    Azazel is the part of Valor's mind where he buried what happened, the truth, how he was somehow behind what happened

    That doesn't seem quite right though, too simple

    Also, I don't know why I keep calling him Valor. Well, it's easier to type than Ultimatum I guess

    when i speak of him

    i use valor to talk about who he was before the war, when he was a superhero

    and ultimatum to talk about when he became ruler of the world

    basically when he started calling himself ultimatum

    within the game, some people talk about the two names like they belong to differnet people

    some people believe they are different people!

    some believe valor never came back from the anathema dimension.

    Crius seems different. He's just a typical warlord, etching out his small piece of territory and being content with his "titan-like" power.

    If Crius were to go, sure greece would probably need major overhaul, but his death probably wouldn't bring about an end of the world type scenario. Just a quick replacement.

    Crius is the type of Goon you can go after, he's the "Superman" archetype that's okay to take down.

    If anything, killing Crius would grease the wheels of change some. A sort of "You're not invincible in that tower of yours" sort of gesture.

    Haha, I GET IT.

    i'm a dude who's big on symbolism

    so it's all over my fictional works

    numerical and alphabetical symbolism. colors. philosophical concepts. math. (i am huge math dork)

    there's a lot to pick up on if you look closely

    but

    there's also stuff that's just random or coincidental

    seperating them is a challenge.

    Someone convince me that staying with the "Boogeyman" character is a good idea.

    I keep thinking about my alternate back-up character "Epitome" the new titan, he'd be a new guardian, and he could share issue crossovers with Crius, and maybe a cameo by Valor himself. Plus, there's the constant struggle he has to go through in hoping that no one discovers that he's actually magical in nature, and all the discrimination that comes with that. So he has to always "pass" as a mutant.

    It's come down to do I want a noir as hell character who will mostly likely be reduced to delegating the dark alleys and never really coming into contact with any of the worlds more important players.

    Or playing as the super-powered golden boy who'd rub elbows with the elite, but, he'd be a new guardian and he'd refuse to kill people and I'd have to play as a goody goody.

    Someone help me choose between them!

    Exactly

    That show down is pretty much the main reason I wanna play him.

    And you know Crius would either hate him out of a sense of competition, or embrace him as one of his own.

    Ultimatum hates Crius so much

    Cobalt's much closer to being a true arch-nemesis (Ultimatum's old arch-nemesis was Marcus Lassiter) but god he despises Crius.

    Not just because he's one of those annoying magic shitheads

    Or claims he's a god.

    But mostly because Crius represents what Ultimatum doesn't ever want to be and hates in all leaders.

    And he never really steps to on the Titan because he's not sure if he can win.

    That lack of certainty doesn't sit well with the world-ruler.
