White shall restore my honor =)
Well one down, three to go.
That's a rather uncivilised approach.
@White Masquerade
Suddenly I've remembered, what is your honest assessment of Rei's capabilities as both a leader and a defender of her peoples given all information about her?
Just now, White Masquerade said:
Ha-ha. Sometimes being civilized just doesn't cut it for some things.
O.K. There are many types of leaders and Rei falls into the Ghandi-type. People like Martin Luther King Jr and those that prefer non-violence but have a deep message. As a leader she does well standing up for what she believes in and supporting her ideals. It is a very powerful will to stick by what you say and continue to hope what you wish for. It's extremely commendable. Her people trust her and things seem to be working well. Hato is flourishing and the town is happy. However, there comes a second part to the puzzle and that's where I feel she sorely lacks. As a defender for the people, she just doesn't have that grit you need to make the tough decisions. She is too rosy-eyed/ignores the ugliness of things. Hato No Tochi is still intact because she hasn't been challenged. If the Voi decided to attack, how willing would she be to kill Raven? Or give up some of her country's rights to form a pact of protection with another nation? Would she be willing to give up Hato's Independence to align with Tainan for help? Is she capable of being shady or taking another person's life to save the majority? Rei's geniality is commendable, but there are truly despicable humans in the world and that'd smile and shake her hand while stabbing her in the back with the other. Rei herself is immortal, though she doesn't take into consideration that those around her aren't. Decisions she makes won't hurt her, but they will hurt those she loves. <--- And until Rei takes that into consideration with everything she does, in my opinion, she cannot be a really good protector for Hato No Tochi. She still needs that wake up call. Much like the one Maika and Dove went through. Whether she comes out of it good or bad is anyone's guess.
Not sure if you're enough of an Avatard to make a Zuko reference or just coincidence.
It was a zuko reference. Narutards are worse than any kind in any fandom =P Besides Fairy tail.
That or the mythical people who think Bleach was consistently good.
We all have different taste.

@GasMaskie
I got Gundam + Power Rangers vibe. Now THAT is a good Mech combination I can support (looks at Macross)
Bleach has amazing lore they just dropped the ball on it after Aizen. The Espadas could have been brilliant if they gave each the same time they put into Ulquiorra. Bankai. Quincy. Menos Grande. The first parts of Bleach had me absolutely CAPTIVATED. I still drool over Byakuya and his beautiful Senbonzakura.
Then...I dunno what happened after all that.

Aahhhh the white emptiness is blinding!!
Not I. Have to be an actual GM now *salutes*
Lol, fun, mind if I make another NPC? I'm thinking not even like Rei or the Memoriam, just a bit of an obnoxious git that shows up once or twice in opposition to Timuga, such as the intro I was thinking of having for him.
The kindness displayed by her and Hato no Tochi as a whole coupled with their isolated location make them a highly unlikely target for attacks to begin with, but if they did need help, unless the countries they've aided prove to be honourless fools, I can't imagine that they would find themselves alone in an attempt at defence either.
@Kinzu Hekmatyar
....Han dies? What? Why? ;-;
Chiaki will protect Han from anyone who tries to attack her!
From what I understand, Tai Release counters Wuji Release, so if anyone can cure the effect of Jinan's curse, it's a practitioner of Tai. Or maybe one of the kids wanting to be medic-ninjas will find a cure eventually. Hana's also working on it. So don't give up... D:
@White Masquerade
lol. Rudy's not much of a chivalrous knight is he?
People who hate Rei. People who are jealous of the Land of Dove. People who dislike the ideals of the Land of Dove. People who want the chakra-ful resources of the Land of Dove for themselves. There are many possible reasons why the Land of Doves would be targeted. Unless an alliance is actually negotiated, the countries the Land of Dove donates to may or may not choose to help the sub-nation, simply because doing so is a risk for themselves. Kindness isn't always returned. And most normal people don't take risks without good reason. True honor isn't actually that common...and even then, there are many different codes of honor.
Shinsei, for example, has his own sense of honor...of sorts. ¬¬
Nao visits because he likes the sharks. And because the boat rides there are free =)
Still have things tucked up my sleeves =P
Besides, no one has wanted to discuss things like that with me even though I've proposed them a number of times =/ Either the idea of writing trade and truce agreement meetings is boring or people just don't want to be bothered with it at the moment.
@QuirkyAngel
Haha. Can't really say much on that now. You will just have to see how things unfold.
@Pequeno Burraidh
You have to sweeten the pot. Quirkstar is correct. What's the benefit of partnering with a nation centered on peace and refuses to fight/kill? From the other person's view, that country is a handicap if anything were to really break out you know?
