User blog comment:Orange Diamond/How to be Evil in a Roleplay/@comment-26415383-20160308231912

I like role playing as a villain who is weak themselves, it may be less successful motive wise but it gives the character depth which is the most important, having someone over powered who will always win is boring and predictable. When developing a good villain, weaknesses are strengths. Make them believable and convincing.

I'm not a huge roleplayer, more just a writer. But that's what I usually go by.
