On the Gerosha Chronicles front:


 * Ciem feels bad about having to kill Don the Psycho, even though she has plenty of reasons to want revenge. She didn't want to actually end a life.  But they were soldiers on opposite sides of a war that was war in everything but name  (politics.)
 * Emeraldon won't kill Sapphire King, especially since Sapphire King almost never kills anyone (except Jim Oisdaat.  And even then, he didn't do it directly.  He set a trap, relying on Jim's arrogance to prevent him from not walking into it.)  However, Affadidah's regime guards are like zombies, eliminating most sense of guilt in killing them.
 * The Gray Champion will kill - but has to be led to believe there can be a "justified war"-style justification before he will kill just any opponent. Gang-rapists and sexual degenerate activists, however, especially when they begin bullying dissidents while calling their victims "the bullies," tend to really get under Gray's skin.  (His 17th-century ethos and worldview plays into that a lot.)  If one of them throws a beer bottle, out pops Gray's sword.  He has saved children from being molested at pride parades by paraders - and nearly caused a riot for doing so.
 * Jackrabbit is in Ciem's position. As are Meerkat, Mukade, Pilltar, Strawberry, and Hea Pang.  They try not to kill unless they have a sound "just war" argument or unless they are forced to by their situation.
 * Earwig, Extirpon, Botan, Navyrope, Purge-Flare, and Mapacha tend to be more anti-heroes, and have fewer qualms about killing. (Purge-Flare is actually a partially-reformed thug, even.)  Navyrope is probably the most heroic of this bunch, as he is also not very fond of killing.  But his knack for sabotaging equipment and using explosives to get out of tight spots makes him anti-heroic.  Extirpon is basically a Spawn/Ghost Rider figure, minus the actual deal with the Devil.

On the Stationery Voyagers front:


 * Liquidon is the member of the Bindaf 3000 crew who is infamous for how incredibly powerful he is. And he has been forced to kill his enemies quite often.  However, he does feel bad about it.
 * Being a lot less powerful, the other Voyagers rely on wits, prayers, and other non-violent ways to solve or escape from problems. They have seldom ever had to kill anyone, but they do suffer emotional baggage for having made other moral compromises.
 * Levio, Filforth, Gabon, and Maurice are angels serving Minshus. They are confirmed in their holiness and do not possess absolute free will.  They only kill when God himself puts a hit on someone.  And since it's God's will, it's automatically a justified killing.  So while they seldom ever kill, their kills are always righteous.  So they feel no remorse.  Only pity that their victims wasted their eternities.  It is a genuine pity for anyone who pisses off celestial authorities to the point that these four get called in.
