[quote=@Stein] Oh and I actually want Miles to grow tremendously in this time. He's 15 years old, so what's driving him a lot is his still slightly tinted view of the world. There's an innocence in him still and this innocence is what's glamorized the life of the vigilante and made it so appealing to the soul of a boy who just wants to be something. He'll hit his point where he sees the inherent risk with the vigilante life and have to make a choice on whether he really has it in him to proceed. If he says yes, he'll see this life not as something glamorous or glorious, but because at this point [i]someone[/i] has to do it and he can already see that he's well-qualified. And there will still be that taste of a dreamer in him throughout his journey that keeps him so optimistic. [/quote] I like that. I also like seeing points where people have to make big decisions on long odds, like do I continue with vigilanteness or not. Fun times. I cannot wait. [@Lord Wraith] How quickly are you expecting things to move from 'whoops, the lights went out' to 'hell no, you don't get to steal stuff' to 'want to run around stopping crime with me?' ??? Different speeds for different people? [@Dirge] I don't know if you missed this or just don't like the idea, so I'm copy pasting a thought I had for how to get Eric connected at some point to the rest of the people from your IC post. Because I'm lazy. But Andrew's mum might've been working in the library when Eric just totally destroyed four theses.... *lehorror* Unless it's just the covers the roots are growing out of and not through the books, then he gets a free pass. :P And she might try to offer him some small words of encouragement, bits of advice sort of thing. Or even give him Andrew's phone number like a weird person since she's likely seen him around and knows he's not a bad guy. She can be as creepy, or sneaky, or overt about what she's doing as you want her to be if you like this idea. If not, *tosses it out a window* Kalvin's out in New Alexandria too, isn't he?
