1. I was informed that some bullies can reform and become normal people. Maybe even heroes, like with James Potter. Potter senior became a good person for being worthy for Lily Evans (later Lily Potter, AKA Harry's mother). Do you think the said asshole scapegoat became a better person, whether for a girl who made a man out of him or other reasons? I know it doesnt help you if he did. Just wondered if being bashed by life and realizing the world is far less tolerant to his crap than school was made him into a normal human being. Also, i have an on and off therapist who's rumored by someone i love dearly to be nice to me as a patient, but harsh and demaning to her husband (and maybe young daughters). If the rumors are true (i choose to give her the benefit of the doubt), then she might be a future version of Charlize. She's disgusted from Charlize, either for seeing her as too evil for her own standards, or for hypocrisy. Does it means Charlize is nice to her patients while still being mean to her non-patients fellow humans? That's the best explaination i have to why she's taking care of an autistic child despite being ruthless. I won't ever be her friend again, but i'm open to the possibility that life will knock the personality disorder out of her. Assuming, of course, she's willing and able to take care of herself in the deep sense of the world. I dont care about her anymore. Just hope she aint a Jill (not every bad person is a Jill) and still have a fraction of something other than viciousness inside of her. Is it legit to hope such a thing?

2. I know you know RWBY much better than i do, but i'm not sure about how much of a cruse are Ozpin's immortality. He seems to enjoy it very much. If he had a daughter, do you think he would've sacrificed her like the comics Ras did, or loved her like the Nolanverse Ras did? When you say that the RWBY's gods are assholes, you mean they are like Adam/Cinder, like the villains in "Dark Seraphs"/"Xylus", or just like what the real world's god could be if he/she was real?

3. Xylus isn't based on Harry Potter, but Toxo's similarity to Voldemort makes me wonder if you took some insperation from Harry when you wrote it. One of the scariest aspects about Toxo is that seeing himself as a god isn't that far-fetched. The possible god in our world is too much like Toxo. If that was your intent, then you have another deep and interesting theological satire here :-). Dane is also kinda similar to Douglas. Does it means Douglas was also a tortured outcast? Not justifying this cold-hearted bastard. Just considering the possibility, as there are some pure evil villains who had a hard life. Good movie with making Shi honorable. I wish real-life religion authority figures would condemn rapist like Shi does. Is Xylus agnostic or existentialist? Abigile start out as nihilist from what i recall.

4. Jane will most likely be at the same age Angel was when her parents and the rest of "Hand Of Genesis" imployees were murdered by Martin and Julian. Now, your idea for Rodrick as a slave traffickers sounds interesting and similar to an idea of my own. In my possible direction, Rodrick will abduct the children of his rivals and use them for his own ends. abduct the children of his rivals. He already did it with Rex Black, when he seemingly killed the black Al Capone and took away his son Forest, so he might do the same with other rivals. At least in Forest's case, the story will heavily imply that Rodrick absued him for a long time. Rodrick's position as a police chief will hide the mental-emotional abuse and the tatoos covering Forset's body will hide the scars caused by the physical abuse. Joining this idea with your idea of selling some of the stolen childrens is just what might make Rodrick as repulsive and revolting as it gets. Another challenge comes from Martin's direction. On one hand, being obssessed about Gloria to the point of helping Julian kill Henry and sending America into another ice age might mark him as pure evil. On the other hand, i still might need to give him redeeming qualities due to the jacked-up villainy standard. In earlier drafts, i planned him as a PETA activist. Know all of those die hard "animal lovers" (TV Tropes calls them "animal wrongs group")? So Martin was just like them. He literally saw Henry's wish to create medications out of the dinosaurs, as well as necessary procedures such as controlling their breeding, meticulous study and keeping the creatures inside cages so they won't hurt the employees, as animal abuse. Henry and Gloria were good to him, but he still have something personal against them, both in the current scenario and in the draft. The possibility he'll be an extremist doesn't contradict his socipathy, obssession toward Gloria and problematic behavior (heavy smoker, outrageously drunk,  untreated dyslexia and ADHD). Will using this draft make him redeemable, or just make him pure evil from another direction?

5. Off topic: Just created the article for Roland Tembo in the heroes wiki. But this time, i did it all by myself. Not wanna be arrogant, but i'm proud of myself. Every person who watched "The Lost World" knows just how awesome Tembo is and how much he deserves to be in the heroes wiki.

Back to topic: Currently, the only stories that might be connected are the ones with Hawarged (AKA "Mankind Reloaded") and Armada (AKA "Royal Solitude"), with the possibility that the former is the prequel to the latter. Now, another type of leader i can add to "Neimerhold 2" is someone like Tembo. Many JP fans consider him as one of the best characters in the franchise, largely because he was serious and showed more humanity than many protagonists. Ludlow and Nick Van Owen could've kill everybody with their callous stupidity if it wasn't for Tembo. The scene where he pulled the heroes group up the cliff was epic. If i add him to Neimerhold, he'll be a human, even if kinda different from his canon version. I might use some of his elements for Alister, but the possible Tembo character will be human. Do you see him as a survivors settlement leader, or more like a hyper-competent enforcer who call the last shot in the camp? And how do you visualize his enforcer/leader?
