Decisions of Import (Nitoichi fiction)

I said I'd post the story I wrote for my OU writing course, and this is it, slightly tweaked. It's now a few hundred words over the limit that was set, but there were a couple of little bits I cut for length which, I feel, add to the narrative. You'll notice there's no actual reference to CoH in here, aside from the characters, which are mine from Union.

Timeframes: The flashbacks take place in January 2010. The 'now' bit of the story has not happened yet, it should be fairly obvious that it's a lead up to Going Rogue and will happen sometime around the release of that.

I've converted this to a PDF and linked it here since I hate having to reformat long stories for the forum, and because the story deals with some adult themes, so only click on the link if you're mature enough to deal with post-watershed TV.

I'm not sure whether what I saw was the whole thing...because I had no idea that had anything remotely to do with CoH or Going Rogue. I saw 3 pages. No idea where the "fairly obvious that it's a lead up to Going Rogue" came from XD



Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Good stuff, Birdy. Well written.
And some of us at least get how it ties into GR. One of my characters will be walking the same sort of line, although without the little voice behind his eyes, heh.

Well, I guess you have to know Annette/Nitoichi is a hero, not that she has ever described herself as one. Given the game, and the fact that she's arguing about arrest rather than execution, I thought that was obvious in context.

You also have to understand that heroes don't kill people in CoH, they operate by police rules, they do not take the law into their own hands. Going Rogue will give you the opprtunity to turn Vigilante, deciding that your view of what justice is is more important than the legal view. Ultimately, if you keep that up, you become a Villain. All that information is available on the forums; check my thread from HeroCon.

It does probably help if you know the characters, but in many ways, this was written for the GG RP community who had to put up with Annette hanging about the statue for almost a year.


And thanks, Techy. It's about 75% well written, according to the marking.

Meh, most teachers these days know very little. That's why they're stuck being teachers. 88%

I did wonder. Similarly fixed. Weird that the sig-block graphics are still working, but weird is par for the course, I guess.
