Happy Friday, everyone!

We’re almost halfway through NaNo. Hard to believe. This month has been lasting forever!

But here’s your Friday procrastination post that’s covering a rather fun topic:

Villains.

In my story, the villain (although he doesn’t have a huge part to play yet) is the Steward of Kianda’s throne, Lorcan. The Steward of the throne is a stand-in for the King until Rowan comes of age (the King is dead, by the way).



Um . . . Well. That’s *nervous laughter* a good question.

I would say that we both fight for our beliefs and become offended when people oppose us. He pretends to be tough, but inside he’s very sensitive against criticism. And we also both over-plan certain things, but don’t even think about others.

And, as for differences, he’s more murderous than I am??? #dontask



Lorcan gets very physical when he is angry. His favorite pastime is throwing new wooden chairs against a stone wall, thoroughly breaking them. XD Yeah, he might have slight anger issues....

As for a soft spot, I discuss that later down. Read on....



Lorcan's worst enemy is kind of himself, and also his family.

Himself - he never really tries to better himself. He thinks that the condition he is in right now is perfect, so he doesn’t need to grow.

His family - he feels like his brother stole the throne from him, and has never forgiven him or his children for that "wrongdoing".



Lorcan's weapon of choice would be (this will sound weird) other people. He doesn’t really like to personally hurt someone, but he would 10/10 send someone else to do the dirty work for him. One of his philosophy is that he shouldn’t be guilty for something that he made his servants do. (Definitely not problematic, no sirree.)



As I said above, he has a soft spot - a woman from the village. Usually he dislikes villagers and thinks they’re peasants and weak. But he wishes to marry a younger woman who - is a villager.

I have no idea how this guy justifies things.



He would never do the dirty work of killing someone himself.

Lorcan would also never stoop to "women's work." Although most people believe that women should be respected and that the work they do is honorable, he holds to an old, demeaning tradition that women are inferior.



Lorcan has never met Faye, but he thinks that Rowan is just like his father: a usurper and too self-righteous for his own good.



I like how Lorcan has the courage to do what he believes is right. And he also likes music (although it’s more rap-like than actual music, but still).
