I don't currently have any villains, I have a jaded healer and that's about it.
However years back when Neverwinter Nights (the original folks) was out, I played on a dedicated Dragonlance server that was custom build and maintained that lore.  I ended up playing a character that every other player managed to depise, she was Archmage of the Black Robes which took a ton of RP to get to and an in-game vote from all the respective mages. Â
I utterly loved that character as she had so much depth, the only problem I usually foresee with villains is they need to have:
1. A group of people willing to recognise them as powerful/problematic
2. A group of people willing to let them get away with some villainous activities
3. Time to establish themselves as notorious
4. And a person who's prepared to be oocly hated by players who are new to roleplay.
If I knew that folks were down for that type of villain again, I could certainly develop one, but I would need time to establish him/her before really launching into any huge plots etc.
...Although I quite like the idea of a cult (as mentioned on the first page), start off with one individual and then expand so you end up with a lead villain and multiple other notorious figures; that would take some work to set up though.
If you have any questions about the RPC just ask me or anyone else here. Many are very welcoming and helpful!
About your character idea that you may port over.....in a word...YES!
I have been there and done that on swg and loved loved loved it!Â
The three things listed above do need to happen, but if you have an honest, open discussion with those wanting to RP with you as this character ooc in forums like this, it will not be a problem. Not everyone will recognize you as a super villain, but do not worry about them. Find the group of people that will!Â
Start with me!  Ask LandStander too! Yes, these things would take sometime to establish, but as you have seen elsewhere, the pay off is HUGE!Â
DO THIS! START NOW! DON'T WAIT! GO FORWARD! MOVE AHEAD! WHIP IT GOOD!

Villains, those guys who you love to hate. Well currently I have Gioluchi Zaluchi, a cold, calculating Lala mobster who has killed his way to the top and has now cut a slice of Ul'dah for himself.
I also would love to find people to create the stereotypical anime lawless group of nomadic evil mercenaries, each specializing in their own unique way of killing. (Already made a group myself for fun with the character creator). Would definitely take a roll if a group like this was made.
Lizzo! I have loved your avatar from the first day I saw it! How classic. Takes me back to NES. Had to have that Black Mage to do what you needed to do in FF1.
My friend, you HAVE to go forward with this idea! Good gods when I read your post my mind raced with all those anime type groups that harass and do bad things while being cool at it. The first thing I thought of was the Warlords from Ronin Warriors!

Anubis is and always will be my favorite anime character! Dais is just way toooo cool to even put into words!
This would be sooooo awesome! Please do this! Good gods they would be the perfect fit to go against The Seven! It would be over the top anime good times for all!
DO IT!
Let me know!
