Talk:How edgy is your OC?/@comment-4029377-20170804101403

I wouldn't count a grimdark universe as edgy. Not when stories like 1984 and Animal Farm by H.G.Wells, Fahrenheit 451, Dune by Frank Herbert,Food of the Gods by H.G Wells, and of course Warhammer 40,000 as well as Star Wars has influenced my works. Oh, and WW1 and 2. I think the difference is said universe would have to be filled with amorality, constant conflict, and dystonian themes that shapes said characters, rather than they trying to be 'special' and 'hip' for the sake of sticking out among the crowd.

If anything I would count my own universe as a mixture of history with a combination of Marvel and DC comics. To call it 'edgy' would be a misunderstanding of my intent, I intended to make a mature and adult themed series from the start. Is it 'edgy' for breaking the bounds of the fandom? Yes, however I do so because I honestly feel the fandom is in denial with happy go lucky themes and I made my series to suit an adult audience, (not that happy go lucky cannot be cherished by an adult mind you. It's just I prefer dark and semi-serious undertones mixed with dark and dry humor.)

So it would be very subjective on what you would consider edgy to classify any of my characters. They break the boundaries, but their intent isn't to necessarily be what you would say as the meme'd version of edgy. I would say more like I try to do my own thing with my own spin, and this often means adding faux historical undertones, and comicbook fanboyism. I simply mean to appeal to a different type of story, the kind of semi-dark plot that made me a fan of the old Archie Sonic lore.

Oh, and no. I'm not adding Grief into this. Just because he looks like a rock and roll reject doesn't mean he is an edgy character. In fact in the past his voice actor was to be Jack Black, and Grief was literally a COD kid parody that evolved. To call Grief edgy is to call Spaceballs edgy. XD
