Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue
Lampwick for Extravagant and Dramatic Norwegian Artist
The character likes to be theatrical and at the center of attention, even while he’s being dismissed or in a losing position. He will embellish anything he says with metaphors, and when embarrassed, he can’t keep his mouth shut - he keeps on stuttering and snapping back.
He is full of himself and acts as if the entire world is a stage, taking even simple things to a whole new level of drama. He abhors anything that is pedestrian or mainstream but loves melodrama and mythology, to the point where he would see himself in legends as if they were happening today.
‘Eighth-grader syndrome’ trope.
“Mortality is a sin I am more than glad to aid you in getting rid of, NOW!”
“*Sigh*. What a boorish way of handling things. No swag, no brilliance, just… mundane mediocrity...How… dreadful…”
“Fascinating, isn’t it? How it all comes together now, my little protégé. Let's embrace the moment and celebrate like the gods on Olympus.”
“It’s not about greatness... I… simply dared to be more than just… a man, a mere fool. I chased a furtive desire, and lost… everything.”
“Wha- no! I meant- Gods! URGH, I want respect!”
“KYAAAAAAHAHAHA! DENIED, INSOLENT FOOL!”
“A little bit of this, a little bit of that. A generous amount of pity and so -much-eyeliner-it-masks-my-inability-to-form-a-deep,-personal-connection.. - aaaand, tadaa! Plagiarism! Eh..heh…hehh… - No.”
Nice work! :)
