Character Profile 10: President Peter Dicks
This is 10th in a series of posts that will look at histories of recurring (or not) characters in my writing. It takes a look at my very newest recurring villain, President Peter Dicks.
President Peter Dicks is one of the antagonists in Dr. Lovedeath or: How I Was Made to Roll Up My Sleeve and Love the Jab. If any of the characters can be called that or protagonists in that story, which at its root is an emotional upwelling from the abject display of mental illness that was caused by the 'pandemic' and the deaths caused by the 'cure(s)', among other things. And the censorship. You know they shadow block this shit. At any rate, the characters are very real and I try to explore every angle in this piece of satire, much like I did in The Taming of the Pansy with those themes. Therefore, they're all characters, but who is who as far as pro or antagonist would depend largely on the reader. I'm just an observer as a writer goes, and the story is my account of how the pandemic felt and looked in a story.
On that note, President Peter Dicks is a loathsome, scandal ridden, dictator of a President who is under the control of...someone...but certainly not himself or the country, and has only one goal: to profit from the horse worm pandemic that has swept the world. His background is not explored and little attention is even paid to how he looks, because his actions matter, not his looks. He openly peddles CrookPharm's stock. He can't spell 'moral', much less give a definition. His hamster Winky, however, has millions spent on it so it can live another month. Or two.
He has few, if any, redeeming qualities and purposely uses people as pawns just as he is used by an unidentified puppet master, and happily goes along with both. Some people may be tempted to associate him with some of our own bad Presidents. You should. He's all of them along with all the other bad leaders that have ever existed. He isn't an 'everyman'. Peter Dicks is an 'everybadpolitician'.
He doesn't make many appearances in Dr. Lovedeath, but he's an omnipresent force that makes the story what it is. The followup to Dr. Lovedeath, Of Course You Know This Means War, coming 'sometime', will be the President's second appearance.
