less people, but we probably can't do that because they've devoted too much time already. And no offense to andion but if it's a separate story line from the main storyline which I assume is the whole dynamic between ephlias/ lich and the heroes then I don't see the significance if they don't pertain to us. Our characters won't get that information/ they don't have any way or connection to that, so they wouldn't have a reason to care what your guy is doing.
With the last rp there was a clear goal, one goal. everything else was secondary.
Here, it feels like a damn jackson pollock painting. There is stuff happening between lich/ eliphas, there are things happening between eliphas and the heroes and there are things happening between the lich/eliphas and aldions character I assume. each group is going to pay attention to the posts that concern only them because they won't have time to read all the other ones. Or I should say, I don't have time to read all of what's going on. And the big question that im asking here is why should I care?
The point of Valken is that he is that other side, He's the demon side and he's supposed to see why he should fight for good despite his demonic nature. If the heroes can get ONE demon to help their cause then their cause is truly just in the eyes of every living being, not just the humans/angels/dwarfs/elves/etc. etc. etc. Because a story about good versus evil has been done since the dawn of the human consciousness.
Villains that are villains because they're villains is easy to do. They do things because they are bad and once they are vanquished, no one cares.
But a real Villain has reasons to go against the hero, maybe even better reasons. A good villain makes you feel sorry for them even if you hate their guts.
I guess what im trying to say is that there is a story to both sides and I try to make Valken a dynamic and deep bad person.
And im not saying that I feel less important. Im saying that I don't have interest, I have nothing to go off of. I am merely being lead by the leash through a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes that I can't break down or tell what in christ im looking at.
