    Edens Zero: So, Ziggy officially has the highest body-count of all of Mashima's past villains; Frieza would be proud. And this chapter...Jesus, I'm actually crying.
    Ichigo: What even *are* you?!

    Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!

    Although I liked the idea of him getting his mitts on a Node and building a Sanctum there where he can access Divine Magic and make his own Zone of Reality, that one seems way to risky and high-level play to be a reasonable extension of where he was going.

    Bonus - Eurakia (known as the New Continent everywhere else) has chocobo equivalents, so that makes it even easier for him. ^_^

    See that's what she'd want to do.

    Kiyren's working model was basically "what if extremely curious warlock, but in Anima... where curiosity is generally terrible". Had other things tacked onto it surely but I think the best way to sum up how she'd have been in Siriel's game is:

    Tasha: *rampages and wastes an army*
    Kiyren: Neat. I'm gonna ask a bunch of questions now.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    That's what I figured. And it's a great character base idea. ^_^ And yes, in Anima it's certainly enough to get you in trouble of the fun sort. PC life is boring without getting into trouble.

    Though that's the thing about Anima. Trouble is an exercise in how liberal a GM wants to be in keeping the party alive. It's almost harder to justify considering how rapidly everything scales lol.

    Yeah, but the big guys don't tend to notice or care about the little ones. So unless players decide 'I'm going to go assassinate Eli!'* there's not so much chance of them getting in trouble with Kisidan, for example. ^_^

    But I see your point.

    * if they do, it's kind of 'you brought this on yourselves' time.

    How many planets and their populations has Ziggy wiped out, either directly or by his order.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Well, he just recently wiped out around 20,000 planets with anti-matter bombs that he stole from a rival and activated. He also destroyed a planet (Granbell) himself with his Gravity Ether Gear.

    I remember. Nice. Corim as blind, mobile librarian is a great image.

    Yeah, like Sharp says, avoiding Malekith’s attention, particularly in Graven, is highly recommended. Dude is not for messing.

    As for Preston, I assume he is going into the stomach of some carrion
    Preston is creeping through the Flow of Souls trying to avoid some creature that feeds on it. “If I can just…” *crack* “… dammit.”

    Jen was really refreshing. Didn’t seem to outwardly carry any baggage, but I’m certain she had some. She’s one of the characters, along with Jared, who I would really like to see settle down into a trouble free life.

The Dafne soldiery wouldn't be in a talking mood, mind, and neither would Tasha (who wouldn't be going back until she fully mastered her style of fighting, so...extremely high level). As Avy suspected, a lot of people die before Tasha works out that her parents aren't on the island anymore.

    I actually wrote a short, couple of pages long vignette about this - just her arrival, none of the fighting or anything (and yes, I had pictured Corim there, though hadn't had him blinded at the time).
    I remember this too. Pretty epic stuff. Extra intriguing now, given our subsequent head-canon about who else is operating in Dafne, and who might end up on the other side of that confrontation. Now that would be fun. Quick, but fun.

    Nah, that’s definitely achievable for someone of his cunning. And knowing Taran he’d scam somebody on a land deal to get that Node.

    Of course he would have. 100%. But they wouldn’t be in Gabriel.

    a) He’s from Phaion, not Gabriel.
    b) My version of Solomon’s future is that he ends up being sent by the ruling council of Phaion to use his peacemaking combined with his commercial acumen to negotiate a deal with Lucrecio for the creation of a Panama/Suez-style canal from the Inner Sea to the ocean and access to the New Continent, with Phaion controlling that trade route and Lucrecio having access to various technologies and the market access on their borders to all of The Empire, The Alliance, The Episcopal States and the Lands of Al Enneath. Of course, his first name brings him some attention from a certain local prince.

    Ardy could definitely do some crafting there. Might learn some interesting new skills… o_0

    I mean, only reason Kiyren ran into the group was her poking and prodding around in places she probably shouldn't, heh.

    If it's Phaion, like Beadle says, that's a pretty chill place.

    Yeah, Perfect World Guide puts him at Level 16/Gnosis 40 (!!!) in Graven.

    Ooooh, now I forget. Who?

    That's...interesting. Pretty darned interesting (and thinking bigly). Explain 'inner sea to the ocean' (the Inner Sea is already part of the ocean), though - I may simply be spacing on what you mean.
