theil thoughts
[ [ just some present thoughts on character direction ] ]
her vs richter
richter wants things simple and black and white but cant fit himself within that. id like her to initially have that, like shes been raised by him with things feeling more clear and simplistic than he has experienced [ which could be hell later or shell be smarter and come up w something more general and applicable we just dont know ]
i definitely dont want him to be like the child in their relationship - though she was a big help in him recovering from things and becoming more, shes definitely the child and was the one being nurtured and even as he gets older its not her job to take care of him
shes not forced to be more for him but shes certainly not indifferent to him
he hasnt shared many details of his previous life with her
but he did raise her to be an equal
id like their relationship to be largely healthy if odd
her vs lance
theils white or white passing. if they end up being my two most developed female characters here i def dont want lance to be more primal or less feminine. dont want theil to be innocent white woman trope in comparison so thats something to balance
her vs alex vs lance vs richter
so alex was my first developed fo character and hes social and easygoing and charming and has this easy passion [ if ditzy and raised in the most fucked up of factions ]. lance is charismatic but also has all the storyline of sir lancelot behind her and theres a great amount of tragedy in there and passion as well. richters... not passionate. hes zealous about religion but he doesnt have that love for life going on
i was thinking about theil in the shower a few days ago and come up with something about her learning independence or self-drive vs lance n alex who have something sort of innate going on... i cant remember my exact thoughts now tho lmao
when i was initially writing this i wasnt thinking about alexus so i had things between richter and lance related to her
not ask too much of theil [ baby sit male character = no ] nor ask too little [ delicate flower compared to fem poc character = no ]
more spiritual strength than richter? an easier path of it? inherit independence
definitely less charming and brilliant than lance. mb on par intelligence w richter but less experience [ though more capable of thinking for herself at the same time ]. better socializing than richter innately ( nOT HARD ) but she kinda has a learned restraint from him lmao
..yeah ok i can post this now its just a bunch of starting place thoughts w no commitment lmao
