DISCLAIMER: Nothing here is beta'd, not all of the chapters are even spell checked.
Some idea's here are developed, others are simply just random and unfinished.
I haven't read over all of them yet, but I am working on it. If you see duplicates, let me know.
I'm not opposed to the idea of others using my ideas, but please don't copy and paste my stuff.

Dr. Byron Orpheus:
The Guild of Calamitous Intent regrets to inform you that your nemesis, Torrid, has requested reassignment for a protagonist that better matches his theme. Furthermore, The Guild has a dearth of members with experience in the realm of magic that do not already have an archenemy.
Given your enthusiastic pursuit of an arch-rival, The Guild has two options available for your future arching needs:
Given your proximity and involvement with the current incarnation of Team Venture, The Order of the Triad can be absorbed into Team Venture and be arched by Baron Werner Ünderbheit, The Monarch, Sergeant Hatred and the multitude of other minor villains with whom the Ventures interact.
One of our highest level magical villains has recently engaged in unauthorized arching of a minor. In order to legitimize the minors ability to participate in Guild approved protagonist/antagonist relations, the minor needs to have a Guild approved mentor. Unfortunately, the minors current mentor is not a good fit, and is being considered for recruitment under the embittered forgotten hero clause of the International Villainous Conduct Accord of 1968.
Should you choose to act as mentor for the minor Protagonist, you would accept that it is primarily his archenemy you would combat. This is not to say, however, that there will not be opportunities to engage in magical combat or to develop your own arch from among the minors arch's minions. There are several very promising candidates that could easily strike out on their own and be very successful villains should they so choose.
Please give these offers some thought. When you come to a decision, simply speak it aloud and we will be in further contact to finalize the details.
Sincerely,
Watch and Ward
Arching Coordinators
Guild of Calamitous Intent
Byron Orpheus, Master Necromancer and leader of the Order of the Triad set the letter down before collapsing into a chair with an explosive sigh. Since moving into the Venture compound it had been his dream to have a costumed nemesis and for the brief time he had, he had felt a sense of fulfillment. Now, with Torrid abandoning him, he felt lost and betrayed. Still, the Guild of Calamitous intent had offered him options; a rather honorable gesture from the admittedly evil organization.
"I have need of guidance," the Doctor declared springing to his feet. He rushed to his daughters' bedroom and threw open her closet door; the gateway to the Necropolis. He soon found himself wandering through the burning wastelands in search of his old master.
"Orpheus," the familiar, somewhat taunting voice called out to him.
"Master, I have need of your guidance. I have lost my archenemy and am at loose ends as to what to do," Orpheus lamented looking around for what animal avatar his master would take.
