How does RP Linkshell works for those who play the villains? I can't imagine a IC mercenary Linkshell, for example, would keep a person who is antagonistic towards them all. Even if they're a villain undercover, the gig is up after the eventual betrayal.

Is a villain destined to be forever Shell-less? Or is there a Villain Linkshell or somesuch?

I had this particular event happen to Deirdre. She was an undercover Garlean spy for the longest time, and ended up joining a shell called Everwatch well after she had abandoned being a spy 'for the good side'. After establishing relationships and ranking within the shell, it was eventually let out that she was a spy (even though she had stopped working for the Empire).

As a result, she was cast out of the shell, and probably 85% of the members still think she is on the bad side and are wary of her.

It really depends how you play it out, but it's more fun going along with what would happen to your character than planning your character around being in a particular shell. When being an antagonist, you have to be prepared for people to hate you.

That being said, being in a linkshell isn't going to make or break your RP. A lot of us are freelancers, and some of us get more RP than those in shells! So far, I have not seen a villain shell, and I really don't know how that would go over.
