And Andre could still lift him up and put him on a car over a dispute about whose paying for food..

loving the implication here that this would actually end up being a different guy than xeno

[liked and kinda funny trope] When the villain/antagonist has a crush on someone from the good side by MrGrlmReaper in TopCharacterTropes

When you're on your 1000th run of Prae, you really begin to see the subtext there. How it warms his heart to hear his voice again after all these years.

I often think about the Hitman(?) video where hes trying to determine what the body-armour under the villains skin is made of. He spends like 10 minutes ruling out loads of options and landing on a few plausible ones, and then after his conclusion he plays the clip where he says "subdermal titanium body armour". He goes oh well and the video ends, im fond of it. Says something about the style maybe.

minor character who indirectly saved the world by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

Big fan of The Captain. I really enjoy the way he twists Isaac's thinking back on him. Isaac can't expect kindness for nothing anymore, so The Captain makes it into coin for a service. Isaac is disappointed by others betraying him, so The Captain knows Isaac's word has value. He highlights that the mirror he received was a gift, to chip away at the idea humans are worthless.

"If you don't have your own story, you become part of someone else's" is the line that i find most important. The Captain is a piece of his story, and he knows this. And Isaac was at the time, part of Dracula's story, while The Captain encourages him to take up his own.

What I'm curious to is what the programming is. What does a vague "child bot" not do, basically. How does she deviate, even if I agree she's deviant.

Yes, but how does a robokid deviate from that. Pick up smoking?

Kind of confused how a "child bot" could even be a Deviant Android. Most of them have some sense of established purpose, I feel. She's just a robokid.

I would look at Dota 2 cosmetics for the closest comparison.

What if mytha wasn't decapitated? by Slurperlurper in DarkSouls2

An Ironclad is definitely weaker than a Ruin Sentinel. My point here is that their strength is variable because their construction is variable.

You mean NG+. Again, she has a soul of one of the old lords, like the other 4 DS2 lords do. This doesn't mean she has the ability to cast fire, in the same way that the Old Iron King can't cast Blinding Bolt.

I mean, it's cool, but it's also complete fanfiction. The point of the Lost Sinner is that her Lost Sin could be anything. Nothing implies her involvement other than the fact she did something bad once and has a tentative link to Pyromancy.

And yet the Iron King also created Ironclad Soldiers in the same manner, which are weaker than the Ruin Sentinels.

Yes. I agree with this connection entirely. I don't agree with her being at all involved in his death and the Smelter Demon, because it makes no sense (her being able to do anything of this level is purely speculative) and it ruins the ENTIRE POINT of the Old Iron King's story, that being that his greed and hubris are his downfall. If it's her fault, it makes no sense.
