Every artist, at some point, draws inspiration from another character, driven by motivation or admiration. For me, that source of inspiration has always been Sephiroth. A character I've been a loyal fan of for as long as I can remember, Sephiroth's narrative parallels my own in many ways, he experienced isolation during childhood and endured the sting of betrayal, much like myself. This deep connection has fueled my appreciation for him on a profound level, making him a figure I can genuinely relate to.
Motivated by this connection, I took a creative leap and designed a character inspired by Sephiroth. Thus, Seigennfreed was born just a few weeks later. While he shares the same initial spark of inspiration, Seigennfreed will have a slight different story, centered around themes of betrayal and the struggles of poverty. The exploration of his background, abilities, and backstory will be a collaborative effort with you, the reader, as these details will unfold gradually in the upcoming chapters of the novel.
My admiration for Sephiroth runs deep, and it's safe to say I'm much of a fictophilia . This passion serves as a shield, keeping me engrossed in my creative pursuits and deterring me from venturing into personal relationships for the time being. While we are inherently social creatures, my time in solitude has proven to be both peaceful and wonderful. It's a lifestyle I've come to appreciate and find solace in.
Sephiroth's influence extends beyond mere admiration, he serves as a constant source of motivation to strive for greatness. Despite being cast as a villain, Sephiroth inspires me to embark on a journey of self-improvement and growth. It's an alternative perspective on his character, one that transcends his traditional portrayal.
To the returning readers of Prominence, I extend the hope that Seigennfreed will be embraced with the same warmth as Kyrie. For new readers, I invite you to join this creative journey and welcome Seigennfreed into the fold. As we explore the depths of his character, I'm excited for the collaborative storytelling experience that awaits us. Here's to the power of inspiration, the strength it brings, and the stories yet to unfold.
