me either, i don't know enough about ra's to say for sure, though the common consensus seemed to be that he was eii—my only argument against it is that he seems too externally violent, i think an eii would try to minimize fighting and causalities.

i don't see eii as working for the sake of their ego, money, fun, or power, but to bring about an end result that might ultimately benefit humanity (from their perspective, that is). utilitarian idealists. that does fit ra's, at the very least.



yeah true. eii villains seem to be rarer than i thought—conventionally evil eii seems like a misnomer. i don't know if the lack of fictional eii antagonists means that it's impossible for an eii to be anything other than lawful/neutral good, or if it's just really difficult to create a believable eii antagonist.

perhaps a hypothetical eii antagonist might not be evil in the sense that they're committing atrocities and kicking puppies, but speaking in the terms of the narrative, they could merely be coming from an opposing standpoint to the protagonist.
EII live for the big picture to make a difference for humanity and contribute in some way. They're not going to be found as depicted as some evil ness
