User blog:Krayfish/Uszaroth, an Anti-Hero

You may have already noticed some of the retconning I've been doing with Uszaroth. I do have plans for him and this is actually a sort of behind the scenes blog, but I'll just put it here as it leads up to the next story arc.

How Uszaroth came to be (in real life)
Before his original appearance, my stories on Spore Wiki were mostly hard science fiction. Uszaroth and Krayhan were just there for background information to make the Dhragolon a religious empire. However, all that changed when I suddenly got the idea to introduce him into The Reunion as an actual, living being. This of course added fantasy elements which opened up new realms of possibility.

Originally, I designed Uszaroth as a being of pure evil. When I had written comedic dialogue for him during The Reunion, I thought: Why not turn him into a griefer? Maybe I should go for a more comedic type rather than just pure evil. That's when I turned him into a being of chaos. Of course, I decided to change Krayhan's teachings as well - to that of balance to...well...balance out Uszaroth's teachings of chaos.

After The Reunion, he disappeared for a while and I looked to making Altus Infra the main villain. Of course, someone trying to become a god needs to get his powers from somewhere. The answer: Uszaroth. Infra had sapped his power away so that Infra could become a god.

But then came the big moment. Uszaroth's power was being sapped away until he was nothing more than an imp making him look kind of pitiful. After some recent retcons with Krayhan and Marana, I began to think: why does Uszaroth cause chaos in the first place? And then, that's when I decided to give him a lot more backstory going for a more sympathetic approach exploring the reasons behind causing chaos. The reason: his rejection in society.

His planned role
Generally, for the next story arc, I wanted to explore Uszaroth's character a lot more. I wanted to go for an anti-hero approach. After having been rejected so much, he wants to seek some sort of acceptance, but upon finding it to be impossible, his own rage builds up. (At this point, he is a powerless imp so he can't go around destroying Malisk II again.)

Sometime later, he is found by someone else (unknown at this time) and is turned into Vernietigen's puppet. Uszaroth's hatred and anger becomes magnified to sinister proportions. I will likely write a series of stories explaining Uszaroth in greater detail in order to lead up to the events of the next story arc.

Any feedback or suggestions?
