I need some advice to run a antagonist thats sexy without going

>>54402292
Beats me. I think getting a character across as beautiful without coming off as forced and or weird is kind of a huge hurdle in terms of non-visual mediums

I would play them as provocative, flirty, all that jazz without forgetting to make them appear antagonistic. Why are they provocative, are they manipulative, what are they trying to get out of showing off? Play antagonists as antagonists, the rest is just characterization. Don't make their sexiness a positive point and the magical realm won't be an issue.

I think.

>>54402292

Make them physically attractive, but give them an extremely off putting kink. Like they are a hard core sadist, who is actively getting off to kicking the party's shit in.

Or you know, just describe their normal debauchery as vaugly as you can and let the players fill in the blanks

>>54402292
They're confident, attractive, and even somewhat charming.

They tell witty jokes and tease the party while their henchmen throw them into a death trap.

Just don't breathlessly described their supple toned thighs, and don't try to push it too hard. Maybe give them a lover, or an ex-lover. This lets players know that they're sexually desireable without explicitly spelling it out.

Seriously though just being capable and confident is 75% of being sexy. Even the plainest janest ugliest fugliest can at least seem cute if they're confident and capable.

>>54402292
Go full magical realm and past it. You'll loop around to normal.

Make them act like they know they've "got it". Sexy people who know they are sexy, especially wicked people, are overconfident, assertive to the point of being egotistical, narcissistic, and self-centered. They know they are better, because not only do they look it, but they are in a position of power. How can anyone compete? They don't necessarily have to be stupid or so overconfident than they are wearing blinders, but they are unshakeable and acerbic, and it shows with how they interact with the PCs. Have them violate dress taboos in some small, provocative way. Smile all the time. Make up pet names for people to piss them off. Feign empathy in a sarcastic manner. All those wonderful tropes. Don't describe their allure in detail unless it's relevant; that is, unless the players ask for more detail, or it's pertinent to the scene. Perhaps she's trying to mess with the group's Paladin, and she's sending some strong physical signals without saying anything along those lines during a meeting or parley. One too many light touches of the shoulder and back, that kind of thing. But words? All business. And make her actually dangerous. Or him, I guess. Gender doesn't really matter, honestly. Beautiful villains all act the same, or have the propensity for such.

Just don't cross the line past "tease". That's where the magical realm lies. And as long as you're crystal clear this person is bad news, it is going to be more uncomfortable and unsettling than it is magical realm, unless that's your magical realm. In which case, no, you can't do it, but then again everything is somebody's fetish and dodging them all is like trying to dodge a hail of full auto gunfire. Good luck.

For appearance, describe her as "very sexy" and leave it to your players' imaginations to fill in the details.

Also have her talk like Lust:

it's been a few years since I've read the manga, but that scene felt like a really good adaptation. Powerful, where so many anime fall short. I need to watch Brotherhood.

>>54402486
Brotherhood is really, really good.

More or less this. Nothing allows a character to ooze power, grace and ambition quite like confidence and comfort in their own sexuality. She is a sexy fucking bitch, she knows it, and she LOVES it.

Pic related.

without looking it up, is that Laura Bailey?

One secret to them being an antagonist is to make them selfish about it. There is no one in this world they love more than themselves. No matter how she acts or who she charms, everything is for her and her alone.

Don't describe tits, ass or other sexual parts.

Describe their confidence, wit, sultry/baritone voice, good humor, stylish attire, luxuriously-coiffed hair, swaying/striding walk, the cut of a dress, elegant accessories and other highlights. These are all things that people find sexy without being sex organs.

>>54404116
Yup.
I find it hilarious and also arousing tht her Chad husband is Mustang

>>54402292
Sexy is about the sizzle. It's when you get to the sausage that it goes magical realm.

>>54404219
This is accurate and correct.

Also a great picture.

The overall summary, then, is "make sure she comes across as a sexy bitch who feels like a sexy bitch, but don't be blunt or low-brow about it."

>>54402368
>Make them physically attractive, but give them an extremely off putting kink.

This sounds like an excellent way to find out that your players are into weirder shit than you are and have some fraction of the party completely miss the point altogether.

>>54402436
I find that voice more irritating than lustful.

>>54404631
It's trying to pull off the sensual low drawl, but it just comes across as a breathy deep voice.

>>54402292
Sauce? It's driving me crazy, it looks like Butcha-U, but I get nothing

Did you try using google image search, or simply googling the filename?

>>54404649
this is a decent example of that kind of voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmTQ9V9AVao

Why do they have to be sexy?

>>54405104
I think you know why.

Because "sexy femme fatale" and "(beautiful) evil empress/queen" are relatively common female villain tropes. The alternative is the "old crone."

>>54402292
Make her a LOAN SHARK with her own CASINOS and HOTELS.

If you miss the payments you will send to work in a MINE.

I think Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid is a pretty good example of a sexy villainess done in a pretty tasteful way.
>Physically attractive
>Flirtatious, but in a kinda creepy way
>Is good at something besides being sexy
>Outfit's a bit revealing, but practical. (She wears a parka when she's actually fighting outside in the snow.)
>Has a pretty well developed backstory and relationships and motives beyond "lol sexy"

Basically, go femme fatale, and give her a means of harming the pcs besides flirtation/manipulation, and remember that she's a full person rather than an antagonistic sex bot. Even if she *is* a rogue sex bot.
>>54405104
Valid question. I hate to admit it, but unless a female character is hideous, she's probably going to come off as at least somewhat attractive if she's confident, competent and dangerous. It's just how cultural perception goes, I guess.

>>54402292
>>54402322
"Before you stands a classically beautiful woman in expensive; if revealing, garments."

Literally nothing more need be said, one sentence and the effect is created and will be remembered.

>>54407156
As a follow-up to this, consider: she won't be alive long enough to describe much more anyway.

Looks nothing like butcha-u the face isn't anime. Same guy who did that female orc getting taunted by male elf rapists and slutty female eldar trying to sell her body to an ork who only wanted guns.

alliteration is key

Make her an enchantress. She appears sexy and beguiling to every player, but each player sees her differently. None of them is sure what she really looks like.

>>54408139
>"Would you like FANG Fries or a Shadaloo Shake with your order?"

Man I just realized all real life fast food chains don't even have cool names, they're just people like Wendy's or Arby's or McDonald's.

>>54408410
Burger Barn is, I think, a real place
maybe

my favorite sexy villianess is a black guard with her full plate glamoured to be an evening dress.

strong confident and sure that her side is the right one. filled with charisma and likes toying with people who underestimate her.

>>54402292
If your players are horny bastards like all of mine are, merely mentioning that they're female should do the job.
Otherwise, if you're creating a worthwhile antagonist, it's up to you to create a character that isn't just a walking vagina

I describe them as being sexy and proud as fuck, but also in a way that makes the party annoyed with her. So they hate her too much to go magical realm, but everyone else in the setting acknowledges what she's like.

>>54402292
Honestly, sexy is pretty subjective. Especially to players, if you know what kind of ideal body the players all can generally agree they like. Then it's easy to make them *physically* attractive, but the attitude and goals of most BBEG would probably turn off a majority of PCs, not to mention from the meta standpoint of them being the badguy.

>>54402292
speaking of this, do you as a player try to reason with attractive villains more than unattractive ones?

like, "Hey s/he is pretty cute, maybe we don't have to fight them"

I find myself doing it for most antagonist NPCs cute or not

>>54416323
Maybe it's personal, but I instantly don't trust attractive people in general.

>>54402292
Can't be done. Autists and virgins reee at the slightest hint of sex appeal.

>>54417578
That sounds extremely personal

Make her like any other villain, but you add attractive to the end of her bio and let the players figure out the rest

Also can we get more sexy villains in here?
