Since I've got this new series coming up, I figured I should lay down some ground rules for this upcoming superhero style story of mine.
RULE #1: NO KILLING!
Honestly, after the nightmare of a frameup and the horrors he sees while in the prison, Rikku grows disgusted and swears not to kill no matter what. It's also practical. He's already been framed for a mass murder, actually killing people of his own free will would just make everyone right about him. When he comes back he lives under an alias while he works to clear his name and killing anybody would be detrimental for that.
Having said that? You'd be surprised what you can live through.
Also, if a villain gets themselves into a shitty situation or are being taken out by another villain, well, chances are he won't exactly be jumping forward to save them...
RULE #2: NO VILLAIN WORSHIP!
Heroes punch villains in the face. They don't worship them. Get it straight Oliver!
Also, Rikku...well, saying that he HATES his personal villain, Mr.White, after what he goes through is putting it lightly, so he wouldn't fall to his knees in worship of his villains.
RULE #3: NO RAPE SCENES.
Seriously. There is no reason for those.
I mean, duh. The series is gonna be dark enough anyway.
RULE #4: NO MARY SUE HACKER OR IDIOT TEAMMATES.
Nope! Rikku does things on his own and it is a long time before he's willing to trust anyone let alone have them working with him and even then he does things his way. We need to establish the character as his own man, his own style of hero, FIRST before we can think of building him a team.
RULE #5: AWESOME FIGHT SCENES!
Because AWESOMENESS! Superhero Stories Need Awesome Fights and this story is going to be chock full of them!
RULE #6: PLUS ULTRA!
