Here's some stuff I came up with on my again because, again, I have entirely too much free time on my hands.
ETA: this is for anime and games, not real life
The Law of Limey Fruitcakes:
The whiter a character’s hair, the more bat-shit insane they actually are. They will also be thoroughly evil and dedicated to the enslavement/destruction of the world. Reasons for this will vary from “completely insane” to “it’s fun.” Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, Victor Delacroix from Chaos Legion, and the entire Lotus Clan from Battle Realms prove this point.
ETA: How could I forget Bakura? He's the one who ahem, inspired, The Law of Limey Fruitcakes to begin with.
Corollary One to the Limey Fruitcakes:
Old people with grey hair will be irreparably insane but also so feeble and dim-witted as to be ineffectual. Yugi’s grandfather is an excellent example of an old man whose only function in the plot is to get Yugi into trouble.
Corollary Two to the Limey Fruitcakes: (the Sampson Principle)
The power of a Limey Fruitcake is directly proportional to the length of their hair. Thus Limey Fruitcakes with long hair have great power. Fruitcakes like Bakura who still have short hair are thus deprived the bulk of Fruitcake power. Beware, however, for some Fruitcakes are so insane that they perceive themselves to have longer hair then they actually do which in turn grants them more power.
Corollary Three to the Limey Fruitcakes: (the Almighty Plot has turned against them Principle)
Despite their near god-like power the biggest and baddest of the Fruitcakes are easily dispatched by the hero’s usual Sword to the Face strategy. What causes this is unknown but is generally attributed to The Long Arm of the Plot finally catching up with them.
