Some traits to choose from if you're creating a "bad guy" character or a villain. Works well in all different genres of literature, ALSO these can be used for someone suffering with inner demons, as these could be the traits of what they deal with.
Violent tendencies
The need to kill vs the want to kill
Lying or deceit
Anger (this can be over tiny things- remember that)
Loss of control
Hatred/loathe
Payback, karma
Psychopathic, sociopathic (lack of remorse/guilt)
Facial expressions, trademark (the Jokers trademark is the smile scars)
Weaponry (Sword, gun, baseball bat, knives etc)
Alcoholic/Drug addict
Pyromaniac (Someone who finds pleasure in setting things on fire)/Arsonist
Megalomaniac (Someone who has an obsessive desire for power)
Maniac (Someone suffering from mania, raving and violently insane) (I don't really like this definition because someone who is mentally ill-suffering from mania- should not be called insane for something they can't help, but yeah. It's fictional though!)
Blackouts (Doing bad things not in their right mind and coming to their senses with no recollection of the happenings)
Mixed-personality disorder
