I met a unique man a bit ago. What I saw into his personality and soul and what I speculated about his childhood and past made me realize his background would make the perfect back story for a villain in a story.
His torso was covered in small moles. Front, back, everywhere. You couldn’t see them as he was also very hairy hirsute but you could feel them. In one sense… I can now describe very well touching an alien species based on reptiles. Which is perfect for the multi-dimensional series and the dinosaurs world. (Thank you, Fate!)
I imagined he’d had these all his life and without the adult body hair to conceal them must have taken a lot of emotional self-esteem shredding because of them. It explained the odd mix I’d read felt from him… a mix of hardened anger and wounded child. And it explained the oddness I’d picked up in his voice. As if he’d had a speech impediment and had overcome it. It was so subtle I almost missed it but it didn’t sound like an accent, even a second generation one.
So I imagined what his childhood may have been like and could easily see a dark and terrible road. Perfect for the motivations behind a villain. Of course, this man couldn’t have had it too bad as he turned out to be a fine individual… although he is a Republican, so…
Again.. thank you Fate. Don’t know where I’ll use this villain because the bad guy in the Slut Series is the close-minded heads-of-state family members of the hero. And the multi-dimensional world series has the sexual sadists as the villain. Hmmm… maybe this is the good guy who betrays our hero to the real villain.
Oooh, I like that. Plotting is so much fun!
