Fictional Character, Fictional Life - Adrian Wyllie

For me, finding a character that I would want to be is difficult. Sure, everyone would want to go on a magic carpet ride, but I have always looked at the parts not shown in the book, the life away from the story. It's hard to find a good character. For me, adventure is something I can only dream of having, anything from the norm upsets me. I would never be able to go out and save the world. I would rather take no hand, take no side, and watch. I would rather laugh than fight. But I know I would defend myself if I had to. For this I choose a character that is different than the norm. I choose an entity called the Excession, from the book of the same name, which inadvertently created the very war it came to see. And when it was attacked, it responded with universe destroying power. But it ultimately learns that it should never show itself, and always watch from the outside, because some things that could happen should never happen. Most of these aspects I claim to this entity are my own conjecture around the behaviors it exhibits in the book, but I see things the way I want to. So does the Excession. Both of us share many similarities, some forced upon us, others through our own mistakes. But the main difference is, I am out here, and it is bound by the chains of the ink on a page and the minds who read it.
