(Own) Character Breakdown

Foreword
Do note, even though I created them, this is essentially my own thoughts and reasoning for the things I've written. These thoughts aren't 100% fact. (I'll also try to clean this up, but this is supposed to be a thought dump.)

Initial Creation
As the first character I made and the only true one I've thought out from the beginning, him and his story get pretty deep. For one, the question I asked to make him, why essentially every World Noble is evil, was answered a pretty messed up fashion. He had to witness the bloody, battered body of the man that saved his life continuously get beaten by his parents at the age of seven in order to begin balancing the World Nobles. Even after that, he also figures out for himself that the man was killed by said parents which gives him the final push he needs to begin chasing after a goal.

Meeting Elena
While Elena is the least thought out character (IllworkonherIpromise), her purpose is to essentially humanize Argon. Her happy, charismatic nature and how she enjoys her life rub off on him and help him grow accustomed to living as a commoner. While it's not added yet, how he interacts with others will change since he's currently a passive-aggressive arse to anyone else.

Fighting in Jailbird's Night
Up to this point, Argon has been a simple character. He's pretty much just a kid that got traumatized that wants to become a strong, good guy. The Jailbird's Night was meant to make him much more complex. Two things would begin to question his thoughts about the World Nobles.

The ideology of most World Nobles is cruel and uncaring, not seeing the horror in war and battles, selfishly gaining, etc. The casualties and Argon's own difficult battle are meant to shift that first belief and start to separate him from the World Nobles, beginning one of the first steps it would take to achieve his overall goal.

Argon's battle against Captain Yttrium did something else entirely, it questioned that very goal he reached for and even his own morality. For one, Argon denies Yttrium's request when he asks to be given entry into the estate in order to free all slaves and kill any World Noble residing in the estate. This denial means that the two forces must continue fighting, the pirates' force being partially made up of slaves that Argon had befriended and freed. Even after all that, there's one thing that crushes Argon mentally, Stephen R. Yttrium was not evil and he had to kill him. Yttrium's goal was to end slavery and he had enough determination as to become a pirate, as well as a symbol of fear, in order to accomplish that goal. This idea is the reasoning for the next part of Argon's story which continues to question him.
