O my f-list, I turn to you for aid! ...In this case, for aid in collection of trivia, that skill at which so many of you excel.

I am trying to compile a list of fictional characters who self-identify as evil. (Ideally with a note as to whether said self-identification is ironic or not -- though this is, of course, subject to interpretation.) Said self-identification can happen at any point in the character's arc, but must be present self-identification; "I am evil," rather than "I was evil."

Starting with this guy! *points at new icon*

I'm definitely thinking about Faith -- because, correct me if I'm wrong, she only self-identifies as evil during the lowest ebb of her self-image; during a time when she has indeed gone through self-loathing and into actively trying to get Angel to kill her.

I'm never sure whether Spike identifies as evil ironically or not.

The First Evil is presumably not being ironic, if you want a clear-cut Buffyverse example.

ETA: Although it's not human.

1) OMG ICON AHAHA EEE.

2) It is definitely not being ironic. It is evil and loving it.

Faith is complicated. I know, that's something of an understatement. I think that, to an extent at least, she'll always feel that she is, at least partially, evil. Certainly she knows she has the capacity for it, made worse by the Slayery darkness. And she's had internal arguments with that darker half of herself at least twice that I can think of - once when inside Buffy's body and once in the comic.
