No, WHY does he burn villages, kill people by the hundreds, and how the hell does he kill people with a single punch?

Man, I'm going to have to think about him a bit more.

Exactly.

*Sigh* Just how did I manage to make Lord Walter anyway? Just what did I do to create somebody like him?

Perhaps, he has some Kurm blood in him, untapped potentials, and the reason he can kill people with a single punch is because the ancients guide his hands!!! And that's also the reason he's so obsessed with violence.

No, Eleph, it is possible for an ordinary human to kill a person with a single punch. Perhaps he hit them with a metal gauntlet or something like that.

He's not obsessed with violence, Eleph, he's just abusing it since he knows nobody can stop him.

You have to be some kind of precision kung-fu master, or hit the Adam's apple, or any other crucial points like the spine. Otherwise, you're having knockouts, critical or otherwise.

I'm kind of having a Jean vibe from him. I have an idea — why don't you just the old man's characterization template and phases?

The worst thing that ever happened to him was the day his family was slaughtered before his very eyes. And ever since that happened, he has spent two decades hunting down the perpetrators of this massacre and ruthlessly killed them.

Well, I'm experimenting with him! Maybe I can make this guy the sub-leader...

And let Mikhail be the grimdark serious type while his subordinate will be the lighthearted cheery type.

Argh, I'm not trying hard enough.

This is hopeless, I can't even create a proper character.

Characterization is some heavy work, so I'm going to lend you some books, and you're going to read them, and learn about characterization.

You don't learn about characterization in non-fiction books, Heis.

Halt, let me type for a while. I'm going to try getting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Count Mikhail of Yngvarr was born in the grim northern borderlands of the Hadewich Empire, and people in those lands lived a hard life since they had to constantly battle the harsh winter climate of the north and the unsubdued barbarian tribesmen at the same time.

OK, LET ME CONTINUE TYPING. NO INTERRUPTIONS.

Mikhail was only one in 10 children that his family bred. A number of 32 children had already died due to various reasons, such as disease, cold weather and injuries sustained during battle.

Bastardry wasn't looked down in the Empire, in fact, it was encouraged since they saw it as an opportunity for more manpower.
