I think a punished Voidspawn would be more likely in this setting. The Horde is bent on consuming as many living souls as possible; if you're too weak, or take the mortals' side, they'll devour you so as not to waste mana. So Dexter may be a weak Voidspawn who escaped his gruesome fate and took a fallen body on his way out.

Hm. Yeah, I'm liking the concept, but I can see why fleshing it out would be a challenge. I think your signature is relevant here - he needs to have some burning desire in life, I think, in order to be a more compelling character.

Oh! I just had an idea. What if he discovered a technologically advanced, ancient, organic battle-golem, and his life's work is to restore it to full power so he can marry it? It would give him a reason to learn both magic and technology, and love can be a powerful driver.

I've got a bunch of lore behind those things, too...

Ooh, that's an interesting-looking dude! Got a new bio for him?
@Dark Cloud The link doesn't work
@Dark Cloud's character sheet for approval.
@Enkryption Your character need not be a "villain," just an "antagonist." The antagonist should always be the hero of their own story. My character, the Witch, is actually trying to do the world a favor, but everyone opposes her because they don't understand what she's trying to accomplish and aren't on board with her methods. I'm perfectly happy to play such a character because I feel like she's "heroic" in her own way.
@Dark Cloud
That's fair. As a co-GM, I'm expecting to have to create the world around the characters, and I endeavor to create a world that's ripe for whatever story the players want to tell. That's more what I mean by "tailoring." But as you pointed out, I may be overthinking it.

What do you think, @Conejitoooo? Since you're the top GM, I'll leave the decision to you.
@Dark Cloud
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure I'm capable of tailoring a story for that kind of character. You'd have to take all the initiative there.
@Enkryption
I find the antagonistic role appealing because it aligns me against the majority of the cast. I get to have epic PvP fights whenever they try to challenge me. >:)
