the "wicked / evil" rule is not absolute.. when I made that it was to limit the creation of simple "jerk" types.. I still believe characters who are criminal can be included.. you may be a nice person but if you rob people or similar you're still a "bad guy" by most settings.

granted, within reason, Robin Hood is a hero yet also a criminal but that's because "on the side of law" is also not absolute.. absolute dictators and corrupt cops are, technically "on the side of law" but are still bad guys.. dystopian villains are often *the* law itself and some lawful characters can be atrocious when they go too far, even with good intentions (look at Punisher etc).

a case by case judgement should be made - it's not always down to simply being "evil".. though it should be stressed even "good" people who end up on this wiki will cross some line on the ethical scale and into criminal.
