 . Archleone's death in Wildcard(v3)'s Mer world.
-Wildcard's VR world //Mer// is based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_5F1zYQF5M|Pirates of Dark Water]]. It turns out that if you [[https://wildcard.pinkgothic.com/news/log-303-mer/377.html|get Dark Water in your eye, you are unfortunately not lucky]].
+Wildcard's VR world //Mer// is based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_5F1zYQF5M|Pirates of Dark Water]]. It turns out that if you get Dark Water in your eye, [[https://wildcard.pinkgothic.com/news/log-303-mer/377.html|unfortunately, you are just going to die, and there's nothing anyone can do to help you]]. Sucks to be you, Archleone. What's that, I //was// you? Of course I was. (To be fair, I was probably something like half the characters in the session. No matter...)
 . Michael's blinding in Nightchilder's Gehyra plotline.
-...
+Following his traumatic experience (see #1 in this list), Michael decided he needed circumstance to force him to actually think about and process what had happened. Given that he's part of a highly masochistic philosophy, the //natural first thought// that occurred to him was to get his eyes put out with holy water. Nothing to it, right? [[https://bite.thorngale.net/viewtopic.php?p=11260#p11260|His friend Shadowvein was so kind to assist him]], because that's what good friends do.
+I like the session because it's a lovely (albeit unusual) study of friendship and trust.
 **Which of your characters (or characters of a friend) would you like to be, if you could and had to, and it came with all associated social ramifications and thrust you into the setting they're in?**
-...
+One obvious answer is //Dread//. I would be exactly as awful as he is, though, but! On the plus side, I would also get away with it as easily as he does. No regrets.
-**I find fan-fiction of yours on the internet. It's on a roleplay setting. What's it about? (Has anyone left comments on the fan-fiction, and if so, what are the comments?)**
+A less obvious but significantly more sincere answer is //Francisco Ahlgren//. Francisco is the figurehead of an anarchic nation, bearing the title //Archon//, which allows him to do jack all. That said, he's the founder of the nation and a lot of people look up to him. He also represents the nation internationally, although this is primarily to the frustration of foreign politicians, some of which go as far as to openly loathe him for his inability to promise them anything (even a signature under the human rights charter). Outside of his nation, he is not very popular, though I consider him a genuinely nice and forthcoming person.
-...
+Ultimately, Francisco has much thicker skin and resilience than I do and I would love to have that, even if it meant that a majority of the world adopted a passive hate of me through the way the media portrayed me. I would make that trade; I think Francisco's resilience (and to some degree his position as his nation's founder) allows him to do more good than I do out of character.
 **Which character of yours (or of a friend) do you most identify with and why?**
-...
+//Evenatra// from kraiaKy. Evenatra is something of a fallen goddess at grave risk of getting murdered by a living weapon made specifically to destroy her kind. She's sticking around on the planet this is happening on, anyway, out of a sense of responsibility - even though her staying there is possibly even making things worse for the creatures she's trying to protect (by making them more hunted in an effort to get at Evenatra). Her kind of helpless courage has inspired a lot of my personality since I created her (when I was around ten-ish).
+Note: <del>kraiaKy is not currently a roleplay setting, but I am writing a book in that universe (at time of writing, October 2016, it has about 100k words and I would say is about halfway done), and once that is done will probably try converting it into a roleplay backdrop. (I have roleplayed in this setting before, it's just usually extremely fleeting. Wildcard(v4) had a VR world based on kraiaKy once.)</del> The [[https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08BY6YPKT/|book is out]] and there is now also [[https://tarnish.thorngale.net/|a roleplay setting]] in this universe.
+**I find fan-fiction of yours on the internet. It's on a roleplay setting. What's it about? (Has anyone left comments on the fan-fiction, and if so, what are the comments?)**
+It's fan-fiction of Wildcard(v3)'s //Mer// setting, where the ecomancer Azur ends up with all the Treasures of Rule, and through them ends up linked with the ([[https://wildcard.pinkgothic.com/encyclopaedia/Talk:Mer#Non-canon|Wildcard(v3)-specific]]) deity //Rael//. This allows him to to control all of the Dark Water on Mer. What does he do with this power? He goes grimdark on the Nado Dark Water cultists, of course. What //else// is a moody twen that's gotten bullied going to do, after all?
+If there are comments, it's probably someone outraged about how any ecomancers from Pirates of Dark Water lore would have anything at all to do with Dark Water. :)
