In your honest opinion, what media character do you believe is most like OOTS character X?

The only one I can think of is Miko=Jorus C'baoth of Outbound Flight
Similarities:
* Both believe that being lawful good class X makes them better than others.
* Both act contrary to their supposed alignment, or at the very least, tread on thin ice.
* Both give into the dark side at the end of their tale.
* Both die in the end
* Both are lawful stupid, and WON'T LISTEN TO REASON!

There are others that fit the archetype- Inspector Javert from Les Miserables is often cited as having much in common with Miko.

Going off the deep end, while still believing you are in the right, is pretty common in fiction.

C'baoth's views on "how to do things" don't always fit in with the rest of the Jedi Order's- he believes Jedi should guide and command, rather than serve, and that children or even adults can make good Jedi (training them from infancy is not an absolute necessity).

Belkar and Freddy Kruegar?

hmmm... Haley and Laura Croft?

They don't have all that much in common- Freddy isn't exactly anyones "Token Evil Teammate"

Cyric in the first half of the Forgotten Realms Avatar Trilogy (Shadowdale, and part of Tantras) might fit better- though he betrays the party part way through Tantras and goes on to become a God of Murder in book 3- Waterdeep.
