Well yeah, Crow didn’t actually do anything wrong. If you’re playing a villain who blames crow you’re pretty much playing a delusional person.

xD well yes the Crow did not do anything wrong, however being that the MC is 15 and trapped in a hole and looking at the Crow as their Mother/Father figure, they believe that the Crow will save them before its to late and even though the Crow more then likely tried there was nothing they could do, so as the MC dies they are more then likely thinking that the Crow their Mother/Father left them and let them die. then when the MC comes back there’s someone else who is replacing you at their side, for a teen who is already physiologically traumatized, having that delusion wouldn’t really be all that farfetched. xD but then again it would really come down to your personal play style xD

All this talk of turning Wraith good, and no one has brought up an even better plan.

Turning a hero bad.

Join the dark side! We have Blizzard!

You had me at join, but lost me at Phoenix. I’ll stay as a moody Anti-Hero that just does whatever he wants, which includes a bad Matrix reference every scene.

What if Phoenix is not there? We have cookies! And brownies! Villains can do whatever they want too. And that includes bad Matrix references.

I’m not scared of her. I have Blizzard to protect me.

ahem Phoenix? Care to be a darling here?

Phoenix Blasts Blizzard and melts them into a puddle of boiled water… as a friendly reminder.

Though I guess in this case “boiled” would be the far better adjective…

@Doctor, would you be a dear and help Blizzard real quick? If not, @Mystjerne, would you be so kind as to use your ice powers to freeze Blizzard back into existence?

xD hummm turning a hero to the dark side… well i did bring something like that up earlier xD i used a “what if” with troy, the MC being a villain and romancing troy to either get him to join the dark side or to just kill him in a sick revenge plot, but i suppose it would depend on who you wanted to go dark xD i mean for all we know troy or vine could be working for wraith and are really villains playing as heroes, for the MC i would imagine that could be rather easy to do, something like wraith kills someone the MC loves and the MC decides that said villain needs to pay by your own personal justice instead of the legal system xD tho there could be other ways to xD like maybe the Crow is actually a super villain but for some reason they have to play the part of a hero for the MC as some plot that was planed out and put into motion before the MC was born xD

EDIT totally just remembered that in the intro there is a bit about getting revenge, so the MC could be a villain play the part of a hero to get revenge on who ever is responsible for the MC parents death or on their parents (depending on your back story) plus the whole reason the Crow took you in is because they feel guilty about what happened to you because they had a hand in causing your parents death or arresting your dad or something xD there are tons of possibilities xD

@RedRoses Well, the MC was dead and Crow obviously didn’t listen to the zombie apocalypse warnings, so he didn’t know the dead could come back to life.

But, I think Troy tricked Crow and forced his way into becoming a sidekick. There were many (villian) witnesses at the scene, but no one knows that Blackbird was dead and there were no records of an obituary on MC’s death. How can this be explained?

Crow was so overwhelmed with grief he ( and Nero and Glammour) killed everyone and blamed it on the bomb. Crow was obviously made mentally unstable by MC’s death (which is obvious in the way he loses control of himself when MC mentions the real Blackbird) and became reckless and Troy found his secret identity. Troy offered to become fake bird in order to save Crow’s sanity and restore him to his former hero self be evil and replace MC. Crow was so sad about MC’s death that he had to accept.

Reminds me of this book I read once that follows a superpowered sidekick that finds out his mentor is evil and the villain and the villain’s sidekick are good guys. Plus, the sidekicks fall in love with each other, so there’s that. It was a pretty good story actually. Amusing too.

Don’t suppose you remember the name of the book, do you?

Also, re: the entire thing about Troy and Crow - I think it’s more complicated than plain trickery. Crow was definitely devastated, but given what we’ve seen from Troy so far, I don’t think that’s the case. TBH, I’m gonna wait until we get more information on that situation simply because there’s so many ways it might have gone down - although my pet theory is that Crow’s method of coping is really unhealthy, and they just can’t cope with the idea that they made a mistake and a kid they cared about ended up dead as a result. How Troy comes into that, I’m not sure, but I can’t imagine it was pretty.

Ha, how did I not remember. I read it when I was in middle Scholl, so that’s probably why. It was called Sidekicks.

Devastated? She doesn´t even know what feeling devastated feels like. But she will.

am I the only one that finds it a bit odd that in the intro Nero is described as our best friend, but he is hardly mentioned after we come back from the dead, specially considering that we died trying to save him
