Dares.

So I finally found the Fantasy thread's Dare thread. I loved this last year, it gave me some cool inspiration to work from. So this year I'm gonna take all the one's that I like and dump them in here.

Your villain's entire motivation is to win a bet.
BP If the bet was for something like five dollars.
TBP If the hero's primary motivation is to keep the villain from winning the bet.
QBP If the person the villain made the bet with is the hero.

Have a half-crazed seer walk up to your MC and declare, "You are the chosen one." Then add some half-baked prophecy, perhaps: "You must pass through fire and water and battle the stone to find the golden reward." The MC sets off on a quest.
Bonus points if the half-crazed seer is later seen declaring that a goat, chicken, half a brick, or a fence post is the Chosen One.
Double bonus points if the MC doesn't find out about this until after attempting to fulfill the prophecy.
Triple bonus points if the seer approaches everyone with that line, and the MC was the only one who went along with it.
Quadruple bonus points if the MC fulfills the prophecy anyway.

Have an extremely flamboyant character as the main villain.
+ Said villain treats the hero like they're his/hers BFF and always has to share gossip with them.
++ After gossiping, the villain then hits on the hero and offers them fashion advice.
+++ The villain loves the shade pink and even has dyed their armor/robes and weapons that color.
++++ It is a bright NEON pink that glows in the dark.
+++++ The villain is feared by even gods despite all the amusing gossip s/he has given them over the years.
Cookies - the villain greats everyone with a 'Hello, darlings~! My, how ravishing you look today!'
