#fantasy character ideas

You know how sometimes villainous characters try to corrupt good ones to get them to join their side?

Well, what if you have one of your villainous characters try to do that, and then have it massively backfire on them. Getting the character they were trying to corrupt to now have a very intense personal vendetta against the villain.

You should have a few villains with some simple/absurd motivations.

Like relateable deep characterization is nice and all, but just having some jerk whose entire deal is going “I hate when people have fun, I’m going to ruin everything with evil magic so that no one ever has fun again” is ironically a lotta fun.

I think it’s always cool when an unquestionably heroic character uses some sort of power or item with evil origins.

Especially when the hero uses it to help very silly and mundane situations, like:

Some kid could go “Oh no my pet rock is stuck in a tree!” Then in response, some guy in a slightly horrific suit of armor that looks as if it’s alive walks up and climbs the tree barely managing to get up it before finally after like four minutes grabbing the rock, and then falling out of the tree directly onto their ass.
