Crafting Unforgettable Antagonists
1Utilize Heavy Sibilants & Plosives
Names containing harsh 'k', 'v', 'z', and sibilant 's' sounds evoke instinctual threat and authority.
2Give Them a Revered Epithet
Add a title that reflects their unforgivable deed (e.g. 'the Ash-Bringer', 'the Sovereign of Ruin', 'the Silent').
3Avoid Caricature Overkill
Subtle elegance (e.g. 'Lord Cassian Vane') often sounds far more menacing than exaggerated evil words.
