Hey man, not to rag on you- but Larua is actually a guy, it seems you sort of autoed him, and it's confusing what you meant by "using telekinesis to help", since you didn't actually elaborate on what he did. I don't really have any authority here since it is both not my character you autoed and not my RP, but you might want to edit that a bit.

And hey, it's Shen! How's it goin'?

Villain time. Real proud of this one.

Real Name: Percival Sway
Alias: No one has found him out yet, but the similar crimes that are committed, typically a hero's unconscious body nearby a crime "they" commited, are said to be done by the "Slave maker"
Age/Gender: 25/ Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Personality: The nonexistent people that met him would compare him to a vampire. Charismatic, intelligent, yet cold. Percival loves playing with his opponents, using any knowledge he has against them for maximum effect with his powers. His lilting voice, laced with venom, and fake "I just want to help you" demeanor always gives a feeling that he's right. Few things can ruffle him, but even enraged he remains cold, instead just becoming more ruthless, dropping the playing and going straight for the kill.

Powers: Percival's body naturally generates an aura that amplifies emotions such as fear, guilt, and helplessness. Naturally, it's about five feet around and above, but it can be spread further without much effort. The further it spreads, however, the weaker it'll be, which also means it's at its strongest in the natural position, capable of making a litterbug to curl into the fetal position and consider killing themselves in a couple seconds.
While it works as a useful hinderance, his power can do so much more. Should someone be overwhelmed with these emotions, they'll black out, and their emotions will exit their bodies be formed into an almost perfect clone of them, which behave as slaves for Percival, obeying his commands to the best of their ability, even using skills unknown to their copy. Best of all, Percival can absorb them to gain their powers, although this is always temporary.

Once someone has been taken out by his powers, it's significantly easier to do it again for as long as they live. Or at least, fear him/regret something.

Flaws: The clones are almost perfect, and while they ignore their power flaws, it still means that their strength, durability, and even mentality (unless they go against Percival's orders) are the same as the original. Whatever beats the OGs, also beats the clones. While Percival doesn't change should he absorb a power, any of the power's drawbacks are still in effect for him.
Percival's aura could have no effect to people who
1) Are incapable of feeling emotion
2) Regret absolutely nothing
3) Sadists/Masochists
Backstory: Percival was born into a rich family, rumored to be vampires. This was false, but their appearance and powers made it appear that way. Not that they minded. Percival's father was as strong man that owned a powerful company, while his mother was the glamourous sort, and as such also ran a profitable fashion company. So when they had a set of twins, they expected nothing but the best. Percival's brother inherited both of his parent's powers, hypnotizing eyes and his mother's magic voice able to manipulate almost anyone. Percival, however, didn't seem to possess any power at all. He came to be the odd one out, his brother getting more of what his parents could pass off as "affection" while he was simply sorta there. Even worse, when they were around him, his parents always looked horrible, as if remembering a past mistake.
Turns out that their money didn't only come from their companies, a fair portion coming from illegal trades done underground. With the sudden guilt, they became sloppy, and were promptly found out by the Paragons, and ended up being arrested. Infuriated, they planned on writing off Percival from his inheritance and disowning him a day after bailing.
Percival wouldn't let them. Having no emotional connection to his family, he found it easy to poison their drinks and laugh as he saw them slowly die.

Now with his father's company, both illegal and legal, and money, he let his mother's go bankrupt to save money. Percival now lives a comfortable life in his late parents mansion, only occasionally going out for business meetings, legal or otherwise, and his main goal:
Ruining the Paragons.

Real Name: Unknown
Alias: N/A
Age/Gender: Unknown. Appears to be late teens to early twenties. Female.
Race: Appears human. European, auburn hair and heavy freckles. Blue eyes.
Alignment: She doesn't classify yet.
Personality: She hasn't developed one yet.
Flaws: She hasn't developed any yet.
Powers: Her powers have yet to show.
Backstory: Hazy images. Blurry context. Flashes of light, whispering shadows, and overwhelming darkness enclosing her from all sides. This is all she can remember if she tries to look back on her life. She woke up on the deck of a fishing ship, three old sailors staring down at her. They'd pulled her from the ocean, where she'd been unconscious. Two of them believed she was a lost mermaid, and the third thought she was a siren. They were kind enough to lend her a coat when they docked at NYC, and she wandered off into the city. All she's wearing are old linen wraps around her body, covered in tattered hospital clothing, and above it all a coat much too large for her. She also has the number '1' burned into her skin on her stomach. For five days, she's been wandering New York, barefoot, freezing, starving, and slowly trying to learn how to live. How to speak. How to interact. She's really rather intelligent, but her body doesn't act the way she intends. She knows things she doesn't understand how she knows. Her true memories are locked behind barriers she doesn't know how to break, leaving her as a husk of a person, simply trying to survive in the harsh society of New York. She does, however, recognize one person.
Patriot. His face haunts her from television screens, signs, posters... She doesn't know why, but she hates him. This hatred is enough to drive her to keep on moving, despite her lack of food and comfort.

A few things to clarify-

Necrodytis only works at night, so she probably won't be showing up for a hot minute or two. And by that I mean post.

Who Celice bumped into is up to whoever wants to interact with her. It could be Yen Li, Destiny, Percival, this new girl...There won't be much of a fight or anything, just an interaction.

And Ansel will likely show up at the tail end of this fight, so as to not curbstomp Larua in a 3v1.

Let’s see if I’m doing this correctly.

Real Name: Percy
Alias: Prince Percy. Trash King
Age/Gender: 13 M
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Personality: Childish and bossy, this kid plays for keeps. Making friends with his trash golems and those that dare stand the smell of his ‘lair’ he puts himself on a pedestal. He however is very curious and sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong.
Flaws: Closed minded, too overly curious, as well as extremely greedy. He always wants things and expects to get them.
Powers: Trash Manipulation, Waste Manipulation

Yes, you read correctly. Trash.

He has the ability to manipulate waste products, weather it be cardboard boxes, banana peels, or raw sewage. He can manipulate it freely with his hands but prefers to use his staff he carries at all times to help focus his power.

If he touches trash, he can see a glimpse of what it’s story was before it officially was deemed trash. This helps with intel gathering, especially where to thieve good food from.

Backstory:

It is unknown so where Percy originally came from. Suddenly one day the kid showed up in the sewer systems of the city, riding atop a throne of glass bottles. He set up shop quickly, leeching off of the roots of the city whilst remaining out of sight.

He became a beacon to those that had no where to go and were desperate enough to swear fealty to his powers. Usually the homeless and the repressed. In return, he feeds them elaborate dishes from buffets he stole mountains of scraps from. That as well as a place to sleep. His trash golems seem to carry out his well, alongside his mountains of trash. This organization is known as the ‘Trash Kingdom’ and acts like it’s own sovereign nation.
