It wasn't about emotional investment in my char (I make a point of trying to make sure my avatar has the flaws I know I do, anything to avoid a Mary Sue) so much as in the work I had put in the plan. But it's okay.
I apologize, too, if I came off as rude or anything before. It just annoyed me a bit, is all, but it's okay...
A small detail, since you chose the "explain why the summit won't take place" route: Lucas will still be thrilled that Neruite even trusted her with such a thing, even if said thing never came to pass.
Another thing: "working on something suitably more epic then simply becoming king of man. (yes, really)"? If I understood you correctly, your ideas intrigue me and I wish to learn more... ;)
