Quick note on Bleeding

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Despite the fact that probably no one's actually that worried, just some personal beliefs of mine that might make this plot a little less traumatic for those of you fortunate enough not to run afoul of my writing quirks before:

1) There is no narrative point to pain for pain's sake.
2) As far as I know, it is against game rules to turn a PC flat-out evil. At least, not if you want to keep him a PC.
3) Never go into a plot without an exit-strategy.

In short, no worries. What's the fun in dragging them down if they're not going to climb back up again?


(Or maybe it's a slow day and I just wanted the excuse to use this icon again. Ah, how I miss you, SmugMarius.)

Besides, flat-out evil, at least in my book, does not really exist with human characters.

Ah, so you missed the Manuel stuff, then...

Manny wasn't completly evil and unredeemable. Sometimes he had amnesia.

That's right. And he was a completely different person after... oh, wait.

I was around lurking well before that, actually. 8-) Maybe we have different opinions on "flat-out evil"? Evil, yes, I would put him in my (at least semi-)evil book. "Flat-out" though would mean he's there just for the heck of it, and because he enjoys other people's suffering. Way I see it, he just drew all the wrong conclusions. *sigh* Manuel. You tried, you just didn't get it in the end.

I gather there were a lot of things going on behind the scenes that I missed, people leaving, etc.
