Zev Harcourt
Zev's Plotter
POSTED ON Jun 23, 2022 17:47:31 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","zevplotter"] Zev Harcourt[break]
The inspiration for Zev came primarily from ALEJANDRO of the 2015 film SICARIO and DUNCAN VIZLA of the 2019 film POLAR. To a lesser extent, he is also influenced by JOHN WICK, AGENT 47, and—perhaps most unexpectedly—MILLIONS KNIVES from the manga TRIGUN MAXIMUM. All of these men display cold ruthlessness and brutal proficiency, yet almost all of them possess family-related motivations: to avenge, to protect, to rescue. Even those who don't act for the sake of family still have a desire to protect someone or something important. [break][break]
Zev's defining tropes are Moral Sociopathy and Pragmatic Villainy. It should be noted that he ticks the following boxes of sociopathy: (1) he feels no empathy for others, (2) lacks a conscience, (3) lies constantly, (4) cannot form deep emotional attachments, (5) has an insatiable need for mental stimulation, and (6) believes he can do no wrong. As a high-functioning sociopath, Zev is normally able to control his impulses well, but emotional downswings put him at risk of losing control. [break][break]
As the Avatar of Necrozma, Zev also embodies the Lovecraftian Superpower, Eldritch Transformation, and Cosmic Horror Reveal tropes. [break][break]
MOTIVATIONS[break]
CONTROL: As a sociopath, Zev naturally seeks to control the world around him to a high degree. While he's aware many things are outside of his grasp, those things over which he has direct influence—people, Pokémon, his career, etc.—are expected to obey him without question and abide by his standards. If he feels these standards are not being met, he will use whatever means necessary to provide correction. Any attempts to control him are met with violence. [break][break]
VENGEANCE: When granting Zev Avatarship, Necrozma recognized the similarities they shared, including the desire for revenge against those who have wronged them. As a result of their merging, Zev now bears the torch of his patron's agony and rage. He is highly motivated to "right the wrongs" performed against both himself and Necrozma, whether that was Caleb's betrayal or the existential torment suffered at the DRK Triad's hands. [break][break]
SELF-INTEREST: The ego of a sociopath causes Zev to act in his own self-interest much of the time. When he is not carrying out Necrozma's will, he does things entirely because he wants to do them. The inherent selfishness of humankind tethers him to mundane things, such as the pleasure he finds in murder or the delight he derives from his marriage. It allows him to retain his individuality when Necrozma would wholly consume him otherwise.
