[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Indeed! I just wonder one thing: Since this timeline we are playing is a alternative timeline, this means is Reiner did get his revenge against the Dragon Council? Or this is multiverse shenanigans and that event never happen and he became some sort of great Dragon Master? Maybe he never joined Team Rocket, and actually was able to destroy the corruption in the Council, and forge some kind of alliance with the Sutalor and the other regions?

I know I problably going crazy here, but I actually very curious too about these possible events. As for Arial, I am curious too, but I guess he is just doing silly things by now. Problably raising a family with Riza. Oooor knowing my mad cat boy, maybe he is enjoying a crazy trip though out the multiverse with his family with his Solgaleo. Since, you know, Ultra Space Lion bat shit?

I can't exactly confirm or deny Reiner's existence in the Wild Lands verse. Not cause of spoilers, but because I never really....thought about integrating CCV into my narrative. Sure, their are some allusions and repeated/shared elements between verses, but ultimately I never sat down and went 'Right, this is or is not Canon between these Worlds' .

Perhaps an Alt Version of him did exist at some point and passed away - considering that CCV happened who knows how long before the OG Plot of Fire Red/Lead Green and Skull Ruins exists decades after the batch of Heroes from that era did their thing, he would be very dead unless he got himself a Pseudo, Legend, or otherwise. Perhaps he's still kicking around due to gaining some Power to Persist. Perhaps enough similarities exist between the two verses that a hypothetical WLs Reiner would have similar beef with the Dragon Council and Team Rocekt and do something about it. Perhaps he was radically different, never having the same Moment that turned him into an Anti-Hero and, eventually, a redeemed man.

Point is, I never made anything in my campaign to contain actual content from CCV besides general ideas and mechanics, and at this point I can confidently say I'm not planning to bar some truly Strange Fortune Shenanigans. In other words, I'm pulling Schrodinger's Meowth on that matter - whether the topic is opened again and is 'dead' or 'alive' is uncertain.


However Arial is actually easier for me answer, simply because of the fact that, with Gaspar becoming a Solgaleo that will eventually become a Full Power Legend AND having gained a PD that ALLOWED Interuniversal Travel/Planeswalking , CCV Arial has and will eventually become a Semi-Immortal Planeswalker with his brothers, his girlfriend, and slave in Waifunized Necrozma (Remember them? I sure do!) . Either by choice out of a desire to see everything Existence has to offer, or because certain events and consequences more or less force him to scram. CCV Alice immediately springs to mind being just one BIG driving factor for him to eventually leave the CCV-verse entirely - though how much good that will do him in the long run....well, Alice is Alice, and Alice is Alice. 

Honestly, if you hadn't chosen to make a new PC for Wild Lands I'd probably offer for you to use Arial as a Legacy Character in WLs . Would had to nerf or heavily tool your Team to fit in the standards of the verse - maybe Solgal-Gasper gets Depowered upon entering the verse due to Engima's Fuckery, CCV Mons being changed by the exposure, etc. - but I could have made it work. As it stands, though, Arial is currently traveling the Multiverse with his family, and he and them having the time of his life on the wacky adventures he finds himself in so far as I'm concerned.

You know, it's hilarious to think that despite being on the back foot in terms of Power for most of CCV's run Arial more or less ended up the stronger and freer of the two PCs of the campaign....though that's only accounting for personal power. If we factor in all the Friends Reiner has on tap and the Interest he Attracted from several Legends of Note....well, it's hard to say, really.
