Description

This is the first of a two part set I'll be doing with Owen. At first glance he looks pretty bad and for those not familiar with him would think that his helmet or his fire is hurting him. Not at all. Physically they don't hurt him. His helmet isn't heavy and his fire isn't even felt, but he's just so sick of it. He hates his fire and longs to get rid of it. In his eyes its ruinned his life and now he's forced to wear the helmet if he wants to interact normally. Of course he can never put out his flame or he'd die so that eats away at him too. Every once in a while he'll dwell on this too much and get stuck in this circular reasoning. "If I didn't have this fire I could be normal, but if I get rid of it I'd die. I don't want to die but I can't lead a normal life..." etc. So after over thinking his dilema he'll occassionally have an emotional break down like this. He's only doing it to himself though and if he'd just learn to accept the fire and enjoy it he would be so much better off.

He doesn't deserve it, but I can't help but feel so bad for him. Maybe he deserves to suffer for many things, but I can't help but love him BECAUSE he's such a despicable human being. I adore villains and villian-types; like you, however, I prefer my villains cold, cunning, and calculating, rather than in-your-face stereotypes. They are so much more fascinating and deep that way. I'm also a sucker for antagonists with sad pasts or miserable lives, whether or not that's what drove them to be such nasty people (obviously, in Owen's case, his being a Gifted has nothing to do with what a prick he is; he was like that WAYYY before he got his fire). The funny thing is, if he existed in real life, I would hate him with every fibre in my being. I would want him dead, because I can't abide cruel, nasty people. But it's his unlikable nature that makes him so endearing, including his delightful arrogance.
