Keeping on

The last idea was ad hoc based on one drawing that inspired a character then building a world around it. This time its inspired by Peru. It has a villainous empire, twisted colonial governors, sadistic conquistadores, an aristocratic female revolutionary and her survivalist cousin who suffered even harder and a race traitor working for the Spanish. It could be in Spain, or in space or something: but it looks like Spain and Peru.

When He Smiles: According to Amber, he has the most beautiful smile.
The Ace: Widely considered the most skilled warrior
Badass Family:

The Hooker (Hereditary Inca Princess)

A native aristocratic girl who was after the conquest raped by several Spanish at the age of nine and punched in the stomach when pregnant. After this traumatic series of incidents she escaped at the age of ten and hid her past, living by cunning and prostitution. At the start of the story she has attracted two male sidekicks, a native street urchin and more reluctantly on her part, a Spanish runaway. When her old rival appears again they are immediately hostile because of her old jealousy although her rival seeks ultimately to recruit her as her second in command. At first she even plans to lead the Spaniards to her rival, who succeeds only after she breaks down crying about what the invaders did, that she never told anyone else.

A dictatorial man and former conquistador with an extreme sense of Christian morality and severe ruthlessness, who disciplined his troops by killing all rapists and the like under his commans. Men flock to him despite his fanaticism for his morality and efficiency in detroying racism and crime. Though he cares only for glory his means is to eradicate all ethnic tensions under his rule by eradicating all, native or Spanish, who disagree with his aims. He is an excellent leader however, getting everyone under himself to focus on their qualities.

Big Good: The original Band of the Hawk saw him as their caring and benevolent leader, which isn't entirely wrong; as while he may have used underhanded methods to advance himself, he also allowed each of his subordinates to attain higher social standing and privilege while also genuinely being a kind and courteous leader.

Kick the Son of a Bitch: Does this to the Midland nobles who cross his path. Although he does it for selfish reasons, he comes off as something of a hero simply because said nobles were... not the nicest people.
Knight in Shining Armor: Fits this perfectly during the Golden Age arc, making for a nice, juicy Deconstruction.
Lack of Empathy: Griffith claims that he feels no remorse about having sacrificed his followers, even after going to the hill of swords to see if he would feel anything.
Like a God to Me: The typical first impression that people get upon seeing Griffith for the first time is that he's like a saint or hero who stepped out of an artwork.
