You know what kind of character I want to write?
I want to write a bad guy. Not just a plot device, I want a main, integral character to be a Bad Guy. No redeeming qualities, no kindness deep in the tortured corner of his soul. He is just cruel and intelligent and calculating and kind of insane, but he's too smart to have tunnel-vision when it comes to his goals.
Like Nolan's Joker, except no facepaint. Someone who will rape, pillage, and plunder because it seemed like the thing to do at the time and he was bored. Pure Chaotic Evil, you guys. I want that. And I want that as a main character, THE main character. His point-of-view.
More Voldemort, less Harry Potter, kids. Evil has to have its day. No, evil needs to have its day.
And all this just before finals, too, go figure.
