Most of my characters tended to be of an evil nature.

I voted CG, because that's the alignment almost all the characters I've ever played have been, although I've also played a few NG and CN characters. (These three alignments also roughly reflect my own personality.) I've never been able to play a lawful character properly (my DM once told me that I'm just too chaotic to pull this off successfully.)

As for evil alignments... well, I haven't had that much experience playing them (my DM doesn't allow let anyone play evil characters in his campaigns). Well, at least not in D&D, anyway. A few of my characters in other RPGs have been some of the nastiest S.O.B.'s in existence. (One even went so far as starting a war that spanned half a dozen galaxies, and committed several hundred acts of genocide, just to get the man who killed his fiancee. Oh, and also because he felt that no one else in the universe understood what it was like to lose someone they loved, and that it was his duty to 'teach' them.)

Actually, in the last 9/10 of the campaign, he did come to feel remorse for what he had done, but felt that there was no way he could turn back from the path he had set out on. The main reason for this change of heart was because the sentient, symbiotic super-weapon that he was bonded with decided to restore his sanity. The reason it hadn't done this earlier was because it had never been used by an insane host before, and was busy 'studying' his unstable psyche, primarily to try and determine if it could use the character in his unbalanced state to fulfill its ultimate goal (to seek out the original super-weapon it was based off of, and aid the original in stopping an eldritch abomination that destroyed the previous multiverse from destroying the current multiverse). It eventually concluded that it would be impossible, and 'rewrote the host's flawed programming'. At the end of the war, the character took the name 'Longinus', and banished himself to The Void (an unchanging non-reality that keeps the different universes connected, yet separate).

The irony of it all is that the weapon was also (unintentionally) responsible for it's host's insanity; the character's fiancee was 'predestined' to die, and her death was meant to bring 'a great change' necessary for awakening the full potential of the weapon and it's 'siblings'. (The super-weapons were, for all intents and purposes, gods, and could foresee the future, up to a point.) While the weapon could have resurrected her (it was certainly within it's capabilities), it refused to do so (the weapons could chose to restrict what powers there hosts had access to), and basically (and quite bluntly) told the character that his fiancee's death was 'necessary'. (While this might make the weapon seem evil, you have to remember that it was only a machine, albeit a god-like one, acting on what it was programmed to think was 'necessary' to accomplish it's mission.)
