@DangDude
You were accepted, btw. Not sure if you caught it but go ahead and move your sheet over to the Char Tab.

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

I thought people still lived there and tried to fix up the world, but i haven't played the second game in a long time, so I might be mis-remembering things. I just imagined the character was born there, but has moved around since. Actually, maybe she returned to try and help the committee there. If that's the case though, than where really, is fine.

@RyuShura

Don't forget Rule #4:

4. Canon story events from Chain of Memories and onward are to be considered irrelevant.

Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey never returned from sealing Door to Darkness. As such, future events were affected. Though now that I think of if the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee can still easily be founded without any input from Sora and crew, so I'll concede that to be an error on my part. Even so, Hollow Bastion restoration wouldn't have lasted long before the Committee was run off by the Empire forming.

I've decided to withdraw my interest. There's just too many things about these characters and this premise that I simply cannot bring myself to agree with or take seriously. I'm sorry.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@TheUnknowable I mean if I'm being perfectly honest, this scenario makes far more sense if the country becomes split in two because of Anarchy, between the half that is okay with the changes, and the half that opposes him and is likely being backed by the former government. We would then end up with a Titans East/West or - to use a Marvel example - a Civil War situation.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@TheUnknowable It's perfectly fine if Anarchy thinks he's the hero in-universe. After all, we're all the protagonists of our own stories. Just don't expect other characters to see him the same way. ;)

DC Universe: Anarchy

@DoubleI just don't see it as being as black and white as "villain or hero".

I don't entirely agree with his actions, he should have just started his own colony to start his society, but once he started taking out government sites and drawing in the JL, it's understandable that he would side with the enemies of his enemy.

I think that, at least, he would see his actions as the best option and his goal as noble. Not sure if that makes him an anti-villain, but he sees himself as an anti-hero.

@TheUnknowable

He can view himself as whatever he wants. What matters is what everyone else sees him as. Shockingly enough, most villains don't refer to themselves as villains (Unless you're The Joker, but he's the exception, not the rule). Hell, most of them insist that they are the heroes, even the rest of the world doesn't see it that way. The world unanimously agrees that Hitler was an evil bastard. But did he see himself as an evil bastard? Hell no, he thought he was saving Germany/the world from the Jews and all the other minority groups targeted in the Holocaust.

<Snipped quote by Double>

1) You are assuming that a government is inherently good, despite the fact that a government only functions through theft and violence.
But this is getting too much into politics, which could ruin the RP.

2) If you shut down a crime ring, do you lament the loss of jobs it's employees suffered? No. They find other jobs if they weren't arrested. In this scenario, there are huge numbers of new businesses being created, and anyone can start their own and offer goods or services if they wish. Sure, it won't be fixed instantly, and things will likely go down hill for a while (creating a demand for experienced police and military) but it will stabilize once enough new jobs exist.

3) Luthor's still around. He's leading Lexcorp. If I indicated otherwise somewhere, I'll fix it.

@TheUnknowable

1. No, I'm not assuming it's inherently good. I'm asserting that it's inherently necessary.

2. Jobs don't just magically appear out of thin air. You need supply, demand, and money to make that happen. Not everyone has access to those things.

3. Fair enough regarding Luthor, I'll concede that point to you.

It's not just firing the police and military that screws over the economy. What about all the disabled people, retirees, and others who were living (sometimes not even comfortably) on social security? Well, I guess they're right fucked, aren't they? Anarchy is deluding himself if he honestly believes this system is going to last. Either he's going to get overthrown/assassinated so that the government can be reinstated, or in the worst case scenario the country is going to nosedive into splintering political factions declaring independence and governing themselves. Anarchy could quash them, but that would be admitting that he's running a government now wouldn't it? I just cannot fathom why you're so surprised that the majority of us see him as the Villain in all of this.

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

I was just going to be from one of the existing worlds, like Hollow Bastion or one of the main connecting worlds.

@RyuShura

Fair enough, but Hollow Bastion's been lost since even before the events of KH1. It was the first world to be swallowed/overrun by Heartless after all. So you'll still need to have been somewhere at the time the Empire started attacking.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@DoubleHaving a noble goal but doing evil things to achieve it is an anti-hero, by your own definition.

Was George Washington an anti-villain? He overthrew a government in his country for the sake of Freedom.

@TheUnknowable

Anti-Heroes are Heroes who lack heroic traits, or do less than heroic deeds for a greater good. The difference is that an Anti-Hero will actually admit that what he does is wrong, and will often actively wish there was a better way. Case and point, Batman. Yes he works outside the law, naturally. But Bruce is constantly lamenting that he even has to do what he does in the first place, that he would like nothing more than for Gotham to clean up its act so he doesn't have to keep wearing the cowl.

And George Washington isn't even remotely similar to Anarchy. Yes, the Colonists overthrew the British rule. But they established an actual legitimate government in its place. What Anarchy is doing is not even close to the same. He overthrew the government and then proceeded to replace it with absolutely nothing. He even took it a step further and abolished all Police and presumably Military. Did he even stop to think about the economic repercussions of his actions? The guy literally fired every single police officer and possibly every single soldier in service. That is hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people that are suddenly out of work and now looking for a new job. The economy is so fucked in that scenario. And I seriously doubt Anarchy can simply hire them all for his security company, no way. Not even Bruce Wayne is that rich. And what about Lexcorp? Since Luthor's gone his company is likely down the toilet, which means all his employees are now also without a job. There's a very high probability that Metropolis is slowly devolving into becoming another Gotham because of this.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@TheUnknowable Every single thing you described are the actions of a textbook Anti-Villain.
