Actually it does, see that is what the Good Hearted Bastards category was made for, characters who seem Morally Ambiguous at first but are revealed to be good caring people, or whatever else, as time goes by, I think that might be the category you are looking for or Pure of heart. No Pure of heart need not be perfect per say but it needs to be well pure, never susceptible or anger, corruption, selfishness and always highly valuing life. It is one of those categories that is references a character being darn near saintly, or outright saintly.

Anyway I am sorry about Sociopath, I am not arguing for that one to be re-added like I said I may just have been missing a vital point of character development. Pure of heart on the other hand is one of those conditions where you are or you aren't there is no making amends or becoming it. If you have freely done evil with no care what so ever you can not over time be Pure of heart. Really think about it, see if that were the case we would have to assign the likes of Vegita, Wolverine or Sir Lancelot the title of Pure of heart. It is one of those categories that needs to be serious pruned of even slight deviations to keep away potential spam.

Think of it for a moment see this category contains young kid who fought a war without killing anyone and defeated a tyrant bent on word domination by risking his own soul to sealing his powers instead of hurting him, a mermaid who only ever wanted to find true love but risked her life and love to save her father, an old wizard who had himself killed by his own agent just so said agent could get close enough to finish off an ancient evil and... a somewhat mad doctor who kills anyone who is not specially his patient and encourages renegade behavior...yeah.

See the admins are really trying to clean these sorts of things up, the Pure of heart category still has a lot of spam as it is and I need to get rid of the rest, combing each page over very carefully. So this is the sort of thing we really need to put our feet down over. Again character development is all very well and good but you can't develop a pure heart, contrary to what Catholicism might teach say we just can't wave our hands over someone's head and say "Okay you are reborn as totally pure individuals now nothing you did in the past affects your soul". once you do something bad you are not pure of heart, especially if you casually do it without regret. I really think what you are describing might be Good Hearted Bastards.
