Personality
Kartikeya is a broken man with desperation and fear as his driving force. He feared death more than anything; to him, violence is everyday occurrence for battle is not an ordinary bloodbath; it’s a way to protect one’s life. Past experiences made him to be highly paranoid and close to being socially unfunctional; trusting no one and thinking everybody is out to kill him. He, however, dropped his guard more easily when meet those of his own race. The feeling that he’s not alone in this world is a new concept that he really cherishes. Alas, those meetings have proven to be deadly more than once, yet he keeps on repeating the same mistakes.
In a way, Kartikeya is similar to that of a child; impressionable and somewhat naïve. Kartikeya sees the world and its people in two ways: those who wronged his kind and those who are yet to wrong his kind. His hatred towards other races aren’t unfounded, after all they’re the ones who make him the way he is today, but Kartikeya failed to realize that not all people are the same and continue on living in his narrow world. It might be hard to justify or even understand his actions, but Kartikeya isn’t evil. He just wants to protect both his life and people he cared about. Only he doesn’t know how.
