Kinda sorta want the fact that Krenn is a stalker to do something. Not quite sure what, though.

Well, you can not force people to react to certain things. But you have made very clear what they could react to. :)

Gaius has a bad history with stalkers, so I might be able to implement something that works with his personality.

[Aegia-]

Aegia has never experienced a Stalker attack, so she just assumed he was an Excalibur with a strange taste in colors and helmet choices.

 

Also, can Gaius stop a speeding Rhino in her tracks? c:

[Owlrrex]

Souna has a somewhat... distanced opinion of the stalker, with a little bit of respect but not a single drop of attachment (positive or negative). Maybe this is gonna change in the course of RP. However, I got a few ideas what she could say if the situation Aegia and Gaius resolves. :> 

[Ghost333]

Honestly, I didn't even notice Krenn was labeled as Stalky.
Welp, Hex needs to brush up on his hit-squads, then

Oh? How so? Right now I don't wanna post anymore til Hades can get back to me ^^ Edited October 18, 2015 by Starnsy_Warnsy

She went into stasis before the fall of the Orokin, and only recently awoke. So she has not been targeted by him yet, has only heard of him and his kind. She respects his resolution and devotion to his cause, doesn't judge if his cause is true or not (because she does not know), and would kill him if necessary. 

 

So, her disregard for his life and her respect for his cause and strength of mind kinda cancel out, and she's just neutral towards him. However, I see potential for a little misunderstanding that would make great conversation, given that Souna spots Krenn lying there and has the time to talk to him.

[IceDragonofAmber]

Whatever does happen to Krenn just know that Sab'll come forward and save him if things get rough.

If anyone's gonna put a bullet through his head it's gonna be her.

[DellSalami]

It's almost like an extreme tsundere attitude.

 

At least, that's how I see it.

[IceDragonofAmber]

Not really, since Sab isn't really being "hostile" towards Krenn himself, moreso he was just an unfortunate outlet for her built up frustration, resulting in his sudden vacation of the capsule.

If she was truely being hostile towards him Sab wouldn't have Riplined him when a hole was blown in the Galleon and she'd just watch as he'd get lynched on account of Stalking, maybe even do it herself if she hated him enough.

[DellSalami]

Like I said, just how I saw it.

 

I make connections between things that are way too unrelated sometimes.

[Aegia-]

With respect, shouldn't Souna know of the Stalker, due to him being a Low Guardian during the Orokin era?

[Ghost333]

Probably.
But I'm just playing Civ V in the background, spreading Protestant Scientology to all the Buddhist Egyptians and Confucian Americans

CHARACTER QUESTION TIME!!!

They lie knelt on a pristine white floor, an unseen light blinding their vision. They no not where they are, nor the clouded figure that held the golden gun to their head. Seconds tick by on an unseen clock, the air only disturbed by their last few breaths. Words are spoken, too suddenly to catch the accent, too suddenly to catch expression. Only the offer had fallen upon their ears.

What are their last words?

As I see it, there were a lot of low guardians (and high guardians too, ofc). So, he basically was noone important, since he was not formally present (Not invited) at the ceremony mentioned in his codex.

So, why would Souna know of someone who had nothing to do with the tower where she was stationed, and had no important role whatsoever? The name of 'Stalker' and the cult around him only emerged after the Orokin fell, at least that's how I see it. If you see a problem with that, do tell please. I like people who question things, it helps me improve my characters!

Souna's last words. That is really hard to tell, since it depends a lot on how her the situation came to be. Since she has a confidence in her own abilities, she might still not have given up hope. In this case, it would probably be a threat and promise:

"I'll paint sun and skies in you blood!"

[(PSN)batman200087]

Bel would probably use a threat. Before actually doing said threat.

"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

(Extra points if you get the reference)

If that'd happen to Fulgurus, I wouldn't have any ideas what he would say...

No need for hostility. I'm not saying she knows HIM specifically I'm saying she would know of him and his kind, the Low Guardians. I'm basically working off of the assumption that all the Low Guardians looked similar, i.e. wore the same armor. I can only assume it looked similar to the Stalker's armor we're so familiar with.

Surely Souna would have seen/interacted with a Low Guardian at some point during her time in the Orokin Era. If anything, it would paint her reaction to Krenn a bit differently. As I see it, why would a Low Guardian still exist now? With the Stalker being an exception of course.

Also, the Stalker WAS present at the ceremony, or else he wouldn't have a firsthand account of it

I did not intend to be hostile. I really enjoy this, and you make some good points! I did not think of that the stalker-armor might've been the uniform of the low guardians as well. I will remember that. 

 

And at the ceremony, yes he was present in generla. Though, he says he watched "from a distance". I always imagined that he was on the outskirts, not invited onto the ceremonial grounds themselves. Although, as I read it again in the forums, there is no clear indication to that, it was just my interpetation.

I thought of he and the other Low Guardians as being somewhat like security during that ceremony, so it would make sense for them to be there, but not be taking part in the ceremonies themselves. It would also explain why he was watching from afar, as the High Guardians would have been tasked with more important positions to guard, putting them closer to the Orokin.

Yes, this sounds very reasonable. And I think I can put that into what I had until now about the stalker fairly easy, without too much bending. Thanks for you input! :)
