As first character I want to make a mage,
as objective I want to get powerful enough to create a magic hideout on a different plane.
If I make it then I'll start kidnapping other player's character to preserve them in airtight bags suspended in a state of magic sleep,
I'll slowly build up a collection by infiltrating different parties as a low-mid level mage or controlling the characters I kidnapped (of course I'll request their character sheets from the player to keep as a trophy).
As a DM would you be down with this?

No.
>>44406804
That's stupid.
You're stupid.

As your first character, hell no. Because you'd actually expect your character to win in the end.
I'd let an experienced player start out as a member of the party that eventually pulls this shit to become the BBEG, but once the reveal happens (if it's even successful. The player still has to PLAY), that mage officially becomes an NPC

Nah of course I'll die a bunch of times trying
>that mage officially becomes an NPC
You wouldn't let the player play as BBEG?
I can see this working during 1 or 2 sessions as a mystery for the rest of the party to solve but then the jig is up and the mage dies.
Of course, when mage enters party and weird stuff starts to happen, the mystery pretty much solves itself.

Where did you get your ideas on RPGs? That Community episode?
Played in a game where someone did this more or less. It wasn't a first character though, and they were kind of the accepted villain of the game. At least at first.

>You wouldn't let the player play as BBEG?
Nope.
Doing that is asking for a bad time.
>>44406804
>Create a magic hideout on a different plane
Sounds great
>Kidnapping other players characters
uh...
>preserve them in bags
haha no
>request their character sheets as trophies
hahahaha no
Also you've lost your mage privileges, you are only allowed to play martials from here on out. At least till I can be sure you aren't going to go full edge lord and ruin the groups fun again
