[FFXII OG] Prisoner of Fate (2/?) (Basch) (R)

This got bloated enough to split into two parts, so hopefully it's not cut in a weird spot. Feedback is highly appreciated.

Also, this has always bothered me, ever since I first played the beginning of the game and thought, "wasn't his voice deeper before?"

I agree 100% to what you said about Basch. He is such a strong character, but was totally pushed aside by Ashe (who I think was not a bad character, just a difficult one). I'm glad though that Basch & Noah had a long scene in the ending of the game, they both deserved it.
(and I hope you've already finished the game, if not, sorry for telling things from the ending!)

This is amazing. ♥ I've always likes Basch because I think all of the characters in XII are interesting in their own way but this? This makes me really understand him. I love your Basch voice, it's like you got inside his head.

Of course I love the way you have written Vayne. :P That's a given.
Both parts of this fic are really strong pieces and I really hop to read more of this soon!

LOL @ me taking forever to respond to comments.

Thank you! All of my obsessing over a character at least has some payoff when I'm trying to write him.

Vayne is going to be central to the story, so I hope I can do him justice! It's hard to write him because he's not evil, or even all that crazy (on a scale of Hojo to Kefka, say). He's a manipulative bastard who has a grand plan, and doesn't have tremendous scruples about how to get the rest of the world in line with his vision. I can respect that. I want to make him somewhat sympathetic while preserving his overwhelming arrogance.

Anyway, I'm almost done chapter 3 in a burst of inspiration. Basch gets the stuffing beat out of him, repeatedly. D:

Thank you for the compliments! ♥
