Characters: The villain

A villain doesn't always have to be a whom, it can be a what. For instance the movie "The Never Ending Story". They aren't facing a person, they're facing an illness and a nothing. If you don't understand this, rent the movie. Today I'm going to talk about a human villain. You have to make some choices as to how sinister your villain is. After that come up with a name according to how sinister, and a wardrobe and a motive. How far is your villain willing to go. What can he or she do? Do they have power? Why don't they like the main character? Does he/she have a side kick? Do they ever change their ways? Do they know what they're doing is wrong?
