Dark Knight is more about walking a thin line of temptation between good/evil where to improperly balance or tapping into the darkside to much forces you to surrender yourself to it?
I think I need to find an IC mentor for my Dark Knight, because if not he is going to lose himself to it completely, given his background.
An IC mentor for being a Dark Knight would warn you that if you gave yourself over to the darkness you would cease to be. As in, your previous personality is now taking a semi-permanent backseat to the BAMF that doesn't give a crap about killing that baby or running over that puppy. And until BAMF wants to hand the reins back over or you somehow manage to seize control you have to sit there in your own head, watch them do really horrible things and scream.
I really can't see being a dark knight as being pleasant in any way - unless you like hearing the whispers of an angry God. It seems like a huge burden.
Not to say that a character can't have a sense of humor or personality but I feel it'd be a shell. In solitude, they would be a morose, pensive, tormented person. Or at the very least a disconnected, emotionless one.
