Well, that can be something that differs from person to person. For me, Damarcus was one of the best characters to write. I feel that he is very misunderstood and gets taken advantage of a lot considering his abilities. As y'all will find out in his journal entry that I will put out tomorrow, being a Seer is not all it's cracked up to be.
I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to portray the idea of foreseeing the future in my novel. I've seen a few television programs and read some interesting works on it, so this is my own fun twist. It's also my way of explaining how uncool this gift would actually be. That's a lot coming from me as I used to think knowing the future would be awesome. When I really sat down to think about it, I realized it would be quite the burden.
That's where my lonely, irritable Damarcus comes in. For anyone who knows me personally - and if my presence hasn't been clear in the other characters- my own personality is woven a bit more in Damarcus. Overall, Damarcus was one of my favorite characters and is my favorite Volkenheim brother. Which is saying a lot considering I'd love to be a Elemental most of all.
Listen to me ramble. Whoops! Hehe. Well, that's it for the introduction to Damarcus and his current-ish journal entry pertaining to his magic. If you haven't read the blog post for his former years, I'd suggest taking a look at that before delving into this one. However, it can be read as a stand alone post, so no worries.
Cheers!
