The average Westerosi commits 9 war crimes per year is actually a statistical error. Tywin Lannister, who commits over 10,000 war crimes per year,

Louis Braquet, “Putrefactio”

acrylic on canvas, 2020

“In alchemy, putrefaction is the process of decomposition and rotting, often involving a blackening of the substance. It’s a crucial first step in many alchemical operations, analogous to fermentation. This stage is often associated with the nigredo (blackness) in the alchemical magnum opus.”

Gameoverse self-insert who is the Hero from a game with a morality system where choosing the 'good guy' makes the game significantly harder but, assumedly, leads to better win conditions and the best 'true ending' of the game. Except, of course, in the Gameoverse the entire world goes Alderaan and the Hero has a massive crash out because what do you mean they did everything right and for what? Nothing.

"I went on every side quest. I helped everyone who asked. I gave away money constantly. I was always polite and empathetic and non-violent whenever I could even when I REALLY didn't want to be. I gave out so many second chances! I lived for EVERYONE but myself!! All because I thought that when it was all over, I'd get a happy ending. ...How pathetic."

They join up with Syntax but are on the bottom of the food chain because they're not a 'real' Villain and get stuck doing menial gruntwork. And while they have the rage and the self-destructive nihilism thing going for them they still are acclimating to being 'evil.'

"No, no for sure we have to find the Hero and help them win. Otherwise they're never going to see the fucked up scope of the inescapably cold and indifferent universe we live in. Honestly deletion is more noble than living a lie, right? But I don't, uhm, TOTALLY see what's so funny about setting these background characters on fire..."

In her original game, a classic and mildly gritty fantasy called The Thrall of Nordoom, she was a Paladin and wielded the kind of classically overwrought Elven holy blade forged from starlight type of sword a hero would have by the final act. But as her world crumbled around her she picked up the fallen Villain's cursed weapon instead, a massive talking axe named Splitter who encourages her to day drink and fuck shit up whenever possible.
