Why not an AU?

[betrayalcutsdeep]

Well, I may as well break this page in since I'm here. My name is Jess, and I'm bringing in one (1) Jin Uzuki from the sadly under appreciated game series Xenosaga. Only there's a bit of a twist. You see, he's from an AU where almost everyone is on the opposite side from canon, meaning he's one of the villains, the leader of U-TIC to be precise. That's right people, you get to deal with a villain from day one! But he's not a typical villain, he's more along the lines of a well intentioned extremist who will do anything for his goals...even if it means destroying a planet and the 1.5 billion innocents who live there.

But don't let that put you off from talking to him! For all his ruthlessness, he's actually a very pleasant man who enjoys quiet company and a nice book, despite a bit of a teasing sense of humor. He also happens to be a bit of a manipulative meddler, but his intentions are always benevolent.

Oh, yeah, and he's a master swordsman from the far future and a galaxy far far away, a former spy and a space samurai. He might also be likely to try to recruit followers for a neo-U-TIC, but that's in the future, right?

He'll be living in room F1 005 along with his partner, Veemon. As for me, you can find me at Firebenderjess on both AIM and Plurk.

Yup. Lucky for them Jin's pretty laid back for a military officer XD

In his mind, the risk to the planet was necessary because he believed that what he was trying to do would bring his organization a step closer to benefiting the entire universe. He's good at justifying things to himself.

Just don't mess with Shepard's hamster or shoot her friends and she's good. They can chill and swap war stories.

Big risks, big rewards, huh? . . . You're making me very curious about the plot of this game.

He's good with animals and doesn't try to hurt people unless he has a reason, so they should be fine there. But she might not want to listen to his war stories, since he fought in the most horrific battle in his world's history, which left everyone involved deeply traumatized.

Pretty much. The ends justify the means when the ends are for the good of humanity as a whole, right? Or so he thinks. Just as planned.

Sounds like Shep would be right at home! She's seen... a lot of insanely disturbing stuff. Soldier bros.

At least it's arguable instead of just... crazy! the self-enabling begins immediately every time i join a game whoops

Oh good, then she shouldn't lose her lunch when he describes the berserked artificial humans, insane child soldiers and all manner of other horrifying things that went on during that battle. Just don't mind if it makes him a bit melancholy, he lost his parents during that and his best friend 'betrayed' him.

Yeah, he's got his motives and is convinced they're good ones. And he isn't entirely wrong to think something needs to change, either, he just...needs to re-think his methods.
