Editing Category:Fallen Characters

These characters, often referred to as "fallen heroes," "former heroes," or "heroes turned to the dark side," represent individuals who once stood as protagonists or forces of good but later succumbed to evil or became supporting antagonists. The journey from heroism to villainy is often a tragic one, marked by a thin line between good and evil. These characters, who once fought for justice and righteousness, find themselves on a path that leads them to oppose the very people they once protected or fought alongside. In some cases, their descent into darkness makes them even more malevolent than the villains they initially opposed.

The reasons behind their fall from grace vary. Some are corrupted by other villains or by dark forces, while others experience personal tragedies, relationships, or events that cause them to question the worthiness of their cause. They may lose faith in the good side, leading them to betray their friends, family, or even their country. Sometimes, this betrayal is rooted in cowardice, where the character abandons their principles in the face of fear or temptation.

These fallen heroes stand in stark contrast to "[[:Category:Reformed Characters|Reformed Characters]]," who undergo a positive transformation from evil to good. While reformed characters find redemption, fallen heroes are defined by their tragic fall into darkness, often leaving a legacy of regret and the sorrow of those they once fought to protect.
