Frizz, our main protagonist (Characters)

     The task of creating a main protagonist is difficult. This character represents the whole project and will be who people see when talking about WOI. In this respect Frizz is one of the most important characters to get right. I hope this bio will be able to help you get an idea of him and hopefully you can point out flaws so that his character may become better.

     If Frizz can be described in one word he is human. What I mean when I say that is that Frizz represents what man can do. Man is a flawed creature, but he is capable of so much. Man is capable of so much wickedness, yet there can be so much good from man. But, so many men fall prey to carnal desires and never turn back. Frizz represents the man who realizes his evils and turns away ultimately becoming a virtuous person. There are many other themes with Frizz I wish to explore. But, this theme is crucial and makes his character and journey.

     Personally, Frizz is quite timid around others. This is likely due in part with him being in a precarious situation of being suspected as a creature of Eclipse. However, Frizz continues moving on hoping for the best. This social isolation led him to becoming introverted and naturalistic. Frizz often takes walks around the hilly division alone. Frizz will sometimes stare into the sky above and watch the ever moving Llumis. Seeing everyone else have friends Frizz wished he could have some too. There were some who cared for him like Vernanda and Kufu, but Frizz didn’t see them as friends due to them being much older.

     Upon saving Rendura from Jabayra caverns and befriending her, Frizz begins to become clingy. This sentiment spreads to the rest of the main party as they are each introduced. Frizz doesn’t want to lose any of them and become isolated again. In doing so he also develops severe perfectionism. Frizz was already a humble individual. However, he becomes enwrapped by the idea that he isn’t good enough for his friends. This perfectionism and self hatred becomes engrained with his character to where he almost look completely different comparing to the beginning of WOI. Frizz continues this struggle until sometime changes at Mystic Swamp (can't go one 'cause spoilers).

     Frizz is based upon a grey British short-hair cat. I chose this animal for several reasons. The inhabitants of light can always be divided into six categories. Felines don’t fit any category and thus creates the discrimination towards Frizz as some inhabitants fear he may be a creature of Eclipse. The reason for being a cat is his fishing job and how cats are often alone and stray. The reason for being grey is the idea that he doesn’t represent a purely good or purely evil side of humanity. He is a mish mash of the goods and bads. Thus, grey represents his character very well. I also chose grey for the convenience of the artist as Frizz wears a long black coat and having Frizz be a black cat could cause problems for differentiating the coat from fur. As mentioned Frizz wears a long black coat with deep pockets for putting in useful tools and gadgets for fishing. Frizz never changes the coat throughout the story but does change his pants and undershirt. Often, he will wear a shade of blue shirt with either khaki or grey pants. He wears brown boots with a coat of dark blue beneath the boot. Frizz is the second shortest of the party with a height of five feet and two inches.

     I hope that this bio gave an idea of what Frizz is like within the story of WOI. He is the main protagonist so please give every bit of critique you can. I want this character to be one of the most famous protagonist of the modern era. So, please critique and give your thoughts.
