What kind of villian would you be and what kinda song would you sing?

This is just for fun but do you notice the most fun thing about the story is the villian.But what if you were a villian it can be any type;super villian,normal based villian,knight templar,card carrying villian etc.What would be your motivations for your crimes?

Also another thing crucial to a villian is that they get their own song and it will be the best song in the show.What genre and theme would it be?

Omnicidal Maniac! Minus the maniac part. Well, we can debate terminology all you want.

Something low key, playing up to the tragedy of the character, born from a sense of inevitability.

My theme would be a Card Carrying Villianous who wants to give evil a new kind of class and style.My song would be R&B themed with trippy and jazzy images of my great evil empire and how much I love being evil.

Most of my goals involve world domination and the occasional stealing the world's greatest treasures.

Now this thread is interesting. Almost definitely a Knight Templar (I have slight tendencies towards that trope in real life), with the motivations being revenge and/or power. I'd probably try to usurp a certain degree of power in order to try to bring change and put my ideas into practice, but prefering to operate subtly, behind the scenes.

As for the song, the number would be remininscent of a classic villain song, and the lyrics being filled with a liberal amount of angst.

If I were to be the villain, it would be as the logical extension of negative utilitarianism-that is, the happiness of a group of people does not justify the suffering of another, and the only way to ensure the end of all suffering is to ensure the end of all existence.

Of course, depending on the context, we could be talking about a scenario where hell exists, and it's not just ending the suffering of starving kids in Africa, but literally the eternal torment of those who happened to get on the cosmological power's bad side.

An aspiring emperor bent on world domination. The song would most certainly be a heavy metal version of "Rule Britannia", and I would most certainly rock the fuck out and play air guitar while singing.

I'd be the guy who runs the factory that the Nature Hero tries to destroy.

I'll go with Visionary Villain evil emperor, I would be card carrying though, hey at least I can admit I'm evil. I'm actually kind of a Straight Edge Evil, however I make no guarantee on how many must die in the name of my glorious villainous vision.

I'll be a pragmatic villain though, except in wardrobe, I'm going with Tin Tyrant mixed with Spikes of Villainy. My villain song would be a symphonic death metal song espousing my greatness and power.

Naturally I'll have read the evil overlord list.

I would be a villain who went down their path just to see what it was like. My goal would be simple and clear. "Have fun and satisfy your curiosity". I would start with petty theft, move up to murder, then to torture, and hopefully world domination and horrible subjugation of everyone. I want to rule a terrible 1984-esque state. Just because I can.

I would want something bubbly and happy sounding. I like lyrics dissonance a lot.

I don't think I would be any sort of villain, except maybe some sort of Well-Intentioned Extremist.

I'd be the decoy in Man Behind the Man and sing the song I wrote.

What kind of villain would I be?

Well... I'd sneak into people's houses and STEAL THEIR REMOTE CONTROLS AND LEFT SHOES!

Well, I'd say I'd probably be a combination of Knight Templar, Well-Intentioned Extremist and Moral Guardian. My song would probably be a Protest Song.

Oh, I'm a villain!
A very, very, nasty little villain,
I hate little babies,
Want to give them my dog's rabies!
Oh, how villainous I am!
Maybe now the world will tremble,
At my brillaint plans!
To start with the cake shop,
And end when I want to stop,
Oh, the villainous life for me!
Now, please... drink some of my tea.

I'd love to be a neurotic Mad Scientist living in a dark gothic tower and doing weird experiments on innocent villagers. I think I would have a Sanity Slippage Song.

I am a villain who doesn't song. Singing is sappy, and sappiness is not for villains (like me).

Hmm... I guess I would be the tragic Anti-Villain, perhaps a post-BSOD Fallen Hero trying to change or make up for some painful loss in the past. Expect the villain song to be laced with liberal helpings of Angst, the occasional angry outburst and much use of excuses to try and convince others (and myself) that I'm not the bad guy.

I would be a Knight Templar Card-Carrying Villain who would play the Evil Overlord List for laughs via Comedic Sociopathy and Evil Is Cool.

I don't sing. I'd have all my favorite bands on retainer, and when I'm bored, they'd play a concert. Anyone who disapproves is shot.

I wear a tophat, cane and longcoat and play the piano while singing a big and loud-ish song with a dark reprise where I play the violin.

Or at least that is one of them.

Knight Templar with holy motiffs to fool everyone.

Sadistic monster that communicates either in crazed laughter or Angrish. My theme music would be atonal industrial noise. Very deep and sympathetic characterisation, I think.

Probably a self hating Tragic Villain

As for the song, I'm thinking something very straightforward and melancholic.

An Ax-Crazy Affably /Laughably Evil Psycho for Hire who's a bit of a Nietzche Wannabe and Noble Demon. With Blue-and-Orange Morality to boot.

My theme song; I wouldn't sing, partly because I don't want to, and mostly because I can't. So my theme song would be something Metal sounding with heavy guitar abuse.

I'd be an Affably Evil Visionary Villain, trying to make humanity better one step at a time, whether they like it or not. My song would probably be a little soliliquey about how I'm going to destroy anyone who gets in my path, interrupted in the second chorus by the hero with an I'mRightBehindYou.

A Complete Monster, of course. Probably a Nietzsche Wannabe, working as a Psycho for Hire. My motivation would be simple— be High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Set new standards of cruelty. Be the villain who even other villains find disturbing. Do things to my victims that are horrific enough to traumatize the most hardened investigators and disillusion the most devout believers.

If I had a song, the main gist of it would be that I could be anywhere or anyone, you can never be truly safe from me, and you'd probably be better off just killing yourself now than continuing to live in a world where monsters like me are lurking behind every corner. The genre would be electronic, perhaps hardcore techno, but with gloomy, droning vocals, like those of the lead singer of Tool.
