Darn. And I was hoping running out of story may not be the only reason.

> Liu Xi is currently denied access to her powers. I thoguht it would give a nice chance for her to show that she's more than her abilities and can handle things by being smart, tough, and brave too.

She's one that I didn't count as dead.
> Yuki's damaged but not down. Famously so. She's ready for her big last stand. Kirk's already got some plans for his.

As part of the Lair Legion that's supposed to eventually line up, I purposely didn't count her as she may be needed on a different plot line for the final story.
> Chiaki's not dead. She's just got the problem of dealing with freefall from a high altitude without a parachute. Of course, that could very easily equate to dead by default if you want it to.

That sounds pretty dead. But we'll see how inspired I am.
> Lara's not dead, but she's hurt. Doorman triggered an artifical heart attack and she's in critical condition. Yuki or any other character could still save her, and Lara might even still be able to return the favour somehow.

Heart attacks are usually deadly within a minute or two...normally. I put her in the "dead" category because I wasn't sure if you had a reason to keep her there.
But there's something Doorman forgot, or maybe he didn't do his research. Human as she is, Lara isn't a one-trick-pony, exactly, as she can heal herself rapidly as long as she isn't outright obliterated.
If her timing is right, she has lots more tricks up her sleeve, too - as passive as she is most of the time, she has made it clear that back home she's been a super-hero for a couple years. She had to have survived on more than just bolts of lightning during that time.
> Anna's in a bad way, having been hit by the equivalent of a high speed train then getting mangled by Dominator; but she's been established as a sophisticated android and even seperation of her body parts might not stop her as it would Yuki.
|
Right now she's in the dead category, but she also contains thousands of repair nanobots (wouldn't do to build a multi billion dollar war machine that can be destroyed with a few bullets would it?). Nobody has tested how fast their are.
> It's really how you want to play it and which characters you feel inspired to write about. And it's all optional.

We'll see. I don't want to end up writing something that wanders without a point, so I'd have to have a story come to me first. Something people will want to read, too.
> > If not, though, Faite is going to become very annoyed that all of Chiaki's and Yuki's plans keep resulting in all of them being dead, which means extra work for her. She might be at a point where she may suggest that fighting is just not working out. As an entity, she's survived all this time in the Parodyverse by knowing when not to fight, even if it means losing big, and she may decide to share some of that wisdom with those she resurrects.

> Faite might realise at this point that somebody is watching to see what she does and how she does it - testing her.

The Hooded Hood is laughing at this point then. He's been trying to test Faite for years and got nowhere. She particularly hates being tested, and will probably behave completely different from normal just to play to the audience.
> > And now you know why Faite hasn't tried to destroy The Moderator (she has tried to annoy him though). She knows it's far too risk, that her as-of-yet-still-unknown-to-us purpose is too important to the Parodyverse to risk dying senselessly, fighting the dictator-of-the-year.

It gives her perspective, having to be around for millennia. People like the Parody Master and The Moderator are just bumps in the road.
