Yeah, we'll have to talk to Shard about what Vance would've said or not. And if Vance hasn't said anything yet, if he'd bring it up now that Robbie's there.
And honestly, I am seriously okay with playing stuff out along those lines. I actually kind of enjoy stories like that? They can go some dark, messy places but end up kind of hopeful in the character trying to get better. Like provided his CR is okay with it, I plan on playing around with some of Rich's issues myself. I'm basically having it so that him finally being forced to to slow down a bit and stop saving whole civilizations by himself means he can't keep outrunning his traumas from the war and the Phalanx and the Cancerverse and dying -- and basically everything.
So I'm pretty comfortable with things dipping into dark areas, especially if the outcomes are ultimately friends supporting each other or what have you. You'd have to double-check with Shard but I've played with her for ages and she's usually fine with that kind of stuff, too. So if you want to play around with it, I'm game and she might be too. The Legion conveniently has a psychiatrist on-duty that has experience with superhero extremes ala Doc Samson, so it's not a bad place for a character to deal with some heavy stuff.
whoops ignore that wrong account
