Transformation is our favorite kind of story. Also entertaining: the steadfast character's story. They defend a code, suffer, and maintain their (sometimes noble) mission. See: film noir, early Robert Mitchum movies. Blade Runner's Decker.

These are ALL great examples, Ron. Transformation is a powerful thing. Thanks for sharing! As a character driven writer and reader, I especially love those steadfast character stories.
