[QUOTE="Naoki00_, post: 6082216, member: 99243"] Well she's suppose to be a centric character, as are the other 'Pirate Lords' and a few of the main movers in the State as well. The PC's are going to be the focus of the story, and while not the most powerful people in the world are going to have one of the largest parts in it, Vrilisa is meant more to start shaking things up and getting everyone in the same place, then provide choices and options through out the story based on how the PC's act toward her, the crew, the world, etc. I'd imagine that if they DO choose to fight against her that I'd not want them able to kill her more for story reasons as without her around at the end (at least how I have things structured) they would never be able to win in the end as I plan to have her sacrifice herself to weaken the 'end boss' enough that they can even hope to beat it, otherwise. IF they do side against her then I see one of two things happening 1- they just don't have a hope and she wastes them, but doesn't kill them and instead merely throws them out of her crew (she's honorable and not totally ruthless) or 2- their able to beat her, but she manages to escape, I see this happening not because she's my character, but more because in this plot she's not supposed to die until the end and if she does well then things won't go over well later lol. Heck she's likely not going to adventure with them since she's the ship captain and will instead have other matters to attend to. If anyone has any thoughts on this idea as well please feel free to add those thoughts in as well. [/QUOTE]
