This was hard. I think that it's probably on account of the fact that so many of my planned NPCs haven't really come about yet.
To see them emerge would be a great boon to my ability to tie down a specific theme to each character. Each one is related but most have their own basic concept that drives their leg of the plot. In effect Virara is more like a catalyst than a central character, or so I'd like it.
Probably the most important theme is Determinism. Most of the characters in my story line for one reason or for another came to feel that they were always meant to be what they are. In a sense they are actors given roles by the world itself. That might or might not be a lie. More important than the distinction of whether it's true or not is whether they should allow it to determine the path of life they chose or whether they should struggle against it even if it's futile. If a person is born with an innate brilliance, a unique talent that shines above everyone else, is it the duty of others to polish that aptitude regardless of that individual's will? And if a talent is innately inimical to the happiness of others, is the world itself twisted for giving birth to a person who only possesses that talent?
Other themes I like a lot and would love to pursue are self deception and denial. People who lost their purpose in life trying to pretend they're still needed. Or people who want to rework the world around them so they can remain relevant.
