Story time!

Every once and a while, stories in my head just demand to be brought into life. I've had one particular story, involving the end of the world and a mass contest to save it(gotta love mythical influences; the world could quite possibly end! You! Humans! FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!). Heroes can be quite passe, especially if they do not have some sort of stylish opposition.

With that in mind, herin for the next few posts will be VILLANS! Because there is no worthy story without worthy badguys.


Antagonist #1.

This is Cornelius Silverspider. He's the regent lord of Trelis City, trade capital and most important city-state in the World. He's an brilliant politician and therefore a right proper douchebag. He's leading a push to allow the fae races more respect among humanity. Aka, trolls, ogres, elves, and gnomes are all just growth defects like elephantitis, giantism and dwarfism. Trelis holds social hegemony. This mandate odd since Cornelius himself is an elf. Many other fae oppose him, and seek why he has adopted this self-hating notion. Most of them die, silently and forgotten. Many more have adopted his ideology and even more are even payed by him to keep his city 'safe'.

What are his motives? Who knows? But as it stands, he has world power, very tight protection by the nastier races(who are now socially acceptable, since all of their flaws are concidered to be genetic defects), and is very, very wealthy.
