I think you missed the point. Also, not sure why you felt the need to reassure me that your character has skills of her own, since I never once brought that into question. Yes, they all have abilities that give them something unique. But the one thing they all have in common is that unlike Cyrus, they lack real experience. Cyrus has 13 years of raw combat experience under his belt, plus he's killed before and knows full well he'll probably have to do so again. Can you say that about any of the other characters? Can they be described as battle-hardened soldiers who have already shown their capacity for killing other people? I don't think you can. And believe me, that sort of psychology goes a long way in determining just who the best killer is. Spells, skills, none of that means a single thing unless the person in question has the mental and emotional capacity to use said skills to kill their enemy. Somehow, I doubt any of the other characters can say that (although the jury's still out on Arthal) but I [i]can[/i] tell you that, yes, Cyrus can, and he most certainly will through the course of the campaign since I doubt the other Keyblade Wielders out there are going to just let us put an end to their fighting.

I know you haven't read anyone else character - it's evident not only in the way you RP IC'ly but even in the way you talk within OOC context, so I can speak pretty easily for at least myself and D-N's characters since we collaborated on them. By no means do we have Cyrus's skill or experience in fighting other Keyblade warriors within the context of the war. It's not outline in our Bio's but our characters actively avoided fighting in the war because of what our individual goal and aspirations are. We wanted to do something a little more interesting than a gary-stu tough-guy tsundere stereotype.

You can't offend us as RP'ers nor in character because you call us thugs or munny-hungry etc. - because that's what we intended to make. Our characters are gangsters. Not heroes, or champions... gangsters. They have killed people, just not usually in a fair or honest manner as battling in war. We have no qualms about your character's forte in combat, because it doesn't bare any relevance to what we would attempt to bring to this RP. We bring tension in the fact you can only trust us as far as a wallet can stretch (for now at least), and also in the fact that you have two professionals in covert politics, espionage and shady if not downright dirty deeds. Who won't hesitate to commit acts that are evidently to low brow for your character to stomach.

That doesn't have to appeal to you - that's okay. We don't write for your approval any more than you should for ours. We wanted to make gangsters, first and foremost, who were trained in the sword arts of Agrabah's dark streets and alleys. What we have, which [i]your[/i] character is inherently missing, is a possible character arc, where we deal with the war and it's consequences, challenging our view on things beyond ourselves for the first time and a challenge to be something greater than the biggest paycheck.

But you can be a war vet and be happy. We don't mind that all. Be as strong and overpowered as you feel you need to be.

We'll keep having fun with imperfect, flawed characters - characters that were interesting enough to drag your war-vet from his battle with the main protagonist to talk to us about a kicked over ice cream stand; jus sayin.
