Villains
CharacterVillains and criminals are the lawbreakers, most of them human, who disrupt society and stand opposed to its heroes. Like the heroes who chase them, they are sorted into ranked classes and carry bounties that swell with the danger they represent.
Appearance
A villain is broadly any individual, typically human, who upsets the ordinary workings of society by committing crimes and pits themselves against the ranks of heroes.
Personality
Rewards are posted for their capture, and the sums climb in step with the threat each one poses. The Hero Association mirrors its own hierarchy onto them, grading villains into classes from the top-tier S down through A, B, and C, so that a C-Class criminal matches a C-Class hero in capability, a B-Class matches a B-Class, and so on up the ladder. The roster of known offenders runs from S-Class names such as Speed-o'-Sound Sonic and Hellfire Flame down through figures like Hammerhead, Dr. Genus, Garou, and Empty Void.
History
Sitch of the Hero Association once gathered the underworld's worst at headquarters, floating the idea that villains and heroes might join forces to keep Shibabawa's prophecy from coming true. The assembled criminals showed little appetite for cooperation, and when the meeting tipped into violence, every hero and villain in the room was flattened by the self-styled monster Garou.
