In fanfiction, canon characters acting out of character often take on strange and disturbing traits that stick out like a sore thumb. When this happens, the character appears so unlike him- or herself that a renaming is often in order. For instance, a trope of Lord of the Rings fanon is that Thranduil is evil and abusive to his son, Legolas. This warped characterization is then rechristened "Evil!Thranduil" by the PPC. Other common adjective!nouns are Evil!Denethor, Ho!Mione, and Stupid!Jack.
