15. Truth of the matter is, crosses pre-date christianity. Even in the very begining of the cultural development of man, could we find crosses. In Japan crosses were also used for something pretty similar to the crucifiction. Someone using a cross on a character, it may not be just for the "goth" effect, but it may also be to represent suffering, sacrifice, or even just a cultural reference. Remember, the cross may remind christians of Jesus, however, to many people, it may just remind them of the suffering caused by a barbaric act of execution.
You know, the way the cross is seen is somewhat similar to, say, the swastica. It's now known as a Nazi symbol, however, the Indus used it way before the Nazis came along. And the Buddhists also used similar (if not identical) symbols on maps, to indicate the presence of a buddhist temple in that location.
