VVV, am I going crazy, or was there a previous Medal of Honor candidate I can't seem to find?

Graf von Schrader from Medal of Honor: European Assault.

Nazi dude

Okay, fuck, I must be losing it. I forgot Scraggle's music trio, and I may've forgotten about Graft. Ah well, at can submit the Medal duo together.

I guess that's what happens when batches get SO big?

I'll give a yes to Cleric and Ruler

BTW, for Voltron, those 2 images may work, with God Save Us from the Empress! as the caption. Any good quotes? Or a header?

Ruler Cleric

Sure to Hassan Rasheed AKA The Cleric.

Medal of Honor writeups:

Medal of Honor: European Assault: Graf von Schrader is a high ranking Nazi officer, who was behind the project of developing the upgrades to Nazi weaponry and technology, as well as creation of new weapons. Spreading his henchmen across the Europe, Schrader has them develop and use new Nazi technology against the Allies, killing many innocent people. As Lieutenant William Holt tracks him down, Schrader creates atomic dirty bomb, called "Virus House", which he planes to drop on London, which would kill thousands of people. When American forces attacked his facility, Schrader activates the bomb, trying to take down all American troops along with him, while never caring about the fact that all his men will die as well.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter: Hassan Rasheed AKA The Cleric is the leader of several terrorist factions in Middle East, who is in reality a wealthy Arab banker from Dubai. Convincing hundreds of people to follow his cause of "fighting the Eagle", The Cleric trains them in weaponry and sends them to commit various terrorist acts, like taking half a dozen people hostage and try to kill them and soldiers, who arrive to save them. Discovering a powerful bomb, called PETN, Hassan sends several suicide bombers to various train stations to blow themselves up and kill countless innocent people. When Task Force discovers his base of operations and attacked it, Hassan sets his building on fire, along with all his men inside and tries to blow himself up, hoping to take down the US soldiers with him.

Time for another EP from me. I can't help but feel like this villain is similar to the villain from my last EP......

What is the Work

Pokémon Dark Rising is a series of Pokémon fan-games. They started off being about the hero trying to defeat Darugis, who has returned after being supposedly defeated long ago. The first two games are pretty much playable fan-fiction, what with the references to the Anime and Atem being a Gym Leader. However, Dark Rising 2 had a Shocking Swerve Downer Ending (which I will get to later), which led to the events of Pokemon Dark Rising: Order Destroyed, and after that, Pokemon Dark Rising 3, which isn't out yet. No, my candidate isn't Darugis, but rather the Big Bad of Order Destroyed and the Greater-Scope Villain of the series as a whole: Hoopa

Who is Hoopa? What has he Done?

Hoopa is a Mythical Pokemon that wanted to make the world exactly how he wanted it to be. His plan involved getting rid of both Arceus and Darugis so that both light and dark, good and evil and everything else would be under his control. Hoopa claims in Order Destroyed that he "sent Arceus to oblivion" and tellingly, the Arceus seen in the first two games turns out to be Hoopa. For more details on this, Arceus seems to be an ally who drives the hero to defeating Darugis to begin with, and late-game in Dark Rising 2, he joins your party and helps you at times. At the end, it turns out that you have to sacfrifice yourself to forever seal away Darugis. Right before your death, the Shocking Swerve Downer Ending I mentioned happens: "Arceus" reveals himself as Hoopa, declaring that order over the world is his. I could rant on about how forced this twist is, but I won't.

In Order Destroyed, in which you play as the rival from the first 2 games, we see the world where Hoopa has order: In which there are random distorted areas, no functional Pokemon Centers or anything, causing Pokemon to die if they faint, and the Trainer's Curse has been inflicted on all Pokemon Trainers, which kills them if they lose battles by sucking them into a void for them to eventually return as a mindless zombie, the zombies hunting down trainers to turn into more of them, with no mercy given to children. You can also see lifeless bodies around some areas. The trainer's curse also causes the protagonist to end up killing some people, which causes some grief.

Hoopa first appears in person shortly after you first meet Aizen (not that Aizen), in which Hoopa is revealed to be the one behind this apocalypse if there was ever any doubt, then he states that once he's "ready", he will kill all of the heroes, saying that it would be a happy ending for him. When asked why he did this by Zyree, he responds with the question "if you could make the whole world exactly the way you want it to be, would you?" He then states that in his world, the heroes don't deserve to exist. He also reveals that he found it funny when he manipulated the hero from Dark Rising and Dark Rising 2. During the next encounter with Hoopa, he reveals that all of the protagonist's friends have been scattered across the world, alone, scared and confused. Hoopa then reveals his goal of creating a new world where "there is no good or bad, only perfection."

Aizen then encourages you to put some of your Pokemon into The Machine (read: the only PC in the game), only for it to be revealed that Hoopa created the machine, Aizen was Evil All Along and now whatever Pokemon you put in the machine is now gone forever, with Zyro's Scyther suffering this fate, and Hoopa mocking Zyro about that fact. Then he reveals that Arceus is pretty much dead. Next encounter, Hoopa taunts the protagonist more about the fact that he and the hero from DR 1 and 2 were never chosen ones, then taunts him by leaving again when he tries to challenge Hoopa.

The next encounter with Hoopa is after the protagonist defeats Sludge, Hoopa reveals that he made some zombies look like humans to see if the protagonist would hold back. He didn't, and Hoopa taunts him that he's becoming a cold-hearted killer, then he takes Sludge to be "fixed", presumably turning him into a zombie. Next time we see Hoopa, he's turned Joel into a zombie after having the Pied Piper lure him into the Luring Cave and killing him offscreen. Hoopa then has zombie Joel battle the protagonist, but luckily, Zyro and Zyree are able to revive him with powers that they had being the offspring of Zygarde. Hoopa after this flips out, shouting that they ruined his fun, stating his hatred for Zygarde, and that next time the heroes meet him, he will destroy them.

In the final encounter with Hoopa at the end of the game, he verbally assaults Zyro and Zyree to make them feel like they're worthless. This doesn't stick, thanks to the protagonist and Joel, and then Hoopa flips out again. He then finally battles the protagonist and defeats him, therefore killing him, but allowing Zyro, Zyree and Joel to escape. Assuming the player somehow manages to defeat Hoopa, he simply shrugs it off and tells you that he's going to battle you again and again until you die.

Currently, Dark Rising 3 is not out yet. We just now need to wait for it to be released

Mitigating Factors?

Sludge claims that Hoopa was going to give him his own kingdom if he killed the protagonist, but this clearly isn't the case Hoopa says people like Sludge don't deserve to exist shortly after. He is allied with Aizen and the Pied Piper, but he doesn't exactly share any Pet the Dog moments with them, and him not having Aizen die when he lost could just be him wanting to keep an ally

He is quite childish in mannerisms, and he even calls himself a Troll, but everything he does is taken seriously. He also isn't an actual child since he's at least a million years old and knows what good and evil are

Hoopa calls himself generous when he reveals a way to cheat the system he implimented, but he is basically advocating cheating

For a more difficult one to defend, him killing Arceus is Offscreen Villainy, the only evidence being that Arceus is nowhere to be found, and I'm not sure if that's enough evidence to make it count toward Hoopa's heinousness

Heinousness?

This series has many vile villains. Darugis himself brainwashed a cult of children to worship him, caused points of destruction and ruined many lives indirectly, tried to sink a populated town underwater and ultimately tried to destroy the world. V's goal was to be able to torture the protagonist for eternity, tried to sink a ship full of innocent people and turned his children to stone for an unknown amount of time that is implied to be long. Light kidnapped some children and (temporarily) drained their souls. Giovanni had a plan to wipe out all Pokemon that started with attempted to kill baby Pokemon. Even the rival of DR 2 (the protagonist of Order Destroyed) tried to destroy the world when overwhelmed with power from Yveltal.

Despite all this, Hoopa stands out in how much he finds these evil acts fun and in his successful bodycount, directly or indirectly. And like Darugis, he also wanted to destroy the world, instead of just destroying the world, he's planning on remaking it as his own playground.

Is the Fan Work Schlock?

No. While Order Destroyed gets very dark, the corpses in the environments are simply Bloodless Carnage and look like they're just laying down, and the game doesn't describe any injuries. The trainer's curse death is simply described as a void sucking the trainers in. And it isn't pointless grimdark, as things are looking up for the better by the end and Dark Rising 3 may be less oppressive. And the first 2 games are pretty much E10+, maybe low-end T material, and we've allowed worse from Fan Works based on kid's media

And Hoopa is not a Ron the Death Eater case, as this doesn't seem to be the same Hoopa from Pokémon: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages

Conclusion

You decide

EDIT: I'll throw in a for the Cleric and the Ruler

Edited by KingofNightmares on Sep 12th 2019 at 9:08:08 AM

Hoopa.

• Hate Eternal's "Fury Within": The unidentified Ruler is a cruel tyrant who has already burned down cities for rebelling against him, and intends to lay waste to the realm, burning survivors at the stakes, refusing to show any mercy whatsoever to his rebellious subjects. As a matter of fact, the Ruler takes pleasure in tormenting his subjects as they beg for mercy — mocking their weakness as he does so — and intends to override the ideology of his enemies. Throughout the song, the Ruler can be heard cursing his subjects for their disloyalty and vowing revenge.

to Rais, Cleric and Ruler.

How do you feel about this Palpatine image◊ from Star Wars: Infinities: A New Hope?

Looks kind of generic, but looks feasible enough.

Maybe we should replace current image for Star Wars page with this one, because it does seem to be better fit, greatly showcasing Palpatine's cruelty with basically the same action, but against more people?

Edited by VeryVileVillian on Sep 12th 2019 at 10:36:08 PM

I don't see any need to change the Star Wars picture. That one, on its own, works decently, I suppose.
