Another OC proposal of mine. This time, it's Harvey Vaugn from my recently posted fanfic Turning Red: The Panda Conspiracy.
What's the work?[]
Turning Red: The Panda Conspiracy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/55277731) is a fanfiction based on Pixar's 2022 film Turning Red. It is the sequel to Turning Red: Secrets of the Panda, and follows Mei and Xia as they are being hunted by the PCA due to being accused of murder. However, they soon learn that the true culprit has a connection to the PCA, and must do whatver they can to put an end to his schemes.
Who is he?[]
Harvey Vaugn is the true head of the PCA, as well as the father of both Jason and Sarah Vaugn. He is often abusive to others, including his own family. Harvey Vaugn is a notorious hunter and poacher who has single handedly put several species onto the endangered list, treating them as trophies rather than actual animals.
What makes him pure evil?[]
- Abuses his own daughter and lets Jason do the same simply because he views her as being weak
- Show no care for his own children
- Kicks Sarah out onto the streets after she calls him out on his cruelty, forcing her to fend for herself
- Has Sarah's mother murdered since she was disgusted by what he was doing
- Made a deal with Xióngmāo shāshǒu to hunt down Mei and her family, while showing no loyalty to the demon (much like his own son, Jason)
- Tries to have Mei executed by firing squad after learning she has the ability to transform into a giant red panda
- Has killed several animals and mounted them as trophies, putting several species on the endangered list in the process
- Attacks Mei at Xia's house without due cause before Xia intervenes
- Plans on killing Mei and making her into a rug or mounting her head on his wall
- Kills both Tyler and Ming, and frames Mei and Xia for it while posing as an officer
- Has the animals in Xia's sanctuary killed
- Manipulates his daughter, Sarah, into killing Xia Lee
- Drags Sarah to Xia's house against her will
- Cuts Sarah several times with a knife for letting Mei live
- Tries to kill both Mei and Sarah at Xia's house
Mitigating factors:[]
Absolutely none. Harvey is a sadistic murderer who kills for the sheer fun of it. Unlike Jason, his actions are born of pure bloodlust and love for violence as opposed to outright xenophobia, greed, and paranoia. He is also an abusive parent who shows no care for his own children, and will gladly kick them onto the streets if it means he'll get his way.
Heinous Standard:[]
Due to the lighthearted nature of the original work (Turning Red by Disney/Pixar), the story has a fairly low heinous standard. Harvey crosses it on virtue of being responsible for the events of both stories (Secrets of the Panda, and The Panda Conspiracy), and killing several animals purely to fill his trophy case and satisfy his own sadism. He also kills two people who are close to Mei and Xia, and manipulates his own daughter into doing what he wants.
Verdict:[]
I give him a strong yes.
