Villain You'd Like To Work For

Unread postby Minion » May 16th, 2010, 5:01 pm

So maybe you're an impressionable lad, or just want to cause havoc under someone whose style you admire. What villain would you most prefer to work for?

I'm going with the obvious: Hank Scorpio. Why? Well just listen to his theme song.

Thrawn from Star Wars.
Magnificent Bastard, Chessmaster, Strategist
And a reasonable authority figure?

Sign me up. If I have to fight for an evil empire at least I'll be fighting for one that's competent.

Damn you Minion, you picked the best boss ever right off the bat.

If I can't pick him too I suppose I'll have to go for Kane of NOD.

Damnit, the top two villains to work for, snagged already.

Ehhhh, I'd go for Luca, I guess. Although whether or not he's a villain is disputable at this point.

Ano... Well, I would say Lord Verdauga Greeneyes, but then I would have to serve his daughter when he died. That would be no good.
Perhaps Empress Berenene; once the Ambrose Reforms come through, Namorn should be an excellent place to live. Working for the empress ought to keep me safe enough until then.

Treize Kushrenada.

The man played all the factions against each other, conquered the Earth by himself and was a master politician. Not to mention he was an inspiration for all his subordinates and a perfect gentleman. Heck! He only was defeated because he allowed himself to be.

That is all, really.

There's also the SRW D version, where in greater forces put him in a heroic role, culminating in

I can't think of a villain I'd want to work under, because in the end it'd probably pit me off against one of the heroes and I'd get curb-stomped. Maybe Chao Lingshen if I had to pick. Both an Anti-villain and stylish.

All the villains that I like are insane psychopaths that would likely kill me for no reason, so no good choices, but if I had to choose someone it would be the emperor of mankind from warhammer 40k. Less chance of being killed by my own faction, or being offered as a sacrifice for daemons.

Helen Narbon. I think I'd get used to the poison in the coffee fairly quickly. I also think I'd do pretty well working under Tsukiko from Order of the Stick. Sure, I'd probably be turned into a wight, but she actually does care about her underlings, enough even to use the buddy system.

Well, I have no qualms with working for the elegant Treize Kushrenada. In addition to serving such a charismatic overlord, my death will not only be important, but remembered.

That's not the only one I'd go with, but the only one that jumps to mind at the moment.

I'm going to add the Man In Black aka
Spoiler: show
Smoke Monster from Lost as a close second. He's very charming and so very willing to murder (loved the way he killed Zoe). Also, Locke was my favorite character. After being the universe's punching bag for his entire life, I'm eager to see him, or at least someone who looks like him, totally wreck everybody's shit.

Firstly you might want to think about spoilering everything after Man In Black there incase people haven't seen all of Lost yet. Secondly that is a very good pick, I wouldn't mind working for him.

You know what? I have to commend you all. I really expected somebody to use the "I'd like to be self-emlpoyed" line by now.

That said, I'd go with Aldraia Dragonsong's first choice, except... yeah. Maybe if we could've gotten his son to take over, but I forget his name.

Being my own overlord would be too much work I'll just stick with my first choice.

Julian? No, that was the many-times descendant. *pulls out copy of Redwall and looks through it* Gingivere, that was it. He would have made a good overlord.

I already AM :psychotic:
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move."
