Siefer: I'm really enjoying him at the moment though I still worry that I've mellowed him too quickly. He's still kind of a dick but he's much more approachable now and while I can justify that to myself, (the bit we see him in canon is when he has no need or desire to make friends and is in a very tense situation, there's much less pressure on the Island then in an exam) it worries me a bit.
Anyway, I'm finding him really fun. Plans are afoot for him, too. I still want him to get laid (because he'd be incredibly bad and yet unjustifiably cocky about his 'skills' which I think could be hilarious to play out with the poor unsatisfied woman in question).
More long term, he's starting seeing visions for Fear Plot. The idea being he'll see his old boss from back home, Ultimecia, telling him all the stuff he secretly thinks about himself that he's being weak and childish to care what other people think and if he could only go back to using weapons and being powerful he'd be a real hero. Eventually he'll probably backslide because of this and ask for his gun-blade back (I kind of like the idea of him asking Cable for advice and Cable saying just completely the wrong thing, actually.) Then come Halloween, Ultimecia will turn up for real and try to convince him that the manly, hard choice for hard times thing to do is to kill all the hallucinating people and thus remove the dangerous hallucinations and save the majority.
At which point, after being tempted, he'll twig that Untimecia is a danger herself and so stab himself in an attempted suicide, thus achieving absolutely nothing because Ultimecia lied about that removing the hallucinations. Which is mean but one of the things that I want to do with him is keep him as someone reaching for a level of heroism he's not capable of. He shouldn't ever actually save the day, that's Zell's job.
Whether this will actually be fatal will depend upon how I'm feeling about him come October, but I think it could be a nice exit if it's his time.
Cable: Is very much on the backburner at the moment, as he has been for about a year if I'm honest. I enjoy his relationships with Rachel, Zell and Natalya a lot but he's not really making new ones. I might need to reread his canon or something, I dunno.
The big thing is his mother, which is a relationship I really can't ever got enough of. Both me and him are basically just waiting for that to kick off, now. Which should be really fun.
Future: I might actually make my reqs for once so this might be possible. That would be nice. Not sure on an entry point for Antimony though. Either the end of Fire Spike or the beginning of Microsat 5 I think.
