Actually, Epzi. I've left that one-sided rivalry between Gekko and Seireitou in the dust long ago, though I don't mind helping out if that's still your goal. You're 100% about me going overboard with Gekkō, but that's been something I have since tried to tone down - seeing as how I've hit a perpetual wall when it comes to writing I simply can't make him as explosively amazing as I would like. I would rather think that doing so is simply out of my current abilities rather than outright impossible.

As for Kuroi, if you would like to transfer him from one state to another that is perfectly fine. He's your character as much as he is mine. However, one problem I think we have (as you state in later paragraphs) is our ego. And to be honest, the Opposition affected me as much as it did you, both in character and characters. All I wanted to do was stand against Seireitou in a rematch that would shake the fandom to its core (hyperbole of course). Yet, in pursuing that goal, I lost what made editing here fun. Which is part of why I just...stopped? Writing became all about beating Sei and that's what drove most of my characters to be blank slates.

Hence, I just stopped using Seireitou's concepts altogether and went on to see what made MY characters stand out. Now, I'm pretty much fine with the character development of Mukei and crew, but I just don't think that your (or my) motivation should be using our characters to satisfy our egos. I'm sorry if this sounds offensive but that's just the vibe I'm getting.
