#project reboot

His relationship with Zarkon: Lotor's daddy's issues are other aspect that affect a lot his character. I would not just keep but turn it more problematic. Clearly VLD Zarkon and Lotor hated each other, but I think would be more realistic give more duality to this unbalanced relationship. Of course, Zarkon personally would be very different form his VLD version, he would be more comical (talk more about him in another post), so in the same time he treat Lotor as a common soldier sometimes he play a sassy and paternal role, what get Lotor nerves. But deep down, even reboot Lotor declare he is indifferent for his father, he still have mixed feelings about this man (in this version he truly  raised Lotor), like there were two people inside him. In some point of the story Zarkon be consumed by mental ill, insanity and incapacity, and Lotor is the only person he can have a coherent dialog. So, I would work something kinda of angst, complicated and comical.

Something broken as Ice King and Marcy.

His relationship with his mom: In my version his mom continue be Honerva, the scientist. So, before she give birth to him, Honerva run away from the Empire and was disappeared. Lotor spend his early years with her in some desert planet help her with a Project that she never fully clarify to him, he ignored the fact the Galra Emperor was his dad and all he needed to know, second her mom, was that they are hiding from him. So he was naively glad with his hole as mirim assistant until the day she dies and he is rescued (taken) by Zarkon (I am gonna write this full story in a close future). 

I loved the idea of let Haggar and his mom be the same person and I would like to play with this possibility. So, after a time, this weird Altean (I will keep her sinister aspect)  just appears in the Honerva Lab. No one know how she got there or how can have some altean alive after the explosion of the planet, in this time increase the theory about an errant altean ship with survivors that Alfor hides his child. By anyway, no one bother with Haggar presence since the is very useful, quiet and avoid any type of company (and she is so indifferent that even Zarkon have to bear her unfriendly mood). During a long time in the narrative everyone, including herself, will believe she might be a close of Honerva, but be prepare for a pilot twist. 

And this time she and Lotor will a super dramatic encounter when everything were revealed. 

His relationship with the Empire (elite and people)

Was working on a character’s design reboot today. This is just a design variation of many in the works, however, this was the only one I bothered to paint up a little.

His name is Random--and his original colors remain consistent to those he had almost ten years ago now, although he’s undergoing a complete redesign.

His personality, perspective, species, artwork, history, capabilities, and physical appearance are being entirely overhauled for thorough revival, and his companions from the past will also be dealing with some character refurbishing. :)

Reboot, the dystopian thriller by Amy Tintera, hits shelves May 7. But check out the exclusive trailer of Tintera’s YA debut today. Here’s a section...
