Only 2 more, I promise!

Aeros, the "villain" of the story . . . but which is more evil? The kind of evil that the joker from the dark knight is: insane, a killer who loves what he does? Or the kind of evil that is apathetic? Who kills and lets live without rhyme or reason? Who doesn't feel anything when he pierces a child, or cuts down a woman . . . .

The first one is easier to understand, in a way. At the same time, it may also be scarier. YOu know you'll die, at the hands of a psychopath. And you want to fight back.

The second . . . . how do you fight someone who is so emotionless he drains it from you as well? Who not only destroys cities, but hope as well?

It is hard to mold a character who creates despair. But at the same time, I've known great despair. He must be both evil and yet almost someone you can empathize with. (Thats one of the biggest hangups on this project, because this character is so hard to nail down.)
