Is it supposed to be some bizarre warning klaxon when one is designing a protagonist, but when people hear the dialog, they think he is in fact, the antagonist of your work?

Have I finally turned? Have I become a truly uncaring person in the scope of generating wholesome entertainment...?

Awesome.

But in all seriousness, in some fugue state of my mental facilities, I have been somehow hardwired to not care about how a character I make feels to the audience. I mean, it's one thing for my roommate to think I'm going a little dark, but it must be something incredibly subtle for me to miss it. I am, in fact, the only one of my age group to not only properly heckle, but accurately correct discrepancies in "Les Miserables" and "A Beautiful Mind", via live performance.

Maybe it's a phase, maybe it's a sign from some deity I haven't pissed off yet, but it's disheartening. The people paying me to work with my group on this Spyro project are strikingly taken by the character I was assigned to create, but even they've noticed some dialog leaning toward a darker hero. Almost anti-hero, despite the fact I was trying to avoid that from day fucking one. Maybe because the character's bipedal form is designed off Zachary Quinto, but that would be a strangely obvious tie-in for me. Zeke writes most of the dialog and even his work is somehow malicious. Of course, the character's first true introduction is oddly reminiscent of the first time we were introduced to KITT in the eighties.

Zeke: It is truly puzzling. I am not capable of doing anything beyond what I have designated as my current needed task, but this is becoming the single-most annoying project I have ever undertaken.

*Good news on my side of the fence, I have Zeke answering the intercom to whomever is visiting the apartment and ringing up to my place. So, if at anytime you feel the need to try and buzz a random apartment in the greater Schaumburg area and are answered by a curt Englishman, you may have found my secret lair.

Zeke: "Curt" isn't a proper term for my speech patterns. You said it would be expected to be pleasant and courteous. not "curt".

He verbally assaulted our mail-man, and it was awesome.
