Or is it just that you genuinely have no idea how you should/want to interact with people but want to explore a villainous dynamic in the hopes that something eventually forms unto itself? (Even with the latter I don't totally understand since without a plot concept then I don't know how you are hoping for things to progress for yourself).
Anyways, sorry if I am asking too many questions or being annoying! ;
Just in case you and I have a different idea of what I mean when I say "plot": My character has a backstory and defined goals/aspirations that drive him, but when I say "plot", I mean a story arc that is somewhat planned out in advance for multiple people to participate in.
If we are talking about the same thing, than I have seen villainous characters in other MMOs freely RP based upon their own goals, ambitions, and natural character interaction without having a major plot or event guide things along every step of the way. I wanted the same thing for my own character and am probably going to try seeking it out while drumming up a plot on the back burner.
I hope this makes sense. I am honestly a little confused by your line of questioning.
