Oh wow, that sort of shit is what makes me keep my distance from rps. You put effort into making something unique, then someone decides they like it and try to adapt it to their ideas. Either that, or you have to bend and alter your ideas just because someone else wants to do something their way.

That's a pretty assholeish thing of your friend to do, but it doesn't seem like she thinks she's hurt you. If she's really nice usually and this seems very strange for her to do this, maybe she honestly thinks she's doing a good thing (tying the history and circumstances of both your characters together so they can have something in common).

I can see your issue, though. And even from a plot standpoint, Cerudo's history is so specific (and the experiments so... deadly to everyone but him) that it seems very peculiar that the organization (is it the Russian government doing these experiments?) would seek out Havoc to experiment on as well. I mean, he's in Sweden, right? Why him first?
Unless they were targeting both your characters for some reason, they live so far apart that there'd be no reason for them to pick the both of you... and then for you both to survive?

I guess I'm a bit confused about her character's backstory, since he was moved to Sweden by the same organization that placed Cerudo in Russia. I don't get why they'd have a base in Sweden and Russia... and why these are the only two that survived. If Cerudo was the only one to survive, that would make sense. He's an anomaly. With two surviving, it makes me wonder what they came into contact with as children to make them resistant to the trauma of the experiments. If the RegEn cell chose them (and it's a huge coincidence that they were friends), then why did it pick them?

Pardon all the questions. They're rhetorical, and it's my way of agreeing with you. Your plot looked great on its own. If she'd written a plot just as good that was a stand-alone for Havoc, then it would have meshed really neatly.

I think you're justified in being frustrated over this. I sure as hell would be, too. I don't know what to say, though, since I'm not very good at being upfront with this sort of thing.
My last rp partner left me so anxious and freaked out that I stopped writing for a while, and I couldn't talk to her about it because I knew she'd take it personally and freak out :/
I'm so anti-conflict... I have no experience to draw on to offer any advice.
Are you going through with the story, now, or are you two going to plan it out a bit more?

Heh, you could always change the storyline somehow, making something super-awesome happen to Cerudo that couldn't happen to Havoc in a million years, even if she tried pulling all sorts of improbable plot devices out of the air. Something weird, like, to prepare him for the RegEn experimentation, they mucked about with Cerudo's cells, making an exact clone of him. The clone has all his memories (which is why Cerudo's are gone) and shows up later in the RP where he totally reveals that he wants to gather all the RegEn cells for himself, or something XD

Pardon my ultra-long comment of DOOM here. I hope you manage to get shit sorted out with your friend.

I've just created an account there and friended you. Don't know when I'll get around to checking it out, but at least I'm set up there ^_^

I know you've been promoting the rp site in a lot of places. I'll pimp it over on y!gallery in the Tekken club, too. Maybe people there will be interested to see it.
