Cody Mac is the shit . That team is legit for having him alone ! <| sep |> Did your mom say yes ? <| sep |> The Rot vs The Wanderer conflict . These two characters despite what I say about the Divines are the real Gods in my writing . The Wanderer ' s body is the planet Arnok , and his soul makes up the rest of the universe , including most things living there that is to say , most of their souls are just tiny fragments of his soul . kind of Dark Soulsy in a way . The Rot , however , controls only a very small piece of the world the subraces . Her soul makes up Kyiel , Vampyrei , Lycans , Lizardfolk , people afflicted by the Soul ' s Curse , etc . As more people are infected with her diseases , the Rot gets stronger , and the Wanderer gets weaker . So the Wanderer made the hunters to kill subhumans to prevent the Rot from killing him off . But the Rot then afflicted one of the Divines with her soul Akakios . So , while Akakios opposes the Rot , everything he does is actually in line with her wishes . Of course , neither the Wanderer nor the Rot receive anything more than a passing mention in the writing . Basically it makes it a lot easier to sort things out when a character does something . First I just ask Is this in character for X ? , then I ask Is X either a hunter , Divine not Akakios , or Farran ? If not , is X either a subhuman , or Akakios ? And finally , if either question 2 or 3 are correct , I ask , Would this help or hinder the Wandererthe Rot in the long run ? It makes it a lot easier for me to determine how certain characters should behave around each other , and it ' s another neat little thing that helps with Akakios ' plan which itself is something behind the scenes that ' s really useful .
