Anima you should collab with me - we still need to do Sofia/Emily! 

I am working on an idea for a villainous character. I want to do a sort of second-in-command type (what TVTropes would call "The Dragon") but I'm concerned about avoiding traditional villain motives/behaviors. I've done the noble demon "I have secret desires for good but have to do evil to survive" thing, and I've never been a fan of the "I'm just out for myself/I like to watch the world burn/it's everyone else's fault I'm evil" theories of evil. I'm trying to find a more unique set of motivators/goals/beliefs for a character, something that isn't necessarily easily definable by the traditional notions of evil/good. 

I just haven't come up with something solid yet.
