Write everything you want to say, copy the text and delete it, and post only the phrase EDIT INCOMING. Then manually edit your post, paste the text, and save. This will circumvent the text limit.
Re: Shadowhunter Discussion
If it's not Gaius, we must figure out who else would...
- Be dressed in red
- In his 50s
- Wield a DRK-length gunblade
- Use Terminust Est / Quickstep in battle
- Have a history with the Scions
- Recognize Alphinaud on sight
- Know of and loathe Ascians
- Be an imperial on bad terms with the Empire
- Have Gaius van Baelsar's faceplate on his belt
That's a lot of coincidences to redirect into, Actually, he's dead, but you should have seen the looks on your faces! ... Not that writers aren't occasionally so cruel.
I always imagined he'd try to rebuild something, if not Ala Mhigo when forces who didn't care about it (aside from Lyse, whose competence would be questionable at best) started tearing it apart, or a rebellious legion (not because the Warrior of Light is on "the right path", not because he's any friend of Eorzea, but because, To the Seventh Hell with Varis zos Galvus; they have every reason to want one another dead. It was a surprise to find that he'd taken Lahabrea's revelation of, "Not all the gods are lies and you've been a pawn in service to the Dark's restoration." so hard that he'd abandon all other pursuits to hunt them (with no particularly special gifts that we know of just yet).
The only question is ... how the sugar-frosted f[kupo]k does he have as many overlord kills as the Warrior of Light?
(I'm not even mad.)
