My biggest goal with my novel Tales is to have some fun lampshading and straight out breaking tropes. It's the entire idea behind it, actually. One of the ways I want to go about doing this involves the antagonist for the first half. I want to make him follow the tropes typically associated with evil characters. So far, he has an eye patch and clothing consisting of black and dark red. I would love to have more physical traits, as well as parts of his personality, how he speaks and the actions he does throughout the novel.
What traits should a villain have? Or, at the very least, what traits do you think this character in particular should have to successfully trick the reader into believing that he's actually evil?
