Well, I remember this board had-a very long time ago-a thread where you inverted the alignments of your favorite characters from media and give a basic idea of how they would act.
For example, Gil Grissom, if evil, would act like a combination of a mad scientist and a corrupt cop, becoming a cold, unflinching force of heartless law that views perps as mere test subjects that are guilty until proven innocent.
For my own actual entry, I'll do this to some of the baddies from Metal Gear Solid-some, because I'm not sure about the alignment of many of them.
Psycho Mantis: In this scenario, Mantis had a halfway decent upbringing, and as a result, turned out a lot less screwed up. He still wears a mask to control his powers, but he takes it off in the presence of people he trusts-since he knows what they think will only be mildly squicky to him. He hates using his abilities to control minds, but really doesn't see the point in not reading them-he is a soldier looking for intel after all.
Gray Fox: Fox joined the army as an adult, volunteering for the Perfect Soldier project. As Null, he was allowed to keep his memories by the Philosophers, acting far more human then in the main canon. He sacrificed himself to save Solid Snake, although he was later rescued and put in the Cyborg Ninja suit. He went on to assist Solid Snake in neutralizing Metal Gear in Shadow Moses, although he died for good when REX stomped on him.
Vulcan Raven, Sniper Wolf, Decoy Octopus:....Read the Last Days of FOXHOUND, and imagine what would happen if the always acted like that.
