 Having Tata as a playable character is actually pretty cool! And I see how the "coward-to-bravery" theme can develop along the lines of moral compass (though somehow, this reminds me of Jacuzzi Splot from Baccano). Perhaps Tata then becomes the "idealist" whom Pike admires eventually? In either case, his strong (yet naive) moral sense may still be his undoing, as the "second chance" may give the enemy enough opportunity to go in for the kill. Think about it -- battle against Mother Brain, but before delivering the last blow, Tata gives her the chance to apologize, which she does. Then she wipes him out.  :lol:

No, this is no criticism. I actually think this would be an interestingly dangerous dabble (which is really tempting): If Tata breaks due to his naivety he'd turn into a "darker" variation of Pike (something which often happens in real life with such people), but if Tata survives with his moral compass intact it leads him to be a brave Knight Captain.

I hadn't even considered that Tata's idealist nature would truly endanger him at a moral level but it really could! Those who offer their hearts and get hurt  tend to become rather twisted. Tata really could go dark and that'd be very fun to toy with.



--- Quote ---"Kill, or be killed" is something that the Knights of Guardia are taught ever since they are Squires (as Tata starts off). But Tata proves that those who can offer their enemies mercy and STILL survive their backlash are probably the strongest warriors to ever live -- not only do they have control over their swords and are ready to trust, but are capable of defending against the worst betrayals. And eventually, this holy faith over the people builds him great opportunities from the world itself, as people come from all directions just to help!
(And who is to say Tata didn't inspire them?)

At the same time, Tata offers plenty of contrasts to Pike, clashing idealism with realism, faithful vs cynicism, morality vs duty-bound, etc. Much like Suzaku and Lelouche from Code Geass! But would these differences, in some point in time, make them enemies at some point, only to join forces again to stop a common enemy?

Ooh, Crono and co as bad guys? I'm in!  8)

Hmm now I'm not sure which way to go but i'm having a lot of fun considering the possibilities. Tata does offer many contrasts to Pike. I could see them having a 'love/hate realtionship' and they could become enemies so easily. What would be truly ironic is if they did become enemies but in the end it was Tata who became darker and Pike who became lighter.

I might have to finally write and flesh this out haha!

 Yeah the whole idea started about 5 years ago when I was sitting staring at all the projects going on in Kajar labs at the time and I was like I want a game where the main bosses are Crono and company. I want them to be the bad guys. And I want all the playable characters except like one to be actual bad guys. - The idea has developed since then but still I think if I really started working I might have something tangible.

Dooooooooooo it!

Maybe it'll be complete, maybe not, but it'll still be helluva fun to discover! Whether or not it takes off as a fan-fic, I can still guarantee you that it can be scavanged into an original IP which you can profit from (much like how Ashen Ray's Ragnarok Online fanfic turned into a marvelous original story called Carciphona, which people love her for). If nothing else, the fanfic could still be an experimentation ground for concepts, which you can eventually merge with your existing novels.  :wink:
