There's never been a situation where the villain is actually the more prominent character. I don't really think there are any arbitrary rules about who has to get in first, it's just whoever works best for representing the franchise.
I think the OP outlines the reasons Pious would be a better rep pretty well, but you're free to disagree. He's the main monster from a horror franchise, he's the only character featured in every chapter of the game's story, he's a master of magick, and Alexandra is by far the most generic playable character. Until there's a new Eternal Darkness game of some kind, I don't think either has even an inkling of a chance, but I would much prefer Pious because of his badass design and personality. I think seeing a character like him would make people much more curious about Eternal Darkness than Alexandra would.
Your last point hit the nail on the head. Eternal Darkness is a horror game and Pious embodies that far more than Alexandra ever could. If you were new to Eternal Darkness, Pious would make it perfectly clear what to expect.
Alexandra is easily the most vanilla playable character in Eternal Darkness. She's so middle of the road it almost hurts. I still think she'd be the most deserving character after Pious, but only because of her main protagonist status.
The trophies should be:
1 – Pious Augustus (Liche)
2 – Pious Augustus (Centurion/Alt)
3 – (Final Smash)
4 –Alexanda Roivas
5 – Ellia
6 – Anthony
7 – Karim
8 – Dr. Maximillian Roivas
9 – Dr. Edward Lindsey
10 – Paul Luther
11 – Roberto Bianchi
12 – Peter Jacob
13 – Edward Roivas
14 – Michael Edwards
15 – Ulyaoth
16 – Xel'lotath
17 - Chattur'gha
18 - Mantorok
19 - Essences of the Ancients
20 - The Black Guardians
21 - The Tome of Eternal Darkness
The stage should be the Trapper Dimension
The Trapper Dimension exists outside of time and space and is made up of five floating islands. each island has colored portals that change color as time goes on these portals will warp players between the five islands. being in such a place really takes it's toll on someones sanity though don't it? time spent in the trappers dimension drains your sanity- loosing your sanity I wonder what that would be like?
Sanity Effects:
- A Fatal Error Screen appears
- A fly will buzz around the screen
- Many Smash Balls appear all at once!
- players start glitching into objects
- The TV will appear to turn off
- A message appears alerting you that controller 1,2,3 or 4 is not connected
- a Player is healed to 0% DMG
- The audio will mute
- The audio will max out
- it starts raining Bob-ombs
- Stage changes to another stage
- Character's appearance change
- Game appears to freeze
- I wonder what other things your mind will make you think is happening when you loose it?
OF course the Sanity Effects may be too distracting and may affect online play and this is only depending if the DLC comes with the stage, music, trophies etc. or just Pious Augustus. Pious Augustus may come alone for the DLC and might not feature anything else from Eternal Darkness.

Some better ones
-The "GAME" aappear
-It goes to the "No Contest" screen with the characters clapping.
-It returns to the title screen
-The intro scene plays
-Melee's intro scene plays
-Lots of Galaga ships appear. They don't affect the players but still do their capture thing
-You hear footsteps. They will grow louder and louder.
Both of those would be good stage ideas, but I personally always thought Mantorok's chamber would be the best stage. His tentacles could show up and attack you.
Not sure if I made this sufficiently clear previously, but I definitely support this concept.
I have yet to play this game, but I remember it being pretty big when it first came out, and as a fan of everything Lovecraftian, it seems like it'd be right up my street~

You can find it used for like 30 bucks on Amazon. I definitely recommend just buying it. Certain things haven't aged well, particularly the graphics, but it's definitely a one of a kind horror experience.
If we want to try and get Pious in, we need to rally up support for him, since we are small, we will have to entice people to want Pious playable, Here is an example of what we could do for Pious.
Twitter page:Wolf4DLC We are starting a campaign to get Sakurai to make Wolf a DLC character so he can be playable in Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Super Smash Bros for 3DS. Wolf was a Brawl veteran from the Starfox series, he had a unique moveset, and was a well balanced character who had really bad*** taunts. However he did not make the initial cut for Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. However DLC is possible, but to our current knowledge, Sakurai is hesitant to do more DLC. You don't hesitate, just act. We are here to act, and to get our veteran playable again.
^In Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS, Wolf has been reduced to a trophy of himself from Starfox Assault, has three renditions of his theme in the game, Fox has a custom move blatantly named Wolf Flash, Wolf's side special, but perhaps the worst of all is appearing in the Lylat Cruise codecs, He appeared in them back in brawl, and in one of them was hinted at being playable. "Boy those two are always itching to fight huh.",Slippy referencing that Wolf and Falco are unlockable characters. However in this game that same codec is still there, yet Wolf is not playable in the game,but Falco is, and still an unlockable character, to make matters worse, Wolf has been stripped of his highly detailed brawl model, and replaced with a much less detailed model, which to some looks hideous. In a way its like he's being mocked for not being playable. Wolf does not deserve this, he is a villain/antihero and a very iconic Nintendo character, best know for his bad*** one liners like "Can't Let you do that Starfox" Wolf is also reported to appear in the new Starfox game for Wii U, making him a relevant character. Smash games usually span 6 years before a new entry is released. Wolf should not have to be stuck like this for 6 years or more, when he can be added to Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Super Smash Bros for 3DS as DLC. Paying to have Wolf playable, is better than having no Wolf playable.
^This is what Wolf looked like back in Brawl, you can see how much more detailed he is than the Wolf currently in Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. We must restore him to his former glory, DLC can do that, but we must convince Sakurai to commit to Wolf DLC, if he secretly isn't doing it already. We only require your support, simply tell us you support our cause, and your name will be added to the supporters list. Also convince others to request Wolf for DLC. There is strength in numbers.Any additional support, ranging from making videos, pictures, and other forms of entertainment that are geared towards achieving more support to have Wolf be playable in Super Smash Bros Wii U and Super Smash Bros for 3DS as DLC is greatly appreciated. We must start this campaign now, its purpose, To persuade Sakurai to make Wolf DLC, or if Sakurai already is making Wolf DLC, this is to show our support and appreciation for doing so.
Now a campaign like this would be harder for Pious, since he's a more obscure character,but if you entice people with him, dig through youtube comments sections looking for supporters, start a Twitter/Facebook page for Pious, and make cool fanart, You can gain supporters. I'd love to play a bigger part in this,but as you can see in the spoilers I'm pretty busy. Regardless, whoever is in charge of this thread should get a supporter list up. @BlueSorrow
@BlueSorrow
The first page looks great,but that supporter list can really show how wanted the character is, when emailing Sakurai, and a Twitter/Facebook page can really help too. I'll try and find a few Pious supporters, if I have some spare time.
I think the city of Ehn'gha should be his home stage,
http://eternaldarkness.wikia.com/wiki/Ehn'gha
The stage would take place in the forgotten city of Ehn'gha, like Skyloft, it would travel around the city, however it would only got to three different parts of the city, for longer periods of time, in one of the parts, there's a boss fight with a lesser guardian. Destroying him causes an explosion.
The trophies should be:
1 – Pious Augustus (Liche)
2 – Pious Augustus (Centurion/Alt)
3 – (Final Smash)
4 –Alexanda Roivas
5 – Ellia
6 – Anthony
7 – Karim
8 – Dr. Maximillian Roivas
9 – Dr. Edward Lindsey
10 – Paul Luther
11 – Roberto Bianchi
12 – Peter Jacob
13 – Edward Roivas
14 – Michael Edwards
15 – Ulyaoth
16 – Xel'lotath
17 - Chattur'gha
18 - Mantorok
19 - Essences of the Ancients
20 - The Black Guardians
21 - The Tome of Eternal Darkness The stage should be the Trapper Dimension

What Pious Augustus's Final Smash should be? Maybe it should be sending the fighters to another dimension where they get attacked by The Ancients. Ulyaoth can be involved in his Final Smash and be an Assist Trophy like Riki.

That's exactly what I thought his final smash could be too! They go to a dimension where all three ancients attack the fighter, before Pious lands the final blow.
