I never understood the criticism of the main villain only falling to the main hero. Isn't that pretty much every single story ever conceived? It comes from the fact that there aren't supposed to be any "one" main hero(es)/character(s) on the site (according to Ayen anyway) but there clearly are and they're simply ported from other sites and bring in a history from another site that has nothing to do with this site's history. If you're going to have a primary focus then they should be related to the main location of the story. Not the fishes out of the water. |

The characters in which you are referring to were here first and people who contribute the most are mentioned the most. There is no one true "main" because that is going to change which each new contribution that we get. It's just that simple. |

To put Veran into position for Amoura to deliver the finishing blow. Remember just because Amoura is the "chosen one" and has to be the one to end it doesn't make the other fighters useless. Just because the pawns can't move in as many directions as the other pieces doesn't make their impact any less meaningful. Yes it does... that's exactly what it does. 1: one of the chessmen of least value having the power to move only forward ordinarily one square at a time, to capture only diagonally forward, and to be promoted to any piece except a king upon reaching the eighth rank 2: one that can be used to further the purposes of another SourceMy point still stands. They make an impact and they have a purpose. The other pieces can't move without them. Except the horses but that's beside the point. |

Still, that's like being upset that Harry Potter had to be the one to kill Lord Voldemort. You knew that going in so why are you still complaining about it? It just doesn't make sense to me. |

Yeah but halfway through Harry Potter J.K. Rowling didn't port Frodo and Sam into it and made it about the one ring when it was originally about a dark wizard rise from the dead. |

We're a role play people, not a book. I'll take what I can work with.

Blame Garrus for comparing Amoura to Harry Potter. Which is actually a fitting comparison when you think about... HP had some extra angst too.

What you must keep in mind, Mariya, is that the entire Arashi plotline, years in the making and evolution, was always centered on Amoura. She was the first of Veran's victims, and became the subject of the oft-cited prophecy.
Besides, some of these guys have put years of devoted work into their flagship characters. Personally, I think they deserve the spotlight here; but of course, that's not to say the newer characters can't earn their own renown elsewhere. The Isafaro Resistance are a fine case in point.

*imagines Amoura in black robes, glasses and a British accent*
Dammit, guys.

Amoura being the center of it isn't the problem. The problem is the site isn't about the Arashi plot. It was about a world called Genesis beginning to merge with other realms. Instead we get one realm that was the redheaded stepchild of Capcom, Square Enix, Konami and Blizzard and no one could be bothered to play Mega Man or Ryu from Street Fighter. |

Amoura is as much the center figure as she was in The Valley of Death....

Who's saying she's going it alone? She might be the one to finish the Arashi, but it'll be everyone else fighting to keep them at bay as best we can.

Things the Arashi will shrug off like nothing until Amoura runs in with an old rag on her face and make them die from laughter.

That's when I stab them in the heart and claim I killed them.
