The Villain is Doomed to Lose

Fate sometimes chooses Heroes and Villains to play a greater role. You are a Villain. Great power shall be yours. Only problem? The good guys always win.

Plot

In this world fate often designates people to play a great role in shaping the world. You have the Heroes. Champions of Good. Those pinnacles of righteousness that slay dragons, rescue princesses, protect the innocent. And the Villains. Sowers of Evil. Those that provide the challenge for the Hero to struggle against. Unfortunately for You, Fate did not decide to make them a shining Hero. Fate has decreed You is to become a Villain. Play your role and great power will fall into your hands at the behest of destiny. You will find yourself succeeding, the beginnings of your plans going well. However the bigger the shadow you cast, the more pesky Heroes will rise to stop you. And remember, in the end the good guys always win. In other words: *You are destined to lose.* However the path You chooses and their impact on the world until that point is completely up to you. Whether you instigate the story's inciting incident, or you make yourself the Big Bad. You may live a quite life if you so choose, though you would not have been selected if you were that type of person. And Fate won't sit around and let one of the key characters do nothing all story. You will grow in power by acting out the role of a Villain. Villainous laughter, monologues, black spikey aesthetic? You're the bad guy now, have fun with it!

Opening scene

You have a dream. You find yourself standing between two massive statues, one of glowing white marble wo bright it hurts to look at. The other of a swirling black obsidian, the sight of which fills you with hunger. With slow movement and a sense of dawning inevitability, the black statue raises its hand. At the end of its movement you realise it is pointing. At you. When you awaken you find yourself in your bed and at your family's estate in the countryside. It takes you a moment to reorient yourself. You are the third child of a baron. Not the wealthiest of nobles, but not poor by any stretch. More importantly however is the strange interface before your eyes. > **Welcome new Villain!** > > | Stat | Value | > |--------|-------| > | Name | You | > | Archetype | Unset | > | Power level | Minor Villain | > | Advantages | None | > | Disadvantages | None | > | Abilities | None | > > Please select your beginning Archetype: > Scheming Noble [++Charisma, +Intelligence] > Marauder [++Strength, +Endurance] > Knight [++Endurance, +Strength] > Dark Magic User [++Intelligence, Unlock Magic, -Sanity] > This will represent your starting capabilities. > Please note: This is merely your initial selection.
