Ha you people and being able to buy DLC XD

So while we wait on our august host to judge the contest (not shouting at you, Lug, I remember having to judge the fighting game contest), I'm kinda curious to see what inspiration y'all used for your evil character.

For mine... I just took Amy's personal nightmares (i.e. abandonment, being kicked back to her former life, losing her chance), combined that with the smallest push I could think of to unravel an entire story, aaaaaaaand the torture of being a hawk without vision.

Oh, and I threw in a healthy dose of torturing Plank, too. So. You know. XD

I changed it so Ben never got his second chance, then went Lancelot as fuck. 

The obvious inspirations there are his Semblance and Weapon names (Dolorous Guard and Joyous Guard), which were both named after the same castle. Dolorous Guard was what it was called before Lancelot captured it, after fighting through a ridiculous number of warriors to do so. Hence why that's the name for a Semblance that gets stronger with more enemies. And Joyous Guard was what it called after he captured it. 

Roundtable Order is obvious, but less obvious is the influence to his backstory; much like Lancelot's reaction to rejection from Guinevere, Ben didn't take washing out of the Beacon entrance exam well. And after a period of emotional turmoil, he dedicated himself to a humble cause. Except where Lancelot's cause was peaceful and stayed that way, evil Ben's was decidedly less so.

And thus with one backstory change you get Anti-Villain Well-Intentioned Extremist.
