I keep having this urge to do more Kratos fanfiction lately. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I honestly thought that Lloyd/Zelos was my ship for this fandom, but I can't help but feel that things have definitely changed in this capacity.
I've had at least three other Kratos fanfic ideas in the last twenty-four hours. I think what I like is the challenge of it all. Kratos has a very difficult type of personality to convey, because a lot of emotions run underneath his exterior, and he is the epitome of a person who only says what is necessary. He is neutral in all matter that he feels does not concern him--and a lot of those situations that he removes himself from could be be seen as personal by a more emotional individual/character. He let his own son choose his fate despite any mistakes that he may have made along the way, even if some of those mistakes could be attributed to himself due to his involvement with Cruxis.
As I've said in a previous post, that's the difference between Kratos and Seto--or one of the differences, rather. Kratos is a deeply evolved character with four thousand years of history. He met Mithos on the battlefield as an emissary of peace, and Kratos decided to train him and later was betrayed by Mithos's perversion of Martel's ideals. He's got a disjointed family, guilt for his dead wife and is distanced from his closest friends, whom he is reminded of with Lloyd and his group. There's more to add, for those who are not familiar with the character, but suffice it to say that he's a character that represents many important philosophical ideals.
I want to practice with his personality, to give him a bit of insight into him in a good way. A lot of ToS fanfiction is unacceptably OOC. Terrible. Like with Mokuba themed YGO fanfiction, I would like to correct this.
