I play a character that ends up annoying _plenty_ of people due to his antics and lack of respect for others. Still, the characters my character annoys the most are owned by players who are always affable towards me, the player.

I can attest to this.  :-[  I adore Sangwa, but that character makes mine want to scream and pull her hair out. 

Also, it's more credible to others if you grow in power slowly over time.  First kill rats, then noobs, then klyros, and eventually work your way up to more powerful creatures ~ Miomai

 She also ordered the desecration of the Temple of Talad... which only like 2 people know about ICly. <_< [Sorry Talad, please don't smite me!]

:o
He might not but I might now i dont feel bad about killing you in gossip  >:(

The way I see it, she's Anakin Skywalker.  I've tried to play her with that type of outline to her personality.  She's not 100% stable, or sane, but she's viciously loyal, and would destroy anything or anyone who harmed those she cares about. 


Sooooo.......Car wants to marry Anakin???? 

Evil people make life interesting 


Monala arches a brow. "Wait, so eatin' is like..." she shakes her head. "Er, nevermind."

Hehe... maybe when Caraick reads this he will talk about his evil alt, Marsuveus.  [Who I happen to think is one of the best evil characters in game right now]

D'awww....   :-[ I'm flattered, and though I may certainly disagree, as I know there's plenty of great evil characters around who are far better RPers than I...

I suppose you all would classify Car. as one of those "ZOMG GOOD GUYZ", but Marshy is most certainly a villain...

With Marsuveus, he was the first alt I created on a separate account, and I've always really enjoyed playing him, though at times, I do feel quite bad about myself  ;) What I've got with him is a Ynwnn, which is first of all the scariest lookin' model out there so far :D.  Because he's somewhere over 8 feet in height, that gives him his only real advantage when it comes to fighting, besides cunning and surprise, he's only got sheer power and size on his side, he's not an expert swordsman by any means, and is far from skilled with his weapons, falchions and knives. He's skilled enough to shank someone from behind, or at least try and hold them off at close quarters, using his size to his advantage.  He's good with Dark Way, and as Tessra, and a small handful of others have seen, he's got one or two nasty little tricks up his sleeve.  Because he's so attuned to Dark Way, he's got zero skill for any other way, and a very strong aversion to any sort of Crystal Way.

Without giving away too many spoilers in regards to his past, he's an insatiable, insane, bloodthirsty, maniacal, sadistical, unrespectful, unrelenting, hateful, vengeful, lost soul, and I absolutely love it  ;D Because he's in such a depraved state, it makes it very easy to link him in with different RP's, where people are lacking in a villain or "bad guy".  Like any other character, there's just certain things that aren't his MO: Slaving, rape, or even most forms of ransoming aren't his style... He's got no desire to slave others, because he has no need for money other than to buy the little that he needs.  He's no need for trying to rape someone, because a. Love, or even any watered down form of desire is just so repulsive to him, he's probably just puke if he had to kiss someone out of attraction  :P, and b. Me the player finds that sort of thing distasteful.  He would, and already has, tried to run several ransomings or kidnappings that lead to ransomings... Mostly, that's out of trying to spite either the ransom-ee, or the one's from whom he's being ransomed, not out of greed of any sort.  Again, he would, and has, dumped out tria in the furnace to make a point before.  

Again, I'm very flattered that someone finds Marshy to be a good villain, if that's at all the case, I suppose Marshy's done his job :) Sadly, he hasn't seen as much screen time lately as I would have liked... RL has kept me way too busy, and the amount of RP involving Car has also kept him out of the spotlight.  Still, I wouldn't trade up the chance to play Marshy for anything, he's always a joy to play.


I can attest to this.  :-[  I adore Sangwa, but that character makes mine want to scream and pull her hair out.  

I find that character to be one of the most dynamic and well-played characters that I've ever been able to play with. My condolences, Sangwa ;)

And yes, Jekkar for Octarch.
Hey look kids, it's the antichrist Marsuveus!
What? Doesn't he just look huggable? Aw, c'mon, give him a hug.

Not much I can say about evil that hasnt already been said. I think one of the main things that turns people away from the dark side (even without the level bullying) is that the huge amount of 'good guys' will eventually either gang up on you with all the other good guys, or will do it right away via OOC'ly revealing where the said evil event is taking place. Sometimes idc bout that, can't hurt to have a few extra people show up, but other times a HUGE amount show up, or it's just not a good time.

Another repulsion is that it isn't easy being evil. You gotta think up plans of action, and deal with the more you do, the more you'll be known and the harder it will become. Sometimes people who've never even seen you before suddenly know who you are and bleed in the information that you're evil.

I have a 'true' evil alt, whom i'm working on things for, and then my main Travosh is pretty much just a giant prick to anyone who hasn't already put in some effort, or whom he finds interesting enough to bother with.

Racism and hate! Down with the enki regime! \\o//

and sure, Jekkar for Ochtarch. Might as well.

*blushes, totally vanquished by the 'Adani's plot to soften Sangwa'*

Also, let the age of Diaboli begin! (It will, as soon as the models are out there.)
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

Get in line! Us hammerwielders are next; we can't practice brotherhood and hammerswinging without epic models can we?
Ardoin: So, do you drink moonshine?

You can't be serious! Hammerwielders are just fatter, taller dwarves. There's no epicness to that.

She has you there Ardoin.

Who do you guy's think is the race most suited to be evil? Not on looks, just racial ability.

Enki do not count, because i'm asking the question.

* Tessra points out that even if a Diaboli blushed, you really wouldn't be able to tell very well. 


And honestly... I think Lemurs, with their incredible aloofness, and Diaboli, with their hedonism, make some of the best profiled evil characters.  That being said, I think a good player can make any race just as evil, if they are smart enough to go with their race's traits and use the Dark Side of the Force.

I think I've been pretty successfully evil.  I don't do kidnapping or anything like that but, I've had others do it for me.  And generally, people like my character, he takes a command role whenever there is a particularly strong evil around and coordinates with people to try and topple it while sending his minions to try and contact the evil and work something out with them.

I guess he's not exactly evil but, he wants power and he doesn't really let anything get in the way.  At the moment though, the best way to get power is just to be friends with everybody xP  Still he finds ways.

That said, many people try to hate him because he does 'seem' evil.  But they generally end up being friends.

His vast depots of paranoia do get in the way some times, though.  Vast...Depots.  But I don't think he's hated.  After I almost gave Zorbels true death we were still friends.
