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

A Humanoid Abomination Young Conqueror Anti-Villain with an anti-nihilist attitude. My Goal in Life would be to continuously (because potential is limitless) make every single sentient being in existence rise above their flaws, a goal shared with my counterpart. Our conflict would rely on our alternative methods for doing so. Namely, I would kill everyone and have them stay dead until I figure out how to raise them to my physical and mental ability (specifically because I don't want them to suffer as Puny Earthlings in the meantime), at which point I revive everyone and we go up from there, while The Hero wants to do the same thing but without the killing part. The Hero thinks my method is assholish (an opinion that I agree with, but nevertheless continue on my quest to kill everything), so they try to stop me.

As for the song, I don't think my villainous self is the type to sing, but this would probably be my theme.

I would like to amend my original suggestion. I would certainly be omnicidal, but I would actually wish to save lives. The idea is that death is only beneficial in the macro, as the lives of everyone touches the lives of everyone else. So it'd be a bit Anti-Villain methinks.

I'd be the first one to punch out Tongpu's villain character for instance.

Nah, you'd be an economist. Somehow, that's scarier.

I am now known as Flyboy.

Hehe, now you know how John Q. Public sees your job.

I think the occupation of "economist" is going the way of the lawyer...

I am now known as Flyboy.

I'd be okay with that if Economist was actually my profession. But without the megabucks that come from being paid to lecture people, it just comes as an insult ;P

<rolls eyes>

Come now Tongpu, your villain could do better than that. How about horribly killing him retroactively in every moment of his life while he can do nothing in response until his final death at birth.

That would subvert his message. His message is "you'd be better off killing yourself." That doesn't work if dying isn't an escape.

Enigmatic Minion.

My villain song will be pretty upbeat but will end in a Last Note Nightmare.

I'll come up with something. Later.

I would be the Dangerously Genre-Savvy type that use the genre conventions of the Musical to sing a song where I take over the world, thus taking over the world.

Sure, but something more complex would have been harder to fit into the post without making it into an awkward running sentence, and there's no need to go into more detail, as this isn't a torture fantasies thread. The bottom line there was simply that my character is even less a fan of "evil for the greater good" types than they are of him.

I despise time travel. Barring certain rare exceptions, I will not allow a character of mine to appear in a work that features it.

That is not my character's message; it's just part of his song. My character has no message. His goal is simply to cause suffering and inspire dread. His song is meant to be a combination of taunts and Paranoia Fuel. He has no problem with people running around harboring illusions of hope. He'd rather crush their hope through action than through song anyway.

What a dick.

Mine is better! I DID THIS SHIT OUT OF BOREDOM AND CURIOSITY.

Well, assuming I could be anything, how about a Reality Warper?

• Ambition Is Evil, I suppose, plus Pragmatic Villain with a slight taste of Wicked Cultured. I'd be a Noble Demon, perhaps.

• I would like to have a deep, pseudo-classical background theme, maybe something like this.

The boss of either faction in a banana republic civil war: a paranoid dictator with awesome sunglasses and peaked cap who gleefully smokes a cigar while selling poor farmers land to a corrupt corporate executive; or a grizzly rebel leader with an impressive beard routinely executing people he doesn't like for opposing the "revolution and dealing in drugs on the side.

Anyone know a cheery upbeat caribbean song?
