Kinds of Conflict
Elara's character arc is centered on not becoming her father. Her father was the previous Baron of their country, a man who thrived on power and the fear of his opponents in war. As the new Baroness, Elara strives to avoid war as much as she can, driven by the fear of following in her father’s footsteps. This is an insecurity many people share, myself included, and it's something I’ve struggled with personally.
In an alternate Earth, where war is played as a board game, an emerging leader and a soldier navigate the brutal reality of new harsh rules, discovering the devastating consequences of their decisions.

Early Notes of KOC
Before writing this script, I had a dream in 2023 where world leaders waged wars like a board game in a single room. A year later, I revisited the idea and began crafting a world with its own set of unique rules and characters. These characters were inspired by a blend of fictional figures and the real personalities of people in my life—most notably, the relationship between me and my mother.
