How creepy is too creepy?
May. 4th, 2014 10:31 pmSo. Ukoku. Obvious villain material. Does what he wants and is generally amoral. (Canonically speaking, he's pretty much my favorite.)
In my ongoing, newest thing I'm working on, the dystopic one, he gets to be all evil scientist and creepy like that. But I'm a little worried about pushing the bounds of believability, so I come to you, f-list, for your thoughts.
Do you believe there is an upper limit to what evil scientist Ukoku will do? In other words, are there things you just plain wouldn't believe he'd do 'for science'? Are there things you think he couldn't/wouldn't justify through the pursuit of scientific knowledge but might do anyway just because he was in a position to?
Can Ukoku go to crazy-science-amorality town, have a giant metaphorical party there, and still be believable as a serious villain? I want to make him super creepy, but not so creepy that it turns ridiculous.
Thoughts?
