Honestly in my opinion the perfect antagonist, would probably be unachieveable. Here are some of the traits I think he would have.

He'd have a goal. Whatever it is, he wants it, and he wants it bad.

He'd be cold. Immune to feelings of regret or sorrow, simply remove what ever comes in his way.

He'd be calculating. He'd think out situations intenesely, making sure of all the variables which could go wrong, and even thinking of ahead. I wouldn't play chess with this guy.

He'd be cruel. He'd make an example of those who get in his way. Not always resorting to killing, he'd perhaps torture, or even permenantly maim someone just to prove a point.

He'd be unforgiving. He'd simply weight out, the chance of having a revenge. If its not the most intelligent desiscion to do so immediatly, he'd wait for it.

This also conflicts with peoples ideas of rp.

If he is cold, and keeps his emotions under control, simply removing what ever comes in his way. People would complain about, "why you kill my char!"

If he'd be calculating to the perfect extent, the roleplayer would end up being blamed of metagame.

If he would be cruel, again, people would oocily complain.

And unforgiving goes for the same way.

Basically the perfect villain would just not be appreiceated by most of the people. They'd complain about how their characters were killed and the like. It would be intensly irritating too, everytime your character did a really powerful statement, with a murder, or something like that, and the person would simply void it because they don't like it.

Complaints are why we cannot have nice things. Sure complaints help alot, but sometimes people complain just to complain. I myself like to complain just to complain, because I find it humerous to listen to myself ranting about something making no sense.

Honestly though, it would be interesting, to have a really good antagonist. But people who rp antagonists usually end up doing something insanely stupid, or are simply to nice, so they won't be complained about.

I think I more or less didn't sound like gibberish.
