Art: 038/100 Themes - Dreams

"Dechideran." Dreams. - 38/100 Themes.

I wanted a villain that people could relate to, who you could understand why he does things and why he goes over the edge. Much of Sorian's motivation comes from constant comparison to his older brother - who is the heir to the Heilmdor throne. He has deeply-seated envy and desire to look good in front of his father. That's why he values hard work so highly, because he sees his brother as piddling, foolish, and undeserved of their title.

I think all the characters in my world have mommy-daddy issues, haha.


 

Sorian gazed at his brother's portrait, hanging in its gilded frame on the wall. "One day," he muttered. "I will show Father how much of a fool you really are."

He lifted the golden crown from the pedestal and brought it to rest on his forehead.
