Game: How well do you know your Main Villain?

Nekohime is not from our reality, and in her reality, the major social issues look nothing like ours. The people of Nekotokoro, which is the city Nekohime built and controls, are above discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual identity, skin pigmentation etc.. Instead, discrimination is very much on the basis of whether or not your a citizen of Nekotokoro, and more importantly whether your from the actual reality of Nekotokoro, or one of the many sim worlds the technology their can create. For those who live in Nekotokoro itself, life is pretty fair, open and free. However, if you happen to be from outside the city, your rights are fairly non-exsistant as the ghastly costs of Nekotokoro's reality bending technology is largely forced on all the worlds outside it's borders.

Likewise, if you happen to be living in a simulated reality....well, your literally viewed as a product rather than an individual. In Nekotokoro, realities can be created as easily as we 3d print common untinsels, and the simulated people, who are very much sentient and very much have thoughts, feelings and emotions, have about just as many rights as a 3D printed fork has in our world.

So needless to say, while discrimination and similar issues exist within Nekotokoro, they have a very different face from the ones on our world, and being pretty much the ultimate embodiment of the corruption inherent in the very idea of what Nekotokoro represents, Nekohime could honestly care less about people from the sims and worlds outside Nekotokoro's borders. She hated realty as it was before her technology, before Nekotokoro, and she will gladly make the worlds outside her city suffer if it means she no longer has to live in a mundane world where she is slave to reality's laws rather than their master.

That being said, if we are talking about the social issues our world has instead of her's, then this becomes interesting. Thing is, while Nekohime may have caused a lot of suffering for those outside her city, her vision of a reality where the laws of nature are kicked to the curb and people are master of the universe rather than its slaves is very much a shared vision. If she was fully in it just for her own gratification, she'd not have allowed anybody and everybody to become a part of Nekotokoro and make the transition to becoming a member of her society. Those who suffer as a result of Nekotokoro are those who chose to refuse Nekohime's vision...not any specific social group she disliked. She extended a hand, and they refused to take it...so in her mind they chose their own fate. The doors to Nekotokoro are always open, but many refuse because the entry fee is the loss of your former identity...the shedding of your past culture, past species...past likes, dislikes and past self...and a full embracing of the unnatural, synthetic society of neon and pixels that is Nekohime's world. Things like discriminating against people due to their culture of origin, avatar's looks and gender etc.. are absolutely counter to what Nekotokoro is all about, which is a defiance of your old reality and the embracing of a new one where you can be whoever you want and do whatever you want. Nekotokoro is about liberation from the constraints of what you where before entering it's borders, so Nekohime cares about letting people be who they are, and letting them do so unfettered by discrimination and judgments.

So, Nekohime herself views the kind of discrimination we have on our world as utterly backwards, archaic and well, ancient. She finds it just plain dumb, however, at the same time, she also finds it interesting in the same way one may find a serial killer or Nazi history interesting. Nekohime has a very twisted, morbid side to her, and while she'd not ever tolerate seeing such things inflicted upon the people who choose to embrace her city and what it stands for, when it comes to simulated people...whom she sees as simple "data"....well then anything is fair game. In fact, the more brutal and horrific the reality the sims are forced to face, the more she enjoys it....it's essentially like, suprise suprise, an immature kid doing horrible things to their characters in a sims game. Since she sees the people in her simulated worlds little more than quantum data, she gets sick pleasure from putting them through all kinds of horrors, including the horrors of history as well as those she dreams up herself.

Your villain has just sat down to dinner and has been served their favorite dish....what is it?

To a degree, yes. The protagonist and my villain are actually extremely simmilar. Both are unhappy with reality and really don't like living in "everybody else's" world. However, due to the differences in their families and how they where raised, the protagonist ends up trying her best to live in a "normal" world even though it can be difficult at times, while the antagonist instead decided living in a "normal" world was something she didn't want, and therefore smashed apart that normal world and built her own, crazy one from the pieces. So I think Nekohime could have ended up, well, not calling herself Nekohime... and not being a sadistic, genocidal dictator....if the environment she came from was more supportive and her family was less quick to indulge her every whim in lieu being there themselves to teach her right from wrong

Speaking of family, if your villain was suddenly a mom or dad, how would they take up their new found role? Would they be a bad, neglectful or even abusive parent? Would they try and mold the kid into their ideal successor? Or maybe the'd actually be a good parent and show the child the love and attention they would need?

Currently, Nekohime isn't bound by time like we are. She can be anywhere she wants, anywhen she wants...and she can change the time of day with a simple thought. (she can also destroy a multiverse with a single thought, but that's besides the point.). Her current form also requires no sleep to function... so now a days she often has no idea what time of day it is, and frankly has no need to care about that when she can spin the clock to any hour she likes as easily as a child solves a simple math problem.

That being said, prior to becoming what she is now, she was very much a night owl. She'd often stay up until long past midnight playing videogames or goofing off.

Your villain has died and gone to hell....to which circle (as in the circles of hell portrayed in Dante's Inferno) do they end up getting sent to, and why?

Nekohime's pet is fittingly, a kitty. Miss. Momo is Nekohime's best friend and the only perso...err...life form that really understands her. She loves spending time with Momo...holding conversations with her, feeding her...playing games with her. She takes great care to keep her extra clean...because she gets so dirty whenever they play games togther. Nekohime loves her precious Momo... so despite the massive temptation do not tell her that Momo is just a plush toy, and a pretty deranged and creepy-looking one at that. If you do, you'll wish you where dead...

Your villain is given a choice of three weapons...a sword with potent enchantments, a magic staff that lets them cast spells if they can figure out how to do so, or a simple modern handgun. Which do they choose, and why?

(New Villain (and protagonist) I'm working on for my latest project.)

Alicia Is 16 at the start of the story, but she's also dead, and in hell. If she was - 10 years, she'd be scared out of her mind...a six year old and demons don't quite mix, and she's be too weak and too scared as a small child to be able to make any meaningful gains in the conquest game she's been placed into by Lucifer.

If she was + 10 years, she'd likely have been a lot more involved in her father's business empire before she died, and have a tad bit more maturity, so she'd take the conquest game far more seriously and probably be a lot more efficient at capturing demons and taking portions of hell, though she'd still try and find time to enjoy the game like she does as a 16 year old.

Your villain has a little niece or nephew, or if they can't a young relative of another type, who idolizes them and desperately wants to be like them. Does your villain take them under their wing, or try to set them on a different track?
