Persistent Characters vs "One-and-Done" Characters

Generally, I feel creating new characters is better than having a pool and going 'Oh, I have a character that'll be a good fit in this canon!'

But when a character you've used before clicks, and especially if that canon then dies, you want to give them another shot. You'll enjoy giving them another shot. You'll be putting effort into them.

Life's dealing me some very bad cards lately but I'm still interested. Might take me a while to finish my CS though.

So they agreed on something after all. Though the means were almost exact opposites, their goal was the same, and they both believed it was not just a dream but something tangible that could be achieved. This just renewed her desire to try to get him to enrol in the Ashford Institute. Despite his twisted morality and his god complex, he did genuinely care about mutantkind. There was potential for good in him. Heidi wordlessly took his arm and the two of them floated down to the ground. Despite the danger that she was about to face, Heidi was calm. Even the hardest and most professional of mercenaries would hesitate and shooting a small unarmed fifteen year old girl, and even a single second of hesitation would be all Heidi would need. The danger of death was unlikely, but it was possible. She would take due care at all times.

The first decision was already among the pair. Did they break open the front door of the club, or sneak around the back and get in another way? Well, the front was likely guarded, as was probably the back, and the loading docks. But all clubs needed to comply with fire safety legalisation, and that meant that this building almost definitely had a fire escape. Nobody thinks to guard stairwell windows the same way they'd guard formal entrances. Heidi contemplated clearing a path to the front door so that when the classmates arrived, they would face no resistance, but the priority was Uná. Besides, the classmates all had far more danger room training that she had. They were no less equipped to deal with any threat than she was, at all.

Heidi gestured for Ayel to follow, as she skirted around the building until she found the fire escape, then she turned to him. "First of all, I won't be able to hear anybody behind us, so keep an eye out behind me. Second, we'll enter the club through one of the windows on this fire escape. There most likely won't be anybody waiting for us inside on the stairwell. Once we're in, I'll search down, you search up. That way, if our classmates arrive, I'll be in a better position to brief them. How does that plan sound?"

Seiko continued to revel in this scene. Would it be rude to take a picture? Yeah, that would probably be going too far. If he was in Persia's position, and somebody took a photo, there would be no corner of the school safe for them until they deleted it. Still funny, though. Lysander's mention of something important did intrigue him, though. Would it be relevant to the prank, or Amane's revenge, or would it be a sparring challenge? Or would it be something else? Lysander's crush on Seiko was not subtle, and it hadn't stopped when he had learned Seiko's true nature, which was surprising to the idol, to say the least. Did Seiko even swing that way? Could he reciprocate those feelings? Seiko, despite his lifestyle, was firmly cisgender, but his sexuality was something hadn't given quite as much thought too.

He could think about this later, however. Persia had gotten to her feet and was addressing him. There was something about her manner that made him think she wanted something. "Persia-chan!" he chimed in response, right as Persia chewed out Lysander for being overly familiar. Seiko shook his head as a comically large bead of sweat appeared on his face. Lysander was hopeless.

SAGA: Dragon Ball AU

I'm thinking of joining this with a beastman character. Gonna try and channel some of that classic campy Dragonball 'Tournament entree' vibe. Thinking up an inventive gimmicky technique for them (related to the beast they are) rather than just giving them five ki blasts/strikes. Something like Giran's merry-go-round gum, or General Blue's paralysis, but not those.

Chase Stein and a different version of the Runaways? Awesome! Now I'm genuinely debating whether to stick with Jessica or make an older Molly Hayes!

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

XIII is underrated and and X is a bit overrated, but I still prefer X to XIII because I'm a sucker for classic Final Fantasy gameplay.

XIII is better than X-2. If an open world to explore and lots to do is so important, you should love X-2. XIII is actually somewhat focused.

Post-game for all three games is bull, though.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I kinda want to play either Jessica Jones or Molly Hayes. Maybe both, in a mentor/pupil relationship.

Heidi Williams

Location: Outside Avalon.
Interacting With: Ayel @Dezuel

Heidi listened to Ayel continued to speak there was one thing he said that she agreed with. Only one. The most important law to follow is the law of your heart. And Heidi's heart was telling her that Ayel was dangerous, and wrong, and that no matter what somebody has done, killing will always be a less moral choice than incarceration and salvation, if the latter is possible. But he wasn't the one with a captive. Right now, they were allies with a common enemy. Heidi's severe misgivings about Ayel's philosophies were not the main concern, no matter how wrong she was finding them. They needed to save their classmate. Or rather, her classmate. Heidi didn't think Ayel went to the institute. His extreme and elitist views of non-mutants was disgusting to Heidi, and she doubted that this attitude would have lasted very long under the tutelage of the X-Men. After this was over, she should at least persuade him to enrol, or persuade the teachers to contact him.

"There are billions of people out there, who don't have the X-gene. Billions who are good, moral people. Innocent and as deserving of life as anybody. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop insulting them. That won't help change things. Billions of people minding their own business aren't the problem. They never have been. Change for the better won't come about if you destroy the system. That will just create more chaos. You need to change the system itself to your advantage. You need to...use it."

They landed on a roof overlooking the site where Aya had told them the car had driven. Heidi immeditaly stepped close to the edge and began taking everything in and formulating plans and strategies, while Ayel continued talking, and she turned to watch his lips. "Very well," she answered once he'd finished, after turning away and looking back over the scene. "We go in there together. And you're right. I can't stop you killing. All I can do repeat myself and ask you not too. I can't stop you and rescue Uná at the same time. They kidnapped her from the club, and they're armed. This is on them."

She looked back to Ayel. "I will try to keep an eye out for backup arriving, and if I notice something, I'll try and notify you. You can then use he power you used in the club to let them know where we are and what's going on. Speaking of, that's something we need to talk about later. I know you're the one who sent that message into all of our heads, calling for some kind of uprising. Careful. You sounded a little like Magneto." she finished with a hint of challenge in her voice, and eyes, before returning her attention to down below.
