There's a lot of mention of playing morally questionable characters, but I think the idea (and correct me if I'm wrong and asserting things that are untrue) is how to play antagonists as opposed to just "bad guys."Well, for Krell, he's an antagonist to Ruru. That's pretty much it. His primary goal is getting to Ruru. Makes rp a bit challenging since they are both mine. XDÂ But I can always play out any encounter here with the two on this site. But....nice thing is Krell can always engage with Ruru's contacts and friends, expanding his own circle a bit more, and perhaps in time he will find another character that rubs him the wrong way.
It's possible to play someone with a sociopathic streak, or is willing to kill if they're slighted at all, or someone who decides all crimes are punishable by death regardless of how minor an infraction. That's not the same as playing an outright player-character-opposing antagonist.
 I think he will be fine, and I can still play him as a straight villain, since he is good at play acting to be civil.
