I write this missive on the eve of a grand undertaking. My success is almost certain, but should I fail, I must insure my tale is spared in some other way.
If you are reading this, I suspect you are seeking the reason behind my future actions – a siege upon Rouen. You are likely a citizen of that viper's nest; I once lived there, as did the lord who rescued me from my miserable existence. It is for his sake that I embark upon this endeavor.
Thirty years ago, the Evil Seed descended upon this city, dooming those it touched. The one man who could have stood against its insidious infection – he even bore the name of angels! - was cruelly exiled, but in his benevolence he never forgot you. Had capricious Fate not stolen him away, he would be your savior, not I.
I will show you the way to a new and greater world, in his absence. You may find my methods brutal and violent: rest assured, they are necessary. Albion will make sure you understand.
But first, I must tell you of the events that have brought me to this point.
I must tell you about Raphael Sorel.

Date: 2010-08-15 06:05 am (UTC)From:Paragraph 3: There was a whole turn to the story after SC3 I didn't really like. Unwitting victims really don't have to feel responsible for what happened to them. It is hard to believe that Siegfried is completely innocent (like some fics make them to be--- like that painfully long SC fic about Siegfried fooling with the entire female cast, bleh. I have an urge to point out everything wrong with the last chapter which is the only chapter I think I really read) if you consider all the stuff before he even came across Soul Edge.
Did you also notice in SC3's Amy concept art that she looked nothing like a vampire despite being infected? Green eyes, red hair, etc. Raphael looked really pale in comparison, but tones down in SC4. Amy gets red eyes in 4. Like you said, nothing like Charade...

:D this brings me back...a lot of gamers I talk to don't even know pre-SC4. We are not that old!!
