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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

I'm beginning to think that besides with Shiva and arguably Heart, my old chara has left more of a negative legacy than not, but if that's the case, nothing I can do about it anymore. I'd say that Ven would ardently and firmly staying out of the way of any activity the group is involved in for now, and only check in on them via Shiva/Terra seldomly, so whatever impact on the plot will be minimized. He wasn't kidding when he said that he was through with adventuring, and he still needs plenty of time to fully destress and recover from all the hectic, mystical stuff he had to endure....

One of Ven's defining characteristics is that he just never gives up , even in the face of constant adversity or it seems like it. If the world/Cheshire is a more magical place than he first realizes, he'll find a way to adapt, persevere, and carry on, even if that way isn't the most healthy or 'good' . If he managed to endure losing his whole family and taking care of himself from early adolescene onwards, he can better manage having more supernatural stuff happening in his life......someday.

And yet now he knows just how 'unnatural' the world and Creshire can really be first hand.  And the lurches are still following him, too.  It doesn't seem to me like something he'll be able to forget, and I've seen little to no evidence that he'll be able to cope with that any time soon.  Hence my concern.

Honestly, I rarely, if ever, got that impression from him, so forgive me if I remain skeptikal about that character trait.
