Well let's see... It depends on what you consider a villian. I think I'll start with what the oldest ones I can remember and just involve anyone who's be even sort of considered one at some point
He's initially portrayed as an enemy, but as you learn more about him as Risa is in his care, you realize that he's not at all a bad guy. Yes, kidnapping someone and using them as bait is not a great thing to do, but you realize the reasons behind it. So to some degree, he is a villian, but not really??
All he wanted was to give another soul a heart (something you can't just give) and he's really just a very shut in and naive piece of living art. He's also got a lot of unstable power, which is why he was sealed at one point (or attempted to be.)
He's seen as a major road block for a good chunk of the series, constantly getting in the way of the other Guardians and Amu to destroy X Eggs. But he also shows humanity in multiple occasions that shows he's not as bad as he acts. (I.E. Accidentally ruining Amu's tart and offering her a whole bag of sweets as an apology.) Everyone else is insist ant that
because he's working for Easter, he's a bad guy and he's happy to play up that role as much as possible. And then you find out that he's really just incredibly lonely and only really doing ti to find answers about his missing father and to ensure that his little sister, Utau, does not have to do the dirty work. He's happy to take 5he blame for other
Mistakes that those he cares about makes without a second thought to protect them and while it doesn't specifically go into he it must make him feel internally, I'd like to think that it's really hard on him to always be hated, but he's okay with it if it means keeping his loved ones safe. In fact, that's his defense mechanism.
He often makes Amu hate him intentionally so that she'll be less likely to run into Easter and therefore danger because she'll want to avoid him. Of course, it doesn't work that simply, but it works to some degree. He is 120% the kind of guy who will put himself in harms way to protect those he cares about. He would push someone out of the way of a bus and
Take it himself so long as it saves them. He does, of course, still have villian tendencies sort of because he likes to play up the bad guy role intentionally, but he's really a good guy past all of the walls he has up.
So I've pretty much retired Cinder because I don't think I'd play her as she is anymore. She's interesting yet and I like her but it didn't really suit me anymore. That aside, I played her way back during season 2-3 when she would go on and on able knowing the plan when it's time, but having no idea what that was oocly. People would ask and I'd sweat and
Make up some random ic excuse where she wouldn't say because oocly I was like "Jejdbjsjshha IDK". Cinder interested me with her character design and her Semblence at first. I remember the first episode when you saw a teaser of her and I went... Fuck she looks so cool. So I was psyched to see her in season 2 more. She was very much a "shut up and just follow
The orders I give you" type of person and I couldn't help but think "my queen." of course now we have season 4 onward and while she's still interesting, she sort of lost my interest as far as playing her. I did have Cinder-ella as her Un though so I thought that was clever rofl
Lol okay so Connor HEAVILY DEPENDS ON THE PLAYERS ROUTE as far as how he turns out. You can play him as deviant or machine. Honestly, I always played him deviant because it interested me more than Machine but I still need to finish flow charts for that. Even though I play him as a deviant, there are plenty of opportunities to be the bad guy and enemy of your
Own race. Not belonging with other androids due to your position and functionality, but also always being third rate to humans everywhere. If you so chose to, you could chase after Kara across the highway, kill the Tracies, shoot Chloe, cause Hanks death, remain a machine and try to assassinate Marcus and the other Jericho androids... Ect....
I persona chose to explore the "or shit, have I been a deviant this entire time??" route myself, so he's more of a reformed bad guy than anything how I play him.
Oh man... She'd been floating around for a while and attempted 2 horror games that... Never got far rofl. But Minene is a terrorist bomber who focuses religious buildings and organizations due to her past before becoming a diary holder. Her diary is the Escape Diary, which allows her to find ways out of sticky situations with ease. She had no issues blowing
An entire school to kill Yuuki and Yuno when the games started. She starts off in maybe episode 2 as someone who appears to be fucking nuts, but as the series rolls on, you realize that she's actually one of the most level headed people in the series somehow. The tl;Dr of her past is that her family was caught in a religious war in a foreign country and her
Parents died in bombings, leaving her all alone to have to take care of herself as a 8 year old orphan. With years of trying to survive on her own through stealing and any other means, she's learned that she can't trust anyone and all she could rely on is herself. It isn't until Nishijima continues to choose to stay by her side that she really has someone
Who genuinely cares about her after so long of fending for herself. She helps Yuuki periodically because he reminds her a lot of herself at that age. In the end, she states that she just wanted someone to save her too. While she's not a full blown villian, the nature of survival games does a good job to push her towards that. But when it all comes down to it
She eventually says "fuck this, I don't want tbecome God anymore." and just tried to survive while Yuuki and Yuno are causing a mess of their own on their end. She does come back as the bad ass she is and I'm so damn glad for that.
In her time she's lost so much shit in her life. Her parents at a young age, her eye to a dart, her arm to an explosion, the only man who's ever actually cared about her (whom she loved), and then her life shortly after. She's lost so much in her life and put up with so much that she's developed a "I don't give a fuck about anyone but myself" mentality for
Akechi is the first 120% villian of all the characters I've played rofl. I tend to play good guys or people in between them. Like I stated at the beginning, he's straight up a walking spoiler, but easy enough to avoid them if I needed to. Akechi came to me as no surprise when you really consider his past and personality. All you have to do is read the
Blurb about Minene and go.... "yep. That not surprising." because tbh, Akechi heavily reminds me of Minene, but I still think she had it worse in a lot of ways where she would probably tell him to suck it up. (cr between them 3ould be phenomenal) but yeah so he shares a lot of similarities to her and I did not expect to love him as much as I still do now
He's got a shitty dad and a mom who killed herself due to the stigma that came from being a single mother (I'm a bit rusty so forgive me if I'm off on details). So that left Akechi to hover around in orphanages and various family houses before striking it out on his own. He was determined to get revenge for his life being ruined and did whatever it took to
Get by. In order to become a beloved public figure for his plans, he started to become (outwardly) what everyone else wanted him to be in order to get people to like him. He studied hard to be the smartest in the class and school. His social image became everything that despite how he may actually felt, he pain stakingly thought things out to make him seem
Like a good guy in order to exact his revenge. Much like Minene, he realized quick enough that the only person he could rely on was himself and therefore friends would only hs him down. They were a waste of time. And yet for all the power and intelligence he had, he still couldn't be 5he hero he always wanted to be as a boy. By the time the phantom thieves
Came around and offered their friendship (hesitantly), he'd already gone too far to be able to accept said friendship, despite wanting people to want him around and like him deep down.
The thing that attracted me to him was that he's an extremely complex character with a lot to work with. I really like him for his character and even though he knows that he's a piece of shit, it's for those faults that draws me in.
Makina appears to be a small child, but she's really a very powerful Enforcer officer. She manages to break down a barrier that's protecting and hiding a Transgressor village with no issues whatsoever. She's artificially made to hunt down Transgressors and absolutely delights in killing them, claiming to be simply "playing" with them. She can kill
A Transgressor with a cheerful smile on her face at the same time, making her a slightly unnerving character. But she does show some signs that she's not just a doll made for the twin's goals. She gave me deviant android vibes at time as far as becoming more aware of what was going on around her during some parts of the story and skits.
She is an actual villian due to her up bringing and her creation and never derives from that, relentlessly hunting down the main group and any other Transgressors that show up.
I never really got past random memes for her, but once upon a time I wanted to play Misa a little. I wouldn't quite consider her Yandere (she's borderline), but she has no issues killing others to help Light out as Kira. Of course this makes her a perfect pawn form Light to manipulate and use, but she doesn't seem to really mind.
She would have died if it wasn't for Light saving her unintentionally. She became indebted to him and aggressively loyal to him and his cause. Being a popular model (and actress? I don't remember) made her a great pawn. I'd be lying if I said I remembered too much from Death Note this many years out, but shes still an intriguing character to me.
I do have to say that I still would have preferred if she ended dul with Matsuda later on because Light is a piece of shit and that only shows more as the series progresses. While Matsuda actually shows that he cares about her genuinely while acting as her manager.
