Clephas Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I figured I'd put up a list of games with 'amoral protagonists' who aren't necessarily villainous by nature. An amoral protagonist can also be called a pragmatist, someone who acts solely for what he thinks is best, for the motives that drives him and doesn't consider the moral context of his actions to be relevant in considering whether to take such an action. Shigure Sora- Devils Devel Concept http://vndb.org/v1308 Asagiri Kaito- Akatsuki no Goei series http://vndb.org/v629 http://vndb.org/v1307 http://vndb.org/v3271 Phantom of Inferno http://vndb.org/v45 Sinclient http://vndb.org/v10605 Abyss- Homicide Club (though it doesn't show that much on the first route) http://vndb.org/v2537 Yurikago yori Tenshi Made http://vndb.org/v7071 Izuna Zanshinken (in the context of his own way of living, he is moral, but in the sense of traditional morality, he definitely isn't) http://vndb.org/v7070 Re: Birth Colony -lost azurite- http://vndb.org/v10642 Gekkou no Carnevale http://vndb.org/v102 Toubu Kaito- Hello, Goodbye http://vndb.org/v5316 Para-sol http://vndb.org/v3032 Wanko to Kurasou http://vndb.org/v812 Vermillion- Bind of Blood http://vndb.org/v5843 Namima no Kuni no Faust http://vndb.org/v9996 Noel http://vndb.org/v1000 Paradise Lost http://vndb.org/v1951 Incidentally, I'm not counting nukige or rapegames. In first case, the moral question is never really considered and in the second, it strays over the line into the 'villainous protagonist' area of things. Quote
Eurobeatz Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The protagonists from Saya no Uta and G-senjou no Maou also fall under this category. The protagonist from Kikokugai -The Cyber Slayer- could also fall under the category, depending on how you viewed the story. Quote
Aggressor Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Hey Clephas, nice list. Have to disagree on Izuna though. Kotarou, unlike Asagiri Kaito, definitely not doing what he wants to do. He's moved by sense of duty, "lesser evil" logic and his master orders, he definitely does his "job" as "I have to", not as "I want to". Quote
Sparkker Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Bout this VN?? Villanous protag is the tag >> http://vndb.org/v2232 Quote
Clephas Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 Meishoku no Reiki's protagonist is just evil. Quote
