OK, I have a problem with one of my villains. He's my favorite, which might have contributed to his predicament.
That and the Character Intros/Role-playing area.My villain is supposed to be an assassin. So far he hasn't really assassinated anyone in written stories, but he's just been a villain. But now, he's becoming more un-villainous, which is a problem, yet not....
See, in a story I'm writing, he is a villain, but offers his services to the main character, but only because his home is being threatened (or, perhaps his freedom) just as much as hers. But the problem is, I'm afraid he'll become more of a good guy than a bad one. I don't really want that, but I want him to be good, too, for the story (because he would be so awesome ^^). And at the same time I'd like him to remain a villain, mainly because that's how I had created him, so the itle's grown with him.
Any ideas?
that is quite the predicament..... I'm not sure I have any ideas, I just feel for the struggle you are having. 
That is, you could have him technically as a good guy, only not good. *wonders if she's making any sense* And then you could create another villain and have him assassin the good-bad-guy because in his Questionable Past he did something villainous. Which would be sad if the mc had begun to like him despite not-liking him. 
) to assassinate someone for a good reason sounds much simpler. Of course, though, there's always the option to have multiple villains anyway....
