Okay! Let’s talk about ECHO. Echo is hands down my absolute favourite OC. He’s partly a sort of ~guilty pleasure~ character in the fact that I basically made him to be… exactly the type of character I like. HE’S RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED BUT I DON’T CARE. He’s also a villain.. kind of sort of.
I’m not a fan of black-and-white characters. Villainous villains are boring. Heroic heroes are boring. I like characters that are morally ambiguous and will change sides depending on what’s in it for them. NOT HELPING THE HERO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT, BUT HELPING THE HERO BECAUSE OH SHIT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END AND I KIND OF LIKE THE WORLD SO I’LL HELP YOU OUT HERO. Except Echo sort of MAKES the sides and doesn’t join any of them. He has his own agenda.
Echo’s the main antagonist but he’s not “evil” (and he’s certainly not good.). His motivations are weird and he does things just because he’s omnipotent and immortal and has WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS TO DO SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS. It also makes him really narcissistic and over-confident, because even though he’s immortal, he’s not invincible. As much as he’d like to think he is. And for being SO OLD he’s gotten pretty good at being patient… as long as things end up the way he wants them to. If things go wrong at the last second and someone screws up 200 years of planning he is GOING TO BE PISSED. Like killing his best friends. That sort of ticks him off and he’s going to come after you and beat your face in… after he makes a futile attempt at resurrecting them in another body.
He’s also very likely pansexual based on his personality. But me being me that translates to straight-but-is-kind-of-flirty-with-everyone. Plus, he’s had the same girlfriend for the past few thousand years…
He is basically a self-named God, and in actuality is the closest thing Aural has to one. Not that most of them even know he exists. He likes to set up other false Gods and manipulate everything behind the scenes.He’s also one of my few characters that I actually draw wearing different outfits! Though THEY ALL CONSIST OF SOME DRAPEY COAT OF SOME KIND.
ECHO IS BASICALLY THE ONE SINGLE THING THAT MAKES ER ALL THAT IT IS. EVERYTHING WOULD BE DIFFERENT WITHOUT HIM.Reblogging myself because I’m awesome like that.
I love Echo so much. :(
