Thank you.
I'd like to clarify why the protagonist is so "blank book".
A general protagonist, without much of a past, is easier to relate to, to walk his shoes, as he progresses in the story.
You'd note that in the New Hope, the first SW movie we got, Luke Skywalker is just like that. All we know about him is that he grew up in Tatooine, farming all his life, and he desired something bigger for his life, and that's the path we follow through all the 3 movies. Han Solo, Leia, Obi-Wan, Vader, all have more developed pasts, as explained in the movies and also in the plectoria of books, comics, etc. There isn't much about Luke, besides he being a farm boy all his life before meeting Ben Kenobi.
That's where I aimed with Kaylan.
I understand Mortze, thanks for your clarification.
As you said, Luke was a farmer on Tatooine, he lived a tedious life, but an easy one. We all can imagine how he spent his youth years, listening to his uncle and aunt, attending his duties in the farm and living an unsatisfing but protected existance in his family nest.
Kaylan, instead, fled from the orphanage, wondered, starved, survived. Each minute of his life was fought for, every word he said comes from pain and loss. If Luke's past is empty, that's because he didn't have one; while Kaylan might hate his past, but he lived and fought for each second of it, he well earned his present.
I perfectly understand what you aimed for, an unnamed protagonist makes it easier for a player to take the lead of him, this would fit perfectly if the protagonist was a clone, but Kaylan... Kaylan is everything but void, he's undoubtedly the deepest male character I've found in such games, he has so much to say, and you can feel it, you can feel it throughout the game, but there's no past to make you understand him.
To me, there's a contrast between the wise words he displays and the emptyness of his past. Wisdom comes with experience, and Kaylan, striving for survival, lived a thousand of Luke's lives.
In my honest opinion, this is the only mistake you made in this exceptional work of yours.
