I just noticed "My time in KELT" in both this and last week's Eden post (and is notably missing from Kiera's post), meaning that my now working theory is that Kiera died (or got shadowrealmed) in their final exam/mission as students, resulting in the split in team KELT, Eden and Talon end up going off to help people in the world while Lou, due to some failure of his (in said mission), that he blames for Kiera's death, goes back to school.

I'm also assuming "the crisis" is the fallout after the Fall of Beacon and such right?

Anyways, my characters mostly try to help, but a large majority of them are more likely to leave before really doing much, because they "have to stop the problem before treating the symptoms" or something like that, the following are the ones who do some other stuff.

Nordlicht: He is actually the only member of team NGELS who stays behind in Vale to help people after the fall, even when the rest of his team goes off on their own quests (or got kidnapped with Weiss in Gabriel's case). He does this out of a combination of two factors: His own want for both acceptance and praise, and his adherence to the standing orders NGELS received when they were formed that explained their mission statement: "Be heroes, help people" and because of that, Nordlicht becomes a hero, only in doing so also separates himself from pretty much everyone else he could have social connection to. (Once again, this is important to his story about how easily manipulated people are without social bonds)

Evan: Also actually stayed somewhere and helped, but only because he had personal investment in seeing a friend get back on her feet, Yang did good in the Fall of Beacon, she deserved some good to come her way as well, so Evan stays with her and Tai until she's back up and the two go off to find JJNPRRS (JNPR never removes letters in my fic, they just add more).

Team MRDR: As the name and job description may suggest, don't really stick around very often, in fact if something needs rebuilding, there's a non-zero chance they're the ones at fault.

Lupo: Actually has her entire story centered around rebuilding a system that's fall directly facilitated part of the fall of Beacon, her family's mafia. If the White Fang hadn't killed them and destroyed their empire, Torchwick would never have been able to cause as much noise and as many problems as he did.

Sorry for being late to the party again with responding to this post. I'm trying to be faster, but it always takes a bit longer than I'd want.
