Ideas that go unused PT3: Levi

I've finally decided to put all, if not most, of my past concepts for Levi's character in a blog.
In his very first incarnation back in the novel "Fallen Angel-Child", he was to be the villain with a gray scale ambition and a dark intent to do it.
Originally, he kidnapped the princess of Phoenixia in order to steal her blood to make him a super human. Yep, it's that close to what Rising Seas was. Considering FA-C was my source material for RS, it shouldn't be a wonder how it ended like that.
Here's where it gets a bit different. Levi's intention was to use the power he had to revive his parents who were killed in some way I never really really wrote. Keep in mind, Sinclair had killed Levi's parents in the RS cannon (regardless if I mentioned it in the novel, it may be mentioned in the unused Dead Phoenix). In this arc, I don't ever recall plotting out who killed Levi's parents.
He was to revive his parents. To me, that's a gray goal with a bit of black actions marring a white intent.
At the point where the heroes (Vladimir, Locke, Roland, Ishmael, Caitlynn, and Ajatar) would first try to get the jump on Levi by exploiting his madness. Vladimir would dress in a disheveled cloak and pose as Levi's father. Then I decided that the act was unbecoming of heroes, just and true.
Skipping ahead a little, the heroes would defeat Levi and leave his broken body in the tower. While he would revive due to the Phoenixian blood in his body, he would also team up with the Manticorans and use technology to enhance his body. Ultimately, he'd become Mecha-Levi like some of the Japanese anime villains revive as at one point.

After that... Honestly, I never had much of a plan after that. I'm sure Levi would have died again to Vladimir and etc etc.

I hope this gives a little more insight into Levi's character.

As always, thanks for reading and I'll see you around!
