I hate to be the one to disagree with you about your own character's ideals, Xana, but from what I can tell, what with his whole judge, jury, and executioner shtick and willingness to let Blanks kill whoever he deems evil or unproductive, I'd say that he's much closer to Light post "I will become god of the new world." Light's whole justification, after all, was that he thought it was his duty to rid society of its evils, dirtying his hands for the sake of creating a peaceful world. Yet he, like Salvantas (as far as I can tell) completely ignored the fact that if he succeeded in creating such a world, the only evil thing left would be him.


Actually about halfway through Light stopped caring about just making a perfect world. If that all he really cared about was that he would have ignored L and continued doing his thing as Light and just kill criminals until the entire world believed there was some angel of death ready to punish every bad guys and L wouldn't have been able to do half as much. Salvantas doesn't want fame, or recognition, as proven by him giving the contract and idea of the United Guild Alliance to Anji. He increases Heroes Unlimited reputation but doesn't accept any praise himself. And yes while he may allow Blank to do what is needed he only strikes those who would continue to cause problems.

As to the plot going on, technically, it already happened in the past. it is just a flashback arc. However, The "Princeling Returns" plot is going on real time, so go ahead and prepare to get involved with that.

I know it probably wasn't real, but deserts are deserts, and there are legends about stuff everywhere ;) And does it need to be the same desert? :P

And I didn't mean Mimsy's plot, I mean the plot which involves everyone, the personal plots and whatever others might be. Since I'm not caught up, I'm still not sure what's up with the Prince's Guardian and the Princess and whatever, nor with vampire killers or killing groups :?

Well, the flashback arc does/will involve plenty of people, but there is currently a meeting and stuff being called by the dude from Pix and Eli's first quest. A bunch of people are showing up, Kurt, Seire, Julius, and Legias included. Catch up, it's not going anywhere super fast yet.

If possible (though I guess if people want to move forward with this in the next couple days, it won't be), I'd like Ben to accompany Hector on behalf of the Severed Claws to Adam's meeting. I have a feeling she might want to contribute some thoughts. :)

Adam is the "Princeling" from eli and Pixie's first quest, and this is presumably the meeting that he decided to call in this sidestory.

Oh yeah, that's also that sidestory with Adell I wanted to make.

On another subject: oh, oh, guys, can I ask your backstories (since they are all connected) to connect with mine? More specifically, a NPC of mine?

Come to one of us with a concise idea of what you were planning, and then we'll be able to help you.

The second part? Well, I don't have much of a defined bakstory for Morionem, because I kind of wanted him to be a generic dumb guy, but I was thinking his father could be a famous badass warrior who used to travel a lot and nobles liked him, but he didn't give a shit about money so he and his family lived with little, but enough, even though he used to get a good amount of money. Maybe even they lived close to a castle, but Morionem was only friend with the son of the janitor and other not rich people.

He taught Morionem the basics of swordfighting... And that's all. Just the basics, so he could defend himself. Maybe he died before he could teach more, or neber bothered, or didn't use sword as his main weapon and thus wasn't that good or something. Nothing too defined, I want to be flexible? I think?

I don't really think many of our backstories connect. I mean Salvantas has been around the block looking for his targets so if you wanted to say they knew each other I would be a okay with that, so long as I knew first.

Speaking of which I just realized a plothole in my first mission. How did she know about Blank. That isn't the kind of info Salvantas goes out giving.

I've been trying to reconcile that for a couple of months, actually. Do you want to collab on a side story that'll explain it, or do you you just want me to fix the original?

Well if you wanted to fix it that would be best. I can't really think of anyway your character would learn about it that wouldn't screw other things up down the road.

I wasn't speaking about specifically, actually you are one that could blend in mine the least. Royal related characters, like Pixel's, Ben or Tamar could. I think.

:| Ben doesn't know a lot of noble people outside her own (very extended) family. She's kind of antisocial in situations where she'd have to stand on ceremony. So I can't see her knowing your guy. (Also the age difference is a thing.)

I know Pix and I talked about having our characters meeting before the castle but I don't know that we ever came to a final decision on that.

I'm impressed, Eli. An entire kidnapping storyline in one go and the kidnap victim in question didn't say a word :P

Well, kidnapping victims generally don't manage to get a word in edgewise, especially when the story's focus is more on the person on the outside than on the abductors. (For all we know, Zi was chatting with Luca and Asha like nobody's business, but just not when Anji was in earshot!)

She was speaking, she was just repeating every word Asha was saying >:3

He isn't a noble, just a hero-like warrior guy who has gotten famous, or at least well known.

Tamar wasn't taught anything of value except for what he learned himself, and his knowledge of most things came from books also his society was a bit screwed up :P

So I've been doodling again. Clockwise, Ben, Anjali as I think she'll look in about ten years, Tamar aaaand Hector looking oddly depressed.

Actually I was thinking of having him using a hammer; And he doesn't need to not be a noble, I'm going for having an extremist good-doer: donates most money and literally fights evil. I'm not very knowledgeable on Karl Marx's backstory, but I heard his family died poor because of his beliefs (in this case, I apply this to sharing wealth). Oh, maybe he could've been a guard for some army force once (the only one I can think of right now is one Pixel's character-ish) and got out of it to fight evil by himself.

If everything fails, I'll just make Morionem from Southern Hemisphere Asia-ish :P I kind like thinking he got pulled from a place as far as hell, and the Asia part came to me these days, but I don't know that much of Eastern Culture as much as I'd want to, so I'm unsure. Also it just came to me because I wanted to make Morionem Budhist, but again, I lack knowledge.

I'd start to research by Wikipedia, which isn't to be trusted all times. I'd be unsure if my other sources were to be trusted, but if I do roll with any of this I'll make sure I research -.-'

Now then a few things

Heros Unlimited Dark Side Outfits: Each member of Heroes Unlimited DS will always be found wearing long black overcoats with hoods that completely cover their faces along with black masks under them with two slits for eye holes. They each carry around different weapons, but nothing that they couldn't easily run with or escape from a crowd with.

Heroes Unlimited Light Side Outfits: Members of Heroes Unlimited LS are mostly seen wearing white. Each also carries an official badge on them to let people know they are active guild members. The badges are connected to their life forces and if one of them dies or the badge exits a mile radius of the member it will combust.

Heroes Unlimited Members now open for Side Stories: If you would like to include Heroes Unlimited members in your side stories they are free game. With a few rules of course

Light Side Rules
1. Will not kill
2. They will act kind and act as general nice guys
3. They will freely talk about just about anything to do with Heroes Unlimited unless it has to do with where they keep their money or weapons
4. They can be found walking around the city at night and day, patrolling for criminals and general assisting the neighborhood in anyway. They can be found breaking up fights or picking up trash.

Dark Sid Rules
1. They will kill criminals. But only if they have killed or done something really bad (they won't kill a picket pocket, but they will scare the crap out of them). They will not assault innocents.
2. Whole range of guys. Some might be super nice and other might be super scary.
3. They have been ordered to assist anyone in trouble, so if a guild member is attacked and they see it they will step in and use full force to assist, even if it means their own death or maiming. They will then escape into the dark.
4. They will do anything to escape capture. Up to and including losing a limb and killing themselves.


Anyway if you want them in a story to do something like give information, assist in a fight, or trying to tail them because you noticed someone following you then feel free. If you want to make one more personal or kill them please contact me first.
