The Villain

The bad boy of the story. That one guy everybody but his cronies hates. Said he was going to destroy or take over the world or something like that, but actually doesn't in the end thanks to Hero or someone on Hero's side.

Villain Begins
There are many reasons as to why Villain fights Hero. Some include:
 * It's prophesied the two are supposed to fight each other
 * Hero inadvertently pissed Villain off by screwing up
 * Writer Said So
 * S

Villain V Hero: The Movie
The story mainly surrounds Hero getting ready to fight Villain by adventuring and getting stronger, but Villain, apparently already as powerful as they have to be, just kinda sits back as Hero approaches The Evil Lair. Villain's part of this is most commonly them checking in on Hero and sending out baddies whenever Hero is in need of a temporary conflict.

Villain Types
Typical: Some guy who thinks everything is too perfect and there needs to be someone who wrecks all that.

Timid: A weakling who tries to look like a big boy by building a "badass" building to hide in while his henchmen do all the work for him. His true colors show when Hero shows up and gets ready to fight. Yellow-belly up, Villain!

Vengeful: Hero (un)intentionally did something that aggravates Villain, something he believes calls for revenge. This could be murder VIllain's parents, blow up his hometown, or ruin something Villain holds close to him. Note that if this is before Villain is, well, Villain, this is The "Hero". Replace Hero with society to get Society As It Is.

Joke: The villain type here doesn't do anything beyond fuck around all day as they're not actually harming anyone and just being plain annoying.
