THE 'CORRUPTED CHOSEN ONE'
A trope that involves the classic narrative of a foretold saviour, one that has been singled out by prophecy or destiny, with the intention to bring peace and liberation, but the very forces that elevate them also isolate and distort them. Whether it's overwhelming power, deep personal loss, or the desire for freedom, they fulfil their role in a way that becomes catastrophic. This trope is marked by the character often believing they are still saving the world.
