Knights on a Starless Night (work in progress title)(visual novel)(18+)
GrowlyOldMan for Vasco
Captain of the 267th regiment of knights of Morzlundt, Vasco used to be a fine career soldier, who once served in the famed 77th regiment of knights. But a certain incident scarred him to the point of not being able to perform his job properly anymore. By having a sizeable list of accolades, he still managed to hold onto his position as a captain, but he eventually got appointed the unenviable role of damage assessor as the head of the 267th regiment. This change in fortune has made him somewhat apathetic to the plight of the people around him and has turned him into a cynical man, who cares not for the noble code that the knights serve under nor the oath he swore to pick up the blade and defend his king, country and its citizenry.
While Vasco still does perform his duties to a certain degree and no one really minds his negative attitude, underneath his cynical facade, he actually yearns to recapture the selfsame glory he felt back in his days as the captain of the 77th regiment. So much so, that he's willing to kill in order to have his miserable fortune in life change and kill he does. Vasco has already started making moves to regain a semblance of his faded glory and he will stop at nothing until he's on top of the world. This essentially makes him the villain of the story. Fenzu and co. will cross paths with him multiple times and as time goes on, he will start losing his grip on reality more and more until his agenda changes from simply using people as stepping stones to make his star rise again to becoming a god and killing all those who oppose him.
We have no specific voice in mind for Vasco, but be creative!
Yes! That's it! Take the hatred! Make it your own! Nurture it! Let it grow within you until the day you're strong enough to kill me! When that fateful day arrives, I will savor every last bit of it!
What good is a life if it can't be used to fuel my ambition? The weak should serve the strong! Be it in life or death. You and your friends are like cattle, living your insignificant lives until you're slaughtered by my hands. Your ultimate fate lies with me. Find comfort in the fact that your death will serve a greater purpose. I will ascend to a greater plane of existence! I WILL BE A GOD!
(to an angry Fenzu) Mind your tone, whelp! Your concern for the safety of the remaining villagers is sickeningly sweet, but my job here is to simply assess the damage done to the village by the bandit attack. If there are any villagers scurrying about the surrounding forest or in captivity, then that's none of my business. I know, it's hard to believe. Now, if you still want to go after those villagers, then might I suggest you piss off and go looking for them yourself? I'd call for some backup, so you don't have to go alone. But at the end of the day, any mounting casualties are just a number that I need to add onto the pile. Your death won't be much different.
