Dark Is Not Evil / Web Animation

---

• The main cast of Card Players consist of an illegal immigrant, a murderer, a gun-toting 10 year old with an agency out to kill her, and two ex mercenaries (one of which drinks the blood of his victims, while the other Demon eats them) all on a quest to thwart the evil around New York City. It doesn't help that they're dressed like muggers while they do it.
• Childrin R Skary: Ida is almost a textbook Creepy Child. She's also The Woobie and a Barrier Maiden who can drive back the terrible things threatening her town.
• Dreamscape: Keela. As she explains to Dylan after they escape from the Unworld; just because shes a demon, doesn't mean the bad things she does are toward those who don't deserve it.
  • Like Keela, Vladmare is not an evil demon. In fact, his MO is slaying demons that ARE evil.
  • Keedran likes being in her monstrous form more than her true form, and she finds evil magic more fun than holy magic. Be that as it may, she is one of the protectors of the planet, even though she knows Humans Are Flawed.
  • Aseir's powers, personality, and outfit scream "evil!", but he's not an evildoer.
• Epithet Erased:
  • Self-proclaimed supervillain Giovanni Potage leads a gang of hoods and shows up wearing the uniform of a crime syndicate; when he quits later on, he puts on a hugely over-the-top black ensemble with spikes and a mask. He is so bad at actually being evil that he's probably the biggest positive influence in Molly's life.
  • Rick Shades's powers are black, heavy on dramatic lightning, and he seems totally incapable of saying things in a non-creepy way. Said powers are based on The Power of Friendship, and he is a genuinely ethical and friendly, if somewhat desperate and traumatised, person.
• Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures: Kuromi prefers to dress in black, loves Halloween, and has a skull motif on her clothes and house. That being said, she's generally cheerful enough, likes hanging out with her friends, and comes off more as a Perky Goth than anything else.
• Helluva Boss: Stolas is a sensitive, loving demon prince, with a seriously erotic horny side. Most of the time, he's quirky, jovial and eccentric. But he can be downright terrifying (especially in "Truth Seekers") when he has to be. Fortunately he's not out to hurt anyone, as long as they don't harm his closest friends and Octavia.
• HTF +: LG Creepybloom started out as evil, she constantly jumpscared and annoyed Flippy throughout in the beginning of the series. Then she and Evil Pinkie Pie decided to cook him into a cupcake but after realizing the error of her ways she pulled a Heel–Face Turn in HTF+CC 2. Since then she is good friends with Flippy who visits him for film nights.
• The only Red vs. Blue character with black armor (Tex) is actually on the side of the (more or less) good guys.
• RWBY:
  • Subverted trope that is only in play during the Red Trailer. In the first three volumes, Ruby favours a gothic black appearance, with black tights, combat boots and corseted skirt. The black is accented with red and she wears a red cape pinned with crosses. Her weapon is a giant scythe that doubles as a rifle, which is also red and black in colour scheme. However, she has a bubbly, optimistic personality, always tries to see the best in people and is determined to become a Huntress because she wants to help make people's lives better. Her introduction in the Red Trailer, has her play a silent role as she walks through a forest with her face hooded and hidden before mowing down monsters in an extremely violent way. Until the main show revealed her true personality, the fandom thought she was a stoic, solitary Anti-Hero. Her later outfits sacrifice some of the black to introduce white or pale grey blouses (from Volume 4) and red skirts and modesty shorts from Volume 7, which lightens her overall look but also gives her the same color scheme (red, black, and white) of the Creatures of Grimm, the monsters she hunts.
  • Qrow's colour scheme is dark greys and reds. He wields a Sinister Scythe, is heavily associated with death motifs, a Functional Alcoholic and is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. He's very affectionate to his nieces, Ruby and Yang, plays the role of a Cool Uncle, trained Ruby and acts with Undying Loyalty to Ozpin. From Volume 7, his outfit becomes darker, introducing burgundy and browns, but he also gives up alcohol and starts trying — with limited success — to improve his outlook on life.
  • The God of Darkness is a being of destruction, not evil, who creates destructive forces, such as fire, famine or the Creatures of Grimm. However, he helped the God of Light to create humanity and it upsets him that his terrible reputation means humans don't ever seek him out for help or blessings. He gifted humanity with the ability to use magic, a powerful tool in their fight against the Grimm. When Salem asks him to resurrect Ozma, he instantly grants her request because he's happy to be able to create for once. When humanity uses his gift of magic to attack the gods, he destroys them, abandoning the rebel leader on an empty world as punishment. The God of Light supports his act, and goes one step further when he gives humanity a single chance to be redeemed: if humanity fails, he won't just destroy them, he'll destroy the entire planet.
• From TOME, GameCrazed is a morphological fighter in the game that has the power of shadows.
