Been trying to get into my Bad Guy's head and I decided to pretend like I was setting up his journal for RP purposes. This means finding him a PB

Norman is one really creepy looking dude.

[age]

But he's damned sexxeh in Boondock Saints *sage nod*

[kaladhwen]

Lol.

Besides being the creepiest one looking out of the bunch, I've seen everyone use the other two for a bunch of villains time and again, and change is refreshing. ;)

Based on that, I'd go with Norman on sheer principle, just to be different :)

I want to say Norman Reedus just so I can tell him about this at Dragon*Con.

Are we just going for nasty looking or a particular kind of nasty? (Lecherous, manipulative-charming, manipulative bastard...)

[age]

He's manipulative-charming-bastard? He's....um.

He's one of those ones who starts off okay, possibly on the fringe of his peers, but not a loner, that ends up finding a book that not only helps him to learn how to use magic to do things, but will ultimately contact and summon the Ultimate Big Bad (who, for lack of a better description, is my world's devil/Satan).

He starts out as a scribe in the Royal Cathedral's Library, then ends up using his magic and cunning to elevate him to Royal Advisor. He's basically being used by "Satan," who's been enprisoned and seriously wants out.

So really, my Saruman/Sauron analogy isn't really too far off the mark.

[kittydesade]

Hm. None of those, all too overt. Maybe Norman Reedus, but.

Michael Fassbender. Michael Massee? James... wossname. Um. Callis. Scott Glenn maybe, if he's not too old.

[viridian]

FASSBENDER YES THIS.

But only if your bad guy is supposed to be unreasonably attractive.

I had to Google Norman Reedus because I couldn't remember who he was, and I think I like him best of your original choices.

(hi, Ana here, too lazy to switch ljs)

I voted for Rhys-Meyers, mostly because of his character in Gormenghast.

Reading more...I'd have to vote for Fassbender too. But I may be biased. ;) (have you seen trickster_loki lately? :D

[age]

Ana!!!!! *TACKLEHUGS*

Hahaha, for some reason when I was looking at RHys-Meyers, I was thinking of you. I have no idea why :)

(And no, I haven't! Is he misbehaving like a good little trickster?)

[acethatmatters]

:D!

I used his face for a character once? Otherwise, I've got nothin'.

(Go look at his icons. :) )
