HELLO I FORGOT THIS WAS IN MY INBOX JSBFKJBDHN
ok so like. phobos is my favourite character in madcom aside from hank bc he's just,, so appealing for some reason?? like in MPN2 all we rlly know about him is that he's this self-absorbed bastard who's obsessed with becoming a literal god. he's not terribly fleshed out in canon outside of his motives so he's basically a blank slate for me to play with n i have SO many hcs for him it's not even funny lmFAO
like one of my favourites for him is that his obsession with becoming a god stemmed from him being super insecure abt his skills and being fucking terrified that he wasn't/isn't good enough. so to cope w that he adopted this arrogant, narcissistic persona and hid behind it to keep ppl off his back. and eventually he was like "i mean. if i was as powerful as a god these people wouldn't even consider questioning me would they??" so he doubled down on it in the hopes it'd make himself seem more elevated & respectable as he schemed.
naturally that totally backfired on him, bc of course it did lmao. maintaining a false persona for that long made him completely lose himself, to the point where current phobos genuinely has no idea how he used to act and can't figure out how to stop being a fabricated version of himself. but he still avidly pursues his original goal because hey, that's nothing a little godhood can't fix, right?
anyways tldr he's a complete moron and someone needs to smack some brain into him lmao i love him jfkjbdgfjnnkjk
