Yep, it's time for another writing exercise!

This particular thread will work a little different from the last, because as we all know, villains are less prone to tell the truth than your average character. For that reason, and because your antagonist is arguably your first or second most important character, the set-up will allow for a more extensive break-down of your villains. Muahahahaha!!

Let's get started.

I will ask a series of questions, and you shall answer twice. Your first answer will be in your villain's voice. Your second answer will be the truthful answer. I will ask one question each day. Please post your favorite fruit in the other category to show you've read this.


Ex.
Question: What is your favorite style of music?

Benedict: "I don't listen to that human trash."
Truth: Despite his insistence that the only good human is a silent human, he faithfully attended the performances of Wagner, and often listens to his emotive orchestral pieces when he is laying his most intricate schemes.

Victor (not his real name, though I want to retain anonymity)
Human by some definitions
Not given

Also, do you want me to do the same for Nightmare since he isn't exactly honest? I've been making him answer truthfully so far, though it might be better if he were to answer in this format.

@Lykhaos117

It's up to you. Whichever you think will help you more. 😊 Also, don't forget to read the rules. There should be something in the Other category. ^.^

@scorch_cloud222

Sorry! I was too excited about the forum. ^^'

Personality: Arrogant, cruel, impulsive, vengeful, possibly cares for one other person which is his primary redeeming quality

Edit: At first I thought you meant other category as in other forum. Sorry!

Villain Name: Red Tiger (Vivia Marks)

Species: Human (of the female variety)

Age: 25

Other: A superhuman with extremely heightened senses and superhuman strength and speed. She has vowed vengeance on those who gave her her powers, as they took advantage of her need to earn money to feed her family to keep her quiet about the illegal nature of the experimentation.
Her aggressive tactics used to cripple the company (which supplies goods to the military) have caused her to be labeled a criminal, and she is wanted by the police.
Raspberry?

There is something missing from your app... Please check the rules again. 😸

dada_dragon • 24 February 2015 at 9:58 PM

@scorch_cloud222
Sorry. I don't know what it is, but I seem to miss the "rule" every time I make a form for an rp. Doesn't matter how many times I look it over, I always miss it. I apologize. It's there now.

scorch_cloud222 • 24 February 2015 at 11:19 PM

Lol it's perfectly fine. 😸 I will add you to the list momentarily.

May I join?*jumps*

hashtagnight • 12 March 2015 at 2:35 AM

FINALLY
@scorch_cloud222

Name: Chordata "Chor"
Species: Demon
Age: Unknown
Other: Chor is a pink version of Ryuko. She is pink-headed with straight and long hair, covering one to prevent others from seeing her odd eyes. She has the clothing of Ryuko's, but reddish-pink instead of just red. She holds two scissor blades chained to her belt, so it is virtually unobtainable. She is a tsundere, but will be that way to other villains. After the stages of tsundere is over, she has no relationship with them. Chordata is insane, and has shadow manipulation, but can be used on dark or shady places, also at night. Basically she's a pink Ryuko impersonator (I HAVEN'T WATCHED KILL LA KILL YET)

I'm going to kick off this thread now that we have a few people.


Question: What is this villain's attitude toward the people who help him/her accomplish his/her goals (minions, accomplices, etc)?


Stonescales: "The humans have a saying that I am particularly fond of. "Dance, puppets, dance." Most creatures serve the dragons, they just do not know it yet. But they will."
Truthful Answer: As a member of the Council, he is practiced at the political game, and easily bends people to his will. Unfortunately, he is very awkward when it comes to genuine companionship. He has worn the mask of friendship for too long to recognize the real thing.

hashtagnight • 12 March 2015 at 5:27 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Chordata: Meh. They're like marrionettes to me. Maybe weaklings. I don't usually hang out with them.

TRUTH: She does hang out with them, but because of her tsundere personality, she is bitter upon meeting. Chor will say thanks under her breath, and dash right off. Tsunderes are weird.

dada_dragon • 12 March 2015 at 7:11 AM

Red Tiger:
I don't play well with others. I don't have henchmen or flunkies or whatever. I have me. You can try and tell me all you want that I need to depend on others. No. I'm fine living my life free of the drama that comes with trusting falllable human beings.

Truth:
She has trust issues.

appleblizzard • 12 March 2015 at 7:18 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Villain Name: Kurai
Species: Half-demon (female)
Age: around 248 demon years. Somewhere around 22 in human years.
Other: Kurai has long black hair let loose and cold black eyes. She has many minions made from parts of her soul. They are called Hinote, Kaki, Heru, Inferuno and Takibi. Hinote is the youngest of appearance, only a child and has long purple hair. Kaki is next in size and she has two punches of cherry red hair. Heru is the next, the male demon with short messy blue hair. Inferuno is next and she is 1 minute younger than Takibi, they are twins with strawberry pink hair. Inferuno has long hair and bright eyes but Takibi is very rebeleous and has chopped hair and duller eyes.


Can I join?


Kurai: They follow my orders and obey. The younger they are, the more intelligent they are. Takibi is someone I need to keep an eye on. If they die, they die. I can always make more of them.


Truth: Kurai values all of her helpers equally and Takibi is the one she trusts most. Hinote is someone that can read thoughts so Kurai has to be careful about him. Other than that, she would never harm them unless needed.

kiryko • 12 March 2015 at 7:47 AM

@scorch_cloud222
Hunter:Fools.It's really funny to look at their smily faces knowing that most of them only want their piece of pie.But if they like to be used why should I stop them?*smiles*And if they fell it definitely be their choice...Goals,accoplishments...If you have plan it would be ruined.It always happen.Trust me*smiles and leans back on his chair*
Truth: The only help he actually take is a help from his companion.But even being tethered to her and treating her as his only friend he often uses her in achieving his aims without het permission.
P.S.In Russian it's called to have twisted language.It's very unusual to explain things on language that' not my native:'(But that's great practice.

scorch_cloud222 • 12 March 2015 at 11:17 AM

@Appleblizzard

Feel free. I added your character to the list. 😊

appleblizzard • 12 March 2015 at 12:27 PM

@scorch_cloud222 thank you!

lykhaos117 • 13 March 2015 at 6:03 PM

@scorch_cloud222

Victor: It depends on how well they serve me as accomplices. (Smirks) If they help me, good for me; good for them. If not... Would you like to find out? (Laughs)

Truth: Victor may initially help those who serve him as accomplices if he sees use in them to serve his goals and if helping them doesn't come at any cost to himself., though most join him because they have the same goals If someone defies him or doesn't seem useful enough, he will not hesitate to physically punish or even kill on occasion unless he sees high potential in the accomplice. The level of harm he inflicts also depends on his mood; if he doesn't see harm to himself in doing so, he will sometimes hurt others for his enjoyment or out of anger if he doesn't have an enemy to harm; sometimes, he will hurt accomplices just because he's bored. The reason why he still has supporters at all is because he's powerful and determined, and many of his allies consider potentially being under his protection even with its risks better than being left at the mercy of the *s.

Question: If he had his biggest living obstacle (hero, rival villain, whoever) at his mercy, what would he do?

SS: "My biggest living obstacle will not be living long. He and the rest of his meddlesome race will fall before me."
Truth: Stonescales's biggest flaw is underestimating the competition. As a result, he would likely ignore his enemy if he thought it wasn't a threat in the immediate future. He also has a weakness for monologuing.

lykhaos117 • 13 March 2015 at 8:14 PM

@scorch_cloud222

Victor: I don't have one main individual as an obstacle. My enemies are goals, not obstacles; they should either be killed or taken as slaves. Now allies can be obstacles, and what I do with them when they become obstructions depends on their capacity to improve themselves. Most get better eventually. If not, they're killed or left to fend for themselves.

Truth: Exactly what he said (at least in the beginning of the story). I plan to have him get a main opponent at least temporarily, and what he does to that opponent when he gets the opponent in his power can't be posted on a forum because I haven't decided on all the details or even if I'll use this idea, the details I have planned out are very graphic, and I want to remain anonymous online if I decide to include it once the story gets published.

dada_dragon • 14 March 2015 at 12:32 AM

Red Tiger:
*laugh*
I would make them regret every last minute of cruelty I was subjected to. I'm not going to go into details, but it involves rabid animals. And lemons.

Truth:
She talks big to hide her emotional scars and likes to pretend that she overcame her fear of them, but inwardly questions whether she could bring herself to face them.

(That sounds so sappy XD)

kiryko • 14 March 2015 at 6:11 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Hunter:If there is something hard to be solved,well let's find somebody who can do this for me.Anyone could be motivated when you have a kea to their soul.*smiles*

Truth: He uses his loyal people to solve like anything.But when it happens something really tough he acts alone and in this case by "motivation" he means any methods that could work.Not counting with moral or law.

appleblizzard • 16 March 2015 at 4:43 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Kurai: "I would fight them and reach my limit. I would definitely win, no problem!"

Truth: Kurai would experiment but not for long. She would send one of her minions to fight for her and recover first before attacking with more strength.

hashtagnight • 16 March 2015 at 6:40 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Chordata:
Haha~ What did you say? I have no mercy for anybody~! I could let them rot to death and wouldn't have a carefree in the world~!

Truth:
Being a tsundere, meaning that she is nice on the inside, her mind says "Save them" but her body says "Don't even think about saving them" so basically she does care, but she is mind controlled by her own body.

Question: Where would you go if you were in trouble and needed to be somewhere safe? (Describe their HQ, in other words)

Stonescales: "My territory stretches from the southern-most tip of South America to the northern-most end of the Andes. Do you really think I would go through all that trouble, if I wanted to tell everyone where I nest?"

Truth: He has a nest in Argentina that extends deep underground. His mate and hatchlings live in the deepest areas, but there is an impossible labyrinth that prevents anyone from wandering in. Unlike certain members of his race, he has no human slaves, and humans that venture in do not come back out.

lykhaos117 • 18 March 2015 at 2:05 PM

@scorch_cloud222

Victor: Nowhere is safe right now, though I'll change that. If I'm in trouble, I have nothing or no one to rely on but my own strength.

Truth: One huge problem Victor faces is the lack of headquarters. Since he was captured for a while, he lacks knowledge of current locations and geographical features and, like Nightmare, is faced with the danger of being recaptured after his escape. The places he's most familiar with belong to *s, which he considers to be his enemies. He will eventually get headquarters, though.

Hunter:I'll go home.The safest place is were we make it.
Truth:His house is protected by guard he personally hired.Being tracked makes no problem to him as to turn chasers to prey is his fauvorite game.
P.S.This akward feeling when you see someone naming Villain like your mate.Two of them in this thread XD.

dada_dragon • 19 March 2015 at 12:39 AM

Red Tiger: Safe? Safe is not a word in my vocabulary. Between the authorities breathing down my neck around every turn and the GeneSci corporation hiring bounty hunters and hitmen to come after me, I don't really have much time to feel safe...

Truth: A cheap apartment in an area of the town where police presence is minimal.
