The role of "the jerk" is often over-used, especially because many find it as an excuse for out-of-character behavior. Additionally, many people use "the jerk" as an extension of the reason some people play MUDs: to empower themselves. It's the bully syndrome, making others feel uncomfortable to satisfy one's own insecurities.

Now, that said, some of the best "jerk" characters are often the nicest non-jerks in real life as well. Of course, these people also are good in any role, regardless.

Take care,

Jason
