User blog:Scottish-Terror/"Hero" - Personal Project

this blog is just a way for me to update a project I've been working on for a long time now, a series of stories centered around a deconstruction of sorts of many "good versus evil" and "hero versus villain" themes in media - the project is a massive work in progress and thus Blogs seems the best way to help work on the concepts and get feedback etc.

Protagonist
the protagonist is a 30 year old man who has been on a rather destructive path for many years, having grown obsessed with superheroes and the fantasy of saving the world - which caused many tragedies, such as the death of his brother, frequent trouble with law and struggles with family and friends.

the basics of his character is that he, like the antagonist, is mentally unstable and socially unaccepted yet unlike the antagonist he wants to make the world a better place and tries to be the "Hero" in a world where "good" and "evil" are muddled at best.. struggling to understand that reality is not like comics, cartoons or fairy tales he is very different from your usual "big good" and frequently gets into morally questionable situations both of his own design and brought on by his reckless behaviors.

Antagonist
the antagonist is a 28 year old female who has severe mental illness that mainly revolves around her belief  that nothing save herself and the protagonist exists.. basically she see everything as meaningless "numbers" with herself as "number 1" and the protagonist as "number 0" - thus in her view the pair are a binary truth but everything else is not real or worth caring for.

To her all things are ultimately meaningless and she believes "at the end of all things" only she and the protagonist will really exist, despite claiming to care for the protagonist she frequently abuses him and often sees him as an extension of herself rather than an independent being.
