Hoyo!
So, I came up with a story concept a whopping 12 years ago, and have spent the last 8 years learning to compose orchestral music. And it took me until just recently, at the beginning of February, to come up with a musical theme for the main character of that story. And at last, after about a month of work and polish, his theme is finally done!
Below is my personal theme for the Red-Eyed Demon, the main character of my (hopefully) soon-to-be-written and (again, hopefully, within the next two-ish years) published story of "Assassin's Pledge."
With his body serving as host to a Demonic spirit, his eyes emit an otherworldly crimson glow which he is now famous for. Raised since childhood in a hellishly brutal world of assassins the theme reflects the twisted nature of the character with emotions jumping from lows to highs and everything in between. Brief moments of hope are bordered by harsh moments of hate and malice, followed by moments of drawn out sorrow and silent reflection. He has been indoctrinated, tortured, and in every way broken time and time again until he became the ultimate human weapon (and slave to the Grandmaster of Te'i Sai, the assassin organization which raised him). Known for his brutality and efficiency, he's become the most widely feared assassin in this story world.
Following a fated meeting with one who is his polar opposite, the question now asked is... Will the light buried deep within his heart (a relic from a time before this nightmarish existence was forced upon him) at last be set free to shine, or will the thread keeping that light alive snap and ensure his existence remains shrouded in eternal darkness?
Any comments and/or critiques are welcome!
