I call almost completely ineffectual first villain @asynch sends out to defeat the heroes but I'm so absurdly bad at it that I'm not a threat within ten episodes. that right there is the aesthetic not that i'm humble or ever stop talking a big game about myself ouo
Yes, of course!!! :D pick some sparklies and it's a deal! don't be silly, of course I'm stealing my own makeup! but sometimes, it's nice to steal other stuff! and get paid! with stuff I like :D
To be honest I want to be this super cool villain in a really fancy and colorful outfit like I just stepped out of a JRPG but if I was a villain I'd probably be like Team Rocket and just suck at being a mean person, have all of my evil plans fail, be sorta pathetic in general, and you're more likely to feel bad for me than feel threatened. Also occasionally helping out the hero.
Well, as I said I like the dark magical girl. Because frankly I'll give a chance to nearly anything about magical girls. So, dark magical girl rival to the MC who will fight for most of a season before being heavily laserblasted and made a friend.
On the significantly darker side: I am the subtly terrifying business figurehead. All business, serene smile, perfect hair and even more perfect teeth. Corner office, tailored suit, spotless desk. I run everything and nothing and you know OF me but no one can quite pin down what I do, day in and day out. You hope you never see me and you DAMN well hope I never want to talk to you. But somehow, the company Christmas cards signed by yours truly are very personal. this corporation has its fingers in everything - mostly research and development, but ... into Everything. No one knows where the money comes from. Everyone knows the board are the real figureheads. The biggest categories in the end of year reports are the hundreds of classified research labs. No one knows what anyone else is doing. but I know. final form: Galadriel-level terrifying. There is so much fury and resentment, and a significant streak of sadistic curiosity. Don't make the boss angry. Rumour has it she isn't human. Sure doesn't seem to think anyone else is human. (in a non-modern setting: Morgan le Fay.) (super campy supervillain: the overindulgent drama queen villain who wears gorgeous gowns and has people killed with the flick of a finger. Is reputed to have magic. Probably seduced the king. Game of Thrones style.)
i think i'd be one of those reoccurring villains that's more a slight nuisance than an actual threat. like they think they're number one rivals forever and a huge threat but instead they're just that one guy who keeps turning up and throwing bologna at the protag. for example, the box ghost or jack spicer.
It's been a while, but I have an old answer to this one: I'm the one who shows up to fight the heroes for the sheer joy of the fight itself. No master plan, no grand vision, just some bloodknight who goes out to beat up heroes for the sheer joy of the fight --- or get beaten up by the heroes, either way works for them. Me being who I am, said supervillain probably would have some dangerous ascension plot of DOOM!(tm) at some point... only to skip out on the whole doomy part of it at last minute if they actually managed to attain the personal power. (And may or may not pause halfway through to pose for a passerby's selfie.) Key lines: "I didn't want power to use it, I wanted power to have it. And to show off of course; showing off is the best part." With sass and humorous accusation: "Why gain power? Well, when I was a kid I was told I could be anything I wanted. So I decided to become a god. You don't think my mother was lying to me do you?" "Your life... all of your lives, are beautiful stories full of hardship, and perseverance, and grand ideals. And what's a good story without a villain? Now fight me and let me see where those stories have taken you." And there is in fact a picture of the earliest incarnation of that: Meet Prometheus Smith, the "demonic, magical girl terminator wearing a Greek statue." (as the best, most irreverent explanation put it.)
Hmmm! My City of Villains characters tended to be, like, homeless kids who ended up classed as supervillains for such heinous misdeeds as Knocking Over A Seven Eleven While Obviously A Mutant, or the super shy student who tried to make herself sexy and confident by summoning a succubus and binding it into herself, and ended up getting BY PURE CHANCE the only succubus in existence who was nearly as shy and awkward as she was. but i have no idea what i'd want for a kintsugi supervillainsona! there's just so many options, and what i'd be doing as a villain depends so much on what powers I had to do it with!
Mine is definitely Buddhist morals gone wrong. Mercy has turned to genocidal nihilism. I aim not just to kill everyone and everything that lives. I aim to end it entirely without the chance of any sort of afterlife or rebirth. There will be nothing, deep and unending. Because if there is nothing then how can there be suffering? At the same time, however, pain is a very useful teacher. The gods cannot reach Enlightenment as they don't understand pain. Pain is the only way in which we learn to understand our lot in life. So the usage of pain, even torturous pain, is entirely fine if I have a purpose. My foes aren't tortured out of any sort of spite or want to get information out of them. Merely out of a dispassionate want for them to see things and understand them. Overall I am still very compassionate. That is my overriding thing. However I am too cowardly to actually face mercy head on and accept it for what it is. I want an easy way out when there is none. My malice is born of fear and frustration. I give very long and pointlessly dramatic speeches the boil down to "I am a nihilistic coward who needs to be kicked in the dick."
okay, guys you know what we would all need? villain songs big, dramatic villain songs I feel like we've all got concepts that would lead to having GREAT ones
picture it @Aondeug nihilistic speech in song form @Kaylotta terrifying opera duets for the people who are teamed up imagine
