Getting Too Deep With Reasoning

[Strazio Rockwell]

Every character I write is just a reflection of myself sent through a funhouse mirror, some are closer to reality while others just have a few strands.

Strazio - When I was younger I had a hard time keeping my emotions in check, especially the negative ones. I was bitter, angry, and cynical. I lost a lot of friends and connections because I dug myself into a hole of self-loathing and apathy for a good few years and distanced myself from almost everyone. How cool would it have been to be an independent loner that got strength from their anger? At any rate I've gotten a lot better. I've learned how to be vulnerable to people and I don't take life too seriously. I can still get wrapped up in my emotions, but I have some perspective now to handle them better.

Valerie - Val is kinda who I want to be. I want to have that carefree lovable persona. I want to live in harmony within the world and love each moment for what it is. He's the free-spirit I hope to be.

Renji - This one's tricky, largely because I have such a difficult time writing as Renji. I think he represents my desire for perfection, but also my inability to decide on what to perfect.

Kuzuru - Arguably my favorite character to write, I think he represents my secret love for chaos. It's kind of scary, but I have a secret love for entropy. I love watching systems break down, it's a sort of morbid curiosity to see just how bad things can get. I'm not sure what to take of it, but it's like watching a train wreck - fascinating and frightening at the same time.
