Inb4 Lillie is a carbon copy of Catherine, personality-wise... And with Se7en on hold, we won't even be able to say, "we did it first" ;-;

DA's links do that, reupload your thing to Imgur before posting it here. We had that problem with literally every artwork for Pokemon Se7en before.

When asking for advice, you might want to explicitly state this kind of stuff from the get go. It completely changes my understanding of the situation, you know. So, if she is Death, there are some questions that need answering: does she still do her job as Death, while busy with whatever the plot is about? If so, how does she get the two sides of her life to coexist? If not, why did she leave her job, and what kind of consequences were there because of her doing so? I think answering these questions will put you on the right track: maybe a cool twist might be to put the spotlight on the fact that she genuinely respects the value of life. After all, who can understand the value of something, better than the one in charge of ending it? She knows how much each and every one of us has to live. Thus, she knows the exact worth of each life: this cannot teach her compassion, as that would be against her job description, but it can very well teach her respect. Just an idea: other possible ones include the cold, detatched professional, the conflicted empath, or the perky goth executioner. Recommended read which would help you immensely: Mort by Terry Pratchett.

Well Synthetic Rose does have a point in that a condition is never THAT specific. Instead of being incapable of feeling sad about a loss, the girl should have some kind of issue or condition that blocks off said feeling as a side-effect. Like Elektra of Daredevil fame, who is so hardened by her training she cannot shed a tear even when her dad is murdered in front of her, or Sapphire from Disgaea 3, who is physically unable to cry and beats herself up because of it. Basically, I am suggesting thay you depict this condition as a wide, complex set of causes and effects, and not as a convenient plot device.

A formula is what makes a game franchise recognizable, and keeps the fans coming. Rejuvenating a formula is one thing (it's what we were trying to do with Se7en, before it went the way of the dodo), but getting rid of it entirely? Allow me to answer your question with a question: if they announced that the next Fire Emblem will have a Tron-like futuristic setting with a cyber vampire as protagonist, what would your reaction be?

Thank you all guys! You have no idea how much this means to me

<.<

Thank you guys, this means a lot to me

I just wanted to indulge in a little personal thing, I know it's selfish to use the forum this way, but please forgive me. See, in just 2 days a very important national festivity will start. Exactly 70 years ago, on june the first, a referendum was held, calling the people of Italy, who had recently been freed from fascism, to decide on the future of the country. It was the first time everyone aged 18 or older could vote, without distinctions of gender and social class. The next day, on june the second, the results came in: as per popular decision, the king (who had made it possible for Mussolini to seize power to begin with) was ousted, and Italy became a full-fledged republic for the first time in its history. My grandpa, who died today, was among the people who made that fateful day possible. He was exactly my age back then: the retreating nazis and the fascists still loyal to Mussolini were fighting the advancing Allied Forces, who had invaded Sicily and were marching northwards, literally palm by palm, and they had built a fortified line to stop the advance of the Americans literally across my native valley which, given its position in the exact middle of the country, held strategic significance. My grandpa had seen his dad, a notorious socialist, beaten up by the fascists multiple times, so when the news came in, he knew it was time for action: he went up to the mountains and became part of a guerrilla brigade, which helped the Americans break through the nazi lines. This technically makes him a traitor and a diserter, but considering that the people he betrayed were nazis and fascists, and considering that his actions led directly to my country becoming a republic, I am as proud of him as I could be. While it is sad that he died just two days short of the national festivity held to remember and honor him and the thousands like him, I like to think that this celebration is for him. Goodbye grandpa, I can only wish I had a tenth of your courage.
