6/6/08 Writing Prompt

I wish I could complete the monologue, but I just don't have the time. I'll probably come back later and do it. But for now, I'll leave you with the basic specs of this very old character of mine. I've written several versions of this character and just could not tear away from him for some reason. He lives in a completely fictional world that's infested by demons (something like Final Fantasy), and in a city that's infested by crime and corruption, so that's why I made him an assassin. It's the common stuff you'd create when you were younger =P Since he kinda grew on me, I just thought I'd share. I don't write about him anymore...but he's sort of like a nostalgic persona that I'd like to keep. Though he doesn't exist, obviously, I consider him as a part of me anyway.

Don't be surprised if some of his traits somewhat mirror something out of an angsty teenager's imagination...after all, I'll admit I was an angsty teenager in my past.

Three strengths: He possesses formidable physical strength, and compensates any shortcomings with his agility. Keen peripheral senses.
Three weaknesses: Reminders/memories of his past usually get the best of him and it becomes his main weakness. His aversion to social interactions is also a weakness since he often refuses to ask others for help when and if he needs it and therefore has to deal with hardships alone (even when he can't). His refusal to let others into his life.

Pessimist, optimist, or realist? : Pessimist

Inner goal: To rest his troubled soul by seeking revenge on other serial killers and of the like. To find rest from his memories.

History

Important background information: He used to share a loving relationship with his mother when he was a child but for some unknown reason, as he grew a bit older, she became more distant. Her neglect opened the doors to other sorts of personal hardships in his life, and therefore became victimized to said abuse. Coming out of high school, he was then hospitalized, but was discharged a little early. He recovered from his mental illness but did not recover from the comorbidities and therefore still suffered from his memories of trauma.
Criminal record: Considered a criminal because of his unorthodox ways of dealing with crime. These unorthodox ways, however, soothe him from his personal pain. In a way, the unorthodox methods seem just, knowing what heinous acts his targets committed upon others.
Happiest time in their life so far: Early childhood
Any traumatic events: Suffered abuse as an adolescent and as a result suffered from a mental illness known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. He appeared to have grown out of it later through some intensive hospital care and counseling.
Education level: College graduate.

I think I'll consider this post as a monument or a memorial to this character =P
