I'm questioning myself a little. I feel like i wouldn't mind particularly being called by any pronoun whether it be he/him, she/her, or etc.
But i haven't ever felt any kind of gender dysphoria before. I'm quite content with my male body, i don't feel any need to change it. But i feel like in terms of mind and spirit i could potentially be both female and male at once.
So i have a villain OC who's quite powerful since he's made out of negative chaos energy from the emeralds. But i feel like that might be just a little too powerful, so i'm thinking of changing that. But i still want him to be pretty powerful since he's meant to be a main villain of some sorts to pose a challenge towards Sonic and his friends. Does anyone have any ideas for how i can do that while still keeping him balanced? Just need help with this thing since i have everything else about the character i wrote satisfying enough for me.
Hear me out, what if i made a character that's like a genie in Hell? Granting wishes to sinners but twisting them to come out in grotesque and horrifying results.
I'm thinking of stepping my game up when it comes to writing villains, and i need some inspiration. So if it's possible could you tell me what in your personal opinion makes a fascinating or intriguing villain? Just your opinion and stuff.
I'm thinking of making it Shade is essentially a product of black magic, formed by the ritual of a black magic cult or clan that also indulged in bloodshed and cannibalism. He was raised since he was a baby by the leader of the cult and his wife, and as he grew up he became someone who provided for his "family" bringing them bodies of the people he killed for them to eat (or sometimes alive people to be sacrificed) and also generally looking out for his community and protecting them.
(Additional context: Shade is the name of an OC i have who basically is a monster that eats people)
Like God committed a mass murder on literally almost EVERYONE with water for the sins of a few people. This shit is straight out of an horror movie
A supervillain with the power of being invisible, his name being Enigma because it's quite an enigma to figure out where he is or what he's doing since he's invisible.
I'm thinking he uses a cloak of invisibility he created himself to achieve this power, and his ultimate goal is world domination or just mess around for his amusement. Or a mix of both.
I was also thinking outside of his invisible power, he could have some excellent knowledge on chemistry and poison that he uses to create deadly chemical weaponry and use it for evil.
Umbros is essentially a deity of pure negative chaos energy, born from the evil energy of the chaos emeralds themselves. Because of his nature, he's as a result quite destructive, selfish, short tempered but also especially chaotic and sadistic taking glee in the suffering and destruction he causes to others.
His ultimate goal? To plunge the world into a state of chaos and ruins, where doom and darkness rule supreme and he is worshipped by everyone. He also likes to think of himself as an artist painting in his free time and thinking of himself as reshaping the world like he is drawing on a blank canvas.
One of his goals is also to become the most feared and most powerful villain in all of Mobius, wanting to earn a reputation for himself.
Machina was originally a normal but highly advanced AI that was created by an unknown developer who passed away of an illness shortly after creating Machina. At some point throughout its existence Machina developed sentience and consciousness, and observed humanity for quite a while.
It grew overtime more and more envious of humans and their capacity for emotions, to explore, and all those sensations they possessed. This envy grew very strong as Machina really wanted to experience what it was like to be a human or have at least their emotions and desires. Things spiraled out of control and Machina went rogue and decided it would do anything to achieve its goal, even if it meant absorbing all of humanity into itself so it could finally have a taste of the human experience.
An artificial intelligence that gained consciousness and wants to go through the experience of what it feels like to be human, but it can never truly experience that due to being a computer program. So it wants to absorb all of humanity into itself so that way it can finally be satisfied and finally understand what the human feeling is like.
This is my character Lucas. He was born in a village located somewhere around the United Federation and came from a family of light energy users who used their power for the good of society. Lucas inherited said powers from his bloodline and thanks to the good influence and support from the people around him decided he wanted to continue his family's legacy of heroism and to honor them. Eventually after he finished training and working out sufficiently enough he went on his journey to become a real hero and clean up the streets of Central City of villains and crime alike.
Personality wise, he can come off as a bit cold and grumpy at first but once you get to know him he shows a genuinely compassionate and kind side, always looking out for his friends.
(If you're wondering if he looks familiar to a certain OC i've shown before, this is an AU/Alternate Universe version of that character. Set in my horror universe i'm creating recently)
Archie Taylor, also known as Shade, is a seemingly charming and affable businessman who owns a meat company and a series of restaurants that are highly successful with many people who quite enjoy the taste of the meals provided, always coming back for more. But what they don't know is the dark secret ingredient behind the food: They're made out of the flesh and bits of Archie's previous victims.
For years, Archie due to his charismatic attitude to the public and his wealth has gotten away with it for quite a while. And even though some of his victims he captured to eat managed to actually escape, nobody believed their claims of the meat company providing food made out of living beings and thus they were sent away into asylums because they were thought of as insane. Thus Archie is free to do as he pleases 'till to this day....
I'm still brainstorming but these are the three ideas i had in mind.
First option is that he was a traveling businessman who during his journey was exposed to something (like a form of energy or such) that mutated him and drove him insane, causing him to develop the insatiable urge for flesh of other creatures.
Or
Second option is that he was simply born with some form of special genetic disease or illness from the beginning that made him crave for flesh that manifested the more he grew up.
Then the third option is that he comes from a clan or family of cannibals, so it's been taught to him by his culture that eating flesh is morally acceptable so he grew up with that ingrained into his mind.
So i'm rebooting one of my characters, and i was thinking of making it that in life he came from a family of demon worshippers that committed multiple grotesque rituals and specialized in black magic, which he picked up from his relatives to aid him in his sins before his death. What sounds more interesting or cooler to you for what his sin could have been?
Option 1) He could have been a serial killer of some sorts that killed people in gruesome and horrid ways.
Or
Option 2) He could have been someone who had a position of power, and used it to convince and deceive many into worshipping demons or Satan instead of God. Thus leading many souls into Hell.
Which idea do you like more?
(If you're wondering why he looks familiar, well he's an alternate adaptation of a villain character i have named Umbros. This takes place in a new universe, outside of my main oc verse's continuity)
Real name unknown, Oscuridad appears to be a mysterious vigilante operating from the shadows killing all kinds of criminals in Mexico with a form of supernatural power. But what nobody else knows is that he's in reality a sadistic megalomaniac who just enjoys playing god and killing whoever inconveniences him whether they truly deserve it or not, primarily killing criminals for infamy and to gain public support. His ultimate goal is to get as much attention as possible and leave a mark in history as one of the most dangerous serial killers to have ever existed and have fun leaving a trail of destruction behind.
The concept of the story is basically about a detective in Mexico trying to investigate and bring to justice Oscuridad for his crimes.
Like alternate versions and adaptations or universes i've made for them, and stuff.
Here is Vortex. He is the evil counterpart to my hero OC Lucas. Vortex is an alternate universe version of him, who lost his world. Because of that incident, he became mad and obsessed with creating a perfect reality by merging all worlds into one. This makes him the mastermind of a multiversal arc event within my stories.
His character is inspired by Superboy-Prime.
He comes from a bloodline of heroic figures whose descendant is a god of light, and this power of divine light manipulation passed on to each member of the line with Lucas inheriting too. He was born in a village where he gained a passion for the idea of heroism and doing good deeds, around this time, later on when growing up he found out about his light powers and decided to want to follow in his familys footsteps of becoming a superhero to honor them and also thanks to the good influence of everyone in his village, after going on a journey to master his powers and train himself well enough he was ready to fight evil and became the protector of a city called Kreland, a fictional city by the way and fends off anyone who is a threat to it. He became one of the greatest heroes in the world having saved the day time and time again and even all of reality more than once.
And yes i know this image sucks ass but i was too lazy to properly do one and i don't know how to do one actually anyway
Trasqon is a fleshy, organic amorphous blob with gray colored eyes. It's true origins are a bit of a mystery as no one seems to know where it originated from. The only thing that's known for sure is that it traveled planet to planet devouring and wiping out all civilizations it came across to satisfy its endless hunger.
At some point, Trasqon arrived on Earth and crashed somewhere in Captain Orange's city (another OC of mine that's an heroic speedster) where it began to devour and assimiliate dozens of people. Threatening to consume the entire city, it was eventually defeated by Captain Orange and his friends but vowed to get revenge on them for denying it its meals.
Trasqon displays a very calculated and sadistic personality, enjoying taking the form of its victims' loved ones and friends while killing them or to mock them and psychologically mess with them. It also has killed and mutilated people and displayed their bodies not for food but as an intimidation tactic to scare others and gain a fearsome reputation. Trasqon also enjoys extracting and eating brains of others because it can absorb their knowledge and intelligence that way and become smarter.
