It occurred to me earlier today that there really seems like there is a lack of true antagonists on the RWBY fanon. Yes, I am aware of the Grimm and their subspecies, but there hasn't really been villainous OCs that actively take roles in RPs. I'm not sure if this is just an administrative decision, or something of the sort, but I really would like to see more people looking towards the dark side, who all have their own devious plot to blow up Vale's infrastructure or hold the king/president/ruler hostage.

Of course, events like that would only be few and far between, likely taking place in RP events similar to the idea that Pwn presented everyone. The idea of villains in these RPs should be more of a "Uh oh, there's a real sense of urgency here", and overall turn out fun for everyone involved, be it the person playing the villain or the readers who don't take part in it.

Just look at people like Roman and Cinder, who evidently have set themselves up as the primary antagonists of the RWBY plot. Why shouldn't the fanon have their own Roman or Cinder, with their own devious plot? Hell, why isn't there like, some terrorist organization like the White Fang, who seek to eliminate all non-faunus lifeforms from Vytal? Call 'em like, the Faunus Revolutionary Armed Forces or something, I don't know.

The point here is, (admins permitting) there really should be someone, something, or a group that these OCs occasionally need to step in and stop. Sure, fighting Grimm is cool, but where's the sense of danger and challenge that come from these plastic, redshirt, disposable NPCs that fail to harm our godly heroes and heroines? There should be a few, and I'm not saying that 50% of the entire wiki needs to be evil, but at the very least a few of these people to liven up our RPs from the typical "kill NPCs" or "dialogue" RPs, and start doing what RWBY as a show is renowned for: fighting. (Of course, if you enjoy killing NPCs or RPing peacefully, by all means continue with what you're doing.)

tl;dr We need more OC villains.
