[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Quite frankly, though, I don't want this mindset of 'he's a 'demon dog,' so he must be horrible' to continue indefinitely.  That's going to be terrible to try and play around, and we all know that.  Orthros isn't going anywhere, and there's plenty of opportunity for Ventus to be proven wrong in the future.  Be it from Raphael, Shiva, or another source.  Or multiples of those sources.

Togekiss also 'bring blessings to those who respect others' rights and avoid needless strife.'  If Ventus is treating Orthros like dirt all the time, that conflict is bound to come up eventually regardless.

I'll just say this on the subject: Orthros CAN become a friendly entity in Ven's eyes, but its going to take a loooooong time (Years) and/or extraordinary effort to accomplish that, so the easier path is just have Ven learn to bottle up/hide his animosity towards them. Keep in mind that he has legitimate fears not to trust them, and he's not got the highest faith in Nathan's ability right now, so the best way to get him to better tolerate them is somehow to get Shiva to force the issue.

If it becomes an issue, then Raphael gets traded away. Simple, easy, done. I'll miss them, and Ven will be devastated by this, but its in both our best interest to learn and let go in that probably instance...
