Quote:Complication is always good. =D
Rule one of good stories -- the villain always thinks he's the good guy, and that he's got a good justification for what he does. Makes things more interestingly complicated that way.
If we fill in more details about the power that's backing the girls, we can figure out...exactly who their rivals are, and what's going on with this whole mess. But I really like the idea of making the villain bishounen boys...volunteers. Forging alliances, preparing the ground, gathering information - willingly. Some, I'm sure, would just be in it for the power. Others might actually sympathise with their employers' philosophy...
We want to make these guys complex and interesting in their own right, not just an enemy group for the sake of it.
