Read through most of the OOC, looking for what I call Xo Insights. Basically extra information that clarifies things. Very, very interesting. ^^
And y'all so funny, too.
@xodus where art thou? I've made a barebones CS to give the general gist of what I'm going for. Would like to show you and Ryver it before I progress too far and wind up having to change things due to things I didn't know >.<
But here's a teaser for the rest of you:
A black gal known as
Smokini (a reference to Houdini), and yes, her alch-spec is
smoke. She's a Hybrid. And her "unofficial" partner is a stoic Korean man named
Malthier Deatreubenni. A Sniffer and very good at disguises. His alch-spec is
Thread alchemy (you know, like strings) and while he ain't no Silencer, it has uses both in combat and outside.
One nugget from their bio is that they were both put through the linking process but it started to fail for some reason, off and on. And then finally it just stayed
off. I know Unlinkeds are sent on solo missions, but the idea is that AMRO regards them as an experimental study, and so they keep sending them/will send them on missions that might kill them (being a "liability" and all) or it might jump-start their linkage so they can finally be actual Asylum and provide information for future cases that encounter this problem.
Either way, it's a win-win for the Director. ;)
But yes, I'm just toying with the idea. I don't know if this link-breaking phenomena goes against canon or undisclosed plot material. I'm certainly not married to it. I am prepared to play the dirge. I just think it would pit them mercilessly in middle of the huge discriminatory war I sense brewing between Asylums and Unlinkeds, and would shine an interesting light on everything to make people question what they believe about that hot topic.
