Unlike most I WANT the bad guy to win and be strong as fuck. If Aaron ever has a PC villian I want the villian to outclass Aaron in every way. Nearly always win the fights they have and be the king of mind games.Â
Makes it all more satisfying for that one day when the hero does beat the villian and is set at ease.
However, most people want to play the hero should any problems arise so they can get praise IC or hey, maybe it's just how their character would genuinely act in said situation. I don't know. Â But just my personal experience, if I were to play a villian, id play one that's a legit threat. Sadly a legit threat villian to most random you try to rp with will be assumed as godmoding.
Im actually missing a ton of holes and such in what im trying to say honestly atm and wish I had time to thoroughly break down what im saying but alas mobile typing is hell.
In a brief nutshell, from my experience people tend to want to be the savior rather than the underdog and if your villians even remotely capable of lolstomping them (I feel strong villians if done right make the best villians no question rather than similarly capable or weaker ones. The hero is supposed to be fighting a uphill battle) most assume"This random is godmoding lol im done.
This is a fair enough point. If part of a RP FC or linkshell, I think it would probably be best to establish in OOC that the villain is super overpowered. If this is all agreed by the participants, then the villain will not be godmodding. Thats the only viable way i can see that being done.
Thing is, my character is just a pompous spoiled brat. He's not a villain and anyone could beat the s**t out of him. I've had some branching stories playing a bad guy of this nature, but no where near the scope as when i play a good guy. Also playing a bad guy in the quicksand with random players is almost impossible as you just come off as aggressive. Even when i /tell them that my character is bad. I do worry/wonder sometimes if other players just think im a troll or a bad player because my character acts this way. In other words, their opinion of my character spilling over into their opinion of the IRL me. Never been confirmed but just a worry i have.
I'll be Aaron's villain if you want, muwhahaha.
