Frankly, I find this "character type" to be grossly overused. It seems to be the refuge of the anti-social, mean spirited griefer. When caught in his or her stretching (or outright violation) of rules (with the intended purpose of harassing or harming others both IC and OOC), the excuse is always that they are playing an "@sshole" character.
This type of character could potentially be interesting if its existence was sparse. It would also be interesting, possibly, if the person really held true to the supposed RP goal. Amazingly, even these "jerks" always make sure they have plenty of friends they are nice to in case they need backup for whatever purpose.
