Who's hotter, your villain or your hero(ine)?

Heroine.

Right now, there don't seem to be a villain as one person, thing. Other sort of conflict.

My 'villains' ended up being more interesting than the 'heroine' that I originally had planned for my novel, so now they're kinda like heroes and heroines in their own right, but I'd definitely say that they're hotter....especially Maru.

My heroine isn't pretty. Some of the other characters think she's hot, though..
I don't even know what my villain looks like yet, thats something to think about.

The female villain is the hottest character by far. The heroine isn't like horribly ugly or anything, but she's nowhere near as beautiful as the evil princess. The hero is an ugly duckling character so at the beginning he's WAY less hot than the villain, but by the end he's considerably more hot. Yes, it's cliche. No, I'm not changing it :P. The male villain is good looking, but quite a bit older, so it's unfair to compare him to the younger characters. When he was younger he was attractive in an understated, sexy-bookworm kind of way.

Looks-wise? My hero this year-- young, gentle, white-blond hair, brown eyes, well dressed. He's too young for me, though-- only fifteen, not counting the years he was dead, and very, very shy.

No one else is really that great-looking... it'll have to be their actions that make them hot. My main villain may fall under that heading. He has a sudden, cruel, clever decisiveness that make other people take a step back. Trickster characters are always hot, somehow. Or maybe I'm just attracted to confident intelligence.

Hero: Plain guy with a badly crooked nose due to a beating while he was a teen.

Villain: Built like a Greek wrestler.

Thing is, one's able to affect the perceptions of other people, allowing him to appear better or worse than he actually is, and the other is the avatar of a super-human being. Can the question really be answered in this case?

Life is like a box of chocolates.

Expensive and devoured by others.

Villain: Depends on if you're looking at his face or the full form. Considering he has a spider body coming from his back. Yes, he's naked, pale, glowing, angelic, sexy, with long flowing blonde hair and a beautiful face aside from the fangs on the upper and lower, but yeah. He'll eat you.

Heroes: They're thirteen, fifteen, a young angel, and eighteen. Really, now? Cradle robbing much? XD Though they are quite cute. Especially Rehael and Mikael. But they're bonded. NOT LIKE THAT. Though Mikael might like that...

My hero is an 11 year old boy, and my villain is an 83 year old woman.

I'M STARTING TO THINK I'M DOING THIS WRONG 8<

Having been called in here very many times over the past few months to answer for this or that misdemeanor, Oliver was well acquainted with the room's nuances and eccentricities – most of them fungal.

Difficult to say since the protagonist in my novel is technically working for the "bad" side, so he could be pegged as the villain. He is very good looking though, a classic sort of adrogynous beauty. However, the other MC who IS the actual driving force behind the "bad' side is literally shown as a freak in a sideshow. He is not so much ugly as he is disfigured, though I do imagine his face to be a bit baby-faced cute. The official "good" guy is good-looking as well-not a drop-dead stunner, but he is handsome in a classic way. Truth be told it is difficult to place anyone (there are quite a number of other characters as well) as either villain or hero, but I do seem to have a fondness for creating at least somewhat attractive characters. I don't have a circus filled with supermodels or anything, more like the average semi-good looking person and really, alot of every day people fall into that category.

Well, between the main hero and the main villain, I'd say the hero. Neither of the two are particularly good looking, but the hero has blue eyes and I'm a sucker for blue eyes.

However, the hottest character in my novel is definitely the villain's son who is also the hero's best friend, and he is really messed up . . . so not only is he the hottest but he is the most interesting. He is averaged sized, he's not super muscular but not wimpy either, he has darkish brown hair and bright green eyes (remember the National Geographic picture of the Afghan girl? He has her eyes, except one shade darker).

*looks around to make sure Dyrk isn't watching* Villain. Humans who have seen him have thought he was a model. He'd be perfect, but his eyes are really creepy. Dead black, without reflection.
But then...I also have a mermaid character. Though she's not really the same kind of pretty.

hero: teenage boy. May grow into hotness. Right now, scrawny kid.

hero's girlfriend? Potential hottie. Maybe when she's older XD

hero's sidekicks: some would say yes, some would say no. Depends on who's asking XD

villain(s): hot, hotter, and OMG WTF IS THAT YUNALESCA'S FINAL FORM OR SOMETHING AIEEEEE!!!!

Er, I don't have any heroes or villains in my NaNo but I do have people who look like they embody physical types.

Hmmm if you like 'em blonde and buxom, Katarina is hottest. And her husband-to-be Lord Draake has "tall, dark and handsome" covered, in the villainous incarnation.

As for protags, I think all three are kinda hot in their own way. Hart's the beautifully androgynous Bishie-boy (snicker-snort), Casca is tall, dark, handsome *and* a good guy and Fletcher is all about geek chic.

Ooo, this is getting fun. And for their love interests, Romilda is smokin' hot and Janey has that sexy-without-knowing-just-how-much vibe.

I like this thread.

Well, my story centers around a five-sided battle. :/
Hottest person is one of the antagonistic sides, though.
Mostly because she's nearly naked half of the time.

"I would my love could kill thee; I am satiated
With seeing the live, and fain would have thee dead.
I would earth had thy body as fruit to eat,
And no mouth but some serpent's found thee sweet."

Haha, this is exactly the type of thread I would come up with.

And yet it's hard for me to answer, since my hero is a villain. I suppose, speaking in-universe, the supervillan is about average, geeky but not unattractive. The superhero is cute in a way that borders on little-kid-cute. The main female can pull off hot and knows it, but most of the time she would rather look like a girl-next-door.

Fun topic.

I have loads of characters. I right now have two villains; the obvious villain is handsome in a tough-guy military man way, while the true power behind the throne is ... rather ugly, perhaps. Meanwhile, the "good guys" run the gamut. FMC #1 is 42 years old, undead, and finding that to many people, undeadness turns her from merely plain to downright scary. Her lover is a magical robot, a golem -- beautiful in her own way, but very not human. FMC #2 is a twenty-two year old courtesan who's pretty and knows how to use it to her advantage -- it's her job to use it to her advantage, after all. Her adoptive younger brother and exiled heir to the throne is a handsome young man of sixteen; a bit gawky still but getting over it. A hit with the ladies and the gentlemen.

And the vampire girl (kinda) is ... freakily beautiful. Long poisoned cutting fangs, not some cute little nubs, and claws. Scary wiry strength. Freaky wide black eyes. Skin that is slowly turning into its own armor.

The Villainess in my story would be considered hotter than my heroine by most people. She was once considered a great beauty and probably still would be...if she ever let anyone see her. She has one insey wensy scar on her face and now she thinks she's butt ugly.

I think my heroine is cute, but I happen to think sheep are cute.

"Chance favors the prepared mind."
-Louis Pasteur

Everyone is pretty sexy in their own way in my novel.

I'm toning down the shmexiness in this novel; my heroine is about 35, and my villainess is, I haven't decided, but around 40-50. The hotness will come between the bounty hunter (Lara Croft meets Starbuck) and the heroine's bodyguard. Rawr.

The heroine is hotter than the female villain, but the male villain is more handsome than the hero.

As things stand right now, the villain is a Nosferatu/'Salem's Lot version of a vampire: beady eyes, big bat ears, pale skin, stick-like crooked fingers...

So pretty much everyone in the story is hotter than him.

Interesting question, because most of the characters in my (non-NaNo) novel are villains in some way or other. I'll just run through the list.

Janique Sanbarro (heroine-sort of)-Often mentioned that she's beautiful (but not hot). Blonde with blue eyes that always sparkle. Wears form-fitting clothes (which would technically be considered hot except that she's so thin it just makes her look sick).
Sarino Sanbarro (heroic villain)-Not beautiful or hot, unless you happen to think resourcefulness and snarkiness is hot.
Zan (reformed villain)-No current description, but he is intended to be sizzling.
Hemlock (almost-princess villain)-Basically what Sarino looks like, but much more feminine. Not particularly hot for readers, but Zan and Lumela have an interest in her.
Lumela (witch villain)-Unusual looking. Most characters don't have wild hair colors/styles even though it is moden times and dye is readily available. Looks fatter than she really is because of the loose clothing she wears.
Lunesta (Princess villain/heroine)-Not particularly hot, although she is similar in appearance to Janique.
Prince Charillo (criminal villain)-Not meant to be hot to readers, but most female characters think he's hot.
Nevara (Neutral helper character)-Too young to be considered hot, although there will be a scene where someone comments that when she grows up, wow! More cute than anything.

Final verdict? Hot is not a term often used, but probably the villains win the title.

I don't have plot bunnies, I have plot demons. They're more demonic than the demons in my novels. Go figure.

Well my villian has five forms. One his a fifty year old scientists he possessed. Another is a robin he possessed, and then a dog. Then a massive monstrous robot, and finally his true form is a gaseous spirit because he has no true body.

So easily the heroine.

Ooh, fun. My villain was a flirtatious charmer, but he was also supposed to be celibate... My villainess is a female rake, my heroine is perfectly pretty but nothing special, and my hero is beautiful, not handsome.

So I think I'd have to say the villainess is the hottest, but the hero is the most attractive in a purely physical sense.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

Ok, I'll answer seriously. My hero is hot, but in a sexy geeky professor kind of way. My villian is an ex-royal guard so he's hot in a buff kind of way, but when it comes to sexy the heroine and villainess win out.

Oh geez, well I guess it depends on exactly which villain we're talking about here.
What with Old Man Bones being eight feet of emaciation, elongated limbs, missing cranium, and a strange tendency to ramble...he's not winning any beauty contests.
Rhoshk's a better looking 'villain' by far, but I wouldn't say he's jaw-dropping. He's about tied with the MC- nothing too stunning. :)

Bless you.

Protagonist and antagonist for my story are both dragons, so I really hadn't thought about attractiveness at all. I guess the villain is hotter since he can breathe fire and the protagonist's fire glands were surgically removed during his incarceration.

I have so many to choose among . . . even in my current work-in-progress.

The good guys -- the best looking is Lon. At least I think so. Tall, dark hair, deep blue eyes . . . Sierra is described as the "prettiest girl in Greenwood," but there's not a lot of competition there.

The baddies -- Lady Diane DiGrant is really hot. Drop dead gorgeous. I'm still debating whether or not to make her an assassin. Other bad guys are vicious cutthroats or middle aged schemers.

Let's see... The hero is a fashion plate with a good figure but really not much in the brawn department and a bit lily-white pale, his sister is a bookish spinster type that has ink stains on her fingers and don't do much with herself since her books are important, my villainess is a chalk pale ninja type with a love for a lot of black, the villain (1) is a military guy age fifty with full muttonchops and a monocle, and villain (2) is a skeleton - more or less. The two secondary characters are a dwarven acrobat and a pirate who needs a bath, so I would say the villainess and the dwarf.
