#they even look similar

greetings, lads, may i present you with something…

Archetype: A rich, middle-aged man is dissatisfied with simple life and embarks on what he calls an aventure, only to soon discover that said adventure is not at all what he expected and find himself unprepared for the true horrors of reality. However, he ends up reaching success and satisfaction for a brief time, due to the help of a well-traveled man with anger issues but an emerging soft side, who is also a famous and important figurehead— yet due to various circumstances, they are ultimately separated. 

Archetype: A man who is significantly more youthful than those he keeps in close company takes up the role of being the designated book-smart person and artist, recording the actions of another man whose goal is to make an impact on the world. While his full origins and backstory are unclear, he is obviously well-learned and desires to further understand the world by travelling with his aforementioned companion, even though his outward appearances are not suited to life on the road. And also, he is flamboyantly gay and overdramatic.
