Hello @comradelenin
I agree with you.
I wonder if we’ll get the chance to blind the bastard.
How old is MC by the way ?? Approximately 22 years old??
The Warden is in their early twenties, though they don’t know their exact age. Taken from their family at a very young age, no one ever bothered to keep track of how old any of the experiments were.
All surviving test subjects are between 18 and 24 years old. The Warden isn’t one of the youngest, but their precise age is intentionally left vague—so you can interpret it however you prefer.
It’s been 10 years since he met his siblings , he was taken at the age of twelve. So yep , I just made the maths
Oh right, my bad lol. Twelve was indeed the original idea for the age when the Warden was separated from the others. After people asked for more customization options I thought about changing it to “around 12” to keep their origin more ambiguous and give readers a bit more freedom when imagining their version, but I guess I forgot to actually change it, sorry about that hahaha. So many updates and changes that I get a bit lost sometimes.
But yeah, when I’m writing, I do picture them as being 22.
Tbh I think the age is good. The white hair preset is also very good as well. Tbh in my opinion, I feel the only thing that needs customization on is the body physique and height
Yeah, I think I’ll include that in the next update since I’m already working on revamping how the stats are being used might as well add appearance options too. I’m thinking of including height, physique, hair length and skin color. Physique will likely be limited to something like athletic or burly though, since the Warden is a trained warrior.
Awesome
I don’t want to help either royal simply cause I hate their allies. I don’t want to help the general or our crazy child expiramenting on mad scientist. I would have been keen on building a home and kingdom for us and the other kids, but then they betrayed us and I had to toss them around a little for hurting Walls and Ruby.
Physique could be things like lean, athletic, muscular, and stocky?
I was thinking of limiting the Warden’s physique to either a muscular or a more athletic build, since they’ve been monitored and trained since childhood to become the ideal warrior. I think that in these conditions their body would naturally develop in one of those two directions due to the intensive training.
Well, that’s why I include lean. Lean physique is the perfect amount of muscle with little fat. Someone fast and agile would develop a lean physique. Someone more balanced in strength and agility would be athletic. And someone focused on strength and less on agility would be muscular.
That’s my theory too. But I would include the prince in this scheme. I can’t imagine the general being able to send the greatest weapon of the Kingdom away without the King’s permission at least and I can’t see the prince as a little saint like he likes to sell himself. The prince saying he wants to improve the quality of life of the experiments with Azgor would be consistent with why the other experiments decided to help the invaders. So the general and the prince have every ability to make this plan work, now I can’t think of a reason for the prince to be part of this plan.
yeah, those three work too. I think I’ll go with that then
Plan to reform the country:
Step 1: Facilitate ethnic cleansing of own people.
That’s a bold move there, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out for them.
I’m also rather suspicious of what the king was doing at the time. He seems to have just dropped off the face of the Earth. I doubt he’s in on the conspiracy itself but he’s up to something.
Admittedly it’s also possible he got killed by the invaders. If they do indeed have allies in Emberford, one might’ve known where the passage out of the city ended. And it’s not like if he were alive, he’d necessarily have a way to contact us.
That being said, these are also perfect ways to obfuscate him being up to something.
Which reminds me, @RGHV are the Royal guard going to be relevant on any of the routes? They seemed somewhat significant at the banquet but scattered after the sacking of Emberford. Did the heirs have any with them?
It depends on what you mean by “relevant.” Theresa’s guards are still with her and do have their own backstories, which will be explored more in her route. Ecbert, on the other hand, didn’t have a dedicated personal guard—he was just well-liked by the soldiers and palace guards, so many of them chose to accompany him around, and he didn’t mind.
They’ll show up in scenes where you encounter those characters regardless of the route, but they aren’t a real threat to the Warden. For example, the three knights who serve Theresa might be able to hold their own against Walls at most, but mostly thanks to their enchanted equipment.
Yeah that’s basically what I meant.
Also just checking, is the reforms the Aurelian Empire path part of the build your own empire path?
Both routes start the same way—by rejecting the other options and heading to Laphis—but they eventually branch off. I just haven’t fully decided yet whether that divergence happens midway through the process of “conquering” Laphis or after you’ve already secured it and begin setting your sights on other territories.
If it turns out the enemy is also trying to restore the Empire, this is gonna be a real case of “task failed successfully.”
Also, gotta love the sheer irony of Azgor’s avatar doing this. Like when Christianity usurped Roman Paganism. Re-established in an enemy city too.
I find Lyra threatening mc to not hurt Arael was cute and funny. Like how are you gonna threaten a monster you literally seen no diff a dragon. Shows how she really cares about her. Walls is my big lil brother and i wanna match him with Lyra. The big lovable giant and cold, big heated over protective elf just fits.
Does Arael care about reform her empire or is down with mc starting a new one? It seems like the latter. I hope not bc i damn show aint gonna be the reason my kin nearly go extinct again bc those mofos with clear superiority complex wanna have a dumb ass floating castle and boats.
How tall is Arael? She seems around 5’3 5’4 maybe 5’2. I picture Ruby as being 5 ft tall. Just short and agile af.and are her wings bat like or smooth scale like snake skin? And i might be remembering but it weird the my high ego mc with a superiority complex ( dont say nothing ) to feel sad about killing his siblings that he already established that he doesn’t care about and who openly hate him bc he’s the strongest. He only cares for his bro walls and second wife Ruby so he would only care about what they think. The second they tried to hurt his family is when they gave there lives up as a forgiveness present.
Lasty if you side with the prince or princess you tripping. You can level a kingdom with ease, have 2 dragon siblings who can also do serious damage alone, An angel, powerful healing elf that doubls as a negotiator who comes with THE BACKING OF AN ENTIRE ELVEN EMPIRE, a POWERFUL science angel AND A DIE HARD CULT yet you wanna run back and be a toy to mofos you most likely gone outlive and only likes you bc your a useful weapon and you get lil to no say on how you want shit done.and can our powers strengthen our siblings?
