2013 Villain of the Year

Valucre Presents

~Your 2013 Villain of the Year Finalists~

 

[The nominees and their nominators were asked to provide feedback on the following questions with 200 words or less responses. The following is for your voting consideration.]

Alexander Endriel

From the Nominator Agent

Why did you nominate this person?

Ty was the most active, the most successful, the most infamous, and the most memorable Villain of 2013. I'm not going to pretend I nominated him, because I couldn't and didn't need to- when he wasn't nominated by the staff*, Valucre demanded he be put on that list, because its his award to win.

*Editor's Note: The nomination process was chosen by boardleaders, not staff. While some boardleaders are staff, not all boardleaders are staff, just as while some staff are boardleaders, not all staff are boardleaders. Alexander was nominated to the lists via the 'Write-In' option system. 

What are some specific exploits of note? What do you feel that the people need to know before going in to vote?

In a continent that canonically boasts the most powerful military in Valucre, Ty's Alexander conquered nearly half of its landmass before setting his sights on its cities. He's currently in the process of burning Biazo to the ground in Thy Master's Bidding, he claimed the largest mountain in Valucre and established his fortress there, and he has merged his spirit with Terrenus' oldest foe- the Witch King Zengi. If the Dominion continues through 2014 uncontested, Terrenus very well may become front lawn of Alexander Endriel.

I believe he already has someone in mind to mow it.

Whispers in the Mountains: Post #15

What about this post makes it your favorite one involving this character?

This post typifies Alexander's personality, which is why I like it so much. The dead are as much tools as the living to him, explaining his complete lack of reverence. He walks with both eyes forward, and spares nothing. 

If you were somehow locked in dark room with this character for which you had no escape, what do you think would happen, and how would you react to finding yourself in such a state? 

I think that when he found out the room had no exit, he'd get pissed and make one, and I'd die in the blast. If I didn't, I'd probably still need to change my drawers. 

From the Villain Himself

Please give us a summary of what you did/accomplished this year. 

My character conquered a vast majority of territory on the continent of Terrenus. As it now stands, he is in control of: Blaurg Mountain, Forbidding Hills, Dark Forest, Hell's Gate (by proxy), and a minor, but growing, segment of The Cedars. He also launched a full-scale assault against the city of Biazo, and will be in control of that entire island soon. He is also managed to seek out the disembodied spirit of Zengi, the Witch King of lore, and successfully merge to become current day Witch King.

Please tell us why you feel you have earned this award.

I think this question would be better answered by those who voted for me and have read my work, or more specifically, those who have engaged my character in some manner. All I can say is that I've worked hard to push Alexander's story since he was created, turning him into the monster (literally, not figuratively) that he is; it's been a very enjoyable three-year journey.

Starbucks got your coffee wrong- what evil thing might your character do in response? 

He would probably kill every member of staff in the store, and the next six generations of their family, enslaving their souls to his will for eternity so that they would have ample time to practice making his coffee correctly.

Farkis Marisante

From the Nominator

Why did you nominate this person?

I was originally stuck between nominating either Alexander or Farkis for Terrenus's Villain, and ultimately chose Farkis because although they both effected a great deal of influence and damage on the nation and neither had closed threads per say, Farkis's threads and plots were AGGRESSIVELY open. This happened more with Alexander in the later quarter of 2013 but had always been Farkis's MO with himself and with OiC. All of his attacks on major cities were open and announced in the water cooler, and his own personal attack on one of the cities had people bidding large sums of VB for rewards and counter-rewards for people that aided or impeded Farkis.

What are some specific exploits of note? What do you feel that the people need to know before going in to vote?

The creation of OiC, management of Paradise, the various attacks on cities (Casper, Hell's Gate, Ignatz I think, Weland I think as well)

Not any one in particular but the IC thread I mention in question 1 is this one: Derailing Weland

See above.

If you were somehow locked in dark room with this character for which you had no escape, what do you think would happen, and how would you react to finding yourself in such a state? :P

I think if Farkis didn't kill me out of apathy or (unfounded) suspicion, I would try to make him interested in getting the fuck out of whatever dark room we were locked in (assuming I couldn't just walk out). Like I'd try to make it interesting for him and self-serving so that when he blows a hole in the place (assuming as well I know what he's capable of) and flies away towards a setting rainbow-sun, I can just follow in his wake and GTFO. I would also try to get him to give me super or magical powers somehow.

From the Villain Himself

Please give us a summary of what you did/accomplished this year. 

Attacked Ignatz, Casper, and a cookie cutter village all in an attempt to capture a peacekeeper... that never showed up out of fear!(maybe) Framed Genesaris for a terrorist attack. Destroyed critical infrastructure disrupting commerce and decreasing military power. Handed Hostage (Eustace Monroe) over to the Dominion. Molested another players character. (That's evil right?)(Could also probably take some credit for OiC's 2013 missions)

Please tell us why you feel you have earned this award. 

Because.... I've got nothing for this one.

Starbucks got your coffee wrong- what evil thing might your character do in response? 

Farkis would never be caught dead in a starbucks, he isn't a ..... anyway. We'll go with pop the barista's eye out and pour the coffee into her empty socket until a new cup of coffee was made. The process would repeat itself until all possible coffee options had been exhausted. He'd then ensnare multiple people's minds and force them to bite off chunks of one another's flesh and paint the starbuck's walls with their blood. (Cuz starbuck is tacky!) After awhile he'd go to Dunkin Donuts to get a real cup of coffee.

Roen

From the Nominator

Why did you nominate this person?

I enjoy the way he portrays this character through his writing, mixing elements of humor and being terrifying. He went on to stab the black queen (Gabriella).

What are some specific exploits of note? What do you feel that the people need to know before going in to vote?

He attempted to murder the Queen of Orisia in a moment of rage.

Pseudomonarchia Diablous

What about this post makes it your favorite one involving this character?

The audacity...

If you were somehow locked in dark room with this character for which you had no escape, what do you think would happen, and how would you react to finding yourself in such a state? :P 

I hope I have a 6pack of beer handy and catch him in a good mood. He'd be fun to drink with. Otherwise, I sure hope I didn't piss him off...

From the Villain Himself

Please give us a summary of what you did/accomplished this year. 

I've done nothing to justify being called Villain of the Year, not when there are other, more deserving candidates. Not that I know who they are. Regardless, what have I done this year? I think I've had a hand in the downfall of Marlboro Keep. I'm not sure. I'll be honest, I was/am more preoccupied and interested in Orisia, budding flower it is. 

Please tell us why you feel you have earned this award. 

I said it before, so I'll say it again: I don't think I'm very deserving. Don't misconstrue practicality for humility, because we all know I've not a shred of it. No, I'm saving the awards some face when I say I haven't done nearly enough to deserve Villain of the Year. To those I call fellow candidates, I salute you. I'm sure you're all a bunch of evil bastards. To those who voted for me, I love you. No doubt you wish to see more from the devil. 

Starbucks got your coffee wrong- what evil thing might your character do in response? 

So, my character's coffee is botched at a local Starbucks. They've either put too much milk or not enough sugar, whatever. He's going to talk to management and imply heavily that incompetence wears green aprons. They can say goodbye to any gratuities. A new cup of coffee will suffice. .

Resurgence

From the Nominator

Why did you nominate this person?

[Editor's Note: Pulled from the Awards 2013 Thread. Also, Dollya's death is complete.] Resurgence killed Dollya, or is about to, which will in turn awaken Orisia's magic, which is a huge deal for my little island. This thread is also not random, he used Resurgence in the Tea Party thread and set up his infiltration. His character has been plotting and fucking with Orisia for a long time--you can look back at The Masquerade and the fact that he started the zombie outbreak in Orisia back in 2012 [I think].

He took full control of Coastal Grande through a series of cleverly laid out murders, framed innocents and altered records, installing a puppet as a people’s choice. He raped and eviscerated a young teenage girl and framed an ambassador of Ashville, who the father subsequently killed in a murder-suicide (hope of economic relations are ruined).

Resurgence infiltrated the tea-party as The March Hare. He murdered a servant and kidnapped a squire. He took Dollya by surprise and forced her to watch him rip out the squire’s teeth and then force the boy tofellate him. He anally-raped the squire and consumed his soul, effectively leaving him in a lobotomized state, where his memories haunt his nightmares. Resurgence humiliated and ravaged Dollya, biting off her lip, manually stimulating her until she reached forced orgasm, (emphasizing that she took greater pleasure from his touch over her lover's), sodomized her with a dagger, ripped out her eyes while she screamed, forced her to eat her own genitals, and dismembered her body.

He left the eyeballs as a birthday gift for Raspberry and gave her heart to Leo, her boyfriend, who 'Always held her heart' (or something along those lines). Dollya's corpse was grotesquely posed on the throne.

This year, a lot of groundwork was laid down for getting this eventual ‘world-war’ kicked into motion, with Genesaris’ wealthiest and most powerful (save for Union City) city fully under his political control. He created conditions for strife and hardship and has ensured that the blame will go on the other nation. This will come to fruition as the work focuses on doing the same in Ashville and other places. This year was also a year on focusing on pushing limits and boundaries. I was asked if my character was as equal opportunistic as implied- the resulting actions against that poor squire showed that much certainly. It was definitely a push beyond my normal writing habits, so as disturbing as the entirety of that thread ended up being, it got me writing in new ways.

While it may not have been a year of sweeping territory claim, it was one of setting up base in one of the world's most powerful cities, and exploring just how much depravity can be committed against one individual at a time.

Other than that, ask the people. ;)

Starbucks got your coffee wrong- what evil thing might your character do in response? 

He’d leave.

Seriously.

It would be later that night that would be the problem.

In the night, the barista would awaken to find their spouse tied to a chair, gagged, and Resurgence there with a knife at his/her throat, demanding that they ‘perfect’ their ‘poor’ coffee making skills. He would require they use a specific kind of light red coffee grounds and force him/her to brew it and add evaporated milk and all the other steps involved in making a ‘perfect cup’, while forcing both to drink down the imperfect products. It would only be as he finds it ‘satisfactory’ that he reveals this coffee is made from the ground bones of their children.

He’d let them run from the room to check on their children’s bedroom and find that indeed their children are now in fleshy pieces strewn across the room, with hunks of skin, fat, muscle, and hair painting the walls and staining the sheets. Broken shards of leftover bone are littered about, proving the words true.
He’d leave them alive, a lesson learned for working at such a smarmy establishment like Starbucks and being terrible at their meaningless job to boot. Well, the spouse is just collateral-damage.

So who will it be? Four candidates, all with impressive resumes- it comes to the voters to decide who has it out for best Villain of the year. Will it be:

Alexander: With the consumed powers of an ancient, he’s claimed a sizable chunk of Terrenus real-estate. His ambitions move from the outlying areas and have already begun with a conquest through large population centers that will continue this year.

Farkis: A weaver of mass terror, his crimes are certainly disruptive, having caused massive infrastructural damage as well as hitches in local economies. His ambitions included capturing a peacekeeper as well.

Roen: Roen is always up for getting into some sort of trouble and this year, he found his way to the lists by attempting regicide, a high crime indeed. With the devil, you never know what else might be in store.

Resurgence: Taking control of economic power centers and murdering princesses in his spare time, Resurgence makes moves with the future in mind as well. His exploits awakened La’Ruta, and ancient presence of Orisia whose story will come in future threads.
