Geez, I really can't read all that...except until tomorrow night. But I will post about what I think I read and will mention some things that will occur in the not-too-distant future. Anyways, what I put in this post is probably subject to change, but I can't currently see a reason for it to change.

Honestly, if you'll stay with the RP, I've no current problems with player character sidequests. Because there's enough players and certainly enough NPCs, there's the easy possibility of multiple sidequests at once, at least two but possibly even three. But I intend to keep it at two since that'd increase my workload, which usually doubles when I leave you guys to think about the RP and where it can go in the future.

The powered mech armor, which is now officially named Rapid Deployable Powered Hardsuit or RDPH, is a lot like a Pok�brid's Paradigm Shift. You get it for several turns, it's more awesome than a Slayers normal loadout, and when the internal battery runs low, the Slayer will be safely autoejected (he or she will be warned of this) and the suit will retreat to recharge, rearm, and return when the Slayer needs it next.

If you go full demon, which will require you having some fun with Fujiko (a huge demonic boss monster fight should be expected), that's like half demon plus another Paradigm Shift, giving the Demonic Slayer two different Paradigm Shifts without even having Pok�mon DNA. If you truely intend to go full demon, I may need an idea of where you want your powers centered. Actually, that should go for all people who truely want demonic powers of any level. You want fire? You want ice? You want scythes? Lamp oil? Rope? Bombs? You want it? It's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Rupees.

...Eh, sorry about that Link CDi thing. I couldn't resist. Anywho...

There're are other possible major upgrades besides demonic rituals, like legendary Pok�mon. Feel like you'd rather do something different? Run it by me.

Faynoc is a mad scientist turned religious hysteric. He won't work with anyone because he believes he's some kind of chosen one given a holy crusade to resurrect the era of Ruin Pok�mon, which he believes to be divine creatures. Think you'll get him to help you any? Your next mission will involve you fighting him and a lot of his Pok�brid cultists. He's pretty much beyond deal-making and bribery. Religious loons usually are.

In fact, about the only NPCs you could make deals with for some kind of common goal are some of the Kimonos. Tsubasa and Shizuka are above it, but you could convince the naive Chizuru, the easy-to-please Mika, the lusty Rio, the backstabbing Fujiko, the machine nut Kiyomi, and the battle-loving Kirie to work with you. Let's just hope you've brushed up on your diplomacy.

Becoming an angel is unfortunately beyond possibility. Kirie doesn't know why she is one, and she's very likely the only angel in the crossover netherworld.

-----

To put it bluntly, it's difficult to remember all I've skimmed through on your posts. A good summary from one of you kind souls couldn't hurt, but otherwise I'll need tomorrow night to read it all and consider your ideas and requests.

Anyways, I'll get to posting now while watching hentai. Because I'm a multitasker!

EDIT 1: Here's a general rundown of what I have planned for the future. It's not everything as I'll try not to spoil too much.

Mission 3: Calm Down the Riot! ~ An unauthorizied religious gathering of a large scale has turned violent in Gregmore Square. Lots of Pok�brids and non-trainer rioters.
Mission 4: Show Your Stuff In the Arena! ~ Time for some R&R after all the heavy fighting...naw, scratch that! Time for some PvP!
Mission 5: Life's a Beach! ~ Okay, now it's really time for some R&R. Some old friends return and you gain a new Snagger! Mayhem ensues before you can really enjoy the views, though.
Mission 6: Fainas In Lockdown! ~ A situation occurs that has the whole metropolis running and hiding. How can we defeat the enemy when we can't even leave the agency?
Mission 7: Finally! The Origin of Pok�mon! ~ It's a tense situation at some very big ruins. Your enemies? The Kimonos. And they won't let their comraderie with you get between them and keeping you out.
