History Main / ActualPacifist

* The Website/{{YouTube}}r ''Goldvision'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1tAmAFSc-YS63RrFMwkG0GuPVN70ku_G series of videos]] in which he tries to play ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' as a pacifist.

** In the Literature/NewJediOrder, Jacen Solo at one point becomes one of these. While all the other Jedi and the New Republic and the [[VestigialEmpire Imperial Remnant]] are fighting the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Yuuzhan Vong]]. ...It was rather annoying. When he comes out of pacifism, he goes quickly into Messiah Mode, and later [[Literature/LegacyOfTheForce becomes]] [[FaceHeelTurn evil]].
** In ''Literature/TheBlackFleetCrisis'', there's one sect of Force-Sensitives called the Fallanassi who are so incredibly anti-violence that they won't defend themselves or anyone else, consider anyone who ''does'' fight at all to be dangerous and deluded at the least, and act like wariness is a moral outrage on par with assault. The books dealt with a Fallanassi member telling Luke Skywalker that his mother was another member of the sect and repeatedly chewing him out and telling him that he's as bad as Vader to use violence (first upon him killing some Imperial agents [[UngratefulBastard to protect her]]). Luke stands around, taking it, because he half-believed her and wanted to hear about his [[MissingMom mother]]. However considering this was after his turn to the Dark Side and during the period Luke was still very much "Must use Force for everything, no matter how trivial or invasive!" (like wiping memories from innocents...)? Well, let's face it. She was on to something, as Mara pointed out to him years later. Of course, they apparently have no problem with lying to Luke about his [[ActionGirl mother]]. Because of their beliefs, they see the Yevetha (who committed genocides) and New Republic (trying to stop them) as evil on the same level, as both use violence.

* It is possible to play an actual pacifist in the first two games of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' by maxing out all of your social traits. You can even talk the final boss to death.

* Nana from ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'' is the only cat who has yet to throw a punch. She prefers to rub against other cats and show them affection. If they punch her, she simply walks away. Her tendency to not fight back has led to other cats fighting on her behalf, namely [[ExtremelyProtectiveChild Dodo]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Lala.]]

* Wonder Man from ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' eventually becomes this over time. He is one of the most powerful members, yet he will face down the Hulk without taking a swing.

* An impressive military actual pacifist was WWII veteran Desmond T. Doss, who refused to bear arms or drill on Saturday due to his Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs. Doss was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for single-handedly rescuing 75 of his fellow soldiers from an escarpment under fire from the Japanese on Okinawa. From his medal citation, "As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them 1 by 1 to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands." Truly a kick-behind pacifist.

* In ''Fanfic/AFrozenFlower'', the Featherites, who are dormant ''lamberos'', are pacifists by their own rules, and are there to help, not hurt. They make one exception when Oprah asks them to seal Orchid in her Dinosaur Room and they comply despite Dove (the leader) not wanting to, but when she asks them to do it again after Orchid breaks out, they outright refuse and lay a few harsh words on Oprah about how she treats Orchid.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahimsa_in_Jainism Jains]]. Jainism includes the precept of "Ahiṃsā"; the absence of the desire to harm ''any'' life. How strictly this precept is adhered to varies, but all Jains observe it to some degree. The more fastidious Jains would only leave their house with a face mask (to make sure they do not breathe in any bugs) and a small broom (to gently sweep insects out of the way so they do not tread on them). All are vegetarians, and some go so far as to eat only fruit, to not harm plants either.

* Tenma from ''Anime/{{Monster}}''. Both played straight and deconstructed, as his belief that one human has no right to harm another is constantly challenged by the antagonist, starting with the fact that his main goal is to kill the antagonist.

* Folder, of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. He accidentally destroyed the arm of his best friend when his powers first manifested, and he was so traumatized that he still refuses to fight. Even to defend himself from bullies. Even to defend himself from a superpowered bully who keeps putting him in the hospital. Even when he is [[spoiler: [[GenderBender transformed into a girl]] and nearly raped by a delusional mage]]... and when finally [[BreakTheCutie pushed ''too'' far]], we see '''[[BodyHorror why]]''' he refused to use his powers in self-defense.

That's an Actual Pacifist, in a nutshell.

They're philosophically opposed to using physical violence to any degree, for any reason. To be on this trope, that includes self-defense, and if played right, can be a very moral and ethical person. On television, they are in contrast to the far-more-common TechnicalPacifist, who is fine with punching, stabbing, shooting or maiming people as long as they survive the experience.

* Kitano from ''Manga/AngelDensetsu''. Most people, however [[FaceOfAThug do not know he's one]]. Being a bit scary, however, actually helps him avoiding fights.

* Yashiro Isana from ''Anime/{{K}}''. In a series known for it's gorgeously animated fight scenes, you wouldn't expect to see a character who not only doesn't fight (even though he ''can'' [[spoiler: as a King, since WordOfGod says that any fight between a King and non-King will be a CurbStompBattle in the King's favor]]), but also tends to solve the cast's problems with plans that involve getting ''himself'' blown to bits. [[spoiler: [[FromASingleCell Good thing he's immortal]].]]

* Nekki Basara from ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}''. He doesn't angst, but instead gets [[BerserkButton quite angry]] when he is compelled to use force.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', the royal Riku family in the Dressrosa arc had not brought on a war upon its country for eight hundred years. Even a threat of invasion did not get them to take up arms. They had to [[spoiler: be forcibly removed from the throne]] in order to get them to. [[spoiler: Ricky/King Riku]] strikes with the flat of his blade when forced to fight and [[spoiler: his granddaughter Rebecca]] has a reputation of being undefeated despite never hitting an opponent directly.

* Amusingly used in the French comic ''ComicBook/CaptainBiceps'': the hero Pacific Man is incapable of doing any harm to another person/animal/object (including the bad guys, yogurt and ''his own tooth cavities''), but when he goes into his wimpy SecretIdentity, he is held up by the Terminator, starts giving him the nonviolent speech, then realizes what he's saying and suddenly ''punches out the goddamn Terminator in a single blow'' before running away. Then he says "Whew! I barely escaped being recognized there!"

** In an issue of ''G.I. Joe: Special Missions'', Lifeline is among a group of Joes ambushed by river pirates during a skirmish with the [[TheRival Oktober Guard]], and is forced into a duel to the death with [[TheBigGuy Horrorshow]]; winner gets to leave with the black box from a Cobra Firebat that the Joes had captured. Lifeline uses aikido to redirect Horrorshow's attacks and he wins the fight, but refuses to kill Horrorshow, instead asking for the lives of both teams and letting the pirates keep the black box. The pirate leader decides to throw away the box and let them all go, having been impressed that Lifeline had the courage of his convictions.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Flinch}}'', Zelda hates fighting. Unfortunately, she is in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' world war. Despite all her training, Zelda is considered the weakest fighter. She tries to fight, [[WouldNotHurtAChild except when very young people are involved]], but always ends up beat up. She has an EnemyWithin in Sheik that can do the fighting for her, but Zelda hates letting Sheik have control.

* The White Queen from ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010''. The fact that her arms are always uptight don't let her injure things, too.
* In ''Film/AngelAndTheBadman'' (1947) Quirt Evans (Creator/JohnWayne) falls in love with Quaker Prudence Worth (Gail Russel) and foreswears his violent ways and quest to avenge the murder of his adoptive father. He almost backslides, but in the final confrontation with the man responsible, Laredo Stevens, Prudence convinces Quirt to lay down his gun. [[spoiler: Stevens then attempts to shoot Evans, who would have been killed if not for the timely intervention of the sheriff (Harry Carey, Sr.).]] The pacifist theme this Western is a bit unexpected given John Wayne's popular image, but he not only played the lead but also produced it.

* Brother Gilbert of ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'' displayed this trait early on, but when war with Einon became inevitable he unwilling agreed to use his [[BadAssPreacher previously undiscovered (but historically justified) archery skills]]. Even then, he kept all but one of his shots non-fatal and was reciting biblical lines as he did so. (Shoots an enemy in the ass-cheek) "Turn the other cheek now, brother." Worth noting is that even when he was set up as an archer he couldn't bring himself to actually fire his bow until he realized that NOT shooting it would cause immediate pain and death to good people.

* Reverend Harper in ''Film/TheGatlingGun'' believes that the Gatling gun is too terrible a weapon for anyone to possess, and wants to destroy it so that neither the cavalry or the Indians can use it. He dies trying to negotiate with Two Knives, whom he regards as a friend.
* ''Film/HeddWyn'': Although Ellis thinks little of British nationalism and the PatrioticFervor that is leading his friends to sign up to fight in World War I, he makes it clear that it's not the war itself that he objects to. He refuses to join up, because he refuses to kill.

** The Caeliar from ''Literature/StarTrekDestiny''. They would rather die in the millions than harm another being or even allow harm to come to another if they can prevent it. When the human characters they're holding captive rebel, they're convinced to co-operate when a human shoots his own colleague.

* Lift's [[BondCreature spren]] Wyndle in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. [[spoiler: He really doesn't like the idea of turning into a Shardblade and being used to stab people. He's okay with turning into a Shardblade and being admired at a work of art. Or with turning into a pole to block somebody else's Shardblade.]]

* ''Series/{{MASH}}'' has Hawkeye, who flat out refuses to fire at the enemy even when they are shooting at him.

* Hestia from Myth/ClassicalMythology abstained from violence absolutely. She even swore a VowOfCelibacy so no men would quarrel over her. As a result, very little myths revolved around Hestia, because [[GoodIsBoring peaceful people are uninteresting]], yet she was also the most honored deity in the entire pantheon. (It's hard to hate someone who never did bad to you.)

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' has two levels of this: Self Defense Only and Total Nonviolence. With Total Nonviolence you can only even defend yourself against things that aren't sentient.

** The goddess Eldath from the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' setting forbids her clerics from violence. This was most visible in the AD&D days, when her specialty priests ("Peacemen" and "Peacewomen") could not use armor of any kind, nor fighting except in self-defense or to defend others having a limited set of allowed weapons, and were able to parry enemy attacks, and one priest kit ("Stillwater") for standard Eldathyn clerics went even further forbidding them from using ''any'' kind of weapon or armor.

** The "Vow of Non-Violence" And "Vow of Peace" are intended to lead towards this, as exemplified by the Apostle of Peace PrestigeClass: they forsake violence and material possessions in exchange for healing abilities and defensive powers. However, those lofty holy vows don't prohibit ''non''lethal damage, so [[TechnicalPacifist beating people into unconsciousness]] is fair game. However, since the vows come with an affect that inflicts penalties on ''anyone'', including your teammates, who tries using violence against a living opponent, actually taking the feats can easily turn a character into TheScrappy as far as their teammates are concerned.

* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'': Mercurian angels are required to be this. They are meant to be guides, helpers and friends of humanity, and cannot harm any mortal -- including Soldiers of Hell -- without generating dissonance. Mercurians in sticky situations are expected to rely on diplomacy and talk their way out.

** Kyoko has 5 HP and +3 Defense but is unable to use the Evade command, and her Hyper Card, called "Crystal Barrier", allows her to skip any battle, drop panel or trap card, at the cost of 1 HP. So, your best chance is to focus efforts on star norma and keep her away from battle.

* The Betas of ''VideoGame/EndlessSky'' are extremely adverse to any form of violence against another person, due to their heighted empathy, to the point where a Beta has to ask someone else to kill a person they've restrained.

* ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' fits the description since, although the games show him to be an excellent fencer and in overall remarkably good shape for an academic, he firmly espouses the mindset that "a gentleman does not seek violence." He's only willing to get into a fight if he doesn't have much of a choice, either to defend his own well-being or that of someone else and on those occasions when he ''does'' fight he does so as non-lethally as possible. [[spoiler:In the swordfight from the second game, he only crosses blades to defend himself, and stops as soon as his opponent shows signs of failing strength. In the third game, his response to being shot at is to rig together a machine gun made out of a slot machine, and use it to shoot his antagonists with coins!]]

* Hanabusa, the main character of ''VideoGame/{{Tsukumogami}}'', seems to be this, even though she never says it out loud. She has no problem using her spectacular sword-skills to defeat the titular evil spirits but refuses to even raise a hand against a living human being. Anytime she's forced into conflict with humans, she simply runs away and hides. Even in an extreme case, [[spoiler: like when her best friend is dying from an infectious disease, and the [[AristocratsAreEvil nobles have hoarded all the medicine]],]] she refuses to [[spoiler: fight the noble's guards when breaking into his mansion in order to recover a dose of the medicine.]]

* For the Bard of ''VideoGame/{{Wandersong}}'', this is one of his most defining traits (besides [[QuirkyBard his specialization in music]], of course). So dedicated he is to this philosophy that he struggles to hold and lift, ''let alone'' use, weapons of any kind[[note]]not unlike [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob]] trying to lift a bunny plush-dumbbell on one of his off-days[[/note]], as well as momentarily defying gravity if he so much as risks accidentally stepping on bugs. [[spoiler:There are, however, two moments when the Bard [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness gets startlingly close to breaking their vow]], though neither actually ends with him going too far. The first being at the end of Act 3 when [[TheChosenOne Audrey Redheart]] introduces herself by killing an Overseer, and angers the bard enough to make him charge at her ([[CurbStompBattle he gets a near-fatal lightning bolt delivered to his chest for his troubles]]). The second is halfway through Act 6 when the aforementioned bugs [[AndroclesLion open a way out of a cave-in that the Bard and Audrey were trapped in]]. He considers the possibility of leaving her behind in the cave to ''die'' because he believes that it'll be his fault if he lets her out and she kills the last Overseers, which'll end the universe. He relents when he gets her to promise not to kill any more... though she [[ILied breaks it wide open]] the first chance she gets.]]

* Folder, of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. He accidentally destroyed the arm of his best friend when his powers first manifested, and he was so traumatized that he still refuses to fight. Even to defend himself from bullies. Even to defend himself from a superpowered bully who keeps putting him in the hospital. Even when he is [[spoiler: [[GenderBender transformed into a girl]] and nearly raped by a delusional mage]]... and when finally [[BreakTheCutie pushed ''too'' far]], we see '''[[BodyHorror why]]''' he refused to uses his powers in self-defense.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' episode "Return of the King", in an AlternateHistory universe, Martin Luther King wasn't killed by an assassin but put into a coma for 32 years, waking up significantly aged in a hospital bed on October 27, 2000. After the 9/11 attacks, King appears on TV, stating that his Christian faith teaches him to "turn the other cheek", even with respect to enemies such as Al-Qaeda. His commentary receives severe scorn from the White House Press Secretary, CNN and Time magazine, and causes his popularity to plummet.

* Lifeline from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' refused to employ violence. On one occasion, he wouldn't even touch a rifle, even though it was being held out for him to grab and pull him out of a trap. This is based on his counterpart from the comics - see above. He's a member of the Joes solely to be a frontline medic and will not do ''anything'' combat related if he can help it.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Played for laughs in "Won't You Pimai Neighbor?". A group of Buddhist monks believe Bobby is the reincarnated Lama Sanglug and are testing him, but Hank doesn't like the idea of it, and tries to tell them to stop.

* UsefulNotes/MahatmaGandhi has this reputation, but the reality is much more complicated. While he stopped the first Indo-Pakistan war by going on hunger-strike and successfully helped to end British imperialism in India non-violently, his non-violence was more of a tactic than an ethos. In the case of Britain, it was more that he was never capable of acquiring the weapons necessary for the revolution through force that he initially wanted, so a peaceful one was the next best thing for him. Philosophically, he leaned towards the MartialPacifist and considered violence preferable to passive acceptance.[[note]]Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent civil disobedience is frequently mistranslated as "passive resistance," but is more accurately rendered "militant non-violence."[[/note]] His ''ahimsa'' demanded that its followers actively work to counteract violence, and espoused the use of force in the immediate defense of others.
* UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr, who took inspiration from Gandhi, also preached a message of non-violence. Much like Gandhi, his views on nonviolence evolved over time. Initially, taking inspiration from the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, he eschewed non-violence as a tool for social change, beliving it only applied in interpersonal relations. Early on in his career, this was reflected by him having no problem with having armed bodyguards and a sizeable stockpile of guns on hand.[[note]]The former persisted even after adopting pacifism as a method, as he would occasionally permit organized armed defense of nonviolent activists[[/note]] This would change when he was mentored by Bayard Rustin, who had been heavily influenced both by Quaker pacifism and his studies of Gandhi's teachings. After taking a trip to India and seeing Gandhi's political successes firsthand, King was finally convinced of the efficacy of nonviolence, and the rest is history. Ironically, Rustin would later abandon pacifism completely in the 1960s, whereas King became more and more committed up to the day he was killed.
* Under the Wiccan Rede, "harm none" is the law placed on all Wiccans. This means both physical harm and psychological harm, and is sometimes interpreted to include self-harm.
* Buddhism has the reputation of being a pacifist religion, because a major theme amongst Buddhist teachings is not harming others in any way -- be it physical (stealing, violence, selling booze or meat) or mental (gossip, insults, etc). However, this basic tenet varies greatly by sect and region, some tending more towards a MartialPacifist approach, and some embracing a more pragmatic approach towards violence.

* This very nearly killed the career of Creator/LewAyres. In 1931, Ayres starred in ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'', an adaptation of Creator/ErichMariaRemarque's famed anti-war novel. The experience profoundly moved him, and he became a devout pacifist during the making of the movie. When UsefulNotes/WorldWarII broke out, Ayres reportedly sought enlistment but only in a position where he would not have to carry or fire a weapon. In 1941, that accommodation flat-out didn't exist in the United States Army, and so the draft board could only give him a draft exemption as a conscientious objector. However, many people assumed he was a draft-dodger for this, and as a result he was [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor removed from the insanely popular]] ''Film/DrKildare'' film franchise (which was retooled to feature costar Creator/LionelBarrymore as Dr. Gillespie) and for a few years couldn't find work in Hollywood, until the military belatedly began offering the exact position that Ayres had wanted all along. He volunteered on the spot and became a combat medic and later a Chaplain's assistant in the Pacific.

** In ''Literature/TheBlackFleetCrisis'', there's one sect of Force-Sensitives called the Fallanassi who are so incredibly anti-violence that they won't defend themselves or anyone else, consider anyone who ''does'' fight at all to be dangerous and deluded at the least, and act like wariness is a moral outrage on par with assault. The books dealt with a Fallanassi member telling Luke Skywalker that his mother was another member of the sect and repeatedly chewing him out and telling him that he's as bad to use violence (first upon him killing some Imperial agents [[UngratefulBastard to protect her]]). Luke stands around, taking it, because he half-believed her and wanted to hear about his [[MissingMom mother]]. However considering this was after his turn to the Dark Side and during the period Luke was still very much "Must use Force for everything, no matter how trivial or invasive!" (like wiping memories from innocents...)? Well, let's face it. She was on to something, as Mara pointed out to him years later. Of course, they apparently have no problem with lying to Luke about his [[ActionGirl mother]]. Because of their beliefs, they see the Yevetha (who committed genocides) and New Republic (trying to stop them) as evil on the same level, as both use violence.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Princess Villian refuses to learn how to fight and how to use magic because [[HonorBeforeReason magic can potentially be used as a weapon]]. Because of this, she is very often a DamselInDistress.
* Despite his [[MartialPacifist significant skill in martial arts]] (which he uses purely to break up fights with minimum force), Simon Brezhnev of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' sticks very firmly to pacifist ideals [[spoiler:probably to [[TheAtoner atone]] for his past both in the KGB and TheMafiya]]. He doesn't even like ''talking'' about fighting.

* ''LightNovel/HeavyObject'': The [[CanonForeigner anime-only character]] Klondike is the leader of an antiwar movement opposed to the status quo of neverending brushfire wars (mainly fought as "clean wars" between [[HumongousMecha Objects]]). He himself follows a Jain-like philosophy of absolute nonviolence and gently chides the protagonists Qwenthur and Havia for not having saved the operators of the seven or so Objects they and Princess have destroyed.

* The protagonist of the ''Series/{{Oshin}} series is this, after her friendship with the ex-soldier Shusaku [[spoiler: and its tragic end.]] Not only she's increasingly disturbed as UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan becomes more militarized when [[spoiler: her son Yuu is drafted into the military itself, she breaks down in tears.]]

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': The Tuatha'an are strict pacifists, with a code they call the Way of the Leaf which forbids violence, along with using any instruments which can cause it. Once they were being pushed into a physical conflict (with the White Cloaks) they stoically grabbed arms, forming a HumanShield, waiting to be beaten up.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Princess Villian refuses to learn how to fight and how to use magic because [[HonorBeforeReason magic can potentially be used as a weapon]]. Because of this, she is very often a DistressedDamsel.

* Lifeline from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' refused to employ violence. On one occasion, he wouldn't even touch a rifle, even though it was being held out for him to grab and pull him out of a trap. This is based on his counterpart from the comics - see above. Exactly what an Actual Pacifist is doing as part of a ''front-line Anti-Terrorist Combat Force'' is never really explained, but it's implied he basically is only part of the Joes to always be there to help out when Cobra attacks.

* Martin Luther King, Jr., who took inspiration from Gandhi, also preached a message of non-violence. Like Gandhi, however, he did believe that sometimes violence was necessary (e.g. when first involved with civil rights activism, he had no problem in getting a handgun, along with his compatriots, when he'd received death threats).
* Under the Wiccan Rede, "harm none" is the law placed on all Wiccans. This means both physical harm and psychological harm... and is sometimes interpreted to include self-harm.

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', Cal hates violence, even in self-defense, because he believes that hurting or killing others isn't the right way to resolve conflict.

* The four in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'', probably making this the only heroic fantasy with Actual Pacifists as protagonists. They never initiate fights—in fact, they avoid conflict when possible—and while three of them do deal some minor damage to people in revenge for having been badly abused (the polar opposite of DisproportionateRetribution), none of them would dream of seriously hurting any living thing. (When Paul comes close to doing so, he suffers a HeroicBSOD.)
** Though they do make exceptions to protect one another. And John has more of a temper than the others and does open a can of nonlethal whoop-ass on a few people, always while protecting one or more of the others.

** The Organians in the episode "Errand of Mercy".
** The Halkans in "Mirror, Mirror" are so pacifist that they won't trade with the Federation because they ''might'' use the dilithium to harm someone.
** Surak from "The Savage Curtain" absolutely refuses to use force to solve a problem, even at great risk to himself.

* Mario from ''Machinima/MeleesEnd'' decides that he's tired of spending all his time fighting (this despite being a character in a fighting game) and refuses to use violence, even when Ganondorf is in the middle of kicking his and his team's ass.
* Doc from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' abhors violence in every way, even having joined the army as a conscientious objector. For this reason, he is a medic... and his extreme pacifism has earned him the undying hatred of ''both'' teams. For maximum hilarity, the [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal Hyper-Aggressive AI]] O'Malley [[GrandTheftMe hijacks his body]] and attempts to use him in his ultimate goal of taking over the universe, and "crushing every living soul into ''dust!''" This pacifism is so extreme that when the Blues and Reds are in the middle of another fight, Church resorts to ''shooting Caboose in the foot'' to get him to cross to the other side, as even pretending to help the Blues against the Reds seemed too "aggressive" to Doc.

%%* The monks in ''Wiki/TheWanderersLibrary'' story [[http://wanderers-library.wikidot.com/pollution "Pollution"]]. It ends poorly.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' has the Manna Charitable Foundation, whose goals entail using anomalous objects to help people around the world. They have expressed strong pacifist beliefs, and are shown to never intentionally harm anyone, not even members of the SCP Foundation, the latter of whom is trying to contain the objects they use. Of course, objects they've used such as [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1176 SCP-1176]] ended up killing people, but that's because the MCF is so fervent in its charity projects that they typically don't take the time to research these objects extensively before giving the public access to them.
