Ok, so me and a few others (TK, Vergil, Ethan, Richard) have decided that the board needs some conflict. It's been pretty boring as of late. So why don't we have a villain, that the whole school has to band together against?
That villain, is Richard Keral. He's volunteered himself to basically make himself an truly evil villain. Like some serious bad stuff. I mean, most of the villains here are playing nice and stuff with a smidge of asshole-ry. That ain't what we're talking about. I mean full on "kick the dog" and passing the "moral event horizon" stuff. True evil.
So, the plot ends up being, Richard finds something he can't have. I mean, he can have almost anything due to his power, manipulating himself with more powers, changing his past to make himself rich. What he can't have however, is the ability to give power to non-gifted. That's something that powers can't do. He doesn't wanna take the risk of stealing the orb, cause, frankly he'd rather not die. So instead, he turns to Olivia.
Olivia's powers have been artificially created, and all the research of her past was destroyed (see her backstory or ask me). Essentially, her genetic code is the key to creating an army of super gifted soldiers. Imagine the type of power one could wield with that... Yeah. Richard wants that.
So upon finding out about Olivia, Richard basically tries to kidnap her, but fails, and then leaves the school off to some evil lair, where he will occasionally attack the school to get to Olivia.
But what can one man do against a school of gifted + the teachers? Well, look back at his power. He can manipulate any part of himself. The ability to give himself any power he wants. Note, this won't be mary-sueing or overpowered because Richard won't go all godmode and get obliteration, but rather his own fault is he's overconfident and won't really cover his weaknesses. And his powers that he gives himself will basically have their own weaknesses.
So, Headmistresses, do you think we can pull this off? A player driven plotline rather than something by the powers that be?
