[UA] Wicked man.

[Simon Jones]

The wicked man would make a good archtype. Someone who does wickedness for the sake of doing wickedness, wickedness being evils more theatrical cousin. It's the path of social transgression and depravity, for the depraved rather than the psychotic.

 Where once the wicked man was all but dickensian, all mustache twirling and orphanage forclosing, he's been changing over the years, stuck in a kind of twilight with the changing of what actually consititues the boundaries wickedness and transgressive behaviour and such concepts as moral relativism have made it more and more difficult to advance upon the path. More and more of it's aware avatars are finding lines even they can't cross, coupled with victorian imagery that the archtype endengers has lead to the path needing to have some sort of paradigm shift to remain viable

I guess the avatar channels could have something to do with the odd charisma being a cheerfully depraved bastard gives you, coupled with a trickster like channel that aids them in their villainy.

  When I was growing up, the big murder scandal in Davenport was James Klint. He allegedly killed his wife, chopped her up with a chainsaw, dumped her torso in the Mississippi river and tried to puree her more identifying bits in a blender. When the blender failed to perform to his satisfaction, he tried to return it, telling the store manager, "My wife didn't like it."

  One of my high school English teachers bought a James Klint tie tack at auction. (That is, a tie tack that had been owned by James Klint.) I believe he wrote a poem about it. (The teacher, that is.)
