YMMV / A Distant Soil

• Author Appeal: Doran likes rapunzel hair and crystals.
• Complete Monster:
  • Sere is a member of the Ovanan Hierarchy who delights in how they manipulate the avatar into destroying worlds and murdering "unfit" children. Having tortured the young Avatar Seren as a child, Sere also molested him frequently. A serial pedophile, Sere tortures and possibly rapes the young hero Jason, also revealing she poaches young children from the Ovanan nurseries to molest. A remorseless sadist, Sere also wipes out most of a household when they deny her a chance to see Seren and enjoys the potential of torturing any member of the resistance she gets her hands on.
  • Sere's ally in evil, Prince Emeris, is a late addition to the Hierarchy, but matches his counterpart for evil. A war criminal who used illegal weapons to poison a race to force their prince, D'mer, to become his slave, Emeris is well known for abusing and raping said slaves, enjoying the way he can use pain to force others to submit to his will. Raping Seren when Seren is removed from power, Emeris also tortures him while plotting to obtain D'mer again. Eager to continue the brutal crusades of the Ovanan, Emeris repeatedly shows his own loyalty is to his own pleasures and cruelties.
• Heartwarming Moments: D'mer and Liana finally becoming friends, and D'mer's reaction to finding out that Jorvana intended to kill Liana.
  D'mer: I'm glad I fried the homely bitch.
