Once you were a great master of evil. A commander of vast armies and dark magics that terrified the realms of mortal men. Then the Overlord came. They destroyed your armies and cast you down, binding you to their service and making you one of their commanders. Now, in service to your new master, you most help bring about the destruction of the forces of light. In this conquest there is opportunity to grow your own powerbase and influence, but only at the expense of the Overlord's other...
So, "Good" rules the land. People have become fat and secure in their lives. Time to give the world a bit of perspective. Because Evil always finds a way.
Obviously inspired by the Overlord video game series, you take control of the very first Overlord, guiding him to ascendancy, and charting the path that Evil will take in your wake.
Humanity has fallen. As the next generation enter maturity, the boot is firmly planted. You are nobody of importance and you have no ability to change the state of things.
Be better.

I'm not the first or last person to think this, of course, but this is my quest and I can...

With the help of his son, Vader has performed coup d'etat and is attempting to asset control and dominion over Galactic Empire. Emperor Palpatine however didn't build his kingdom...
Maleficent, Mistress of All Evil? Maleficent, the Misunderstood? Maleficent the tragic? Follow the schemes, adventures of misadventures of Maleficent in whatever medium of DC that players decide she lives in.
You were one of the twelve Dark Lords of the empire, personally selected by the Dark King Magnos himself. But you were never the most favoured, being a man of government and coin instead of war and sorcery. Eventually you failed in a scheme to build your own power, and Magnos banished you and those most loyal to you for it. Left to rot until Magnos could find someone worthy of taking your title.
The Dark King Magnos is dead. His advisers are dead. A knight of pure sunlight and his rag tag...
