Who Are The Central Characters In Tryst Six Venom And Their Roles?

'Ensest' is a story about a very close family and every member of the family is playing a role which could be either good or bad for them. The father is a very dominant character in the family and every one is scared of his authority. But there is a crack in his strong façade. The mother is very strong character but she hides her strength behind her submission to her husband. The children are also very unique. The oldest one is trying to please his father, the middle one is rebelling, and the youngest one is absorbing everything. It is very interesting to see how these characters interact with each other and discover their secrets and their struggles. The story also includes relatives of the family members who add to the pressure or give a different perspective to the characters and the story.

It really depends on the rules of the world you’re writing in. In some novels, that blood can actually be the vector for the vampirism curse in your story. Their ‘healing’ from near death could be only the first step in their strange transformation to the undead. In others, that blood can be a paralytic or be extremely pleasurable. Most often, however, such ‘healing’ factors do have strings, and those are generally the point of the whole thing.

The storm is another main character in the play. The elements follow a merciless, wild and powerful character, beyond human control. This nature force separates the characters from each other and from the external world, increases the tension and changes the scenery in which the action unfolds. It is as unpredictable as it is powerful and, as such, it compares to the human characters in the play. This would make the list of characters Hannah, Bruce, Liza, Josh, Mako and Cricket, and the storm. The interaction between these 6 human characters and the natural elements creates a pressure cooker in which the technology of the characters fails and they are left without any comfort. In this most primal of states, their true characters are revealed.

The relationship between the alien Venon symbiote and it’s human host is one of the most compelling aspects of the comic book series, combining elements of horror, symbiosis, and even dark humor. When the alien bondes with a human it does not simply attach itself physically to its host. Rather it merges with the host on a cellular level to form a highly complex psychological connection between two beings. It is why in most of its hosts, especially Eddie Brock, the symbiote finds the greatest source of power in the host’s negative emotions such as anger, aggression, and even despair. The more the host’s emotions match those of the symbiote, the more powerful both the host and the alien become in a symbiotic relationship of mutual empowerment. What I find especially interesting about their pairing is the way that the relationship between them changes over time. Initially the symbiote would override Eddie’s will to do whatever it wanted to do but in later stories the two have formed a sort of co-dependent relationship. The two of them rely on each other for different reasons. Venom needs Eddie’s negative emotions in order to survive and in return he gives Eddie superhuman strength to exact revenge on the people who wronged him. They even refer to themselves in the plural and have at times acted as a single entity (something that even Eddie admits to at times). This sort of relationship is explored in a number of different stories and it really makes for a compelling read as it challenges the reader’s expectations of what it means to be a hero. The bond of Venom and his host is fascinating to consider. It is so much more complex than typical hero-villain tales and actually flips the typical script for possession and interactive. It is not so much Venom possessing his host and erasing their identity, but rather he enhances their already existing identity, for better or for worse. It is a negotiation for the both of them as they interact in a dynamic, positive or negative, for better or worse relationship that cannot be replicated by other comic book characters in the same manner.

This scene is so perfect. Aria's strategy for arguing, Kael's growling about scent, and Lysander's fiddling with the wires to get them out of the abandoned subway. It really highlights their unique abilities. The way their skills complement each other (Aria is the brains, Kael the brawn, and Lysander the tech) makes them an unstoppable team. I would love to see a game version of this where you can play as each of them and switch between them in the middle of a mission.

I wrote Kaelen as the heart of our trio. Aris is, without a doubt, the brain. And Lyra? Well, she is the sharp knife in the dark. The rest of our friends – Vorlan, Silas, Elara – are the environment in which the three of them exist. It is the society, the relationships that they have with each other, that gives the actions of the three above meaning. The heart. The brain. The knife. That is the core of our story and I have not spent nearly as much time developing the magic system as I have these three characters. They are the true engine of the book.

Lia is the main female protagonist of the book and two guys come to her village - Prince Rafe and Assassin Kaden. The two anonymous POV chapters before you know who is speaking (The Prince or The Assassin) were so cool. Reading the two guys before I knew which was which really drew me into their characters to figure out their motives without being misled by the title of the book and preconceived notions. The Prince, Rafe, is so confident. But also very curious and intrigueing. And The Assassin, Kaden, is very cold and detached but also very observant. It's a really clever device that makes both The Prince and The Assassin very interesting to read from the very beginning. Lia's support system is very fun too. Lia has three female friends - Pauline, Berdi and Gwyneth - that really add warmth and even humor to the story at times of high tension.

I tend to view the character of 'Venom' in relation to Spider-Man. At first the symbiote linked with Spider-Man to enhance his powers and grant him a far more aggressive appearance. But eventually the two had to be separated as it was deemed too detrimental to Spider-Man. Realizing he wasn’t good for the hero the symbiote went in search of a new host. Resulting in the miserable tale of Eddie Brock and his dealings as Venom. What I like most about their battles is that they delve into issues of revenge and identity crisis and therefore reflect in a nice way problems we face in our lives. As an anti-hero the character of Venom is flawed and tortured. At the core of Venom’s being is his struggle to come to terms with Spider-Man and his ongoing desire to destroy him. In comics, TV shows and films their complicated relationship makes for brilliant reading and viewing – it’s truly fantastic to witness their unfolding story.

For me, the dual protagonists were Elara and Kaelen. The way their initial enemies turned into enemies-turned-allies, and possibly even more than that, was at the heart of the story. Elara is a book-smart, naive dreamer who has no idea how to cope in the brutal politics of the dream world, while Kaelen is a cynical harden veteran, full of survivor’s guilt. It was really wonderful to see Elara slowly soften Kaelen up, and to see Kaelen slowly temper Elara’s ideals and help her to see reality. The dialogue between them was all wonderful, really – very, very sharp, with lots of subtext, and I could really see their relationship grow by brick, slowly but painfully. The rest of the cast of characters played around the edges of the two, and really, the story lived and died on the readership of these two characters. I fully believed in them both.

Freya. That is where I see the center of this book. The title may have Raynor’s name on it (literally), but it’s Freya’s journey that gives us the emotional core of this novel. We watch her try to hold together her family when everything about her life is crumbling and she’s desperate to hang on to who she is. Her art becomes a lifeline for her. We experience Raynor largely through Freya’s tired, loving and often resentful eyes. The children too are experienced through Freya’s anxious and wary maternal state. We even experience Ilya through Freya’s eyes and it is through her sense of security and possibility that we come to terms with his impact on her. It’s really an ensemble novel and if any character’s journey was to define the journey of the novel as a whole, then it would be Freya’s. Her quiet strength in the midst of all this chaos is what makes this novel so sad and compelling.
