◼ WEEK 04: As the first round of secondary plots are coming to an end, let's discuss antagonists. So far there hasn't been anything too serious in the RP but what are your thoughts on antagonists? What makes a good villain for you? Do you like them unhinged, do you like them cold and calculating? Do you prefer an NPC villain or one who is directly portrayed by another player? What's good about being bad?

@Lord Wraith

I think a good villain is not necessarily one that is powerful or even intelligent, but a good villain creates complex multifaceted issues for a hero to overcome. Confrontations between protagonist and antagonist need not even be violent. I actually like the way Timothy Zahn said it in his commentary for Heir to the Empire, something along the lines of the fact that each side should have a few tricks up their sleeve and that each contest between enemies should play out like a chess match.

The Joker is a great villain for Batman, he also puts up a surprisingly good fight against the entire Justice League, but as clever and unpredictable as he is, the confrontations are much more personal when they are specifically against Batman because of their shared histories. I always think that a good villain should have some sort of opinion of the hero, whether they've interacted personally or not.

I'm working on my sheet and my new potential PC is likely to be a mundane, with a little bit of Batman and a little bit of the Scarecrow in him. While my intent is not to play him as an outright villain, I can easily imagine him operating outside of the good graces of the other characters.

I'm just gonna go ahead and rescind my application.

This is the story of your character's life, their defining moments nd how they made it from the womb to where they are now. You can include as much other details as you think is necessary but don't go overboard and spell everything out. Sometimes its best to show through the IC than to tell in the CS.

VIGILANCE: Blood & Justice - A Superhuman Roleplay (Always Open)

Hey guys. status update: I'm presently a full time college student with a part time job. I've not lost interest in this, but I have been exceptionally busy finding a personal equilibrium. I'm flipping a coin, so to speak, as to what I'm going to do about my character application since I burnt my first review and I don't want anything redundant so I'm likely to take just a few days to scratch together a new app. Cool stuff going on, guys.

@BrokenPromise I love that Captain is misspelled.

@Gowi What if he just assumed Xavier's identity after he fell in a coma? Or he just led the X-Men as J'ohnn J'onzz?

Either of those ideas work?

J'ohnn J'onzz, 208 (b. 1760)
_{Vigilante based in North America

One of the main reasons that Earth is not as integrated in interstellar trade and galactic government has less to do with humanity and more to do with their neighbors, the Martians. Mars has a long and storied history brimming with stories of violence and political intrigue. The planet's two species, green and white martians, clashed frequently and belligerently. Unfortunately, their feuding came to a grinding, choking, and suffocating halt.

The Martians were killed off by a bio-weapon of sorts, one that forces a Martian to self-destruct. This plague reduced the population of either breed from billions to dwindling dozens, who had happened to be off-planet. Among the survivors, there were differing ideas about what to do, though two were most common: Some chose, cosmic conquest, others silenced their own cries in suicide. J'ohnn J'onzz chose neither. He decided to move to Earth.

In 1955 he came to Earth, befriending a discreet few humans who caught his interest. He spent years exploring, soaking up the culture--but then something occurred to him: These humans were just as divided as his own people. He felt it would be inappropriate to outright force these people to love each other, instead he opted to masquerade as a man--then as many men. He responds to many names: John Jones, John Deer, Dwight Eisenhower, Paul McCartney, and Charles Xavier, among them.

In the year 1967, under the guise of Professor Charles Xavier, he shocked the world by revealing that the Mutants that baseline mankind had come to hate and fear were actually the evolution of humanity: A subspecies that had no ailment whatsoever. When the world had a sour reaction to that news, he decided that further action was necessary to encourage Homo Sapiens to embrace their baby brethren.

He assembled five of these mutants, whose mutant biology provided something of an X-Factor. Named in reference to algebra, these would be his X-Men, a group of sterling youths capable of becoming whatever they set their minds to. Though there are actually a great many micro-biological differences between Homo Sapiens and Homo Superior, the public had taken note of their X-gene, a distinct and exclusive unit of genetic material found only in mutantkind, as Sapien and Superior had opted to name them officially and non-maliciously. By presenting the X-Men, he intends to enable man and mutant alike to steer clear of his own people's fate.
