Protagonist drabble

Seems like it's about time to post some stuff that we have. I'll start with the protagonist.

Our VN is told from the viewpoint of Kristian, an incoming 11th grader who has to deal with the fact that his current girlfriend Sammy, is moving away to attend the college of her dreams. Though he seems caring and dependable on the outside, his true personality reveals a needy, emotionally dependent child who often wishes that he had someone to support and console him from his troubles. Though he is willing to go to great lengths to help others, his true thoughts have a sense of cynicism and resentment. Perhaps he needs to grow up, and learn that society has no room for whiners, and that perhaps he isn't the only one with problems. While dealing with the reality of his longtime girlfriend moving, he also becomes aware of the cracks in her facade, and that perhaps his vision of her is a little big too perfect. Our protagonist has a lot on his plate - from dealing with his new realizations about his old relationship to the complications that arise accommodating others almost constantly.

Whether the player decides attempt to preserve Kristian's relationship with Sammy or embark on a different path, Kristian's disillusionment with his previous relationship along with the lingering affection he still has plays a major role. Other side characters also provide information about other characters in the story, along with informing the player about certain traits of Kristian through their tone or speech towards him. One must remember that even if Kristian goes onto a different path, his old relationship will still play a major role.

Through the story, expect Kristian to change, and most likely mature from that needy child into a person who accepts the fact that he/she must stand on his/her own legs. Though he his mentality may resemble one with a messiah complex, he'll probably learn that relationships are truly delicate, and unlike in the movies, he can't simply sweep girls off their feet with acts of macho or forcefully trying to help them. It is necessary to note that a VN isn't necessarly only about the other characters, but also encompass the main protagonist, and thus it is important to develop them with a believable background.

One thing about this protagonist that I am worried about is the act of balancing between a boring, mundane character to an unlikable, angsty whinny character. Though his strife is important, it shouldn't completely overshadow his witty, more mellow comedic monologues.
