Just like DVD commentaries, you guys get to hear me talk about the characters and what went into their development.

Hunter was the 2nd Character I created for this story (The first character is going to show up in chapter 3).

He's my ideal of what the future of LGBT movement will evolve into; he is a cross between Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

Imagine if one day, a gay teenager invents a massively popular App, then he uses his success and keeps inventing until he becomes a real force in society. I put in him some amazing qualities: Intelligence, a deep sense of Justice and Fairness, and compassion.

However, all characters have flaws, or else, they would be too ideal. Hunter's flaws at the start are that he has never known real defeat. His life has been a Gay fairy tale; he met intellectual equal in his Boyfriend Ryan, he has a successful business that is rivaling some of the largest App developers in the country, and he is still young and idealistic.

When Ryan commits suicide, he commits himself fully to uncovering the truth and going after whoever had a hand in Ryan's death. He's an avenging angel, or Batman if you like

Justice however in the real world is far more complex than he really knows.

Other flaws, he's afraid of attachment, but needs friendship and companionship desperately. Without Ryan, he hungers for that missing part of him that he has been accustomed to have. That weakens him a great deal, but it also in the end tuns out to be his greatest strength, because in a war of information, you cannot always know your allies, so trusted friends are desperately needed.

Another flaw, he is psychologically still in somewhat precarious place. I always thought Frank Miller did a great job on Batman and his psyche, which Bruce Timm explored and Conway conveyed perfectly in DCAU cartoons as well. A human hero even with all the resources in the world is still human and still under pressure of mental strains. Another lost of someone close to him would throw his entire quest for justice into question. (There's a great Batman TAS episode "I am the Night" that explores this , when Jim gordon is shot and Batman loses hope in the fight for Justice).

I am drawing some parallels between him and John Sheridan from Babylon 5, which only James Savvik has seen so I am pretty good bout avoiding generic spoilers (The Vorlons are not nice either James can guess that meaning in the story context if he reads it )

This character is meant to embody the best of us as a community and as human beings; I prefer characters that are self-conscious and knows the weight of the world is on their shoulders.
