Now if that had been your first reply, obviously with slight changes given the extra discussion, this could've gone smoother.

You messaged me almost the exact same thing you posted, and as such I decided on OOC. Maybe not the strongest choice, sure, but I feel this was a discussion that might serve better in a public space.

Like I said, I understand why it would indicate he's dead. Why everyone would think so. Because by their eyes, how could he have survived? As I stated my original intention was death, so I made it look like death. It was after the post that I thought of the other possibility and the chance that you considered them more than NPCs.

So to avoid these misaligned conceptions of your people, I ask that you make minor CSs for anyone you don't consider immediately expendable. Those you want to use as faux-PCs really need a legitimate CS, even if it's not including backstory for example.

The reason I detailed my basic life was to hopefully give you understanding of why I was angry at the time, for the record.

So, now that both sides have had time to chill and think, I will yet again say this:

He can live, if that is what you'd like. I've been running a concept around in my head for a kind of reality warping person, and I could actually create them as an NPC to drop in. Or I could manage to have Alex overcome her panicking, overwhelmed by stimuli, state for the briefest of moments to save him right before it's too late.

And furthermore, as per the plan set in motion, There's going to be a certain someone who will be able to heal Emblem if you're keeping him alive.

I hope that finalizes everything, and if you wish to [I] discuss [/I] the options for saving him, you can go ahead and PM both Reg and myself when you've got time and we'll work out the details and likely colab the events from there.
