So many of the puppets that we play are good men and women, but with one twist they could easily be monsters...
Okay. So. Given that most of my guys are gray anyway. Let's pretend that the grayest of all of them are in fact decent people. Woo.
Coach Sylvester (Glee)
Sue is everybody's favorite teacher at McKinley. She isn't the greatest coach the cheerleaders have had, but the girls have fun and when she realized that her captain was pregnant, she took care of her. It was a great show-demonstrating diversity, commitment to caring.
"You realize how embarassing that is right?" Will Shuester. Glee Club Director. The Glee Club had taken regionals, sectionals, nationals for the past three years since he'd started running it, "I mean how can you claim to be espousing family values when you've got a knocked-up teen trying to do a kick?"
"I had to do something William." Sue sips at her coffee, "You kicked her out of New Directions."
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to coordinate dance numbers when I'm worrying about our male lead breaking his back carrying a six-month-preggers girl?" He snorted, "I'm not going to put the rest of my squad in bellies just to please some weird notion of diversity. She takes nine months off, most performers do."
"So you'll let her back on?"
"Don't me ridiculous. It shows a deep lack of discipline." Shuester stood, "Her career on the stage is over."
Sue's hands clench. Not if she had anything to say about it. She may not be the best coach the cheerios have ever had, but at least-unlike a certain spanish teacher turned monster-she cared about the kids.

Mark Hoffman - frmthebeginning
They said that he took his sister's death too hard. They said that he was broken completely, that he'd never recover. They said that-but he cleaned up. Got help. Angie wouldn't have wanted him to waste his life in bars, climbing out of one dive in the name of another. He cried sure-he got looks for it from Matthews in particular but it made him emphasize wtih the victim. It made him more determined to see justice done.
When Baxter was released he fought the urge to find the man and do something terrible-resisting culminating in him parked outside the man's apartment with his gun in his hands before he broke down and slipped the barrel against his temple. Don't do it Mark.
It took every ounce of his being to pull the car away, to drive home and collapse useless on his bed.
He was up at six-am with the Jigsaw files on his desk. He had a killer to catch.

Nathan Wallace - thenightsurgeon
It was a longer night at the hospital then he'd expected. Three surgeries and two Repo Men bringing in half-dead bodies off the streets because they'd had clauses in their contracts that they would be brought in in the event of a Repo. Rotti was...meticulous that way.
"Daddy?"
Shilo had on her gas mask, dress, shoes, socks.
"Hi sweetheart." He kissed his daughter on the cheek, unaware of how much their world was shaken, "Going out?"
"I've got blind mag tickets with Steven, Terrance, Dray, and Margot."
"Say hi to her for me."
"I will. She says you should come to a show next time."
He laughed it off weakly, "...Shilo?"
"Daddy?"
"Let me get my coat and I'll drive you."
