The YMMV District 9 page describes Obesandjo as "the Evil Cripple wheelchair bound leader of the Nigerian gangsters." The character being disabled doesn't seem relevant to the story, and certainly not to being a villain. Can that part be removed?

Yeah, that's a good point. I think mentioning his infirmity might be important as it's why he has the Aliens butchered (to take their strength), but...

~Imperial Majesty XO, do your thing.

When Shifty and his friends break into Helix, Brutus forces his son into experimenting on Buttons, and when Buttons escapes, prepares to "tie up loose ends" and kill Shifty's friends so he can have him and Buttons for himself, with Brutus showing sadistic glee at this prospect while guilt tripping Shifty into getting his friends into trouble and forcing him to take responsibility for his cruel actions. It's later revealed that he plans to sell the alien blood to both the US and USSR governments, hoping to deliberately provoke both sides into engaging in nuclear warfare, while he watches the fallout from the stars. Enhancing himself with alien blood, Brutus fights Shifty and rips his tail off, saying it's like how he ripped the tails of lizards in his childhood. After his work is ruined, Brutus holds a gun to Buttons' head, and after failing, attempts to shoot and kill Shifty as revenge for not getting what he wants.
• Galaxy War, Galaxy War X, Bitter Alliance: Deth is a feared alien warlord who's conquered a third of the galaxy and has thousands of crimes to his name, including war crimes, genocide, and slave trading. Wishing to conquer the plant "X," he orders Mnson to capture Simui to lure Nondel into a trap, in which Deth plans to interrogate him about the planet's security system in preparation for his invasion. When Nondel rescues Simui, Deth tries to wipe out all life on "X" by using an Armageddon Laser out of contempt for his previous defeat, starting an invasion that leads to thousands of casualties and later forcing Nondel to watch his own planet's destruction.
• The Ten Rings, The Tomb of Syethis, The Island of Fog: Baphoment is a goatman who becomes obssessed with reviving Tiamat to destroy the world and rule what was left. Recruiting Lucien and a tribe of skinwalkers, he sends them to massacre the town of Goldpiece to lure the Ten Rings away and allowing him to steal one shard needed to revive Tiamat, organizing numerous casualties. After murdering Father Lancaster to steal the shard, he then kills a gravedigger and sacrifices him to summon Thanatos to steal another shard. Once he acquires all three shards, he revives Tiamat and spends his last moments boasting about how she'll kill the Ten Rings.

As for District 9, do this?

• Obesandjo, the leader of the Nigerian gangsters, sets up his racket in District 9 and distributes cat food to the aliens, which is like a drug that keeps them hooked. He also offers "interspecies prostitution," offering them human women. The worst, however, is when he has innocent aliens butchered, so he can eat their flesh and gain their power. When he captures Wikus, he fully plans to cut off his Prawn parts and eat them himself.

EDIT:

• District 9:
  • Koobus Venter is a sadistic member of a special ops team who gets his jollies off murder, and relishes being able to kill without repercussion. Koobus guns down a prawn after it's been subdued and later leads a violent hunt for Wikus, with full willingness to kill whoever gets in the way. Koobus psychologically tortures the prawn Christopher Johnson while beating him and threatens to kill him regardless of getting Wikus, gleefully saying he can't believe he's getting paid to do what he loves: he just loves watching the Prawns die.
  • Obesandjo, the leader of the Nigerian gangsters, sets up his racket in District 9 and distributes cat food to the aliens, which is like a drug that keeps them hooked. He also operates "interspecies prostitution" rings, offering the prawns human women. The worst, however, is when he has innocent aliens butchered, so he can eat their flesh and gain their power. When he captures Wikus, he fully plans to cut off his Prawn parts and eat them himself.

Galaxy War: is Mnson supposed to be "Manson"?

On YMMV.Halo, the CM entry had "allowed Mercy to die by the parasitic Flood for no reason at all" changed to "and allowed Mercy to be killed by the Flood in order to seize absolute power over the Covenant". Is that the kind of edit that needs approval?

My impression is the only edits that don't need approval were for grammar and typos.

I actually don't think so.

Hmm, you're right, though I don't hate the edit.

Well it's objectively incorrect to say it was for "no reason" if it was a power play. May as well just change it on the Sandbox page so it can get altered on the swap day.

And done.

Some pothole suggestions:

• Bill and Mary: Knee-capping at "shoot him in his kneecaps"
• Rajine: Immortality Immorality at "maintain her youth", Sealed Evil in a Can at "trapped on an isolated planet"
• Thorn: Tyrant Takes the Helm at "Taking up control of the planet"
• Mari: Screw the Rules, I Make Them! at "she can do whatever she wants as the warden"
• Fitzwalter: Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil at "enslaving", Tyrannosaurus Rex at "T-rex"
• Jack: Lured into a Trap at "lures the five women into a trap"
• John Boy: Cop Killer at "executing three harmless security guards"
• Andrei: No-Holds-Barred Beatdown at "beats a man to death with a gold bar"
• Thackery: Corrupt Corporate Exectutive at "shipping magnate", Board to Death at "his board of directors"
• Laughing Jack: Slave Galley at "slaves forced to row the oars", I Have Your Wife at "taking his daughter Verity hostage", Baleful Polymorph at "magically turns Red Han into a horse"
• Covington: Cruel and Unusual Death at "kill slowly by serious knife play"
• Deparnieux: A Taste of the Lash at "flogging", Disproportionate Retribution at "displeasing him", Would Harm a Senior at "elderly parents"
• Tennyson: Monster Protection Racket at "secretly under the Outsiders' control", Leave No Survivors at "none whatsoever"
• Darren Rust: Cold-Blooded Torture at "tortures a little girl", Would Hurt a Child at "daughter"
• Al Misurata: pirate at "corsair"
• Baphomet: Gruesome Goat at "goatman"

According to the user from Reddit, Wraithdagger 12, this is what he has to say about Toffee from the Star vs Reddit category on why he's a complete monster: "I would say he's much more complex than that, but he certainly descended into that, as you describe.

Toffee lost sight of humanity (figurative). His goals - his revenge - were his only drive, nothing else. We can't know if he really was thinking about 'the greater good' for his people, or if he was really trying to achieve peace albeit in a really roundabout way, but what we can see says it all.

Again, Toffee betrayed Ludo, threw Buff Frog under the bus, lied to Moon that he killed her daughter, and at the end of it all, he was alone. He put himself so far out in front that he cared for no one other than himself.

Those who stand alone, fail. Those who come together, even under the worst of circumstances, give themselves a chance to succeed. That's one of the biggest lessons the show taught us."

Would this mean that he IS a complete monster and he should be added or not? I don't know. I even asked if this is what Daron sees him to actually be (a knight templer complete monster)? Because you guys say he's not. I'm so confused right now.

First off, we don't really pay attention to what a person on reddit has to say. By our criteria, Toffee is a no

Or well any other site it's in the rules..

I hope that cleared everything up.

Complete Monster here is quite strictly defined. There seemed to be the same confusion about 2003!Envy being removed by third parties who cited him having no redeeming qualities. With Toffee I'll concur his good intent can be questioned, the fact he flunks the heinous standard is another issue and he's much more suited to Magnificent Bastard than this.

What's the work?

Haven: Call of the King is a 2002 playstation 2 Action-Adventure game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Midway Games and was planned to be the first part of a trilogy. The game's plot revolved around the titular character, Haven. After receiving a dream about the "Golden Voice", he's become targeted by the evil Lord Vetch. After his friend, Chess, is captured thanks to this dream, Haven sets out to rescue her and find out the secret behind this dream.

Long story short, it was hyped as a masterpiece that was going to revolutionize the industry but instead, we got an "okay" platformer with some tedious parts.

Who is he?

The Big Bad Lord Vetch is a Palpatinesque galaxy overlord who has enslaved entire planets as he boasts himself in the opening. To ensure their servitude, Vetch infected every slave with a deadly virus requiring a constant dose of antidote called Catana.

He also wears a black robe, a skull mask and has a deep raspy voice in case you couldn't tell he's bad.

What has he done?

Long ago, the evil Lord conqueror Vetch desired to conquer the people of Aurius but couldn't as their King Athelion was too strong for him. Athelion was called away to join his father and fight in the Galactic Crusades. On the Mount of Sighs, the good king left a giant bell, the Golden Voice, which was to be rung to call his return should he ever be needed.

Vetch seized the opportunity, bribed a councilman and infected the whole population with the virus. He then hid the bell by building a fortress around it and did his best to erase Athelion from the memory.

The game starts thousand years later. The young Haven is one of the slaves who work in the mine. Having recuring dreams about the Golden Voice, he's hunted by Vetch minions who learned about it thanks to a spy.

At the start of the game, Vetch's dragon -The Overlord- abducts Haven's friend Chess to lure the hero. After his defeat, one of Vetch's servant worries that the prophecy of the Golden Voice might come true. The tyrant predictably fries the poor guys and asks another if he fears Haven more than him.

Eventually, Haven finds and rings the bell on the Mount of Sighs but ignores the warming that he must stays in the Tower in order to rescue Chess once again. Sadly, it turns out that Chess was Vetch' mole and lured him out of the citadel on purpose as the Mount of Sighs would have weakens Vetch. Indeed, the prophecy states that Athelion would return to the bellringer first. Inside Vetch's forteress, Athelion is indeed powerless.

Having no further uses for the boy, Vetch prepares to fry Haven (because his corpse can still attract the King). When Chess protests that he promised to spare her friend, he declares they can both die together.

Athelion arrives just in time and announces he will surrender only if Haven and Chess are spared. Vetch obliges, sends the two to their cells and drags Athelion to the Mount of Sighs.

There, he chains the good king, reveals his intention of killing Haven anyway and painfully murders Athelion with a heavy dose of virus.

Haven, having escaped the citadel (the guards literally forgot to lock the door lol), faces the monster in an ultimate battle… and loses.

However Vetch somehow can't kill the boy. It turns out that the power of the Mount of Sighs made him invicible. So Vetch chains him next the Athelion's corpse and simply leaves him alone on the planet.

THE END

Well obviously, it was supposed to be a cliffhanger leading to a sequel but since the game flopped, Haven has been chained to that rock for the last 18 years as far as we know.

Heinousness

I think he goes way above the baseline with the way he enslaves people with a deadly virus to keep them in line. On top of other nasty moments, like killing a minion out of frustration, tossing his spy under the bus, painfully killing the king and condemning the hero to a Fate Worse than Death.

Mitigating Factors

Do you expect someone who look like this◊ to have redeeming features?

Now, YMMV.Haven Call Of The King potholes Vetch as a Generic Doomsday Villain twice for being "a stereotypical evil dark overload who wants to enslave the Galaxy". This statement is accurate - as he’s definitely NOT an original and deep character - but I think he still displays personality traits like impatience, cruelty and sadism .In particular, the way he condemn the hero to a Fate Worse than Death isn’t something a true GDV would pull IMO. See here

Verdict Methink he’s an easy keeper.

Yes to scrappy overlord.

Yes to Vetch.
