Thread: Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do...

oooo.... this might turn out to be goood...!
I'll write at least one file on a hero/sidekick, just tell me what you're looking for.

Haha, nice. For heroes I'm guessing we'll need

-the kind hearted, well meaning and talented young swordsman that everyone likes to tease but whose destiny it is to defeat the villain
-the seemingly cold hearted, aggressive and angry youth who's father/mother/sister/brother/guardian was brutally murdered by the villain
-the beautiful but sexually frustrasted young maiden whom everyone wants to protect even though she can take care of herself
-the tried and true, wise and experienced guide/advisor/strategist
-the naive young priestess that blindly followed the well meaning, kind hearted and talent young swordsman, and who has conveniently powerful healing abilities
-the noble, strong and cool-headed knight that leads them even though everyone knows it's the well meaning, kind hearted and talented young swordsman who's supposed to save the day
-the cheeky, quick witted young theif who can practically turn him/herself invisible and pick any lock

That sort of thing, yes?

Oh, wait ... did you put heroes in inverted commas? You mean our baddy characters don't you? Ah well ... we need actual heroes too, lol.

That's what I meant, yes. Nice list though.

Sounds interesting...I'm gonna need an example of a FBI file tho.

Good point... let's call them AVF files then. (AVF stands for Anti-Villian Force, in other words, we'll make up our own enemy organisation).

any basic intelligence file contains a few must haves. to name but a few real ones;

1) Full Name (real)
2) Age (guess or real)
3) Race
4) Height (rough or accurate)
5) Weight (guess or accurate)
6) DNA records (yes/no)
7) previous criminal charges
8/ Known relatives
9) Contacts

etc, etc.

Basically an intelligence report is made up of imformation about the suspect that will not change. Thats enough info for you guys to make you own i guess but since we're 'super villians' you should add things like, powers, henchmen, partners and IQ.

If we make the file part psychological profile we could add some other nasty stuff.

We should probably have appearance and alias' in there too.

And maybe some form of history/bio.

True, true. I was thinking about using Heromachine to create their apperance, it's easy to use and pretty good for this sort of thing (not to mention that it gives the characters a slightly comic-esque look that fits the style we're going for).

You mentioned that a scientist was required. Could I encorporate that into the role of my advisor (the mad Russian scientist accent is one of the most awesome accents in the world). I promise not to quote Boris' last words too often (for those unfamiliar with GoldenEye, watch it. Now. And then watch the rest of the Bond series. Except "From Russia With Love", "For Your Eyes Only" and "The World is Not Enough", you don't have to subject yourself to those.)

Heromachine looks a bit wierd but it should be ok.
(i agree, Goldeneye is good. You forgot to mention 'Moonraker' for the black list tho, it sucks. The rest rock tho.)

Like this? For a trial one:

I even put the picture in for you...

History: Andrew Driggs was born to a poor family in an isolated village, and struggled through childhood at the hands of his (often drunk and stoned) parents. When whiling away time one day, he discovered that if he took a butter knife and hit small animals with it, red came out of them. He was so pleased with this discovery, that he immediately went and stole a bigger knife. However, the new knife was too sharp, and he ended up killing all the animals that he hit.

Dismayed by the animals’ lack of perseverance, he started catching bigger ones and tying them up so they couldn’t escape. On them, he mastered his torturous skills, and when he finally moved up to humans (as was inevitable), he discovered an inventive streak that made his pastime so much more entertaining.

However, it was not long after that when people started to get a bit suspicious. People were disappearing, and Andrew would appear a few days later covered in something that looked suspiciously like blood. His parents were too high to care, but eventually the others banded together and tracked him down in his little hideaway in the woods outside the village.

They discovered him poised over a man, holding a roaring chainsaw and grinning like a maniac. That was all the proof they needed (or, come to think of it, all the proof anyone would have needed – I mean, there’s not much you can say to defend yourself if you’re caught in such a situation, is there?), and they unceremoniously threw him in jail while they waited for the state police to arrive.

Andrew managed to escape from prison, using a file he had hidden (I’ll not go into details of where he hid it, except to say he was walking pretty gingerly after that…) to saw through the bars. He fled, and eventually made his way into the nearest city, grabbing his chainsaw back from the woods on the way

While there, he was overjoyed at all the havoc he could cause, and all the people that he could torture. It was like a kid being given an all-you-can-eat voucher in a sweet shop. Eventually, though, he was found by EvilCorp™, and recruited for his prodigious talents as a torturer – although someone always had to sit in on the sessions, otherwise he might forget to actually ask any questions…

Nice one Rahvin.

I couldn't figure out how HeroMachine works, though that could simply be due to lack of patience wth my dial-up connection. (Also, Moonraker is good. If I were to add any other Bond movie to the list it would be Die Another Day, which is only enjoyable when you attempt to pick out the scenes which are replicas of others in the series. Oh, and all the non-EON films must be avoided at all costs; they do to the Bond series what Eragon does to fantasy - generally discourage anyone who has not seen/read better to look elsewhere)

cool. nothing else to say really, cept i'm next!
