So long as they could be resurrected later, I have plenty. Otherwise, not so much.

Well they would be reincarnated into a small baby bunny, so ressurection wouldn't be the issue.

If you're fine with 2 of the people being played by one person, I can send the leader of my Fast Response Squad with one accompanying soldier.

I've made a number of characters in a short period of time and I want them to be part of one clan for stories sake. I figured the best way to do this would be to introduce a big bad, any good ideas on how to introduce one?

I don't think a musical number sounds evil or dark at all. Not in any way I know of at least.

If that's what you believe, then I don't think you're ready to play a big bad. Sorry. =x

One requires education before one attempts to take on the mantle of villain, scoundrel, rapscallion, and generally loathsome evil dude.

It is classic for big bad villains to have a musical number.

And Kid Kris covered the parts I didn't. Yay.

I'm pretty sure I can't type a musical number. This is play by post with only words. No big bad I've read in books have a musical number. Anyway you guys aren't helping, so I'll just think of a way myself.

Honest advice? People will not take your villain seriously. Really, they won't. That goes for everyone old or new, so it's not just us picking on you. It's usually best to preempt/invite the snark by having your villain be at least a little humorous or having a light-hearted attitude and generally playing it slightly meta. I'm not saying that they can't be threatening or compelling, or that they have to be a joke, but if you try and play your villain like the next Sauron, you might be a little disheartened when people begin to mock them mercilessly.

@v: NEVAR!!! *evil laughter*

Right. Well for the record, I was actually being rather serious. As for musical numbers in text, it's been done several times. I've done it. Magtok's done it. Certainly other people as well, far more effectively than I ever could.

My concern primarily lies in that Surtr didn't think musical numbers could even be considered evil. It personally indicates to me that he might not be ready and may be disappointed in the results of introducing a big bad at this point in time.

But I've been wrong before in many ways and he's certainly free to do whatever he pleases. I apologize for any undue negative feelings I might have caused and will make no further comments on the subject.

Edit: Dang it KK stop that. *flails*

I'd rather have Lost_Deep's guy and one of your guys if you're okay with it.

You'd be more than welcome to have someone stop him before he reincarnates the NPC. I haven't set his abilities in stone so it could take a few minutes of contact for the reincarnation to happen. After all, he's already dead. You could have someone plead for his life or just chase Morsvita off.

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Onoskelis bite. And she's one that may very well bite, too.

C'nor, please post in the Temples of Dalachrech thread. Maybe for the Rayaat Tyr or whatever he is in the Underside Temple, too. Unless he's been permadeadtimed, anyway.

Nope, Will's not permadeadtimed, but I was unaware that there was anything going on he should be doing.

Well he's pretty weak physically, but decently cunning. He has next to no fighting skills. He can sublty influence the surroundings to cause the 'unfortunate accidents' though. Overall, depending on the location and situation, he can range anywhere from a D+ to a C+/B-.
