There literally aren't words for how cool this is....
You rock!

um ... thanks :)

I figure Lex has hit rock bottom by this stage and literally can't go on! So next part will be building Lex back up piece by piece! :/

I'm guessing that tall blond and broad is the Sharkey replacement?

em ... so tempted to say wait and see ...

But ... its in Lex' background. After she left the Blood and Tears the first time, she started into petty street crime, becoming a fixer and a sneak at the same time. You want it, she stole it and got it for you ... She tried a run on a dojo to steal a katana, but ran into the sensai. He didn't fight her, just asked her why she wanted it. Convinced her that this wasn't the way for her. He offered to teach her and that was where she picked up japanese and the social skills that go with it. But the thing is, he's not japanese. However, in keeping with the CP culture, he decided to get a name to go with the image so its Master Wu's dojo, Sensai Wu teaching, but his real name was Brian and he was from NY. He's the one who helped her piece together her life last time she messed with the Blood and Tears. They were "close" back then, very "close".

Well to be honest, I reckon that Lex would have problems with killing people and while you can shift into a cold uncaring persona for a while, i.e. when someone you love is threatened, or when your life is threatened, which was the case in both, but once they shift back, they are wracked with guilt over the fact and Lex has high emp so she would freak.

And while defending her own life with the two guys on a vengence kick, she knows that she brought it on herself by killing Dusk, so she killed two guys unnecessarily and brutally, cause she needed to go one step beyond where she was and technically went into combat frenzy.
