Character break-down
Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2004 3:26 pm
Post basically your summary and what you've figured out about each character.
Rhue:
Rhue's weird. You notice he's becoming "softer" or more emotional, but at the same time, he's become a real hard-ass. He kills Lexus, moans about how he regrets it. Then he ignored Cetsa dying, killed Lyrra and had the audacity to make fun of Strata who was greiving to hell about it.
If you watch, Rhue's slowly acting more and more like the game's anti-hero. He does good things, but he's going to step over everyone to do it.
Gaius:
Gaius is just as weird. We know one thing: He's Kalmar's perfect blade. He pulled strings to get the Guided to fight. Here's what we see he's done:
-He consults with Velucia almost constantly, where they trash-talk Sacrifa
-He arrives at the Shadow Lord hideout after Jopaga dies, and relates them with Sacrifa. (MAYBE Sacrifa would use the formula to shift Lilah's soul to another body?)
-He knows Entrego's true identidy. What does this mean? I think it means he employed Entrego to force the Vigilante against Sacrifa and his guided. Not to mention he employed the Aristotzi. Gaius blames the entire fiasco on Sacrifa.
-Lead the REBEL forces he so hearity tried to outcast. (Sacrifa notes "The Man from Xor will lead our forces", and Gaius is from Xor, or says he is)
-Is OBVIOUSLY related to the deaths of those same rebel forces (He's in the damn cave, right by the massacre! I mean Rhue thought Tetzel killed them all and went in)
-Claims to be on NEITHER side of the Guided/Rebel war (Indicating he's playing both ends)
-Is a Blood Lyn
-Was allowed to leave the Dalhara grounds uncontested. Kalmar seems to have let him go. Trazuin notes Gaius must be Kalmar's perfect blade. This doesn't mean much until we note the Blood Lyn HATE the Guided.
He exists to totally destroy the Guided. In short, even though I think the Guided suck, Gaius is acting like one huge mofo. Also, there's one question: Why did he fake injury in Chapter 1 and run off even later? He's flighty as hell, and he has a connection with Rhue.
Trazuin
Traziun's pretty much set in stone: He kicks ass, he takes names, and he's sharp. Nothing can defy that. Otherwise, he's probably going to hunt whoever REALLY killed his mother. The biggest mystery with him is: who?
Rhue- Possible, and it sucks to know. Rhue can't die, so Trazuin has to if this happens. Trazuin is the only person Rhue can really trust, and is his best friend. Lun would be pulling out one heart-wrenching fight to make this work.
Gaius- IMO, the MOST possible, not because it logically shocks Trazuin. He knew who Gaius was, never met him before he met Rhue, and he knows Kalmar let him leave. What makes him the most likely is Kalmar watched his wife die and didn't do anything to stop it. So it's someone he both knew, and possibly planned with. Gaius was Kalmar's "Perfect Blade", so Kalmar would've gone through every length to make his training both perfect and without fear. Gaius kills without fear as I stated, so he probably staged this as a test to get rid of Gaius' guilt.
Trazuin himself! - Hah hah, no. I'll shut up now
Also, remember Traziun knew Gaius and Rhue for about the same length of time, so he had just as much of an ability to make a friend out of him as he did Rhue
Kalmar
IMHO the best character so far. This guy is a true villain. Too bad he was killed... He pulls more strings than Gaius (He pulls Gaius), he's the Black-freaking-Lyn. He's taking down the Guided, he seems to know about many Shadow/Illuminati swords (He can identify them just by touching/being hit with them). He's also one of the best warriors ever. He seems to be totally sadistic too (He lets the heroes duke it out for fun). Finally, he has his OWN FORTRESS ON ANOTHER DIMENSION. I mean COME ON!
Tetzel
This guy is villain material. He's a Guided, so he's probably a jackass. He also killed the closest thing to a forerunner: Eyashu. He did it to protect the secret of the End of the Way (From what we can see: There is no end. The Way is a circular path.) So what does this mean? He knows people don't need to worry about settling, he knows there isn't any real mist swallowing up the back of the Way. He also employs the PS to enforce protection of this. He knows who the PS is. And hopefully he knows more about the Upper Way, since he happens to live on a mountain and is very knowledgable.
Sacrifa
Another awesome character. He wants to reveal the secret about the End of the Way. He probably settled in Estrana because he knows that, and he didn't have to worry. He destroyed a damn city out of revenge. This guy is cool in a good/bad way. His last words before he did his demon thing was "The lord of the pits is too eager", which leads me to think he's going to have to pay him back, and play a HUGE role in things to come. He's not a bad guy, he's probably going to be posessed or taken over in some way, and become a villain. Or help Rhue out and get killed. Either way, he's NOT dead yet.
Any ideas?
