( I found a loop hole)

Yeah mine's straight up evil. His name's Neirym. He's a not very powerful jack of all trades god that clever, very charming, and extremely handsome. One of his favorite powers is sort of like hypnotizing. Sort of causes people to dissociate based off of what I know about it.

I like all of them! They sound fun and interesting

I tried to make Neirym a great villain that would be loved by all. But instead he ended up as a bastard that makes me want to Pray to the porcelain god. But if I tone down his evil he's great for a laugh.

Yeah we love those super evil villains in an odd way don't we? (although he could be absolutely sickening. I don't know him well enough to know)

We do

We should make a list of deaths that would be cool put into writing and whenever somebody needs inspiration they can tap into the death list

Ah yes! That's a good idea!

We should! That would be such a great idea, and a good help XD

I'll start it off with
Submerged in concrete

Submerged in concrete

Stabbed by a mind controlled loved one.

That's grim…
I'll have to go with injured severely by an explosion and then dragged to a secluded corner by your best friend and tell her to run and that she can come back and save everyone by lying to her about a time loop and then dying shortly after she leaves because the time loop was fake and it was all so you could just save her because you care about her so much crushed by a falling bookcase! _{^{Whoopsie put one of the actual character deaths from my story in there!}}

Hung upside down with slits down the body.

Boiled in oil

((imma revive this cuz every author needs a death list they can go to without being arrested))
Having their eyes ripped out and bleeding to death/the wounds getting infected and they die from that

Having molten metal poured onto or into you.

Alright. Anyone else have an actual Character that's straight up evil?

Oh, most definitely! Take a look at Clownface and William.

I have a slightly insane character that would go to any lengths to make sure my mc would still belong to them.

Sounds cool (and very scary) I personally have no completely evil characters. Like my villain is just doing what he believes to be the right thing but in the process is destroying the lives of thousands of people. Darling boy just needs to get a little common sense, that's all.

This is true for most villains I think. In their perspective they are the good guy and the hero is the villain.

… Does common sense even exist, though? I mean, so many characters - and people in general - are idiots. I think common sense may be a myth XD

To be honest I think you're right XD

Agreed haha. I haven't seen common sense in 16 years.
wait…

I like this thread.

Ya know I do too.
Random author question:
How many characters have you killed off and nearly cried doing so?

So far? Just two; Connor Flayme and Oliver Darker. Both characters are elder brothers to the protagonist for their individual stories, and had similar relationships with their younger brother to the one I have with my elder brother.
