Evil =/= Antagonist

An Antagonist would be a force in which for PCs to organize and act against, basically each Antagonist is like an individual plot to deal with. Which is why Elf is controlling how many and what PCs are Antagonists.
To add to this, I'll again use Tom as an example (sorry for this :( ). He would again, normally be in my antagonist slot, but since he has the potential to actually switch sides and work with any other PCs instead of against them all, he's in a regular slot. His alignment is actually true neutral either way.

So like Knick said, you can have an antagonist that is actually Chaotic Good and a regular PC that's Lawful Evil. It has to do with their role rather than alignment. Though it's likely that most antagonists will lean towards the evil side of things, but it's not a requirement, just a trend.

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

Well, an antagonist who is Chaotic Good is likely to be redeemable, I would imagine. Shirou, Sakura etc. would certainly have issues with killing such a person. But, surely there will be conflict between non-antagonist characters as well (Tom being an example of that). What is the distinction here?

Antagonists EXIST for creating conflict and being a driving force of some kind.

Anything else they bring is extra.

It is their purpose. To cause conflict and force action.

Bdoom, fix the scaling on Sakura and put her weaknesses in the sheet too. Expand on mephistopheles in Faust's sheet as well. He's just kind of there and super vaguely strong.

Also, erase the stuff about scaling you copypasted from the sheet template and just left in faust's sheet for some reason.

Kat I'll want to talk to you about some of Mordred's 101 abilities, nothing srs but stuff I want to clarify before approving.

Some characters have now been approved and put in the list, will do more when it's not 1am.

You mean, you Nachos or Elf want to talk? Because in case of Elf she should get on Skype much earlier than my 4 AM, I cannot afford to stay that long today.

Alright cool

Also if you use one of Mordred's gorillion abilities on/at someone in a manner that actually affects them, please point out which one it is in here(or IC, depending on how often mordred lists her abilities in full name) so people can just ctrl+f it on your sheet.

I planned that from the beginning, Nachos.

If any doubts with Tar's sheet please point them out. I will also endorse to point out which Embed I'm using in the RP when the time comes.
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

So if the character development comes to pass would it be possible to convert a regular player character into a villain one with GM consent?

So if anyone else was interested in the answer to this Elf said that it could happen but it would be a case by case thing.

Oh, Fuck. I've got to make some concrete shit up for Mephistopheles?

Did you really think that you wouldn't have to? Vaguely explained things in sheets always turn out badly in RPs.

I wasn't planning on ever summoning him though, so I thought I might not have to. He's just there because he was on ther on the original sheet.

Decided that, because of certain overlapping similarities, my Demon's primary Cover will be similar in looks to Avenger.
