Victor probably is just that one dude who's a goof on the surface but has like 500 problems underneath
I mean, the game isn't exactly subtle about it. Dude randomly started some kinda murder program for teens with problems...with a teen. And he's called the Grim Reaper. While being the queen's aide (said queen got to the throne at age 18 after everyone else died...definitely not suspicious at all)
He's either the queen herself or the queen's brother lol (the latter is my conspiracy theory)

My type is either the "looks super serious but is actually a goof" (see Milo, Camille) or "looks like a goof but actually has problems" (Run)
Also this is a false dichotomy, obviously, since I can't place many characters in there.
All my favorites are scary when they put their minds to it. Gotta love people with aura

"I'll just design Uang and fail at it and be done with it (*does it in one try*) WHAT THE HECK"

They just chill like that ig (I'll veto this tomorrow)

It kinda kills me how the Silver Saints are probably the more normal friend group but then you have them in combat and it's absolute chaos. I have no idea how they coordinate. They probably don't ngl. I think half of them just try their best and the other half...I don't even know. 

 
The answer is that they don't. I think only Miram and Isidor do planning of any kind (Joaquin tries and rapidly gives up). The others just go at it
Guys, guys, we can't let the canon's Silver Saints pull a leg up on us, please. (meanwhile the canon's Silver Saints tying one of their own to a pole in the middle of the ocean)

I imagine Alma plays good chaotic kazoo

I'm finding that Joaquin's personality is pretty much just "Oh well, that's the way it is!"
Not sure how to feel about this.
Also he's turning out to be a big hassle to design.

Dude is a hassle to design, not as bad as certain people (not capitalized because I'm not mad at them, I'm mad at myself) but still

Clearly the solution is to make him the second Pope

I will never shut up on the little details for Alleikhreos
It's just extremely well-built. The music, the atmosphere, the boss moves, everything. He has like 3 minutes of screentime in terms of cutscene but he's just so iconic

-Just the entire premise. It's unnerving to see someone come out of the Aether after everything else before was just shadows of people and constructs
-"This buried love grows teeth" is the premise for his entire character but boy does it show up in the small details
-"I WANT YOU ON YOUR KNEES" for the boss who goes onto his knees for the MC
-"Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo" playing on strings after the Endministrator says "I refuse", signaling Alleikhreos' fury toward the answer he anticipated after all these years. And I'm saying this while not knowing anything about their original connection. 
-The texture on his model is splendid. The clothing. The stone texture. 
-I freaking love the severed hands on his eyes btw (probably a reference to the original poem by Vergil)
-THE SALUTE WITH HIS SWORD. The way he has an arm behind him. The way he holds his sword upright and brings it down.
-I'm obsessed with the way he paces backward before teleporting straight in front of you and attempts to impale you
-Also, the fact that many of his attacks can't be completely dodged--there's always a little bit of honing damage or shockwave damage
-I can't emphasize how funny it is to stagger him consecutively before he straightens up and tries to run you through again with his giant hecking sword anyway
-It's also hecking funny to just steal his sword repeatedly and orbital strike him with it. 
-HE USES A BOWWWW (and the Gate of Babylon) (/hj)
-Also, his pattern of striking is extremely satisfying to look at. Makes me mad when I get comboed by him during lag but visually it's so worth it
-I just think his character design is so neat. He has no way of expressing his emotions on his face, he towers over people who beat him to the ground
-"You have turned this paradise of stars into a tomb / Ten thousand years of silence trapped inside a barren womb"; "I can taste our paradise amongst the stars when you inhale"
-The entire song and game mechanic of stealing his sword is just an ironic callback. "I saw the face of God turn blind, he cried, 'You are the Destroyer'" & "The soft void opens its eyes to find, you are the Destroyer" --> "YOU ARE THE DESTROYER, YOU ARE THE DESTROYER" in Amaranthus Caudatus

Everything culminates together to feel like we're committing a personal, if not ideological, betrayal of someone who loves and hates us at the same time. Within like 10 minutes. It's amazing, truly. My favorite boss fight so far

I will recommend AK Endfield for the texture quality and boss fights lol

Trying to decide whether it'd be funnier for Eugen to be some kinda Disney Princess for insects only or if they've actually been stung or bitten by 500 different species and still be undeterred

They really would be like (*gets asked question about what insect that is*) (*lets insect bite them*) (*names it based off the hurt they're feeling*)
