- Abstract
This research analyzed the complexities of human characters as represented through RPG games. As a case this research used an RPG game entitled Devil May Cry. In specific the data were taken from two main characters in the game, Dante and Vergil, who were identical twins. Both characters were antagonists in this game, which were interesting to note, as these were main attractions to the game. Psychoanalysis was applied to identify the mental retardation of psychopaths and other traits dominating the course of the game. Using the Psychoanalysis theory of Sigmund Freud, Defense Mechanism of Anna Freud and also the Psychopath theory of Benjamin Karpman and Hare complexities of the characters could be revealed. It was found that despite being identical twins, both characters had very different behaviours. It was also found that each character had different ways of life and different ways to interact with the environment around them. In addition, it was revealed that information obtained from the game community confirmed the fixation to this game was due to the complex manners and traits portrayed in the two characters. It was concluded that RPG game offered complex portrayal of human behaviour, taking form in the characters, which channelled out players imaginary perceptions of human relations with environment and others.
