Concerning the limitation. If I made a game involving, "heroes" and "villains" in the sense that they are just 'names' used to represent a group of people, would that still be breaking the limitation? Since the limitation specifically states heroes in the context of 'good' or 'helpful' people. With my idea the 'heroes' basically have the same role the 'villains' (which does not involve them being 'good' or 'helpful').

Your concept sounds very interesting. If you ask the question "Does this game have a hero?" and if the answer is "Yes" in any moment of the game, then most likely the limitation is being broken. So my recommendation is just to call your characters villains, just has different types of villains or agendas.
