[LFRP] Looking for a Villain..

[Karianin]

Hey guys..

I'm looking for someone on the horde side to RP a 'bad guy' Blood Elf Death Knight.. I've had a storyline working for quite a while; and /emoting in the DK's actions with no face there is getting frustrating. Perhaps someone might be interested in helping out? just feel free to send me a message.. *smiles*

[Necroxis]

Yes the storyline is getting interesting, but a real DK like you said would be helpful.

[Necroxis]

**BUMP**

We're looking for a Blood Elf Death Knight to end a story arc with a month+ long storyline we've (Ranaynne, myself, and some non-TGN goers) been doing.

Please contact Ranaynne or myself in game or send one of us a PM for more information.

[Swerto]

Securo might be thought of as a bad guy, you know the whole anti-hero thing.

I wouldn't mind being somebodies foil.

[Boulderdash]

I'm not very well known for RPing... as I'm usually busy running instances or doing achievements, etc... but I've recently starting thinking about building a persona for my Blood Elf DK, and I think I want to try the challenge of actually playing a Villian.

Let me know what kind of plans you're thinking of. I might be able to fill this role.

[Kained]

I can play a extremely well sinister villan if you'd like I have experince playing a cold blooded Deathknight. I'm currently playing a troll Deathknight that shares the traits required in this roll all I would have to do would be just re-roll it to blood elf.

Feel free to PM me with physical appearnces ect and we can talk about this some more, Defenitly a roll I'd love to take.

[Illi]

Could you tell me more about this story?

[Naheal]

Damn my Blood Elf good guys.

[Karianin]

Sorry I was away a bit.. Personal life made some insistent demands on me for the past few weeks.

Thank you all so much for showing an interest!

As to the storyline.. It's a bit complex.. obviously I've hinted at it with a few creative writings on here. I'll also be honest in that when I began this storyline; I had no idea how long or complex it would become, and that it isn't all necessary cannon perfect. By that, I mean it may not be 'completely plausible' according to Blizzard's writings for the game. To give a rough explanation, however..

Gosh.. I don't even know where to start without the whole thing sounding silly and overly dramatic. I guess most RP is, though, right? :)

I think the best way to explain would be in the form of some creative writing.. I'll try to get some posted. Just bear with me! :)

[Swerto]

I'll read when you post, securo is sitting collecting dust because my story I had been building with him has mostly been resolved other than his "plan" which I really haven't figured out myself yet -_-.

Well, you've got Necroxis there, haven't you? So if anyone wants to talk about excessive drama and non-canon, it's just dueling experts, which means it's up to the jury for a finding of fact, isn't it? And that jury is you guys. If you're having fun and aren't insisting that uninvolved people accept it--which you aren't insisting, I know that *grin*--then the fun is ultimately all that matters.

Not saying I don't think lore is important--we do, and that's why Dunamis is selective about the backstories of our members--but it's really quite absurd to try to force others to conform to lore when it doesn't affect oneself.

Have fun!

[Necroxis]

Hehe....nothing about our story is against the lore. As the resident lore-nerd of our little RP group (Along with a certain rogue who I can never beat in a duel). :)

Perhaps the greatest stretch is the liberty I use when RPing my Warlock concerning his soulstones.

Well, since ya bring it up, the one issue is the use of Light in her current state--even if Blizz itself forgets that sometimes. Plenty of evidence for the Light being conditional on one's spiritual state, although it can be counterfeited (see Balnazzar)...But we can argue about that somewhere else. *grin*

That's 'bout it.

But what can I say? I've been brought into the game, too...It's an interesting story.

[Swerto]

As long as you feel what you are doing is righteous you can use the light, See: Blood Elves, Scarlet Crusade, etc.

Yes, but it won't be as strong as say the Light the Pure Paladins use.

Yes you are correct, but she really ISN'T using the Light right now, unless during the times I'm not there. Hence the whole Death Knight she tries to use instead of her Paladin when she can (To demonstrate her state of mind at the moment). But yes, the others are correct. Even Saidan Dathrohan (Who is actually possessed by the demon Balnazzar) uses the Light during the fight. Plus the whole...you know...Crusade.

[Swerto]

Yes, but it won't be as strong as say the Light the Pure Paladins use.
Yes it will, as long as you feel just as righteous as those Paladins. The Light helps those who are righteous, and righteousness is a point of view.

[Tiraline]

Yes you are correct, but she really ISN'T using the Light right now, unless during the times I'm not there.

She hit Seal of Command as a "threat" while we were talking once--and she was in "dark" state. She made that plain by referring to Tir and Aldaur as "Lightwielders." (Sorry, Rany, but I tend to rat people out. :p)


But yes the Light is weaker.

Fair enough. Still, it confuses me about Balnazzar having access to it, given that he knows he's wrong--and its accessibility being linked to one's body (Dathrohan) REALLY doesn't make sense. I guess Blizz just can't help themselves. Need...Advil...!

Of course, that's an argument for another thread, yeah? Right now, we're LF1M villain! Belf DK! Step right up!!!

Actually you'll be hard pressed to find a villain who doesn't find their goal righteous. Self righteousness is one of the cornerstones to being a realistic villain, not one of the comic ones who say "I MUST DO EVIL MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"


Everyone believes they are doing right and that they can do no wrong.

It's human... oh shit...

[Boulderdash]

Eh that all depends on the individual. Self-righteous Villains are usually the "misunderstood" type, or those who think they're doing something for the greater good. These peoples' actions are driven by a twisted sense of logic or morality. These villains are typically used in RP from what I've seen, however, since there is more drama to be played out for this type.

Motivation for villainous deeds has many different sources and underpinnings. Personally I'm a bigger fan of, and was planning to have Staph be, the purely megalomaniacal role, with a twist of revenge. There are plenty of people who crave power, and will do anything to get it. Perfect, real-life examples: corrupted politicians/corporate executives/military leaders.

For anyone familiar with the AD&D alignment type, of all the "X - Evil" character combinations, chaotic evil never really appealed to me. Lawful or Neutral Evil, however... now those seem to fit the profile of a true Death Knight.

[Tiraline]

Everyone? Hardly. I gave up on the notion that I could "do no wrong" a long time ago. And there are plenty of people out there who will openly say that they did wrong and they don't care, IN YO FACE whatcha gonna do about it? As a former criminal defense attorney, I assure you, there's a LOT of them. Most of the people in jail, I promise, earned it quite consciously.

Now. We're hijacking this thread. Back to you, Ranaynne...you got yer villain?

I thought he just cast Shadowword: Pain. I don't remember seeing him using the Light at all.

[Qabian]

In his Dathrohan suit, he does Crusader Strike, Crusader's Hammer, and Holy Strike.

Evil with intent to be evil is always fun. "Some men just want to watch the world burn." Hmm? You can use everyone else's ways of talking about right and justice and honor and turn it against them. Of course, that kind of villain runs up against everyone, the heroes, the criminals who actually have some kind of self-righteous purpose, and the other villains who have some sort of twisted greater good in mind.

Those type of villains are definitely my favorite as well. Which is why my warlock (one of the villains in my storyline) is so over the top and ridiculous. He is out for power and will stop at nothing to get it.

Its fun playing such a bastard :P

[Necroxis]

Just as a note to everyone, we already found our villain (s)

:P

[Tiraline]

He didn't really get ANYTHING off the couple times we've seen him. 'Course, we had an 80 with us each time, but...y'know.

And it was also fun when you let Tir make sarcastic comments to his face without melting hers. ;)

I tell ya, all he needs is a big handlebar mustache to twirl while he snickers.
