STORY STARTER
You're an Evil Overlord who has ruled over you dominion for ages. Your secret? Social services are well funded, orphanages are places of love, the pediatric wings in hospitals are state of the art. Thanks to this no child has the tragic backstory necessary to become the hero that defeats you.

So I’m Emma nobody knows my life. When I was 10 I was raped. This is what caused me to become a villain to to hurt others but to protect. So I have everything that could help any one who needs it. I whisper I could tell people that I’m really a hero but the people wouldn’t respect me so I’m the villain with a good heart. So that’s why I’m so closed off so what’s yours?
Gravinia is now one of the world's fastest growing economies. Tourists visit our seaside, Germany buys our TVs. Literacy and education are up, crime and inequality are down, and we're considered the prime example of an up-and-coming, efficient democracy. Towns are erecting statues of me without even being ordered to and I won 90% of votes in the last election without having to bribe or kill anyone. A little bird told me I might even be listed for the Nobel Peace Prize. My family has disowned me, of course. I'm the black sheep, the failure, the turncoat. But really, they've got it all wrong. I'm totally evil. I'm just playing the long game.
Unlike most political leaders. I, an evil overlord have achieved more then most dream. Not world destruction. Not the death of my opposition but a well funded social care system and a great orphanage system. This is somehow given me the opposite of what I crave, what I desire. A hero to defy me. Children are loved and it’s really ticking me off. Is it so much to ask that a child becomes an orphan at my hand, and gains a sense great valour and vengeance against Me? Well apparently so. Anyways I would most likely defeat him instantly anyway. I don’t see many hero’s making the social care system practically flawless. Pity really. Makes me think I’d be a better good guy then a villain but it’s too late to change now. I would be become a politician then.

In a world where mages are at the top, I am the most powerful of them all. They don’t know so, therefore they treat me like a filthy commoner. If only they knew I have the power to end them all at the tip of my finger....
