What i'm trying to say is : for good villain, dosing is the key. Depends on the villain…I mean the only real villain I made so far is Sev…my own assassin character coincidentally.

I guess when you do a villain you should generally aim for them to like what they are doing too much to stop, even of what they are doing is wrong (Sev hunts faunus the same way Hunters hunt Grimm)…you can also make their goal require them to step on the moral ground to achieve it so they can justify themselves.

Basically you don’t need anything BAD to happen to them in order to be villains, you just need to make their goals come in contradiction with the rest of the world or just the main characters.
