@shadolord If you wanna kill the NPC, just go for it. Might as well do a bit more to get the story going a bit faster.

So I had a thought, and figured I'd run it by everyone here before putting it into practice:

In Light's introduction post, it was implied she'd killed a rookie from the academy. I was thinking it'd be interesting if Kaede knew that 'newbie' and has a reason to hold a personal grudge. Whether or not the Gotei 13 (and Kaede herself) knows who the killer was doesn't matter so much; it could still be an unresolved incident, but it'd give something to build off of.

Eh, she was very vague about the whole thing in her inner monologue so it could be for any number of reasons. Plus she can just bring up the racism card and get lots of mileage out of that one.

I'm fine with it, but since I made it so vague, the situation could've been anything from Light did it to they tripped down some stairs and Light was there or something.

@Archmage MC
she didn't want another skirmish with an academy newbi who had a strange notion of attacking her on sight. It was a shame too, Light'd more than happily sit down and have an idle chit chat with them if they had offered, but no, she had to accidentally knock his head off. And unlike the hell people, the soul reavers didn't regenerate at all.


This didn't strike me as terrible vague. You've got that it was an accident, but you also have that she knocked his head off. I don't really see how that could be just her witnessing an academy recruit falling down some stairs; that seems like a disingenuous backstep from a previous post.

At the same time, it's not like the Soul Reapers have everything surveilled all the time. Probably the most they'd know about the recruits death is that they died of injuries while on a training patrol. Unless there was a witness there'd be no evidence linking Light to the dead recruit. That being said, if a recruit was decapitated, I imagine that the gotei 13 would have at least some sort of warning ongoing about Karakura town until the issue was resolved or declared a cold case.

I think if we're going to put together a common tie in our characters' backstories, we should be working together on what we think should happen (or have happened previously), rather than being like 'well yeah you can say that if you want, but I reserve the right to later say it didn't go down like that'. Generally I've found it's good to draw a line between IC knowledge and Meta knowledge when working this sort of thing out, and if we're not willing to be open and do that I'd rather just not include the recruit in Kaede's backstory.

Hm, I feel it was vague, but well you can do whatchya want. The short and narrow of it is that Light didn't know a soul reaper would be so 'fragile' compared to what she is used to, so in the end it can be played as a mistake or something. Up to you to let me know what you wanna do.

Oh I'm totally fine with it being a mistake, that's how it felt during the initial reading. Togabito are strong, and automatically res/regenerate, so it makes plenty of sense that Light might have killed a shinigami on accident. I just had a sinking feeling for a moment that the recruit's death was going to be played off as completely unrelated to her when you mentioned the stair thing.

TL;DR I like the idea that she didn't understand how fragile 'normal' soul reapers are, and will be riffing off of that. If Kaede ever learns of Light's connection to the dead recruit, she will probably still hold her responsible for it, regardless of whether or not it was a mistake or accident.
