Kain is a perfect tragic figure, but at some point he either has to change, or the narrative needs to move beyond him. Cecil and Rosa will have to deal with him as a unit at some point if he does not realize that life is not about obsession with proving that he can withstand anything. I say if the man does not resolve his daddy issues then he is a perfect successor to Gafgarion and he needs to either win or lose based on his skills versus a Paladin and a White Mage.
The idea behind Every Light is for him to change and grow into himself. I mean, as much as I love kicking Kain in the head repeatedly and often, I do have a *point* to this story beyond gratuitous angst :)
Oh, yes, this has been planned out for years :) It's a long, hard road to get there, but he does make peace with himself and his deeds, and gets nice things eventually.
I think you mean Golbez! :) Gafgarion's a character in FF Tactics.
Only the first two chapters are currently posted; Chapter 12 is written, but hasn't been posted because I'm trying to finish the entire rough draft so the tireless and super awesome celeloriel and first_seventhe can hack through it and fix it all at once. But once that's done, I anticipate putting up chapters once or twice a week.
Elizabeth's name and character are not things that have been discussed in public. That means that you are one of six people who have had discussions with me about her - and I know who the other five are, and they would be commenting with their actual LJ accounts.

I know he's glad of that. After all, as good a villain as he might be, Kain is a hero. Do you know where it ends?

If you have enough time to read this sign, you should go to the goal immediately!
In order to get nice things, Kain must confront his deeds. Say... is Gafgarion really truly dead? Because if not, I imagine he's up to something...
And is Elizabeth's true name Elizabeth? Or does it begin with a 'V'? There are paths to the end all right. You've got this. Win the game!

Elizabeth's name is a question that will be answered sometime in Chapter 12, I think. XD

Chapter 12, you say? All righty then... after I get a bit of free time (work and school wait for no one) I'm totally there.

Not classy. And not subtle.
