tldr i want to strangle sampo koski
there will never be a character that will be more infuriating for me to write then Sampo Koski because we know fucking nothing about him outside of him being a masked fool.
His character stories are almost entirely unhelpful for direct motive. His dialog feels oily and to at ease to be genuine. every fucking interaction you have with him screams DO NOT TRUST A WORD THIS MAN SAYS to the point it SAYS THAT DIRECTLY.
Every detail weve seen of him is superficial. A facet of his personality that seems interesting but yields nothing. Everything we know is gleened from the Masked Fools and how they act as a whole, and most of that is from Sim Uni.
his name might not even be sampo fo0r all we know !!
Hes shrouded in a mist of mystery that feels so perfect, to perfect to be real. Hes a walking deflection who runs and hides and prods and watches and manipulates the dominos to fall just right.
We dont even know why hes in belobog for gods sake we know NOTHING
WE DONT EVEN GET CHARACTER INTERACTIONS TO INFER FROM EITHER
At most we get dialog ABOUT him , but the most we seem him interact with other playables in game is literally once when he asks if Gepards around (and he doesnt even stick around to talk to him), when hes leading the gang to svarogs , and another where he summons natasha to aide in the fight againsr svarog and from that alone we only ever see him interaft with 1. us , 2. the trailblazers, and 3, seele. Everything else? off screen or indirect
I absolutely love him as a character but GOD do i struggle to write him. Motivation is a key part in writing and plot development so to not know what sampos is outside of superficial inferences is frustating beyond belief because I have to make one up and i dont wanna be disingeniunous to the character. Literally the only thing guiding me rn is that hes on the path of Nihility
so much personality and quirks for me to work with and so little motivation to attatch it to
i should probably also note that this is entirely positive i love the challenge BANDNSR i just wanted to rant about the difficulty of gauging his reactions to events
