Welcome to Gaia! ::

there are some that i jsut love and some i hate that i dispise. But iv read the Fready vs Jason (easy reading but this is one of the first ones i thought up) but i like them. hm im looking at the books i have read and the most of them have no vilions only anti heros.

I tend not to like villains who are . . . well, obviously or actively evil/antisocial villains. Or read many books with them in, come to think of it o_O If I had to pick a favourite antagonist, it would have to be a character probably no one's heard of from an obscure, probably now out of print book called The Song of Phaid the Gambler by Mick Farren. There's a hyper-intelligent non-human in it called Solchaim who manipulates a drug-addled female president from not-quite behind the scenes. His species, the elaihim, try to keep themselves to themselves but are constantly harangued by barbaric humans in a post-apocalyptic future. He himself has acquired ironically human qualities, including bouts of cruelty and the desire to set the intelligence hierarchy straight (elaihim at the top, humans like dumb pets beneath them).

I really liked him and sympathised with him as a character. It's hard to describe him or his abilities without him coming off as cliche, but he really is quite original and was definitely a more unique 'villain' type character. He would psychically goad the protagonist later on one way or the other, sometimes rendering him helpless under torrents of affection and encouragement and other times instilling abject fear with god-like mental punishment. That section of the book is a real rush. One of those who was probably doing something quite justified and logical, but silly humans and their selfish desires being the protagonist and his aims in life got in the way.

If you like primitive sci-fi-ish novels, I really recommend the novel, by the way. Way underrated and far too obscure for its value D:

OH! Raistilin from Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance novels. He's.... both a good guy and a bad guy, betraying his 'friends' and twin brother (He's so mean! All CAramon ever did was care about him, even puting him before the woman he loved and all his friends!), but saving the whole world.... I think I counted four times for sure. Lessee...

A) dropped Takhisis's sheild so Tanis could kill her
B) sta;yed in the Abbyss so he couldn't destroy the world
C)Gave Palin the staff and tools to wound Chaos
D)HElped the gods find the world after Takhisis stole it. HOW CAN YOU BLOODY LOSE A WORLD?

I think he's a very . . . . multi-dimensional character sweatdrop Nah, really though. I still think he's one of the good guys. Spoiler ----> That thing with Dumbledore was totally fake. Snape didn't really kill him. That's just my thought on the situation, though.

And, eek! Everyone mentioned such interesting villains! But . . . . I've never heard of most of them O.o;

Spoiler: That was all too suspicious, though. The timing, the comments Dumbledore made to Harry and such around the time that it happened. There has to be a twist to the situation. End of spoiler razz

My favorite villin is the government it this book called the bar code tattoe I like it only because it relates not only to the book but to real people you would have to read the book to fully understand

I forgot SD!! How can I have forgotten SD? ARe you in the Hobey Ho, Pendragon Guild? You should join...
