The Gentle Dead Men will definitely need to make an appearance at some point.
In fact, with one of the characters I have in mind, they'd work in perfectly...

Not sure how much you guys know about FF14, but they have a few fun/troll quests from time to time. I know this RP has a serious tone to it with amnesiac characters and mysterious revelation stuffs, but having some fun can also help to develop the characters, right?
All my ideas involve FF XIV. Too many ideas right now in fact. I'm interested to see some sheets to get an idea what the party make-up is going to look like.
@tsukune
Are there particular parts of the FF franchise you're wanting the pool of characters to come from? Or not come from?
In particular, I have some canons from XIV in mind. But, I can just as easily adjust to characters from a different FF.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll push along in a day or two, seeing how that's most convenient for me, anyway, but if you're still blocked by then that's no problem. I'll just mention that Damian tells Miles his name, and then move back towards a solo arc, I guess, if that's cool.
That gave me some motivation, because I had in mind to drop the Robin name here.
Without Dick Grayson, I'm having to figure out to marry Damian with the origins of Robin. That predicament seemed as good a spot as any to plant the seed.

Leaving an enemy alive was a tactical error.
It allowed them to strike from behind, as this Mayo had demonstrated. That the man was incompetent was immaterial. He obviously represented a threat to the Spider-Boy. So why allow the margin of risk to remain? The wall-crawler seemed quite distressed by the implication that he ought to kill the Condiment King. But what was the use or purpose in allowing him to live?
To further complicate matters, the Spider-Boy asked his name.
Pausing, the boy thought for a moment. He hadn't been prepared for that question. Normally, his handlers prepared him with a false identity in advance of an operation, in case something like this came up. Except, he didn't have that in this case which left him unprepared to do anything aside from make it up as he went.
He should keep it simple. The more complex the lie, the harder it was the remember later. And it needed to be a name that was believable, but without any frame of reference to his own. Perhaps literature held the answer? Arthur? As in, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Perhaps something drawn from the plays of Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, or Anthony Munday?
"Robin," the boy uttered, fearing he'd been silent for too long. It was a moment before he made the connection himself. Robin Hood, the protagonist in a pair of plays Anthony Munday authored based on the oldest surviving ballads of Robyne the Hood.
He'd kind of pulled that out of his ass, but it was as good a name as any.

Writer's block has struck. Please don't wait for me. I'm going to take a break to recharge here.

Short, but a post.
I'll take it.

Twenty million dollars?
"Well, that would buy a PlayStation," the boy mused aloud, as though contemplating just what the Spider-Boy was worth. In all honesty, with a price that high, he was surprised that the wall-crawler hadn't attracted larger game hunters. Or even the League for that matter.
One thing didn't quite sit right with the child however.
"...wait, you and another vigilante had this guy hemmed up and you allowed him to escape alive?" the boy noted aloud, looking over at the Spider-Boy with a look that bordered between skepticism and genuine confusion. How did that work? Was it supposed to be like that fishing-not-fishing stuff, where people caught fish and then released them back alive? "Wouldn't that be a tactical error?"
The first rule of fight club was there were no rules. But the second rule was that you destroyed your enemies. Left nothing that could come back and bite you, as this loser appeared to be attempting to do.
"Your abilities seem like you should have easily been able to neutralize your target without any resistance."
