Description from SA:
"I don't think it's smart of them at all to war amongst themselves over...but that doesn't mean that I want them to stop. I like watching them tear their kingdom apart from the inside out."
---
I came to realize, quite recently, that a certain character of my developed in a very unrealistic way. His morale, his past, and his present are all based on my childhood ideologies, and I compromised his character for these. But something like that is expected. I created Zurik when I was...what? Fourteen I think...yeah. It was definitely then.
So five years later, I have this epiphany, and now I've finally seemed to have broken away from those silly ideas that I had. I realize that the world is not perfect, and things don't always work out, and people are unpredictable, and some can even be bad...which is good. Because Zurik KINDA lives in a dystopia of sorts anyway. I changed his look a bit to suit his new self. He's essentially the same, just messier.
SO, to break it down for you...Zurik used to be hygenic, lived modestly, was a VIRGIN until he was like...30(probs the most unrealistic part of him), never smiled...like. At all. Was classy. Strong silent type. Well spoken.
But NOW he is gruff, not as well kept, loud mouthed, angry, loves his booze, loves his weed, loves bar fights, a womanizer(but he fails at it), loves whores, and whores love him, a brat, clean at home but still kinda sloppy, hates everyone.
What he retained: Still smokes, still wears his sun glasses at night, is still very smart about covering his tracks, still a hitman/vigilantee, still an unmatched marksman, still extremely and aggressively moral, still a fucking fruit cake in the end, and still loves his goddamn ice cream.
That is all.
TL;DR - Zurik used to be a Mary Sue, now he's a douche bag. And its awesome.

Hid comment cuz I realized I wanted to add more xD Woo! That's a smexy dude haha! And an interesting backstory too... I like 'im :3
I know exactly what you mean though about how your char was created when you were younger, based on teen ideals...I went through a similar realization with one of my characters, my green leopardrat actually. used to be an emo fruity gay with wings but he's changed in image and chilled out a lot. IDK what I'd classify him as though. I know how you feel though, but it is fun to kind of recreate them, grow them up a bit :3 That shows depth right there!

Aha, that's okay. |D Now I won't feel like a fool if I ever wind up doing that on any of your arts.
Thanks! ;u; He's spent a very very long time in the making. I'm so glad there's someone that can relate to how I feel. xD Even though you haven't been around to see him progress in my art (like how some people on SA have) |D But, maybe I should've guessed that this is a revelation that most character makers have. Cheers to us!
