Who am I?
Outcast, always alone at the end of the games we play
Beauty, defies me and leads to my demise
Jagged, the structure in which I stay
Fire, surrounds me its warmth I use as a disguise
Restless, even in death I return
Expendable, are the pawns I send forward to stop you
Hints will follow if you can't already guess who I am...
How about:
Bowser, of Super Mario Brothers fame
Outcast, always alone at the end of the games we play
At the end of the game, Mario has to defeat Bowser
Beauty, defies me and leads to my demise
Bowser steals the princess, and Mario wants to get her back, which is what brings around Bowser's demise
Jagged, the structure in which I stay
He stays in a castle
Fire, surrounds me its warmth I use as a disguise
There is fire on some levels
Restless, even in death I return
After you beat Bowser, he comes back again in the next game
Expendable, are the pawns I send forward to stop you
You know, the little guys you have to jump on, or POW off of a brick ledge? Those guys.
How did I guess this?
The rot13 of the acrostic of course.
Are you a
King in Chess?

A beautifully played game of chess leads to the demise of the opposing king.

This I’m not sure.

In a new game.

Yes, they are, (although not really depending on how you play).
You are ...
The queen in a game of chess
Outcast, always alone at the end of the games we play
The queen usually is either sacrificed or one of the last pieces in play
Beauty, defies me and leads to my demise
The queen is very powerful and can sometimes lead novice players into making mistakes when they try to rely too heavily on her
Jagged, the structure in which I stay
Pieces in chess can only move in rigid, predefined patterns
Fire, surrounds me its warmth I use as a disguise
Not quite sure but maybe it is talking about other pieces surrounding the queen at the start of a game of chess?
Restless, even in death I return
Most people choose to revive their queen if they make it to the other side with a pawn
Expendable, are the pawns I send forward to stop you
The pawns in a game of chess are expendable
Probably not correct but I think a fun answer.
You are
Lord Sauron
Explanation
Outcast, always alone at the end of the games we play
Sauron tries to attack the Free Peoples of Middle Earth multiple times and each time he is defeated and banished (outcast) for a time.
Beauty, defies me and leads to my demise
He is defeated by elves, described to be a beautiful race. You could also say he is destroyed by the beauty of Frodo and Sam's freindship which allows them to persevere until the Ring is destroyed.
Jagged, the structure in which I stay
Sauron resides in Dol Guldur and then later in Barad-dûr, both jagged structures.
Fire, surrounds me its warmth I use as a disguise
Sauron projects a flaming lidless eye above his tower. Many think the eye is Sauron himself but the books never actually say that it is.
Restless, even in death I return
Sauron has been defeated multiple times. Each time his spirit is banished for a while but returns after gaining strength. At least until the Ring is destroyed.
Expendable, are the pawns I send forward to stop you
Sauron's main forces are orcs which come in large hordes and are very expendable.
