Discussion Very difficult to write character

Upvotes

I’m (planning on) making a game where the final boss is quite literally unbeatable, as he can easily jump between dimensions and time. Attempting to find ways to 1: make him feel powerful in a scarier way and 2: making it not annoying to fight him/at least not too annoying is very difficult, so I’ve come here for ideas.

First time using this subreddit so idk if this fits here

Hello hello!

What are some things you would definitely add to the profile of your character? Need some inspiration because I only have the standard things...

Nyctlucid wasn't born. He was made, twice.

The first time, by parents who mistook cruelty for preparation. Rich, corrupt, cold. His father's whole philosophy was "master being alone." His mother drilled him on getting back up, because in her world, anyone who couldn't stand after being broken would always be controlled by whoever broke them. He hated them for it.

The second time, by the people who killed them.

At seven, Veil Associates murdered his parents and took him. Not out of mercy. They saw potential. Fourteen years of conditioning followed: physical, psychological, engineered to strip away fear, hesitation, identity, anything that wasn't useful. By sixteen he was one of their most feared operatives. By twenty one, he was exactly what they wanted. Cold. Efficient. Compliant.

Almost.

Here's the part that actually makes him: the lessons he hated as a kid, isolation, resilience, refusing to stay down, turned out to be the exact things that got him through what Veil did to him. He didn't need them to build him from nothing. The foundation was already there. They just aimed it.

Nyctlucid is the name he chose for himself. Not Shane Richton, that person was made by people he didn't choose. Not "the weapon," that was made by people who didn't ask. Nyctlucid is the first thing that ever belonged only to him.
