Legally, you aren’t culpable, either, though magical mental domination would be difficult to prove in court.

Second, don’t accuse people of being disingenuous. That’s obnoxious. Playing as an evil character holds no interest for me, but playing as a good character with no memory and beset by an evil voice in their head sounds like the most interesting, badass opportunity to roleplay that I’ve come across since The Nameless One.

this is hard to do the definition, such as "drug".

someone is forced or lured drug, and then the one spontaneously drugs whenever "addiction episode".

i think you can not say the one can not help him/herself that is innocent.

in my words, the dark urge is an origin sin, and the origin sin poison the dark urge's soul very completely 15 year ago.

...and, tav is the real core, he/she is the real player character -- non-origin character.
whereas, the dark urge is just one of the origin characters.
