Mordenheim Redux Redux
Hello folks. I am in a bit of a pickle.
You can probably tell that this all stems from the re-imagined Dr. Victor/Victra Mordenheim. You see, I'm not much a fan of demographic shifts but I am for representation. I try to make the 5e revamps of classic characters into chronological sequels of their older edition counterparts. Vlad Drakov, for example, has a ton of wives, lovers, concubines and victims from which a veritable army of bastards has sprung. My revamp of WotC's revamp in that case is Vladeska being his bastard daughter who has maimed, killed, burned and coerced enough of her competitors to wind up as Vlad's regent as he has slipped into true old age, infirmity and senility. This way all the events of old Ravenloft materials involving Falkovnia have happened and Zombie Survival demiplane of dread is just the most recent events.
Victor/Viktra is harder. I very much wish that WotC had just decided to make is to that Elise was the mad doctor instead of Victor but that is off of the table now that Viktra exists in the canon. Viktra also cannot be Eva. Inspiration came to me, funnily enough, from an episode of that Castlevania show.
A Rebis. An Alchemically perfect human that is both male and female. I'm not a student on alchemy from the middle ages but the idea that Victor has bypassed the Dark Powers' restrictions on reviving his beloved by literally becoming one with her is an appealing one. This way, both Victor's backstory and Viktra can coexist. Elise was, let's just say, not perfectly open to the procedure once the pieces of her became aware of what has happened to her. Viktra is slightly mad from this incompatibility. She is all of Victor's grief and anger, all of Elise's horror and simultaneous understanding of her husband's actions. Viktra is just as haunted as any of those who are parts of her. She also has a twisted sibling dynamic with Adam as opposed to the twisted parent/child dynamic.
I thought it was a neat little idea that came from an unlikely source. It also doubled as even more specific representation because in this case Viktra is not women's representation but intersex representation! This is where the problem arises. I have know way of telling if what I have created here is good representation. I'm trying to figure out a way to express that Viktra's occasional revulsion at her own existence is the result of her female half's discomfort at the non-consensual nature of the procedure rather than the fact that she is Intersex.
Is there anyone closer to the subject or more well versed in advocacy that can help me tread the line and make this interpretation of the character a sensitive portrayal of its subject matter?
