Week 112! (Patreon)

Alright, for the second update, I wanna state that I have written down very definitively the motivations behind the arguable "villains" of FH, the 'Conspiracy' that apparently created Kale/Fox Kale.

Again, these are things that I had floating around in my head to various extents, but never anything absolutely definitive. We've already seen some of their motivations, such as Hugo flatly stating how much he hates what humanity has become and that's why he wants to so badly 'erase' Fox Kale from Kale's mind, but some of their motivations are still unclear. The aforementioned Hugo is probably the most blatant and stated at this point, with Max probably the runner-up considering some hints in Arcs 5 and 9. 

But there's a whooole lot more to Max than just what he said in those arcs, and there's also the fact that Cyrus, Kale's adopted father, is also at least aware of things to some extent, if not outright involved. And this doesn't even take into account Conspiracy members we haven't even seen yet!

These are all things that will come up in the course of the comic, and my main hope and goal in establishing these character motivations for the 'villains' is multiple. A) I want these characters to be actual characters, with genuine reasons for the actions they've taken and will take; B) I want their motivations to tie into the overall plot and world as it stood, as it stands now, and as it will stand in the future; and C) I want them to present a wide variance in the multiple angles and perspectives one can have about the entire Kale issue, about whether it's ethical and moral to do the things they're doing and did do to Kale. 

I'm pretty sure I've made it clear in past updates that my hope is that I can give villains that are sympathetic and understandable, and to present both sides of a genuine argument that can be debated and decided by you, the audience, as individually and fairly as possible. I don't want this story and the questions within to be this black and white good vs. evil thing, but something genuinely ambiguous and open-ended for you to decide on.
