    Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it, and that it is original! I really wanted to make something different, but it’s hard to come up with a different villain because most are spurred by pain. As far as I know, you aren’t just born a ruthless bad-guy, XD 😀

    And oh man, it is like Darth Vader’s story! I wasn’t even thinking about that when I wrote it — things slip into my writing and I don’t even know it… Does that happen with you? I just want to make sure I’m not the only one…

    In fact, what I had in mind with his parents’ deaths was a twist on Batman’s back-story — instead of taking his power and fighting for justice, he tries to get rid of all justice just to get his own.

    And killing the masked-man should totally be part of his motive for the Cullings! In fact, what if one of our characters is the one to kill him, and in turn gains some of Andor’s favor?

    And that idea with the young boy is awesome! It would totally add more to the story, even if it is a bit like Darth’s; which I don’t mind at all 😉

    I’m thinking about his personality, and he seems like he would be a, quoting you, “spur-of-the moment villain, driven more by desires and emotions than anything else–” because you said it perfectly.

    But he’s got to be smart as well; the way he was able to handle his business shows that. However, maybe his emotions can over-power that at times. He could have advisors, but will lash out at them angrily if they don’t please him in the moment — ahh! more like Darth. I need help.

    And when the kid comes into the scene, he could protect him, and care for him like a son.

    OOOOORRRRRRR! (I think I have a good idea, I dunno) the boy could betray him by giving away information to help the good guys, and Andor is torn between love for the kid and hatred. He wants to get rid of him, but can’t bring himself to kill him. And that then leads him into a fit of rage where he becomes more ruthless than ever — and our guys are forced to act against unforseen circumstances.

    I’m sorta thinking, because of his good-upbringing but terrible downfall, he is a complex character. I have a feeling he needs a lot of development.

    Man, villains are difficult.
