Happy Blorbo Blursday!
What's your favorite thing about your character, what makes them Blorbo? Is it a personality thing, a design thing, something in their backstory or character arc? Please elaborate on the things you love!
Hello!!
Something I've noticed that's the throughline through all my favorite characters is that -- they have such good intentions. They always just want to help, just want to be supportive, just want to make the world a better place, and either through their own misguidedness or from the world being more complex and immovable than that, things go wrong anyways!!
Like, Anna. She wants to help and protect people. At all times (unless you're in the Bad Person Category), she just wants the world to be safer, the people cared for, everything to be kumbaya.
Except. She was raised by a fascist authoritarian. She only knows how to solve things through violence. You punch the problem until it yields, and staying still and waiting to see what happens is for cowards and incompetents. Her issues arise when she acts before she has all the information, or gets so excited with her own plan that she bulldozes over a better one.
The government is corrupt? Better kill those guys! Oh, the rot spreads further than you anticipated? I bet more assassinations and violence will solve that. Except now everything that made your city/country tick and function is a bloody husk and there's nowhere to get food and no leadership and also your political enemies are licking their chops.
She does her best!! But she doesn't know how to not make things worse :3
