If you'd rather not have to spend too much time reading about my character and want some ideas on how to interact, here are some potential hooks that we could start the RP with:
Aries has a very sadistic nature and loves to torment and bully people.
Aries is always looking for new servants and staff for his castle.
Aries is the head of various criminal syndicates throughout several dimensions.
Aries' bodily fluids are all extremely addictive. Vampires and other such creatures avoid him for this reason, considering him a risk not worth taking.
Aries is the 'Demon Lord' of various existing dimensions and is occasionally visited by heroes trying to prove themselves.
Aries has an enormous number of bounties on him throughout many known dimensions.
Origins of The Antagonist™
Aries Villanite was born as the research project of a madman seeking to give shape to the power-hungry voices in his head. He and countless other children had lives filled with manipulation, experimentation, and modifications forced onto their bodies. However, As Aries grew older, his patience for his Great Father’s experiments grew thinner and thinner, especially since they weren’t only physical or scientific. They would separate the children, execute them, torture them, and demean them, performing psychological and traumatizing experiments to monitor their reactions and development in the face of this adversity.
In his early life, Aries never quite understood why his loved ones would sometimes vanish from his life. He was told that this was the way of the world and that loss was inevitable, but something didn’t sit right with him. When he gained access to the files of the scientists controlling his life, his thirst for blood became unquenchable.
Aries rallied the other subjects in an uprising, leading a rebellion and slaughtering countless scientists and guards in the process. Unfortunately, that was when the so-called Great Father showed the depths of his true nature. The subjects following Aries began to die en mass due to the Great Father’s killswitch, a contingency plan for this situation.
What the Great Father didn’t predict, however, was the genetic removal of his killswitch in a handful of subjects. Rage fueled the last remaining subjects as they tore through the remaining facility and hunted down the Great Father.
Aries and the others cornered the Great Father in the station’s power reactor, a complex machine utilizing quantum-level space manipulation to generate power. The Great Father meant to use the machine’s volatility as a shield, ensuring the subjects that if he died, the machine would explode and rip them apart on a quantum level. Just as he was finished making his threat, however, Aries charged at him, slammed his golden claws into the Great Father’s chest, and crushed his heart as the two of them fell into the reactor.
Aries awoke alone in a jungle soon after. He could find no evidence of the Great Father, the facility, or his siblings. Aries spent the next few years alone in this jungle, learning to survive and exploring his surroundings.
Eventually, he learned that he was on an island, and after his third year, he began having dreams about the reactor. Every night, he would have the same dream of staring at the reactor’s core, watching its beautiful blue glow slowly get consumed by dark tendrils. It took a while, but he eventually noticed these tendrils were coming from him. One night, the darkness fully consumed the core before suddenly exploding in a brilliant golden light.
When Aries woke up, he was in an alleyway in a busy city. After startling some locals, Aries eventually learned that he was in a city he had never heard of. Reports of a suspicious person led the local law enforcement to look for him. Aries tried to talk to them, but his gray skin, golden claws, pointed ears, sharp teeth, and black sclera unsettled these humanoids. They chose to shoot the monster rather than communicate with it.
Aries narrowly avoided the gunshots, and as he began running away, his hand began to glow. With a lunge forward, he was once more enveloped in a golden light, then suddenly found himself back on his jungle island, just as he had left it.
After this, Aries began practicing this new ability and eventually learned that he could teleport himself to different dimensions and that his body adapted to any place he went. To an extent. While language barriers didn’t exist for him, his body was often seen as a frightening sight, depending on where he went.
Aries has been wandering the dimensions for many years now. On his island, he has built a massive castle in the center of the jungle. He has also used his longevity and powers to amass vast wealth in various dimensions, becoming the CEO of several companies and even the head of a handful of crime families. He now travels through dimensions to find entertainment and, occasionally, companions to bring back to his island.
Notes from Writer
Hello! Thank you for taking a look at my silly little profile. I've been role-playing since 1999, when I discovered it in some Yahoo! Chatrooms. Since then, I've enjoyed all forms of role-play. These days, I don't RP nearly as much as I used to, as I have a lot of different things going on now, but I do like to RP occasionally if I find someone fun to write a story with. Because I can't commit to serious long-term RP's anymore, I honestly prefer finding more laidback RP partners or short scenes to play out. Admittedly, I also love ERP and the exploration of kinks and fetishes via RP, so if you like doing that, let's be friends! I have an F-List, but the takeaway is that I have almost no limits regarding RP.
I try to make Aries fit into any universe, so I love getting random starters, but if you'd like to discuss something ahead of time, we can do that, too. Or, if you want to learn about my universe (Aries' canon origins), we can chat about that! If you'd like to learn more about Aries or keep up with some of his official content, please visit the character's main website.
Also, I love in-character photo comments! Both giving and receiving! Just making that known.
Anyway, while I do tend to be more laid back with my RP these days, there are a few personal rules I'd like to mention:
I am not my character; you are not yours. We are writing fictional stories. Please don't construe them as anything more than that.
My character is not obligated to like or get along with yours, nor is yours obligated to mine. Contentious character interactions can be fun in their own way, so please don't think our characters must be besties out of the gate.
My character is evil. Keep that in mind, please. Dead Dove, so to speak.
Aries' pocket dimension is totally under his control. Please be aware of this if your character enters it.
Aries has a female form named Arielle. If you prefer I use her, just ask.
Due to the limited time I have to commit to RP, I'm quite selective about my RP, so please don't take it personally if I decide I don't want to RP with you.
While I'm not necessarily looking to have a bunch of RP partners (I don't have the mental capacity for that), please do note that unless otherwise specified, any RP with Aries is done in its own, self-contained AU from all the others.
Do not rush me or press me for replies. My life can get very suddenly busy from time to time. If I have to stop a RP, I will tell you.
I spend most of my Friday nights on VRChat. Not really a rule, but just an FYI and passive invitation.
If you like to RP on Discord, feel free to add me: Villanite
If you have specific ideas for our RP, please feel free to share them! Otherwise, if you want to just send over a starter and dive right in, I'm game!
I may add or change rules here without warning or notice.
Finally, I want to mention something that is a bit too wordy to be included in the rules list. Despite my #1 rule, I do also understand that RP is often an outlet for trauma and difficult emotions. Sometimes, while we joke about and can be dismissive about our "dark themes" we tend to forget that these are heavy topics for us, even if we act like they aren't. Because of this, and because I'm a huge proponent for healthy communication, I am a big fan of having an 'aftercare-style' moment after any kind of intense and dark RP scenario to discuss and reflect. I'm not saying that if you RP an SA scene with me I'm going to force you into a voice call to talk about your feelings, but I do think it's at least worth acknowledging that we created something very dark together and that these kinds of things, and the enjoyment of them, doesn't come out of nowhere. I hope this makes sense or resonates with someone, at least.
