I admit, I went way over the top with the badas* thing, and in retrospect I should have thought out posting the CC. The whole warrior thing and over the topness mostly comes from Senator Armstrong (a VERY over the top final boss that i found absolutely awesome) who was a ex football player and navy soldier. Though I should have put two and two together and realized "Hey! This isn't a democracy! Warriors don't make emperor!" Im glad you called me on that one, I really got carried away with trying to make him formidable... but I have a backup plan for that, so he can just be a magic master after coming back from the absence. As for the obviously evil thing, I just felt it was necessary that the LPers knew this guy was BAD NEWS before establishing his motives and everything. I was afraid of being too vague with him, and jumped the gun, but that is still rectifiable with our IC. Our characters don't have to know he is an evil evil mastermind, i envisioned most of us having more personal motives (though I definitely should have made that more clear, and I do remember mentioning it a few times), before we get embroiled in the "Evil, Evil" plot.
