Saving everyone else time is not really a concern, since now that Laharl has left the group (or rather, they've left him behind) he and Flonne are on their own. Laharl would have to get her up to speed on events that he probably doesn't fully understand himself and then suddenly go through all the character development you have planned for him thanks to Flonne in order to join them, so he's got plenty of time. Once the two reunite, they probably ought to descend back down to Tostarena Town or something. I can put a little something for Flonne in my update tomorrow for you.

World of Light

I'm not averse to the idea, but what part would I be playing in said collab? It seems like only Laharl and Flonne would be involved. Did you want me to help set the scene in the Convent?

I think her physiology would keep her decently okay, she has a high constitution lending her a bit of an edge against the cold thus she might also continuously emanate her aura as she descends to meet the others, using her faith as her shield so to speak and that's where she can end up in your update as she reaches the Seekers just barely.

@Dark Cloud

'Higher than average constitution' and a resistance to 'ailments' do not an immunity to crippling, lethal weather conditions make. If by 'ailments' you meant 'all status effects, including temperature' that warrants further investigation. As for timing, Laharl would have to throw his attention-catching tantrum after the other Seekers start to climb. Even if Flonne set out immediately, it would take her a long time to get over there. Maybe she could try flashing her healing field at Laharl to get his attention in return, and after a half hour or so they could meet one another halfway.

Edit: her field is also healing rather than any kind of shield, according to her sheet, so instead of protecting her from the cold at all it would only be able to heal the actual damage that the cold inflicts to her body, thereby slowing down the rate of her hypothermia.

World of Light

Yeah, that'd work. Hopefully she has a thick coat or three (or maybe just a great many 'borrowed' habits) and a stash of hot oil to keep her warm, because it is not at all a straight shot over to where the Seekers were. She'd have to climb up the mountain for bit, then move laterally a long way through the wind and cold and snow. The gateway to the Graveyard of the Peaks is at a higher elevation than the Convent.

World of Light

I don't feel like the sisters would particularly enjoy Flonne's presence once they realized that she's not on board with the whole "suffering as virtue" thing they've got going on in Cvstodia. It's probably very confusing for them, faith wise.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

That's a good point, unless in their zeal they're able to justify healing as allowing them to suffer even more.

Maybe that would lead to Flonne being a fugitive in the place, trapped with nowhere else to go and constantly hiding out from the Sisters who seek to hunt her down and burn her.

World of Light

In that case, she would just need some sort of reason as to why she would be able to suddenly leave the Convent to go on a long and perilous journey up the mountain. Or at least to where Laharl is, since that's what I assume you want. Contrivances being what they are, maybe she's taking a break from tending to the sisters' horrific burns and wounds through one of the Convent's deambulatories and sees Laharl throwing some kind of showy tantrum from far away with his powers, due to his anger and helplessness at the stubborn Seekers?

World of Light

What Master Hand does and doesn't do is governed by strict plans and rules. It is not the type for meaningless pranks. If anyone was just stuck on the mountain alone in the elements without gear or preparation the cold would almost certainly claim them. There are a lot more people that could use her love in Al Mamoon, or even Lumbridge, for instance.

However, there was one possibility I left open. The building that Midna spotted: the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage. It's essentially an abbey whose sisters worship a woman whose face was used as a likeness for divinity, but who burned her face with boiling oil as an act of piety to distance herself from such comparisons. Those who reside there, half-frozen by the cold and half-burned by the scorching lava that flows within, are extremely hostile, but since Flonne is an angel it's possible that they see her as a divine benefactor come to ease their pain. She may have come this way after hearing about it while in Tostarena or Al Mamoon, wanting to provide what comfort she could to a place suffused by suffering.

World of Light

@Lugubrious Also getting Flonne over to the CS section. Can she start on the mountain?

@Dark Cloud

That depends. Why would she be on the mountain, in such a hostile and unforgiving place, where no amount of love will overcome the callousness of wind, cold, and stone?

World of Light

In that case you're good to go. Once you put the character in the CS tab we can talk his outset in the PM.

@Lugubrious Just finished up my CS! Hope it's better or just as good as last time.

@XoXKieroBombXoX

Overall the sheet seems good, and acceptable in its current state. However, I feel like the personality section makes him seem a bit more cruel and one-dimensional than in MGR. Although he's suffering from PTSD and indeed has the persona of a bloodthirsty killer buried within, he's also committed to protecting the weak at all costs as a result of his past as a child soldier in Liberia. He's also something of a dork at times, such as with his 'disguise', being a bit of a weeb about samurai, and his fanboyism of Snake, and despite his troubles he's ultimately a good guy trying to do what he thinks is right, even if that demands sacrifice. Unless you're reinterpreting the character as more strictly edgy?
