Villains nowadays are fairly formulaic and have become boring. Let's give developers something to keep them on their toes. Create your own villain. Explain what makes them such evil bastards and how they came about.

Who cares about protagonists/heroes, they ruin all the damn fun.

My villain is named Chet. He was born into this world a good child, the normal offspring contrary to both of his parents who have dwarfism. On a seemingly normal day at Yellowstone National Park, Chet's parents were suddenly swept away in the talons of an American Bald Eagle. Unable to do anything but watch his parent's tiny legs flail about as they were carried into the wilderness. From that day forward, Chet vowed that he would erase every one of the eagles left in existence until he found the one responsible. Chet ran into the woods living off of berries and sometimes mushrooms that he found. One day after a particularly large feast of mushrooms he began to go into toxin filled delirium spewing random baseball statistics, and claiming the 3rd Reich was actually led by a clan of particularly mean spirited porcupines. Whilst in the state of euphoria he kept eating the mushrooms he had gathered that day until he had filled his body to the brim with it's hallucinogenic chemical. What usually would kill a moose, did the opposite for Chet. He was now trapped in this world confusion and from then on vowed, not only to kill all bald eagles, but to rid the world of every endangered species, because "Why Not?". From then on he was known simply as The Fungi.

He goes around giving people seizures and then ninja'ing their ideas.

He is faster than anyone else.

And he is in reality...

He'll be a really really evil super genius intent on taking over the world. I'll call him Doctor Evil!

Although I have this nagging suspicion that it's been done before...

My villain's name is Lord Foosball. Back when he was young he was the local high school champion of Foosball, and had an impressive I.Q. But everyone made fun of him for that and constantly teased him. He eventually grew fed up with everybody, so he donned a cut out soccer ball and became an evil villain. With his personal army of robot gnomes and his twisted pet 'The Blanket Monster.' He took over the school and slaughtered everybody who mocked him. He is now second in command of the villainous alliance C.O.M.A (Collection.Of.Mischievous.Associates) being lead by a mysterious alien wizard. The alliance plans are currently unknown.

NAME: Garlock The Destroyer

AGE: Unknown

RACE: Unknown

APPEARANCE: Varies. He prefers the look of some kind of overlord, so you will see him in black armor with gauntlets, a horned helmet, and evil-looking boots. On other occasions, he will be wearing leather armor with a navy-blue traveling cloak with metal horns poking out of the hood. Sometimes, when he's in vacation, he'll be wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt with short and sandals, wearing a cape and cowl to obscure his face. The one constant here is that Garlock never shows his identity to anyone. Even if you caught him in the shower, you'd find a humanoid body with a black-fire head with two glowing red eyes. He will also insist that he's not human, despite that appearance, though no spell set specifically for human beings will affect him. Notable traits include the glowing eyes and deadly spells, being some kind of a mad warlock. (He's a bit like Richard, actually. Or Black Mage...)

PERSONALITY: A madman, a paranoid, and a sadist walk into a bar... Garlock is a being who does not approach the world with the kind of logic a human would have, or any normal fantasy creature, or an alien, or any number of other things. He has a distinct loathing of humans and human-like creatures (further evidence that he is not human) and has a penchant for the evil overlord shtick because "It's fun!". What is known about Garlock is that he's a villain without all of his bananas in a row. He does things, horrible things, just to see what would happen. He kills travelers and passerbys so that he can sit on a pile of corpses and freak people out who're going by. And he is especially obsessive with the learning of new magic, alchemy, machinery, and combined techniques of all those arts for his latest doom-scheme.

ABILITIES: Nobody knows how long Garlock has been around, so it's hard to tell what exactly he can do. All we know is that if it's weird and half-impossible, it must be his doing. Garlock is versed mainly in destructive magics, able to hurl lightning, fire, ice, chickens, stone, rain, and darkness variations of the previously listed. He has summoned demons, shadows, the undead, golems, and random forms of monsters. He constructs mechanical knights and bizarre machines whose nature can probably twist the fabric of space or make coffee. He isn't backwards-living like Merlin, but seems to know things from beyond his timeline. He can fight in hand-to-hand with magic increases in capability there. Most notably, he combines all of his learned arts to create horrible contrivances and inflict them upon anyone that's watching.

HISTORY: Nobody knows Garlock's full origins, so here are a number of things that he's DONE.

{1} He has killed, pillaged, and stolen...being rather picky in what he takes, because it's obviously for some purpose or "Oooh, that looks nice!".
{2} he is responsible for roving bands of...death knights, shades, demons, zombies, skeletal knights, skeletal demons, golems, giant chickens, shadows, mechanical knights, alchemic fusions between man and machine...that are also knights, twisted abominations, and Liquid Flesh.
{3} It was Garlock who tore open rifts to the Goblin Dimension, the Gnoll Dimension, and the Dragon Dimension...all of which are notably filled with nothing BUT those creatures. Thus, they flooded a given area with thousands of those monsters. (This was all to inflict the High Goblin, High Gnoll, and High Dragon - giant-sized versions of the monsters - upon the world.)
{4} In an attempt at time travel, Garlock made a sonic generator out of crystal that could shatter most anything for miles around. (He did not travel through time, though, so it was a great disappointment.)
{5} When a village ransacked his castle, he transformed said castle into a mammoth golem and stomped the countryside flat with it until some kid with a sword climbed up and hit it in its one weakspot.
{6} During vacations, he has been known to set butts on fire as a joke and splatter an entire bar's worth of patrons just to get a quiet drink. (Do not disturb Garlock at rest. Ever.)
{7} During a particularly hot summer, Garlock attempted to open a gateway into space and suck out all the air from the world. Nobody knows why.
{8} At one time, he attempted to raise the primordial gods of darkness, chaos, and flesh to do his bidding. They did not respond in kind.
{9} There was allegedly an attmept to control weather with a machine powered by ancient magic using alchemic runes and alot of blood. He was not directly in control of the weather, but not long after there was a horde of elemental demons at his beck and call.
{10} Paris, France. It's all his fault. Every inch of it.

Lord Haberdasher III:

Lord Haberdasher III is a violent and quite jolly man with little more to do then spend his massive fortunes living out his fantasies. Mistresses? Check. PRivate Military? Check. Endless Supply of Air Support? Check. Unlimited funds? Check.

Whatever you do he'll always survive. There will always be more PMC Mercs and there will always be random carpet bombing of anything he doesn't love. Basically the next Call of Duty villain.

HEY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sadly, this is a trait shared by many humans.

John the Accountant.

He got tired of heroes destroying the economy with their endless loot farming, and decided to rid the world of heroes.

His first act was to befriend a orphaned farm boy with a mysterious past and his childhood sweetheart, providing them with financial assistance and hiring mercenaries to join their quest to recover the ITEM OF ULTIMATE POWER from Dark Lord GENERICO.

Naturally, the orphaned farm boy turned out to be the CHOSEN ONE OF PROPHECY, and after many hours of grinding, was finally able to defeat Dark Lord GENERICO. At this point, on John's orders, the mercenaries killed the unsuspecting farm boy and his sweetheart, and John claimed the ITEM OF ULTIMATE POWER for himself.

With his new power, John killed all the heroes roaming the land, and saved the world economy. He then went on to end war, starvation and poverty, and was eventually elected World President.

He died peacefully in his late 80's, with 5 grandchildren, content in the knowledge that he alone had accomplished what scores of so-called heroes had failed to do.
