Character »
The inverse of an anti-hero. An anti-villain is a villain that portrays him/herself as someone who is just and altruistic while is secretly working towards an otherwise nefarious and villainous goal. Common archetypes of anti-villains are politicians and religious figures who craft a wholesome and good-natured image to hide their evil intentions; this may even sometimes include doing good deeds, but only as a temporary measure to potentially further their true ambitions.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
Crooked Cops work both sides of the law for their own benefit.
Life altering and potentially dangerous, drugs come in a large variety of forms. In most games, drugs can have significantly different physical and social effects on video game characters.
The act of breaking the law.
Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a man.
Murder is the act of ending the life of another living thing against its will without the sanction of a higher governmental authority, such as the casualties that result from acts of war. It is generally intentional, at least in a legal meaning, but not necessarily.
The first police department established in the US, the NYPD is the largest police force in the country. It is the primary department or agency responsible for law enforcement and investigation within New York City.
Police are paid protectors who enforce the law through legal use of force. They are supposed to help ensure public safety and social order. Their motto is to protect and to serve.
Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
