Erik's Comments

First part of my claim from this post

Okay, so first I want to start off by saying...you've got an absolutely amazing project going on here and I can tell you've put a lot of time, effort, and love into developing it over the last 16 years, it really shows with all of your characters and I really think you should continue to work on developing it - even if you don't publish anything officially.

Second, I really did want to comment on Armin or Zefir...but their profiles were a little too overwhelming so I decided to pick a character that wasn't as in depth to give my thoughts on.

 Now onto Erik himself...so the first thing I thought of when I read Erik's profile (probably because I'm a huge fan of Marvel in general but particularly this character) was Bucky Barnes, with the exception of brainwashing to turn him into an assassin/killing machine and make him forget who he was (Bucky) vs amnesia (Erik) and the fact that Erik and Armin weren't actually friends...and Erik used to bully him.

I do think it's kind of cute though that Erik now timidly admires Armin even...and honestly, I think you could possibly use Erik's amnesia to make him a better person overall? There's no mention of who he was personality-wise other than the threat he made towards Armin, but right now Erik gives off the vibe of someone who is "lost and confused" about who he is. And I think this would give him a naturally distrustful personality. Especially considering that the doctors at the hospital only made his amnesia worse. So maybe part of his storyline could be that he's weary and distrustful of everyone at first. Then once he gets to know Kayna...he only trusts her and nobody else, before slowly opening up to Armin and the others?

I see him as being the quieter type as well as a result of his amnesia and mistreatment by the doctors. Whether this is a contrast or in-line with his former personality. But I think at the beginning of the story that Erik would definitely have the following personality traits.

- Wary/distrustful of of people he's just met
- Slow to warm up to people
- Quiet
- Perhaps slightly paranoid (due to his experiences at the hospital)
- Periodically spaces out/goes into a stupor?

And maybe he should have some sort of trigger that either causes him to go into his stupors? OR alternatively, maybe there's a specific song that helps him remember bits and parts of his past?

And if he does ever does fully regain his memories and remembers what he was like before, maybe his experiences and growing friendship with the others (if he ever does become friends with Armin and the others that is) could show him the kind of person he wants to be and so he strives to be a better person than he was?

You don't have to take any of these suggestions if you don't want to of course, but I just thought I'd throw them out there just in case.   

Either way, I'm looking forward to discovering more about him. 

Wanted to jump in and comment smth on the thing (affectionate)'s profile at first, but then i realized this boy has no comments, and i really wonder why since he seems really interesting? There's not much written on here, but it actually makes a lot of sense since yk, he doesn't remember shit lol. Anyway, i'm really curious abt him, will we get more info on him in future, when the story comes out? I really want to know how he lost his memory tbh, or if he ever manages to get it back, even partially. I guess so, by reading his relationship with armin 😭 Didn't want to read the spoilered part in Armin's profile jst in case i ever get the opportunity to read the novel, so i'm kinda concerned of what he meant with "he'll go for him and send him to another world" LMAO did he mean it in a menacing way or like,,, a literal way? Like isekai or smth (i guess the first one is more plausible tbh) ++ his relationship with Kayna is literally so wholesome 🔥 pookies fr

Anyway, rlly cool character, i genuinely wish to read more abt him :) 10/10 character imo

Also he's kinda hot tbh,,,,
