Guess that Dark Knight Job Story Rival(s)!

[Shougun]

A good plot twist brings about opportunity but only if it is done right though I would prefer something else than a generic "reveal the main antagonist was a Demon" plot

Always enjoy a story that makes people question what they know and Dark Knight does open that option due to what types of Dark Knights can exists.

While it is common to place DK in a view of something evil there are other times when Dark Knights are placed as something good but it is just their beliefs that make people think other wise.

For example, Good Dark Knights often are not bound by gods, religion, laws, kings, queens, and kingdoms because evil people can use those as means to cause harm or escape from their crimes.

While common to see this as evil, the unbound limit they have gives them more open to act against evil that would use the same system designed to bring good.

Edited my post a little, noticed it wasn't quite clear about plot twist and running right into a secondary idea I had lol - also the demon would not necessarily be the antagonist (since it would be the shard you were using). But- Yes, I like your evaluation of the lack of structure being a form of good that many would see as evil and lacking of a system they hold as right but may have been or be corrupted already. It would be nice if the really identify what makes Dark Knight (Dark) but yet also good, and perhaps contrast that with the Paladin where possible.

I know this is an international game that is trying to get a lot of attention but at your mention of religion I think of SE (soft) and Xenogears.. Wonder if they could work something in with the holy see and dark knights.
