So this is the OOC topic for a currently under-development story about a group of would-be Super Villains and a few henchmen and their rise to an evil empire in their cliched and possibly unattainable goal of conquering the world! Mwaaahahhaahhaahhah!! *cough* So, where would the story start? Maybe with characters first starting with their reasons for becoming a Villain? Like their "origins" ? If so, where would it originate? Maybe it starts with underdogs at High School creating an "Super Villain" club at school to start their journey brought on by frustration and misguidance? The possibilities are endless! NOTE This is still underdevelopment, meaning the story is subject to change and this topic is currently serving to brainstorm. Character Skeletons

Reserved! >.< (Sorry....I'm not usually like this. Your roleplay idea just has me really anxious...) When the plot gets structured enough, I hope that you'll allow me to post a character?------ Edit: Also, do you think it would be alright to add some presumptuous antagonist super-heroes? I have a certain character in mind from my other story that I think may be a good fit....(Sorry if I sound condescending....) Edited by Matadamia, September 27, 2010, 4:56 am.

You certainly may post a character when we start opening for spots and you don't sound condescending in the least. And do you think we should have super heroes? Or would it be funnier to have no need for them as our group sort of fails without them. |

Well, I don't think that the super-hero group would want to be too involved with the leauge of villans....but, I think that it would be a good motive for the head super-villain. You said that it would start off in a high school setting, correct? I was thinking that the underlying reason that the super-villain group would be formed because of some sort of (one-sided) rivalry with a stereo-typical, "cool" super-hero-esque guy (who maybe sparks a bit of an inferiority complex in the Arch-villain). Does that make sense? I don't think I did a good job at explaining it, sorry. |

It makes perfect sense. And I just suggested the high school thing. We don't have to do that at all. I'm completely open to what we should do as the story, that was just an idea I had. |

Oh, I realize that you just suggested it, sorry. >.< So, would that be something that you would like? Could you please let me know if that's something that you're not interested in seeing in your story, that way I don't get too attached to the character...? |

I kinda like the origins idea. Perhaps it could be that the world, or just the area they grow up in is either A. really bad or B. really good If you go with A then they are just surviving and their abilities (if they have them and since its 'super' I'm guessing they do) allow them to survive better than anyone else. If B then they could be out to cause some chaos or for fun. Both opens up and allows either npc heroes, or if you feel like letting them then a player hero.

The Superhero? I could see it sure, and I wouldn't hate to see him in our story or whatnot. I think that's fine. EDIT: Krav - I almost wanted to toy with the idea of our Villain's not having powers per say, rather just them adorn masks or identities and plot against the world. You know, the bad guy who doesn't have powers, he just has a huge army and a bunch of dastardly plans? That would be us...sorta. But then again that's just a thought, if everyone thinks we should have powers or likes that idea better, we could do that. Or if we do go with "powers", maybe my character would be the only one that doesn't have any powers. For the comedic effect. Ooh, the brainstorming fun.

So you don't like it... That's fine, but I still feel like I should elaborate more on the "superhero" character.I don't really think that he would be too much involved with fighting crime, or foiling the Villain's plans. I think that he would really just be there for the comedic effect. After all, every Archvillain should have an arch-nemisis, right? Especially if the rivalry is all one-sided on the Villain's part, and the "superhero" doesn't even know his name. (So, the "superhero" wouldn't really be a "superhero", per say; it would be more like he would just be a guy who belives himself to be so utterly cool and non-chalant that the person who is the high-school villain can't help but hate him. Or something of that nature.) |

Hum, power and no power would work, and have a few ideas, but 'comedy potential' is only availible in a small number of ideas. As per most of my rps and most I join I may end up using Reia (I love that little girl ;P) Plus Reia is the easiest for comedy.hum, the potential directions for her is interesting ![]() Edited by Kraveing_volkf, September 27, 2010, 6:40 am.

Well I'm open to a bunch of ideas. And I didn't say I didn't like the idea. But yes, I think the idea of some sort of nemesis who's just more fortunate and seemingly "awesome" compared to our group while he doesn't even really know who we are would be quite fun. |

(*Hoping you aren't being sarcastic*) He wouldn't even come out that frequently; he would be more of a secondary character. Also, I'm sorry if I seem really stubborn about this idea; I'm not as attached to it as I seem. If people decide not to use it, that's completely fine.

I'm not being sarcastic. ![]() And I don't think you're being stubborn about it at all. I think we're going to be coming up with a fantastic RP by the time we open it. So anything else we may want to discuss? Or shall we start stepping in the direction of setting up the RP? |

Hm... Has it been decided whether this will be a power/no-power RP? Because, I honestly feel that it would fit the story better if the persons involved were regular humans. (Well, "regular" in the biological sense...) Plus, I think that it would more interesting.

I have a question that is more geared toward chars. Ok would psychotic (possibly homicidal) twin chars be aloud (I would play one Krav would play the other) If you need me to expand upon this I will As for the powers, since its in the 'realistic' rp area I would assume that no powers are aloud (unless your aloud to bend the laws of 'reality' here slightly so long as everything esle is real... |

Well I agree that I'd think it would be a better story if there were no powers involved. So I'd vote no powers. But it's a democracy here, so feel free to put in your vote. And I don't really know about the "psychotic thing" yet. |

'3' Oh.... Well, in my mind, I sort of imagined a group of villains with Zan as the head-hancho. If you want to be the only 'henchman', maybe the group could be something like an evil orginization with different people fullfilling different roles, and such....all under Zan's command, of course. |

Well, that was what I understood. But, you said that you wanted to be the only henchman and if everyone else is under Zan's command, they would also be his henchmen, right? Hm. Sorry, I think I've confused myself... |

No a henchmen takes orders from the villan and really has no free thought while other villans have actions of their own accord. |

Henchman - a faithful follower or political supporter, esp. one prepared to engage in crime or dishonest practices by way of service. (thank you Webster ![]() Im thinking that a henchman would end up being that big dude you used to see in those old batman cartoons. You know the big one that was just a goon, while someone like Harley Quinn would be counted as just a lesser villain but still seen as a henchman in the eyes of others (including Joker XD) Edited by Kraveing_volkf, September 28, 2010, 5:05 am.
