Chiming in as a resident villain!
It's all subjective, some people think villains shouldn't be this, or shouldn't be that.
I find the scariest villains to be that ones that can be related to, in some form or fashion. It brings the whole sense of blurred lines into the forefront of characters, and their development.
There's not a right way, or a wrong way. But villains that have literally no reason for their motivations or goals, just elude me completely. I need a reason -why- people act a certain way, which, granted could be down to my education as a sociologist.
As for the whole ERP thing? Literally every other 'villain' I have encountered, or fellow strange individuals aren't like that. I think it's down to luck of the draw, and who you find yourself interacting with. You can't judge an entire group of roleplayers on one or two interactions, it's just entirely unfair.
I won't divulge the details of my character, or why she's necessarily villainous, as I believe my RPC reflects that, and I've noticed people could care less. I just believe there's reason behind most things, as far as logic goes - though I'm not dismissing another's views entirely, it's a matter of opinion, and what one prefers to see/read.
