3.I'm still working on it
4.It just is.Besides, they aren't any white symbiotes so I decided to use that color for herYour right but I would like other people's suggesstions/opinions too for help.
I did see the scans. Very cool. 🙂
However, I didn't mean "background" as in racial background or anything. I mean, really, who is she? That's what you need to ask yourself. Where did she grow up? Was she rich? Poor? Did she have loving and caring parents? Were her parents killed, or maybe they died when she was young?
Questions like that. To be a successful writer, and to create a successful character, you really need to focus on fleshing them out, giving them life.
I like the motivation. So the symbiote has one main goal, above all others: survival. And to survive, it feels that the other symbiotes are threats to its well-being. It feels the others are "invading its territory," forcing its hand to go after them.
I think you could go somewhere with the white thing. Something symbolic. If you go the path I'm suggesting (the symbiote looking after its own life; it feels threatened by the other symbiotes invading its territory), in a way, the white could represent the symbiotes relative "innocence," since it's simply trying to stay alive. However, as everyone knows, looks are deceiving, and truly deep down, the symbiote is indeed a killer.
These are all ideas on my part. Best advice I can give you is to breath as much life as you can into the character. In short: Make her real.
