Story Beat: mastering the new world, false victory, the goal achieved
Whereas the previous beat represents a phase of improvisation and adaptation, by the midpoint of the story our protagonist is beginning to feel more competent and in charge of the situation. They've finally figured things out.
They've become so competent, in fact, that they're able to resolve the original goal that brought them here - and yet, with that goal achieved we're only at the midpoint of the story.
What gives?
Characterization - Ruthless Idealist
This hurts me more than it hurts you.
Aggressive, domineering, and in charge, World is fond of saying single words authoritatively:
Focused. Intense. Proud. Stoic. Authoritarian. Unyielding. Ironclad.
They are idealistic, driven, and trying to make the world a better place - perhaps they started as a starry-eyed dreamer like Kiro. Unlike Kiro, they are ruthless. Willing to accomplish their goals at any cost may make them the villain, but it works.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and these characters are often lonely and isolated.
The world won't just become a better place on its own: it must be forced.
