Bebbit Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Haven't seen you before, likely because I'm somewhat new here. Welcome back, regardless! I hope you can make yourself at home here... again. Place is still very active, as you can see. And I love your art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to spread the love and summon other Klei and people @MarkL What can I say. I feel silly tonight. Heh. You don't need to summon me because you know I am going to see it anyway. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Boy, years ago, William would've just been a stick in the mud, just the blandest shonen anime protagonist you could imagine, with your Default "Dark past involving a lost loved one" personality package. Right now I'm just trying to add some personality to him, maybe making him a bit more scummy. He think's he'll be absolutely fine on the Isles, but really all those childhood camping trips aren't going to help against trees that can fight back. He's still yet to figure out how to put together a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they look nothing alike. Unless you count impeccable tastes in suits and glasses. Plus, there's something about adding scum to your characters. People being awful is very relateable.

For all your Sueismic purposes, consult here. The devious thing generates Sues with names like Bloodface Candybreath. But if you could tell us more about William, I would be forever beholden to you. He really doesn't sound like Gary Stu; my writer senses would be tingling otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have to remind ourselves that it's not a bad thing to indulge into Sueism; a lot of young teen writers do this for escapism out of their hideously restricted/dull lives. I should know, I was there before, technically I'm still there now, but with a lot more nuance and self-awareness. Basically; Just don't be a ****** about it (the writer and the reader) and we'll all get along just fine. The original William was, again, pretty boring in hindsight. He was a psychiatrist (Apparently a good friend of Wilson's) who lost the love of his life in a car accident, on the night they broke up no less. There wasn't any particular reason for it. He wallowed in self-pity until Maxwell came along and granted him a wish; She lived, but he and his memories get taken away. He's also anchored with shadow powers apparently, no idea why that happened. Now, he was an up-and-coming celebrity in the world of psychology and brain biology, who later revealed that he wanted to prove psychic powers are real. His increasingly hostile obsession made him a laughing stock and his lover left him because of this. Maxwell being Maxwell, he granted William's wish for psychic powers, but at the cost of forgetting everything he was in the real world. So far, Maxwell's newest play thing isn't very interesting to look at. He quite enjoys life on the Isles, and maybe giving him psychic powers was a bad idea on his part. I realized that Maxwell of all people is basically his foil. Maxwell, despite his humble rise to evil, remembers his past sins and has regrets about his actions. William was laughed right out of the spotlight he had earned and without his memories but still having the emotional baggage, is full of pent up rage against the world and would probably abuse his powers for his own entertainment, as opposed to Maxwell being forced to toy with the survivors by Them. Now I wanna see a Maxwell vs William fight and William losing just so he could realise the monster he had become ... >;3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I have to repeat to the folks in my literary cafe - tropes are tools. And sometimes, you actually need a Sue to complete your satire. Funnily enough, many don't realise this. It's somewhere between annoying and saddening. Leaning towards the latter. I find William very interesting - clearly a tragic character, yet no excessive brooding. He has his reasons - and being a foil to Maxwell is just the icing on the cake. I really look forward to learning more about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
