@Eratas:
Spoiler for Rong's reasons:
The reason he seems so normal is because there is someone keeping him normal. @zero: that's why she is a representative hopeful. She is in line to replace Natasha because I can only imagine that the government is getting ready to pull the plug on silver gospel because of that incident. Also for the fact that representatives aren't forever young. Fillia is only one of those considered to take up the position should the need ever arise. |

However, it does seem that chemical weapons that linger on the shield (napalm, acid) can damage it or even bypass the defense (hence those odd clauses in the Alaska Treaty), so instead of a plasmagun, a good old flamethrower works just fine. Though if you ask me, the author wasn't thinking when he came up with the bloody premise... the end result made IS look a hell lot weaker than otherwise. I've compensated by having only the White Knight being wtf powerful and hence making everyone panic. Other IS that came after it are so far behind that machine that normal weapons still can harm them if the pilot is being an idiot (ie standing in the middle of nowhere firing at everything or something to that effect.) Alright! I was looking for someone like this. Though I kind of wasn't following the entire discussion, and probably missed when you joined the thread... Care to update me to what has transpired so far?

@ Demino - So he's a villain protagonist then? Hate to say this, but if you plan for anyone in the harem to fall in love with him, it's gonna end up looking like colossal character derailment/asspull.
All of them have pretty high moral standards and helping kill innocent civilians simply for revenge isn't going to make him any more sympathetic. The fact that he seems none too broken up about it just makes him seem even less relatable. He can't use the indoctrinated excuse since he's obviously working towards a goal and not because he's been brainwashed. Look at Accelerator from index. He's been literally targeted from childhood by the army and lived every day of his life with people attacking him and a homicidal guardian who does unethical experiments on him. He still has the basis of compassion and guilt that human beings have. @ Meister - That was before I saw the post Demino's terrorist group is actually a terrorist in the conventional sense. Killing innocent people and bombing sites with no reason whatsoever. His OC wants revenge on the terrorist leader but he's willing to kill innocent people for it.

@Eratas: He's remorseful, just not angsting every second about it. I'm actually writing the second chapter trying to avoid a moment where he's portrayed as mentally scarred. The reason for this is because someone is actively trying to heal him and I just don't really want to portray Rong as excessivley emo.
Spoiler for likable?:
Fillia is one messed up dame. |

@ Demino - Being remorseful about something doesn't make you emo. Irish feels bad about what he's done, doesn't stop him from still being pragmatic and brutal in a fight nore does he angst about killing people. Remorse can be shown through the characters actions, which Rong tried to do when he saved Fillia.
Also, By mentally scarred, I meant actual brain damage. Child terrorists/child soldiers have to go through a lot of rehab to even function in a regular society. Irish for example always keeps a knife on him even in a safe area. Real life child terrorists also attacked opponents corpses and maimed them for no reason at all. Mentally scarred means more than just trauma, it's also means actual damage to the persons psyche.

@Eratas: I just don't want to portray Rong as extremely mentally broken. Especially since he's the only OC I've written so far who's actively trying to pick up the pieces and not being forced into it by a plucky sidekick or some deus ex machina. As for hitting dead corpses, I'll just say he learned his lesson when he saw some other kids do the same and died for it on their first mission. "The dead don't shoot you, the living do."
Also let me reiterate. Rong was saved. What he is saved from is not limited to external factors. EDIT: Plus how he seems so normal now gives great contrast to how he'll act if I ever decide to make him snap. Last edited by demino_hellsin; 2011-11-14 at 06:21. |

It depends on how the character is. Kitsurugi clearly feels guilt and spent his dying years making sure he raised Shiro right and tried to rescue Illya even as his body was destroying itself. Also, there's the fact that he doesn't get a happy ending. He ends up failing to rescue Illya, his wife dies, and his son basically starts to follow in his footsteps by the time he's gone. I'd say he gets all of Karma's retribution by the end.

In my case, currently being obsessed creating an original/ fan fiction using Mini Mecha concepts like GEARS from Heavy Gear and Gear Krieg and Wanzers from Front Mission. In other words, a War Fic. I even lose my touch for Sacred Twins except for the battle scenes.
