The Redeemer Corps
DISCORD HERE!


Villain. Criminal. Rogue. Scum. Felon. Terror. Blackguard. Sinner. Hero.

In your past there was nothing that could stand in your way. Revenge, power, wealth, fame, anything you wanted. You had legions of minions and followers at your command, vaults of vast riches and magical artifacts, lairs and fortresses thought unimpregnable and invincible. Thousands were crushed in your relentless ambition, and you would crush a thousand more. But we know how these stories end up. At the height of your power, right before your final victory, a ragtag group of plucky heroes saves the day or an underling betrays you in the name of "justice" or "family". Your schemes laid in ruins, your armies shattered and your fortress destroyed with your story doomed to death or failure.

But what if it didn't end there.

Reborn by the power of the multiversal Nexus, you were given new life and a new duty. All of reality itself is threatened by a terror so unfathomably ancient that none can stand against it. Great heroes and champion paragons have fallen before its unstoppable moment as it reaches out from beyond the veil between reality. Its armies beyond counting, its champions beyond reckoning and its heralds are unstoppable, a vanguard of the most powerful beings across worlds and dimensions: the villainous you..




Welcome to the Redeemer Corps, a multiverse organization of former villains who have been summoned by the power of the Nexus to stop the Abyss. Why you might ask? Because the Abyss is using copies of yourselves as its Heralds and so far, no one else has been able to beat them. Normal heroes and armies can't fight them so they brought back the only people who really know their weaknesses, themselves.

Inspired by Megamind and Suicide Squad, the main premise of the RP is that you are creating your own antagonist while creating a protagonist character. However, your "redeemed" player-version is weaker than the Abyssal antagonist. Lore reason is that the Nexus brought you back using your body while the Abyss brought their version back using your old soul. You personality might have changed a little depending on the process too. Character creation will be mirrored with one Abyssal version (evil, villain antagonist) and one Redeemed version (player character version).



Regular RP rules and norms apply, try your best to be powerful but not godly immortal.


Character Creation


Some thoughts:

  • I highly recommend watching some of Overly Sarcastic Production's videos on tropes about villains and generally things on how to write a good villain.
  • I would try to avoid having "super intelligence" a la evil Sherlock be one of your abilities unless you want to do a LOT of OOC talking with me to set it up so your character actually shows it off.
  • Beyond the evil dark lord, there's things like "magnificent bastard", "honorable/professional foe", "well intentioned extremist" and other tropes to work off of.
  • Remember, the difference between a villain and a supervillain is PRESENTATION. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*✲゚*。⋆
  • See this as well "making two character sheets" and more "making one and then tweaking it".
  • Try to include a summary of your character for quick reference for other players.

TITLE
SPECIALITY | AGE | SEX/RACE

Welcome to the Nexus! Be sure to read the OP, some things have changed in terms of character creation and terminology. Instead of an in-character writing example, there's now just a character summary.

NAME Dr. Florian Pine
Poison Oak
Ecoterrorist | 30 | Male/Plant-Human hybrid


(Poison Oak is an Ecoterrorist. He uses his plant based powers to commit crimes to make things better for plants. Which often involves hurting/killing people. Or he commits crimes to make money to fund his experiments. He’s not out for world domination. He just wants to hurt the world that has been so cruel to him.

I might as well since Jest linked me the roleplay twice. Have to work on my villainous & Redeemed Profile.

Super interested by the way, previously on the fence, then 12 days later decided to put my full interest in. lol

SCOTUS BLACKADE
THE SHADOW KING


Umbrakinesis and Umbra-conception | Unknown, Estimated in the millions | Androgynous, but prefers to be seen Male/Primordial Shadow Beast

Once a gelatinous self-reproductive experiment of the Gods turned interdimensional conqueror, now not only accepting, but wanting the offer to be redeemed and set right his wrongs. He's a master of Umbrakinesis, and while he may look human, his true form is something far stronger and truly to be feared.

My fall from grace character is truly finished. Since it's been given a format overall, and now everything is centered too!

Meagan Holly Trace
The Grand Usurper
Photokinesis and Flight | Unknown, estimated in eight hundred thousand | Female/Fallen Angel

Once, an angel fell from grace after trying to steal the powers of her Goddess that caused many deaths. She committed many crimes in seeking power, but she aims to become redeemed to set things right from her vindictive nature. As a master of the corruption form of Photokinesis, it puts people and creatures into stasis and turns them into monstrous creatures under her control.

This is pretty interesting. I like the premise, so I'll see if I can come up with a solid villain and all that. I do have questions, though, so I will ask them in Discord later.

Or, I would, if the link hadn't expired.

Is there an expectation of big, Cosmic-scale threats for the villains, or is that more up to us and we don't have to be the biggest, baddest horrible threat in terms of raw power as long as we're horrible and dangerous in other ways?

I am going to be fully transparent, I was not ready for this much reading

@Landaus Five-One She looks good but for the Redeemed version, the Nexus isn't bringing people back and putting them in new homes. Its summoning them in the Nexus specifically to fight so the last bit about her being reborn on another planet doesn't really fit in.

@Vega7285 Yup, there's more than one way to be a villain. The Marvel movies didn't start with Thanos being the main antagonist after all. You can add as much cosmic power as you think would be interesting to be fight against from an underdog start. Here's a new discord link.

@mattmanganon RIP. Good luck with whatever you're doing!

A mage created to infiltrate another civilization as part of an invasion rose to great power, but could not escape her fate, and fell to servitude of the emperor of darkness. Now she can follow the path she missed in another life, and fight as an agent of balance within the multiverse.
