1. Why I played this character.
A few months back (LOL like December) a friend and I were discussion psychopaths and sociopaths and it left me with the feeling of wanting to play one. I did a general research of characters who could have that characteristic but I didn't want to go down the 'murderous rawr rawr' route if that makes sense. I wanted a character who was a psychopath which fitted in with his mythology. As you know, the Aztecs are incredibly complex in terms of 'good' vs 'evil' and totally don't have any sense of that. So it was taking a character whose 'morals' would not fit our modern ideals, it was then a matter of how psychopathy helped translate that and build the character. So Tezcatlipoca is a psychopath but back then if there had been such definitions he would've been labelled the same, or something close enough. If I make sense! There is also the challenge of playing a character that is so radically different- not just in how to play him, but the research involved, the construction of him and his development. It is a challenge never to let him fall into a moral sort of area. IDK something.
2. My favourite moment in canon for this character.
LMAO the fact that the issues between him and Quetz were actually started by Quetz throwing a fit first. QUETZ TAKE SOME CHILL PILL DUDE.
3. My favourite moment in game-canon for this character.
I'm a big fan of his friendship!agreement!mutually assured destruction with Set. I think both of them are so fierce and badass and every time they talk I just go :D! HAHAHHA.I also love his mommy!Morgause stuff.
4. My favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
Probably the fact he kills people and eats their heart every now and again; the logic behind it is really interesting to ponder on, and it makes me sympathize on some weird level? Or at least understand WHY he feels the need to do what he does, not that this justifies it but I like being able to understand!
