Thinking about if Reala’s design and personality were partially inspired by heels in wrestling 🤔

He is an actual villain unlike heels but I know it’s a pretty common fan theory that before NiGHTS rebelled, they would take the “friendlier” role while collecting Ideya, befriending the visitors and helping them regain their Ideya, and then Reala comes in and Gets Them™, so he portrays a villain within their specific Ideya-collecting act (and I guess NiGHTS kind of does too once the overall plan is revealed but yk)

I was wondering why he was designed with muscles- it’s probably just to better distinguish him from NiGHTS’ daintier and more elegant design and establish him as an antagonist but I feel like he does that well enough even without muscles, so I thought this could be a cool explanation idk

#i guess i’ve never really seen muscles as an “evil” trait so they’ve always seemed kind of random on reala imo.. buff clown #i guess in canon he could just shapeshift to have them (or not have them) but i’ve always hc’d them as something wizeman designed him with #and i like the idea of him eventually coming to question and struggle with why he had to be the “scary one” in his and nights’ usual scheme #he likes how he looks and he can technically just change it but he doesn’t like how other people think of his appearance #nights scares based on actions and can control that while reala scares based on appearance and so he can’t like. turn that off #and he knows it still happens even after wizeman is gone :(#anyway i finished my paper so i can Talk About The Characters.. i should’ve prob put the hc stuff in a separate post #long post #also long tags shsjsn #ok one more: reala’s like “sometimes i wish i looked more like you” and nights just tells him “but who will open jars for me then :(”#nights into dreams #tagging this.. people need to Know #reala
