I'm currently running a dragon campaign, referred to as DnDRisk. In essence, I made a world, and graphed out all the major events/inventions/wars etc. for the next several thousand years. However, I'm running out of ideas for heros and villains in the world, and ones thrown together at the last minute would be very lame. Basically, I needs inspiration, and this seemed like the right place.

I genuflect before the CD board, share your ideas. What heros and villains have you enjoyed/made?

Damn man, i had to look up what 'genuflect' meant...

People could post a fair few heroes and villians here, and im sure you'd get alot of great characters. But if you look through the boards, youll find that there are some truly awsome characters (good and bad) that are constantly being worked on by all.

Look for any thread that Terjon the blue or cog_n_taz has been to and youll get the best results :D

But, in the spirit of helping out this thread-

-Terjak the Bold. A savage, human barbarian who brought together not only all the human barbarian tribes but brought in orc, goblin and even a clan of giants too. He lead a bloody campaign against civilistation, destroying numerous cities until and he faced off against a hobgoblin mercenary army. Both armies were all but decimated in the battle, nobody knows what happened to Terjak the Bold.

-Nobody is sure since there isnt any solid records of it. But a few records speak of a Minotaur Paladin in the service of *insert game worlds main deity of good here*. The paladin was brought down by hundereds of kobolds as he single handedly defended a town. *Note, wasnt actually a Minotaur, but a werebull)

Hope that helps kick the thread off.

Peace

Khorrash was an orcish chieftain who started the Go'kutat movement, which translates loosely to "Wall of Hope". He urged other orc tribes to take on a strict policy of minimal interaction with those outside their tribe (and those other tribes they were allied with). His reasoning was that orcish interaction with other races invariably led to war, and the orcs almost always lost in the long run - if they didn't, they were still stripped in terms of population and resources. He also called for a return to spiritual matters and a greater emphasis on worship. For his trouble, he and his tribe were turned on by their former allies; the resulting conflict lasted six months and decimated all parties involved. Khorrash did not survive - but his movement did.

See the Wikipedia entry for Villain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villain). It has 17 subtypes of villains, each with a few TV/Movie/Anime references.
