 Message  As my 1st writing post, I’de like to say I want a career in writing, now in my stories I plan to use only 3-4 recurring villains in my stories, 1 was supposed to be a nazi, but I thought since some of my works are aimed at younger audiences, I thought about making my Fascist Villain, the big Q is what could be his ideology and nationality.

 Message  Nazi’s or fascists in general make good villains. I think every young adult is very much intrigued on how such a horrible thing could happen (I sure was!) and how no one could stand up against them. They make great villains, and they even are villains that win sometimes (if you’re into dark plots).

As for his ideology, I think it’s pretty straight forward: blame all bad things on the Jews, the homosexuals, the gypsies (Sinti and Roma is the PC term nowadays), the blacks... the list goes on. Basically anyone who isn’t of Nordic descent. As for nationality, I think you’d probably be leaning towards someone of Nordic descent. Or, if you really want to be creative, make the person of Jewish descent (it has been argued that Hitler had part Jewish in him...or the movie Europa! Europa! where a Jewish boy is raised by Nazis unknowingly).... or hides a deep dark secret that he is actually gay. Great internal conflict there!

:-) Good luck!

 Message  If your aiming at younger audiences you can still use one of your villians as a Nazi. For is a Nazi not evil and bad? It would also be a great culture lesson for younger adults. But, as for your villian, perhaps you shouldn’t just go after one nationality because let’s say you choose an Arab. That could cause that youhg adult to feel hatred for that race. You could try to simply use an American. Or not even define his/her nationality. It could simply be a person that is evil. Or if your into the superheroes thing, I guess, you could go with that.
