My apologies for not responding sooner. School and all. However, everything that Sei and Void have said is absolutely true. I was so devastated from the gruesome defeat Gekko suffered at the hands of Sei and Ten that ever since then I had found myself "competing" with their abilities and powers but in my own way. Hoping for our rematch to showcase my new skills and crush them the way they crushed me. However, it was just as Void said, I was way too in sync with my own character to the point where I actually saw the lost as a slap to the face at how easily they disposed of him. My heart and soul were taken out of Gekko and my other characters and put into some vain competition of who could write the best or who could do this or that the best.

Sei and Raian are who they are because of their personal histories that were marked with bloodshed and war, hence their psycho personalities. Everything about them refers back to the world surrounding them that dealt the a crap hand to say the least. That's what makes them who they are (along with four years of hard work). That is even something I noticed about Void's articles. Their appearance, personality, and ability are all based off of the world they live in.

Sei, you're right. I have forgotten to write for myself and turned to trying to outdo everyone else. Shamefully even Epzi. I hate to say this, but I was jealous that so many writers where "better" than me and as such I only succeeded in handicapping myself and wasting time that could have been put into my characters.

Void, you're insight is impeccable. I really learn a lot from the time you generously put into typing this. Thanks, bro.
