> > The void manipulation has probably become more prominent in her storyline than you first expected, so much so that her void folding has become her defining power with the other elemental stuff hardly ever being used. Hence it's probably time to start looking at what and how that came about.
|
> That's easy. It's because she's a natural at using Void, while she has to learn how to use her elemental power more effectively.
|
> It's either a question of how she became a void manipulator on her own, or why she was chosen. The latter is by far a darker question.
|
It's certainly an interesting question to explore at some point.
> > I imagine she'll [Lara] be listening closely to the conversations that go on around CSFB!'s actions.
|
> She'll be watching. If CSFB! is given enough cold shoulders or lectures and does his losing his temper and leaving the Lair Legion thing, she's likely not to say much about her own fears. If they accept it and deal with it she might be a little more brave, but still a little worried - after all, she's not a Lair Legion member and has very little history with the team.
|
How would any of the team be aware of what Lara did in that other place anyhow? The only ones who might have tracked the full goings-on were probably Salieri and Samantha - and maybe Search Engineer.
> Faite is more a manipulator than a fighter, because she knows what kind of damage she's capable of, and exactly how dangerous it is.
|
It's because the Parodyverse is regulated and protected at a macro level that the Carnifex has been sent in "below the radar".
> Lara has a very long list of people who have tried [to neutralise her]. That "smart" part is going to give him a lot of trouble. He may have to settle for trying to give her a reason not to interfere - that seems to work for the Hooded Hood.
|
The Carnifex plans a very different camoaign in a very different style to the Hood. The cowled crime czar is a schemer who likes to turn people's strengths and actions against them. Carnifex is a hunter who stalks then strikes. He wouldn't feel satisfied without a bloody confrontation at the end.
> > But not yet, because she's easy on the eye. The Carnifex isn't in any hurry to finish his mission. He's still having fun playing in the Parodyverse.
|
> One interesting fact about this is that Lara may decide to try and visit him and have a chat once she's made aware of his presence.
|
She's welcome to call in at his iron Esqualine Tower anytime for a brew. After all, everyone knows the Carnifex. They're just prevented from wondering why or from thinking of awkward questions.
The Untold Tales story after the current Caphan arc may well deal with this.
