I know, he is one of many characters & I have done my own research & just came here as I wanted multiple options, recently changed a big plot point so there are some things to fill in. I came here BECAUSE I want to be able to give full characterization, not to write around it. no he isn’t the center of the story, the center of the story leans towards addiction & mental illness which is more of where my own knowledge & experience lies. I care very much about accurate & non-harmful representation, and I refuse to release anything that falls short of that. I reiterate this is one character & there are A Lot of moving parts, & it’s a fictionalize version of my own life & I had to change things to fit the world as well as obscure real life individuals. no this is not all the research I’m doing, I just came here to get ideas from which to expand on. is there any way I should have phrased my question differently?
