I'm still reading what everybody has to say, and don't yet have anything to contribute to the topic that hasn't been mentioned already. But, as someone who has been struggling to find a way to roleplay their villain character that feels right, I do want to thank you all. Something I would like to learn more about is how to better play as a villain. I have a pretty good idea about my character; where they come from, what motivates them, why they are the way they are, but when it comes to participating in events and the like I often feel like I'm being inconsistent. How obvious should my sinister personality be? What should the ratio be between faux civility and abrasiveness? How do I keep the character interesting? I want the character to be a "bad" person but maybe I don't want that to be their defining characteristic. Â These are the kinds of questions I struggle with, though I know the answer will be different depending on the character, and the person playing them.
