>>56429852I'm not big on the "everything has to have symbolism" gimmick but a dynamic that could be interesting is that Alex's outfit starts out black and then gets more colors added on as it goes on, which shows that he's always been a "bad person", but it takes time to develop and become more complex. I think I like the white version of this more, however. It would be interesting to see Phos come across the true nature of him or someone like him. She always tries to see the best in people (cringe), but she'd just keep digging and digging to find that it's all avarice and violence all the way to the bottom, which should provide a powerful challenge to her worldview. Or at least it would, if he wasn't so damn good at hiding what he really is.
