Yaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Alek!!!

What an excellent view into there characters! And the comparison to Three Doors Down, wow!

No matter how we turn it, Alek's fate seems to be predermined. (It sort of sucks to be fated to the boss fight of an epic video game ;P)

It's so good to read some Alek POV, he's so overlooked as a character.

Thanks :D

(I know, right?) You sometimes have to wonder where free will fits into all this. Hell, even Qel Droma had a vision of them duking it out.

Pfft. Can probably 'blame' you for my renewed interest in KOTOR. That, and one run through the game.

You're welcome!!!

Even my head!canon spells out doom destiny for poor Alek.
That Infinities comic, I remember that. (icon)

Uh oh! I can't seem to move away from KOTOR, ;P

Pfft. I can't either. But in all honesty, I first played the game when I was what, 13? 14? I find it's far more enjoyable when my playing style has matured. Insofar as that I don't feel the need to go out and make Revan the goody-two-shoes I always played him as. Which means he's got more depth and reality to him in my head now.

Oh yes, I remember the icon. Poor Alek :( He just never gets a break. Although I actually saw an interesting fic which had Malak and Revan swap positions. Personally, it'd be kind of hard to get past the jaw though. The moment Alek saw himself in a mirror and then a description of Darth Malak, he'd be screwed.
