Welcome to Gaia! ::

So you guys about ready to start the Ginsei schools?

No, Zander is my character!

I'm my own person. you don't own me! scream

...

She is supposed to be on the street. Just do a re-entry post and James will talk to her.

Talking with ones alternate self is not that odd. You got Nexus that does it, now James. I think it is a virus.

Little tidbit from the story updates. Great stuff, you guys should read it sometime.

Anyway, I still don't know whether or not that voice in Nexus' head is him or not. The way I play it off is like he's actually talkin' to the writer, which is actually me, but when I created Nexus initially, he was supposed to be an extension of myself, but now he's a completely different entity in completely different universes, kinda like how metal is now completely different from rock music, ya feel me?

I think I subconsciously build him up with that sorta archetype. I mean, of course I've had Nexus runnin' around way before I ever got into or even heard of Deadpool, but that's not to say I haven't let him influence my take on him. I guess that's how characters and the writers writing for them grow.

Anyway, I was thinking about making another character for this guild--a girl. She'd be like an animal based homunculus, but working for the alchemist army. The details are a bit iffy, and I'm really writing this right now to make sure I don't forget it, but the premise of her would be something along the lines of an homunculus seeking redemption. She grew up with the standard kill, steal, destroy mentality for the longest, and then she came across a kakugane. That kakugane transformed her from a beast into a person. Then her runs terrorizing the humans got less and less fun, and more and more "wrong." She sorta developed human morals and decided to use her kakugane's human abilities more and more until finally, she believed herself to be human.

Of course, she knows that she's still a beast, full of sin, and may possibly never be anything more, but she wants to make a change. So using her kakugane ability, she enlists in the alchemist army under the human guise, and when they asked her of her kakugane's ability, she tells them it turns her into a beast.

Kinda cool, huh? I think so. It sorta goes to that whole superhero debate on whether or not the alter-ego is really the hero or the secret identity? What's really the mask?

I really wanna develop a character like this, but knowing me, I'll probably forget.

Animal-based homunculus can't use kakugane, because they gave up their humanity, and homunculi can transform into humans any time they want.
