Here are some ideas for both teams to get your started!
 

Team Heroes

Heroes are those who save the day, who are willing to sacrifice themselves those who can't protect themselves. But they can also be the neighbor next door who makes sure your cats are always fed when you're not home. Here are some ideas:  
  • Someone's personal hero or role model.
  • A volunteer for a charity.
  • Someone who accidentally did a good deed.
  • A sysadmin keeping the servers up against all odds.
  • A villain who sees themselves as the hero.

Team Villains

Villains want to see the world burn or otherwise oppose the status quo in a villanous way. Some have understandable motivations, while others are just pure evil. And yet others find themselves in the position of a villain without having planned for it. Here are some ideas:  
  • An honorable but evil person. If only they could restore their honor...
  • A hero's nemesis, wanting to destroy a specific character but nothing else.
  • A personification of pure evil in your world.
  • Someone who saw no way to survive other than becoming a villain.
  • A hero that many people consider a villain.
