Anonymous_Alcoholic malavaes Anonymous_Alcoholic Villains don't care what people want. You don't ask the people you're going to murder what type of death they'd prefer, you cave in their head with a crowbar. You're already failing and you've yet to start. If you couldn't tell, I have rather high expectations. Yo, chill out. I want to create an intelligent villian. I never said I would make my character ask how he would kill people please read more carefully, I meant during the creation stage. I want a villian that can cause a dent in the story. Not just any scrub. I want a Kabuto, a guy who starts as nothing and ends up being a main villain. You haven't seen my villians, but if you want to see a villian out of my own vision you wouldn't be able to take it. Winters just started, so I'd rather not chill out. I ******** hate the cold. I didn't imply that. You don't ask people what kind of villain you, the writer, want them to come up against. Tailoring an antagonist to the desires of others doesn't make it your villain, just some filler monster-of-the-week like those loser Bounts from Bleach. Villains develop, evolve, grow out of their environments and what you choose to put them through. You don't want a Kabuto, Kabuto isn't an archetype, he wasn't even all that threatening when he finally had to fight [but who thought he would win or even do anything, really?]. You want a manipulative b*****d, a chessmaster, someone with a excuse is sometimes sympathetic, if that's what you're going for, but some villains lose all sympathy when you prove they're beyond redemption. Villains run the gamut, so saying you want a Kabuto is just... Lame, to me. He didn't make a dent. He barely made a scratch. I'm not saying don't make a villain, but if you are then don't ask for any input. Don't tell us about it. The best villains sneak up on you, they smile and shake your hand as they stab you in the back and you accept it. If you wanna make a dent then I suggest starting there, otherwise you'll end up like the guy Az made and be kind of forgettable. [No offense, but I really hardly remember him.] Plus most of or members are a bit stupid. Don't ask what they want in a villain, you're just going to end up with Itachi or some other whiny Anime villain. tl;dr don't ask us, go with your gut. sweatdrop
I have a guy for the main antag in my Bleach Guild (still under construction) that will be what you describe. I really don't plan on anyone realizing he's even a main player until the final blow comes down. None but crew should know who, and what, he is :3 A master of dark rituals, amoral, but totally able to justify why he acts the way he does. In my opinion the evil guys who can make you wonder whether or not he is RIGHT is the best, because they're the most devious.

malavaes Tenshi_Ryukai -falls into the chatroom via hole in the floor- cheap wal-mart flooring... Yooooo, that just gave me a sick Idea!! If you are in a building and someone falls from the floor above. Did they fall from the ceiling or the floor?!
In a way, yes. Though it's more Floor, Ceiling, Floor
