I absolutely know that I'm not used to roleplaying evil, I'll freely admit that, it's not a thing I enjoy. My feeling though was that there is a different between being arrogant, killing a giant spider and just jumping down a random hole that could lead potentially nowhere. It would be the equivalent of parachuting out of a plane over something like mediaval Europe. You'll have no idea where you've ended up and the odds are good that you'll be nowhere useful, while you have a ticking clock in your head. But like I said, the jump points make the risks of that moot.
Watch The Sopranos - one of the reasons that it is considered some of the best television that has ever existed is because it does such an incredible job of portraying sociopathic criminality as it pertains to human evil. That show IS a study in what evil looks like.
it also 100% paved the way for shows like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, and the Wire - with Anti hero protagonists. Nobody thought you could get away with that before The Sopranos.
Btw, those are also excellent Templates for evil.
High risk, high reward behavior, purely selfish motivations, emotional manipulation, sentimentality that extends to babies and pets that people conflate with actual compassion, aggression confused for cooperation. Talk therapy used as a furtherance of criminal enterprise, and insatiable lust for money, power, and carnal pleasures (food and sex) that can never be satisfied. Its fucking brilliant. That is your template - as soon as I get the body type I am making
Tavy Soprano and going full mafioso.
lol.
"You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Your mama always said you'd be the chosen one
She said, you're one in a million
You got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes
When you woke up this morning
All that love had gone
Your papa never told you
About right and wrong
But you're, but you're looking good, baby
I believe that you're feeling fine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you're, but you're one in a million
'Cause you've got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes, yea
Woke up this morning
You got yourself a gun
Got yourself a gun
Got yourself a gun"
