Care to play a villain?

[Grayell]

Presently we have three villains in game. Renquist, Lily, Ael'ondra.

No doubt you have noticed these characters don't have character sheets and are well, terrifying in terms of what they may be capable of.

Now, villains are a great way to play the dark side but aren't openly available to players as they require great modesty. It would be easy to have Renquist walk through the world and slay everyone, but that would be terribly dull.

But villains can make things interesting and you might want to anticipate Renquist and Lily taking a more... involved interest in the town of Wistvale and it's inhabitants.

If YOU would like to play a villain, I invite you to complete a thorough application detailing your villain and their motivations, powers and so on.

But I would also ask you are a regular player with a great foundation with us, for obvious reasons. That, or if you have a history with the Menagerie and myself in particular. I would also ask your villain be quite original and bring something new and nasty to our world.

Please, feel free to ask questions or submit your idea here

So may choices...

The man... ...not "technically" evil and "no wish granting" has already been mentioned.

Alex as a villian... ...already have plans for him...

Alex's dark side as a villian ala Renquist... ...Don't want to seem cliche.

Fleshing out the Fellowship... ...depends on if any survivie.

Evil thief... ...not sure what to do with him other than steal people's equipment.

Bloodmage... ...maybe...

Shade... ...maybe...

have to think about this one...

Maybe a body thief, akin to The Shadow King from X-Men... Now there's a thought... How do you fight someone in your friends body?

[Grayell]

Ah! Googly eyes! I am sure you'll come up with something bud

[Neko]

I think I'm liking body thief. The shade of a dead mage/demon/psychic/something possessing bodies on direct physical contact and using them to further his own ends.

[Grayell]

Well that would make for an interesting antagonist but you'd need a lot of avatars lol.

[Neko]

Na. Just one that cycles thru other avis, lol.

thinking of how to play it. Take over that PC or post what he's making them do and then let them post reactions? could be tricky

[Neko]

Option two, an idea brought back to mind by Gray's movie of the night...

A Frankenstein's monster type baddie... Originally wanted him to be good, but i could change that. His body parts decay and need to be replaced every so often...

Whichever you think is more interesting as a baddie...

Orp's Notes on Phillipa Grenton.

Name: Phillipa Grenton
Race: Cyclops
Age: 27
Physical Description: 5'9", green eye, long black hair, skinny build, typically wears eccentric clothing and jewelry
Acclaim Rating: ~80 for trading, smuggling and gang power
Talents: Thrown Weaponry, Thieving, Agility, Light Armor, Ingenuity and Liaison
Notes: Handle with caution. Caustic. Vengeful. Owes me 1000gp 2000gp, a yakow and my dignity. Almost never alone and nearly untouchable now due to her ingratiation with the vicecount. Will probably be a vicecountess herself soon. Known to play all sides of an issue and doublecross her way to the top. Soft spot for jade.

She's a merchant lord that used to be Orp's partner. She worked a deal with Dreder's Winery, one of the largest wineries known where she would sail to the glassmakers with half their money to buy bottles and Orp would sail to the lumberer and get the corks for the bottles. They took out massive loans because the rate given by Dreder's was great. Phillipa took the money for the bottles and ran. Orp was left with 49,212 corks which he had to sell with a discount to get them off his hands.

Would this work? A merchant lord who wants to buy the world?

[Grayell]

Is she villainous or just a shady merchant? She sounds much like Orp.

[Zaedus]

I think you would imagine who I would use as a villain if given the chance!

[Orp Boon]

Grenton is much more cutthroat than Orp. Orp has friends and allies. Grenton has temporary assets. She's much more ambitious and has been paying her way up the social ladder. Orp is frugal and stingy to a fault while Grenton is luxurious and wasteful. She has no morals; blackmail, torture and slavery are all valid to her.

Gray, if you don't think she'd be a strong enough villain I can just use her as a side character.
