I'll go with some of the villains from Supernova Initiative, and Scrapyard Boys, @leahnardo-da-veggie

(Supernova Initiative)

For this WIP we have characters like:

The Director: a man responsible for countless illegal experiments conducted on LIVING HUMANOID BEINGS with full government funding, a man who tortured multiple people - especially a 25-year-old young man (Jack) whose little sister he had threatened with violence - for FUN, under the guise of "seeking scientific progress". Someone who is behind multiple corrupt colonization efforts on foreign planets, efforts which led to a series of brutal genocides along with lasting ecological damages. A man who kidnapped two innocent twin kids from an endangered civilization, and turned one of them into a supersoldier - later brainwashing him to forget his twin and his past once he grew up - and kept the other as a control test subject? Someone known for actively funding terrorist organizations and planning to instigate a civil war to sell his inventions?

Eldora: a warlord lady who betrayed and conquered her own people, slandering their ancient and peaceful way of life in the name of gaining power through warfare. A woman who forced the prince of the province she conquered to marry her and provide her with an heir - while later proving to be incredibly physically and mentally abusive to both her husband and the son they had together, whom she saw as a disappointment. Someone who killed her own husband two years after he tried to run away from her torturous grasp with their kid son, letting him die a slow and brutal death by poisoning in front of their boy. A warlord known for torturing and brainwashing prisoners of war, and who kidnapped Deimos Soll - a talented marksman - to try and turn him into her thrall, and then haunting his whole existence after he managed to escape.

Red Adder & Arachnys: The most vicious crime couple in all of the galaxies, the King and Queen of organized crime, a woman and a man capable of such destruction even the most powerful governments and dignitaries do not dare to intervene with their schemes. A duo involved in slave trades, drug trafficking, organ and cybernetic parts harvesting from living beings, racketeering, and all the workings of the criminal underworld. The owners of the most infamous brothels and strip clubs in the galaxies, where they employ captured slaves and thrilled sentient robots forced to obey their commands.

(Scrapyard Boys)

Jake Acheron - A corrupt billionaire raised on a silver spoon, Jake inherited his family's shady dealings and their business, which thrived and expanded under his management, much to the suffering of the city of New Omnium. Known to the world as a reclusive philanthropist, Jake is actually a brutal man who cares little about regular people and who considers mutants as a plague - despite being one himself. He funds the PHANTOM Industries and the Spectre Academies' horrible secret experiments and trials, all to boost his financial power and influence over the city. He is also not above hunting down and torturing anyone who gets in his way, even teenagers like Valen and his friends. Responsible for multiple crimes, with the most notable being murder, torture and money laundering, there is no line Jake will not cross.

Dr. Gladys Murklins - A celebrated and psychotic scientist, Gladys has been the cause of many tragedies, including the death of her former best friend and business partner, Cain Richards, after she set fire to his laboratory with him trapped inside, which traumatized and orphaned his daughter, Saoirse. Gladys is also the head of PHANTOM Industries' effort to great the best super serum in the world, as well as creating other, highly dangerous drugs to "keep the population in check." She's known for a falsely charismatic personality, which hides a horribly sadistic nature and a very amoral scientific outlook. Gladys also knowingly tortures, experiments and drives insane many of the unlucky mutant teenagers (those rejected by the Spectre Academy or picked off from the street) to fuel her scientific pursuits and create a new generation of "superheroes". She tortured and almost drove insane Josh Aleta, Erin Stellern's foster cousin, after the teenager accidentally witnessed something he shouldn't have.

Zander - A retired mob boss and now pimp, Zander holds the criminal underworld of New Ominium in the palm of his hand, being the mentor and patron of a new generation of mobster wannabes, while also remaining rich as can be. A highly perverted and twisted individual, he is known for sexually harassing and coercing his employees, while basically keeping them tied to indenture contracts that are nigh unbreakable. One of his most notable employees is Adrien Rosetrom, after Rhys & Gwyn's half-brother who became indebted to the mob and was forced to become a stripper to survive rather than be killed by Zander's goons.

Voices In My Head - Falling In Reverse

The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray 'Cause I'm spinning like a carousel, circling the drain Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don't wanna feel the pain But that is all I got for now, I don't wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep on begging me to stay If I pull the trigger now then the demons go away And I know my time is coming so there ain't no time to waste So that is all I got for now, I don't wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep telling me to choose a side It's heaven or hell like it's do or die I'm a sad boy, you know better Please don't make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I'm not okay It's feeling like a hurricane in my brain Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather Please don't make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I'm gonna (die) And I don't wanna talk about the drama, I'm trauma (tized) They're tellin' me I'm fine but we both know that's a fuckin' (lie) I'm losing my mind but I don't wanna talk about it

I'll Keep You Safe - Sleeping at Last

Don't be, don't be afraid. Our mistakes, they were bound to be made. But i promise you i'll keep you safe. I'll keep you safe.

Timebomb - Motionless In White

Seconds are left on the countdown Panic attack, the next normal in bloom I let you go to get a grip on myself But will you welcome me back as someone else? All my life I've been a timebomb (now time is running out) Juxtapose me with my past-self (a doubt I can't surmount) It's survival of the restless (survival of the restless) So split the difference between us Looking back on the things that I've done I should've known that I've always had more than enough If tonight I fall asleep for the last time I wanna be proud of the things that I've done right If I could learn how to hold my head up Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passing me by If I could give myself what I give to you Then maybe I'd find strength to hold on to

Fight if you need to, smash if you have to Get control (take it out on me!) So scream if you wanna, shout if you need Just let it go (take it out on me!) Fight if you need to, smash if you have to Get control

♡ Badly Summarized OC ♡

If the perfect mix between Dean Winchester (Supernatural) and JD (Heathers) was sent to the Arkham Asylum, that would be Luke!

The embodiment of a "I CAN KEEP YOU IN THIS WORLD OR TAKE YOU OUT MERCILESSLY" - has both Healing powers and Wound Generation powers.

Has killed before, will kill again if prompted.

Severely traumatized teenager who lives for his little brother and will burn down the world if anyone as much as threatens to harm a hair on Riley's head.

Swears like a sailor and smokes like a locomotive but would cry while watching their world's version of Disney, though he would never admit it lol

Sense of humor trapped between overly childish and mindnumbingly dark & concerning.

Loves getting tattoos, especially those themed after his favorite pop culture references or rock bands etc.

Sounds like a wheezing kettle when laughing - for no apparent reason, his laugh is just Built Like That - and doesn't seem to mind.

Is not scared of the police and is a mastermind when it comes to jailbreaking, despite being like, 18.

Suffers from insomnia so most of his nights are spent watching his favorite series until he blissfully falls asleep - if he does - and then downing cups and cups of coffee during the day.

Villain Crimes Tag!

I had this idea for a tag game a while ago and I think its time I finally put it to practice!!! Plus I think its really cool and you guys will probably enjoy it!

Rules: What crimes would your villains be convicted of if they faced trial in the real world? In short, list what crimes your villains have commited, in modern terms.

TW. Mention of some pretty gnarly crimes - but NOT in detail - because these are Villains after all.

Supernova Initiative

The Director/Dr. Darius Merrik

Multiple counts of First & Second Degree Murder + Manslaughter (The Director, behind the scenes, is a very brutal and vicious man - the antithesis of whom he pretends to be to the population. Darius has ordered the execution of/personally killed multiple people who were accused of stirring up "illegal insurrection and rebel efforts" against the Junction, as well as has killed any and all who discover his secret experiments without his explicit permission. His methods of experimentation are also so brutal and extreme that his subjects/victims often, really often, die as a result of it, whether that was the intent or not. Darius doesn't care at all, being at most disappointed at needing to find another test subject and starting from scratch.)

Human Experimentation/Torture/Illegal Laboratories (As mentioned before; Darius is a mad scientist who conducts highly illegal experiments on people, especially those who stand against him. He believes what he is doing will supposedly "bring even more progress" too the galaxies and change the tides of the civil war, and doesn't care how many innocent people he brutalizes in the process. Countless people have already gone through his secret labs - without the population of the Junction even knowing there was a secret lab - and most of his test subjects have died as a result of the experiments, and those who did not were changed in horrifying ways)

Blackmail/Extortion (Darius often counts in severe forms of blackmail and extortion to keep his rivals in line and to make people obey him. Part of how he became so powerful and influential in the Junction was by blackmailing and extorting powerful people and eliminating any possible chance of people looking into his schemes. Another example of this is that the Director only manages to get Jack Tithus to comply to becoming his test subject by threatening to hurt the young man's sister. To protect her, Jack accepted to be experimented on.)

Funding terrorist groups & War Factions/Accesory to Colonization (The Director holds a strong position of power in the Junction, often tampering directly with the civil war by funding extremist organizations and raiding war factions in order to "facilitate" the Junction's advance into enemy territory. Because of him, factions like the Skull-Reapers - space pirates/raiders - were able to raze whole planets - like Acaeth - and allow the installment of Junction settlements there. He also vehemently supports the Junction's official military advances onto other independent planets, and often provides the government's Sentries with new weaponry and armor.)

Ecological Destruction (The Director also funds many mining and deforestation efforts in non-Junction planets, often to get the raw materials he needs for his inventions and experiments, but also to profit from the trade of those spoils. The sheer rate of these "efforts" have already caused considerable devastation and damage to those planets' ecosystems.)

Embezzlement/Money Laundering (Darius is one of the richest men in the Junction, being also one of the most influential. But where does he get that money? From his experiments, inventions and trades? Yes, but that is only a small fraction of it. Most of his vast fortune comes from money laundering and corruption schemes, especially targeting politicians who somehow pose a threat to his plans, a self-fueling cycle that maintains his sheer fortune no matter how much money he spends)

Eldora Thalax

Multiple counts of First Degree Murder, Multiple War Crimes & Genocide (she literally is a warlord hellbent on conquering as much territory as she can both in her planet and others. Eldora is a skilled warrior and assassin, and has killed people before - many of them innocent citizens of places that refused to bow to her tyranny. She also sent hitmen after her husband when he and their son ran away from her, leading to his assassination)

High Treason (Eldora has essentially betrayed her people's high council, known as the Hearth, after her mother and the actually honorable Matriachs denounced her disgustingly ways and exiled her. She also betayed many political deals to have more advantage. Eldora wrongly believes that if she gets as many conquests as she can, that the Matriarchs will forgive her and accept her back, giving her a seat at the Hearth, when she's actually proving them right about her - kinda like Lord Shen did in Kung Fu Panda 2)

Sexual Coercion (her relationship/marriage to Damen was arranged and thus she specifically didn't... really care about his consent or not. Full 'Game of Thrones' arranged marriage to make heirs kind of situation but make it futuristic - he technically said 'yes' to the marriage but did he have a choice? No.)

Kidnapping, Torture & Human Experimentation (She is known to torture prisoners of war, especially those who once held positions of power - at times just for fun, at other times for information, for compliance or to extract information. When Deimos Soll discovered how corrupt she is and tried to desert her ranks, she captured him and had him tortured AND experimented on in an attempt to brainwash him into some kind of supersoldier)

Domestic Abuse/Psychological Torment (Eldora was very abusive to both her husband, Damen, and their son, Kye. Though most - but not all - of her outbursts of physical abuse were directed at her husband, the former prince of the region she'd conquered, Eldora was extremely emotionally abusive to Kye as well, especially because she had a tendency to threaten to hurt his father further to get their boy to obey her)

Dictatorship (Eldora has conquered multiple regions of her home planet and has long since started "brainching out" her influence to other nearby planets, almost conquering an entire solar system. She is known for being a cruel, corrupt, violent and often ruthless ruler who controls the places she conquers with an iron fist.)

Illegal Arms Trade + Slave Trade (Eldora prides herself in having the most top-of-the-line weaponry in the galaxies, being an ardent client of many infamous arms dealers and intercepts some of those goods to sell to her allies. She also is known for proffiting from enslaving portions of the civilizations she conquers, especially if they try to rebel or are accused of trying to betray her, or simoly are her prisoners of war, and selling them as slaves in the underworld market to the highest bidder, though she keeps many to strenghten her armies.)

Arachnys & Red Adder

Racketeering/Fraud/Loan Sharking (They are mobsters. The most dangerous mobsters in the galaxies. The Crime King and Queen. Protection schemes, false business/racketeering, major fraud are just another tuesday to them, and a huge part of what they do on a daily basis.)

Illegal Drug Trade (Any and all addictive substances in EITHER GALAXIES is sold and manufactured by people working under the behest of Arachnys and Red Adder, especially some high-ranking crime families. They're known for making some of the most dangerous and addictive/destructive drugs in any planetary system, and keep their control over their planets underworlds by using those chemicals to keep the population obedient/dependent on their supply)

Being Leaders of a Criminal Organization/Mob (Self-explanatory. Arcahnys and Red Adder are the heads of the most dangerous and powerful crime family/mob in the Khosmonian galaxies, and now in the Junction as well.)

Illegal Casinos/Houses of Gambling (And man do they profit off of it, because those places are popular in both galaxies!)

Human Trafficking, Slave Trade, Organ Trade (They are known for being involved in the most nefarious side of the interplanetary black market, and that includes, unfortunately, the trade of people - be it in full, by selling/buying slaves to/from warlords like Eldora Thalax, with whom they have a longstanding business relationship with, or in... parts, because they also sell organs and cybernectic parts, which they harvest from humanoids and cyborgs that fall into their hands.)

Illegal Prostitution Schemes/Forced Prostitution/Dehumanization (The MAIN "business" of the Saphir crime family is the "pleasure business". They pride themselves on having the finest brothels and strip-clubs in their planets, with most of the entertainers being either slaves they've captured/bought OR... sentient robots. Not cyborgs, but actual, sentient robots, their newest and most popular invention - sentient robots, unlike cyborgs, are fully artificial despite looking like regular humanoids, and their adaptable appearance makes them very popular in the Saphir's business. Meridian Shardd, the story's most innocent character, was one of those sentient robots - having gained conscience/broken free of their programming shortly after being manufactured, Meridian ran away from the factory thankfully before being put to work by the mob, and is terrified of being found.)

@elshells, @thecomfywriter

Oooh this is a cool idea, @thecomfywriter!!!! I'll go with Ilya Nikitinov and Gemma Arwyll from Grim City Chronicles - since they're (respectively) a con man and a talented thief who more often than not specialize in improvising lol.

Okay, let's see how they handle this (I'm assuming this is a heist where the characters want to get some sort of information/money or an Important MacGuffin from a secure location. Let's pretend they're stealing something from the Main Villain's manor in the story, just because it's more realistic for them, and it's the only thing I can think of lol - since they would never rob a bank)!

Part 1 - The Distraction

After making sure the dark mage is not home, they sneak in at night, after stealthily climbing over the high, vine-covered metal fences surrounding the manor's lands, and making their way through the cursed orchard toward the house proper, they devise a plan to distract the mage's enthralled servants - and given that some of those servants are undead, a simple distraction would do quite well to get them out of the way while the duo gets in and out. Using the book, Ilya ties the string around it, before drenching the book in oil and securing the fueled lantern to it. With one of the matches, he lights the improvised fuse (the string) on fire, and throws the contraption through a strategically chosen window - the book's weight will be heavy enough to break the glass, while the oil drenching it and the field lantern will ensure that a considerable fire spreads out once the lit fuse reaches it, which would hopefully keep the undead servants of the dark mage occupied for a while.

Part 2 - The Theft

While Ilya prepared the distraction for the servants, Gemma located a wall - on the opposite side of the manor - close enough to the room where they'd been told the vault was and started digging a hole in the wall using the enchanted shovel. Once it was done and big enough for both of them to climb through and the distraction was already in action, she beckons Ilya to follow her as they sneak into the actual manor through the hole she dug. Once inside, the duo silently make their way through the twisting maze of corridors made to confuse any and all outsiders in the manor and avoid any of the cursed furniture and living traps that might notice the invasion and consider them a threat. Finding the dark mage's office, they notice it remains guarded by two skeleton guards, who apparently hadn't moved from their stations even with the fiery distraction the duo caused across the manor. Ilya carefully throws the cup to cause noise in the far end of another corridor, and one of the guards goes to check it out, while one remains, though looking in the noise's direction. Twisting the Henley into a rope-like shape and stealthily sneaking behind the remaining guard, she swiftly wraps it around its bony neck and with one swift motion, snaps its neck and head clean off. She doesn't feel bad about it - for one, this is a corrupted skeleton working for their archnemesis, for two, it probably will get restored and "revived" later when its master returns. Meanwhile, Ilya quickly locked the door to the room the second guard had walked to, trapping the skeleton inside (and since these skeletons can't speak or scream, it won't alert the others). With the two guards out of the way, the duo rushes to pick the lock to the dark mage's study room. It takes a bit of hasty team effort, but eventually, they're able to turn two of the remaining wooden matches into improvised lock-picking tools but are unable to open the door - finding that the lock has been enchanted with a warding spell. Running out of time, they choose to use the enchanted shovel instead to carve a hole in the wall of the room, beside the door, and walking in.

Within the macabre study room, which is filled with specimens preserved in alcohol/chloroform, skulls, bloodied tools and creepy sigils & an undeath tome, the duo eventually finds the safe. It seems locked with a spell, but it is thankfully small enough that the two of them can realistically carry it. It takes them a lot of effort to pry it off the wall, eventually using the enchanted shovel to carve the metal safe out of the wall it had been embedded into, without damaging it. Outside, they can hear the trapped skeleton slamming against the door of the room it was locked into, the the groans of the other approaching undead servants getting closer - their distraction must have been dealt with. Gemma puts on the gloves - as not to risk touching something rotten or just getting into raw contact with dark magic - and also picks up the mage's undeath tome, placing it atop the safe they've just pulled from the wall so they can steal both things.

Part 3 - The Escape

Pushing the small but heavy safe closer to the room's window, Ilya uses it to brace himself in order to kick the window out. After one kick, the glass began to crack, and with a second and third kick, the window flew out in shatters. With the servants getting ever closer, the duo starts to lift the safe - though with considerable difficulty - until it is at the same height as the now broken window. With a combined effort, they place it on the windowsill and push it out, letting the armored safe tumble into the dead grass below. Despite it being a big fall, the metal safe remains unscathed. Now onto the tricky part. Having run out of their limited supplies, they must figure out how to get out through this window before the servants reach them. Gemma then has an idea! Running to the dark mage's creepy wooden desk, she picks up two sturdy-looking daggers, apparently reinforced with magic as well, and climbs out of the window - the plan is for them to use the daggers as tools to hold onto the cracked stone wall until they're close enough to the ground to jump down. She gives the daggers to Ilya, who goes first - climbing out of the window, he takes a second to steady himself, before nailing one of the daggers to a crack on the wall, and then the second one. He does this again and again like a rock climbing spider, before reaching the point where he can rip out both daggers and fall to the floor unharmed. Once there, he throws the daggers into the window where Gemma is waiting, and she climbs out of the window, using the daggers to climb down just as he did. Discarding the now-damaged enchanted daggers on the floor, the duo picks up the heavy safe and the undeath tome - and then scuttles off in the direction where they first came from, into the cursed orchard and then through the iron fences - with some difficulty given the carried weight - and then out of the manor ground and towards the grey beaten dirt street where their friend, Phyneas, is waiting for them in his dad's automobile, as their getaway driver. After shoving the enchanted safe into the car and clambering in, the group drives away, quickly leaving behind the cursed manor.

🦹‍♂️GAME- morreial's heist supplies 🦹‍♂️

While I lay there, waiting (I really did want those fruits), I scoured through my drawers, looking to collect all the necessary materials for this operation: a piece of string, a lantern, oil, matches, a book, a cup, an enchanted shovel, and a pair of gloves. And, of course, my navy blue Henley I found Caramel napping in the other day.

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝✧༺♥༻∞╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

tagging the TCW crew and all my followers to ask yall a goofy question: bolded above in blue are the tools Morreial uses in chapter 18 of Throne of Vengeance (ToV) to commit a heist of an armoured vault.

My question to y'all is-- how would you (or your ocs) use those supplies to commit the heist?

lmao this is so silly, but i'm curious, because editing me is reading this for the first time in months and i'm genuinely curious on how this man managed to pull this off when THIS is what he put in his toolbox.

Have fun!

(I think the common theme between all these is a deep, underlying sadness, but they still manage to be comically different lol)

Basic Summary:

Faalgun was born on the Flying City and given up to an orphanage at a young age. It was a nice space, and though he was always a little distant from the other kids due to his runty size and serious demeanor, he had a happy childhood for the most part. He joined the Flying City Ten'ka (merchant guards) right out of school, and had the makings of a fine career as a pilot, except for one thing.

Faalgun has a bit of an addictive personality. He might be uptight, but all sense of caution goes out the window when he gets an adrenaline rush. He flies crazier, takes risks, and makes rash decisions to keep that rush going. I'm sure you can guess that when he was introduced to gambling, it didn't go well.

He racked up debt quickly. He hated himself for it, but he couldn't put down the cards - the rush of adrenaline was just too powerful. In time, the debts got so bad that he lost his career, then his life when he was beaten in an alleyway. Now, as a ghost, he's been summoned back to pilot a ship past the edge of the sun's light. He hopes to succeed in death where he failed in life.

As for appearances, he's a little dragon guy! He stands at about three and a half feet tall, has blue scales, crystalline horns, and scaly whiskers. He wears the stained uniform he died in and his neck can swivel further than it should since he died when it was broken.

He's an honorable sort who runs a tight ship, despite his craving for adrenaline. He often accounts for his own weaknesses when he makes plans, in order to minimize the harm he might cause to his allies. Care for his crew also extends to their emotional states - Faalgun is attentive and eager to lend a listening ear, though he fervently avoids letting any of his crew know about his past life. There's a deep sense of shame at his core, no matter how good of a captain he is.
