Running plot, and maybe looking at new games

[amonfire]

You're under the misguided assumption that my intentions have not always been purely altruistic. That I will be returning to Republic City to open a private network between Future Industries former trading partners and the Old Kingdom is done out of nothing but the goodness in my heart. Not, as you so put it: "To let show snippets of what a horrible monster I truly am."

Is it despicable to repay a debt while indulging a little homesickness? It's not as though the city is still on fire, really. I could have done a lot of damage in my time between worlds. Just imagine all the harm wrought if my recent interest in the B.S.A.A. turned sour, and I let slip knowledge of something like the T-Virus. Just as an example, of course.

A friendly word of caution as your expand on my role. There is always something much, much worse out there.

Altruistic? More like sadistic.

[amonfire]

How very clever, though not by much coming from you.

you have excellent taste

[upset]

Says the coward hiding behind a mask. At least I'm not afraid to put a face to my words.

cheers

[amonfire]

You only harass unharmed civilians out of frustrations befitting a child and fail to grasp the nature of your purpose as our supposed spiritual leader in favor for your own self-image and personal interests.

But, please; continue to argue my moral fiber.

[upset]

[ Can't exactly argue with that. She already knows she doesn't live up to the other Avatars. But that still doesn't change the fact that he's crazy. ]

You ruin people's lives and call it charity! How does that make you a better leader?

[amonfire]

[ he is one nasty dude ]

How does acting only out of your own wounded pride make you a leader in any respect? I challenged what was corrupt and called it revolutionary.

[upset]

You think I've been doing all this out of pride?

[ ...well, it's not completely true, anyway. ]

The difference between me and you is that I'm trying to look out for everyone. Including your brainwashed followers.

we meet again

[disfavored]

Purely altruistic. Of course.

Tell me again about the unprovoked midnight raids on Dragon Flats. I'm all ears for this if we're going to start passing judgement.

[disfavored]

I made a mistake. At least I acknowledge that.

Do you honestly believe that everything you've done has been altruistic?

[amonfire]

You weren't seeking much for in the name of atonement until you lost all power to do anything about it.

I have faith in my own rhetoric. More than some of us can say.

[disfavored]

Because bringing you down would have been worth it. I wish you could understand.

Why did you bloodbend me, back when we were young? You defied our father only moments later when he tried to hurt me, but you were willing to hurt me under his orders. Explain that, if you will.

[amonfire]

If this really must come down to pain, then very well.

We were children, and this might have passed your notice then but as the eldest I was the one on the receiving end of his physicality at the end of the day. You never saw most of it, but I took enough of his blows to need to see you take one when that monster felt so slighted.

My triumphs were the only thing standing between you and something worse than what a fourteen year old boy could have done. Weak as he was.

[disfavored]

I don't mean to say that you had it any easier than I did. I understand that he was horrible to you, too, even if he didn't think you were worthless.

And I do appreciate you saving me from him. I really do.

But you were willing to hurt me then. And you were willing to hurt me again for the sake of your cause. If I had gone with you back then, would you have truly looked out for me? Or would you merely have protected me from everyone except yourself?

[amonfire]

I was willing to make the hard call between two evils. The same stands true for when, as you said, fate caused us to collide. You never wished to bloodbend again as I never wanted to see you twisted into what called itself a civil servant. What I did? I was coming to collect on an old wish.

When I left there wasn't a moment I hadn't wanted to turn back if just for you. There was no greater pain suffered for what it felt to not have you beside me. We've measured every action by what he did to us then and every day since I fled. Leaving you with him as I had? That is my failure, but there is nothing "mere" when it comes to how I love you still, brother.

[disfavored]

I didn't want to bloodbend again, but that didn't mean I wanted you to strip me of my bending completely.

I know you still love me. I may not like what you've become, but I still love you, too. It's his fault - not ours. But there was no way for us both to be happy. I would have had to arrest you had I won, and I can't imagine I'd fare any better had you won.

It was for the best that we both die together if we couldn't coexist.

What have you been hiding, Noatak?

[amonfire]

The gentle lie of omission.

[bindsthedead]

Omitting what? You- you're worse than Mogget when it comes to keeping secrets!

What could be worse than what you've already told me?

OOC : Heads up, A character from this OC's world sounds alot like Steve Blum/Amon so confusion ahoy.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[...That voice!

The young woman looks absolutely terrified for a brief moment. Not because she knows of you Amon or your blood-bending abilities but it's something alot worse, Something a little more personal to her. Plus you appear to be wearing a mask so who's to say you're not who she fears you might be underneath that thing.]

Like the world needs to be shown any more of how monstrous you can be.

[freakymayor]

If I was mayor of this place, I'd ensure that obvious terrorists like you were dealt with!

[flipkicking]

[is this what Jill gets for being a nice person 8( ]

There'd be some potential harm to be had, I'll give you that.

[iconpose

so much iconpose]

I'll assume that really is just an example, though.
