This is a companion thread to "Victim Mentality" http://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/victim-mentality.7746/, in the interest of fairness, focusing on the mindset of the executioner (which can imply lethal or non-lethal abuse), male or female, rather than the mind set of the victim.
Do you prefer, either as the executioner or as their victim:
A. An executioner who is strictly business, doing a job for a brutal state or gang of criminals (are the two really different?).
B. One who operates strictly for their personal gratification
C. A mix
In my personal case, most of the characters in my stories operate from mixed motives, C, which I find inherently more interesting than A or B. After all, it's nice to enjoy one's work, isn't it??
