorly on her forensic investigation exam and her derailed dream definitely takes its toll on her personality. The Ema of ''[[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney|Apollo Justice Ace Attorney]]'' is a sour and jaded woman who doesn't offer much help (unless she can use some of her forensic investigation techniques, at which point some of her original personality leaks out).
* Cloud does this between ''[[Crisis Core]]'', in which he's a shy, brave, and supportive person with really bad self-esteem (with some backstory about him picking fights with the people who bullied him in his hometown), and ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', in which he's a rude, cocky, reckless and obsessive person who deliberately antagonises his friends Barret and Wedge and does things like taking salary from a slum-dwelling little girl's school money. He's nicer to the girls, but also pretty sexist and won't trust them with anything on their own. He gets a lot nicer after a few hours of play, but he remains vengeance-obsessed and arrogant until his [[Heroic BSOD|entire persona implodes]] halfway through the next disk.
