So, weary adventurer, do you like villainy? You found the right place. Charon's greatest are found here in this not so secret lair of evil. We are few and far between, we have to stick together. Betrayal is expected, but at least we can brood out a window on a stormy bleak day together. What evil machinations do you have planned? Are your minions and lackeys causing you to fail constantly at world domination? Do you doubt if your evil compound creepy enough and need some support? Is your oversized chair and executive desk not big enough to accommodate your massive ego? We are here to help. The Guild of Calamitous Intent has a few rules: - Be Evil
- Don't Be Good
- Bring pizza...its hard to pay the bills when you spend a fortune on minion insurance
Discuss whatever you wish, wait until the good guys find out...they are going to be pretty jealous. Let's point and laugh at them.
Villains unite under the banner of a false sense of superiority and diabolical and draconian dealings.
We are laughing at you heroically inclined Thread stalker.

Hi. I'm just here to kill people for Big Boss Tarkhan (and also for no real reason in particular; sometimes an archer just wants to shoot someone in the face).
We need to get an IC evil persons meetup going. "Evil Or Questioning," free pizza and Blixt, the whole shebang. (The pizza and Blixt are poisoned.)

Sometimes needless and unexplainable violence is needed, know your worth Granth.
Research will show that Blixt causes insane amounts of cancer and diabetes...which makes it more appropriate for how evil this thread is. That's why we are sponsored by Blixt TM Darq.
The pizza being poisoned is Plague's fault....they got a "discount" and it's just reheated 5 day year old pizza.

Raguel, The Flame of Justice
The light shines where it will. Bloodshed, chaos, death, war, despair: when the gods' voices broke the silence of the Age of Wonder, they could not have known that only these words would be heard. They could not comprehend that their blessings might be rejected, that they might be blamed for the woes of mortal existence. The birth of heresy marked the beginning of The Collapse.
A war against the heavens - one where there could be no hope - began. The gods used their mortal followers as peons, fodder to be sent to die on the battlefield while their own powers razed cities and obliterated armies on mere whim. And yet, another thing that the gods couldn't predict, their dissidents resisted! The blood of the omnipotent stained the scorched fields. And so the war would rage for eight centuries of suffering.
It is hard to fathom now, but there was a time when it was thought that the gods might be defeated. The heretics pushed back, banishing angels to the Heavens. The forces of mortality showed their worth with every city they reclaimed, every portal they sealed, every fist they raised against the divine tyrants - but, in time, the gods proved the futility of their struggle. For, in the flames of Heaven, Ginma began to forge new beings of divine metal. And Solaria breathed, unto them each, a virtue. The archangels were created: Ramiel, the Light of Hope; Azrael, the Breath of Life; Zadkiel, the Blessing of Mercy; and Raguel, the Flame of Justice. Others' names were lost to time, for they were as innumerable as they were powerful.
Raguel was a scourge upon the world. With his axe, called Executioner; and his bladed chain, called Jury; he cut through the heretics like a scythe through grass. He thrived on the battlefield, where he could see justice done with unrestrained cruelty. He and the other archangels were unstoppable, for they could not truly die as long as their virtues existed in the world. It was this gift of universal immortality that granted them the strength to end the war, once and for all.
The end of The Collapse is breathed in the annals of history, known to all that listen: the gods crushed the uprising, but left the world in ruins. The land had never known a greater slaughter, and hasn't since. Of those that lived, few retained any love for the gods, for they'd been forced to kill their own kin in this godly crusade. The gods looked upon the sundered land - the sundered hope - and, for the first time, knew regret. And so they abandoned the world once more, this time with the promise that they would never again infringe upon the freedom of mortality.
All those that knew the Heavens as home returned there: gods, angels, archangels and the souls of the faithful, with the sorrow of pyrrhic victory in their hearts. But not all of them felt remorse; there were those who refused to see the error as the gods had. They demanded a return to the mortal realm - a second and final crusade. Few were so fervent in their opposition as Raguel, who knew no pity. His protests turned to vehemence, his threats turned to violence against even his fellow angels. The truth became clear: he could not be swayed from his destructive path. For the first time, the gods would need to punish their own. Raguel would need to die.
But, with the gifts that very gods gave him, Raguel could not be killed so long as justice exists in the world - not even by the gods themselves. And so they would enlist deception: they sent Ramiel, one of Raguel's most trusted companions, to escort Raguel to the realm of Inferno in the domain of Hell, where justice is a meaningless word.
Ramiel succeeded in luring Raguel to the vile world of sin. But, when it came time to extinguish the Flame of Justice, Ramiel wavered. He offered mercy, a chance at redemption. As thanks, Raguel incinerated him and sentenced every particle of heavenly ash to its own eternity of punishment.
Ramiel failed; Raguel lived. Alive but estranged, Raguel could not return to the heavens - an exile. But he felt no sorrow, nor regret, nor shame; he felt only the need to see justice done, as he always had. He looked upon the realm to which he'd been banished and saw the innumerable sin, and roared with divine fury! He began a crusade of his own; not even Inferno's army of fire giants could stand against him as he marched into the Hellfire Forge and slaughtered the realm's master, Belphegor the Inventor. By the time he declared his campaign complete, he was the only living being in Inferno. And so there were none to contest his claim of lordship.
Raguel saw the Hellfire Forge that burned with unquenchable flame, which had once forged weapons for the armies of Hell, and decided that he might put it to a more 'righteous' use. He gave the realm a new name - Penitence - and declared this:
"Here is the home of the guilty, where they shall taste justice and see their sin burned away. Here is the home of redemption, where the sinful shall rot and know their failure. Here is the home of salvation, where the wretched might serve a purpose divine. I welcome you - all of you. Come and know virtue."
