Good end
Being the type of person to persist in her endeavors if there at least seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel ultimately proved to be a blessing for Rin. With the support of friends who'd become something closer to family, she's matured and shed some of the wariness and paranoia that made things so difficult for her when she arrived in the Port, becoming an adult woman who's compassionate and sometimes very intense, but more grounded. She carried on with studying largely due to her own enjoyment of it but also to spit in the city's eye a bit, when they denigrated newcomers, and it's won her enough of an education to be considered respectable. She probably won't stop with it until for some reason she has to, but in the meantime her life is also very much occupied with raising a couple kids and keeping an eye on all of her surrogate family.
Bad end Pinpointing one event that sparked off her decline would be difficult. Really it was just the progression of things: realizing there was no one she could trust, not even

GOOD END <3

[mentis_reae]

[Edgeworth doesn't spend all his time in the law nowadays. Every semester, he teaches a seminar on the law at SPU. Three hours per week, conducted on Friday afternoons - yet in spite of this, the seminars are well-attended, frequently hard to get into.

He didn't allow Rin to take the class for credit, of course, because he knows that he could never be impartial when assigning the girl who's grown so dear to him over the years a grade. But he was incredibly happy when he learned she'd be auditing it.

He's cleaning up after the lecture.]

:D

[payback]

[Rin comes up with her books held in front of her chest. Less guarded and frightened now, she's still a private person, the rage and agony of a vengeance that will never be fulfilled softening and deepening that privacy. But still, it's possible to be both private and friendly at the same time, and her eyes are warmed by that duality too.]

Is it tiring?

[mentis_reae]

[He looks up, and though he doesn't smile the look he offers her is warm.]

Teaching?

Roxas

[pullsheavendown]

GOOD END: Roxas develops self-confidence in himself and his own individual identity very s-l-o-w-l-y and manages to reach out to Sora over time. Eventually, they're able to talk honestly and without awkwardness, and boom, Roxas has yet another brother. At 26 years old, Roxas is a successful independent business owner. He still runs the S.S. Kahve but in a larger expanded location. While he doesn't get heavily involved in politics, he donates to the newcomer political party and makes a point of hiring clueless newbies and giving them a chance. He also runs a small rescue organization dedicated to fostering and finding permanent homes for cats. Even after all this time, he still isn't convinced he has a heart, but he finally accepts that he can feel emotions anyway, for whatever reason.

BAD END: Roxas somehow finds out the memory-screw that DiZ inflicted upon him when prepping him for the merge with Sora and tells the KH lightside group to go screw as he stomps off to rejoin the Organization, since at least then he'll know not to

good eeeeend

[quackery]

[It's early one morning when a certain beaming redhead wanders into her favorite coffee shop - albeit, one quite larger than it had been a few years ago. Still, it's a little nostalgic; she remembers well the first time she walked into the place (at a different location, of course) as a girl of only fourteen.]

Roxas!

[pullsheavendown]

Oh, hey, Ahiru! What's up?

[Just surveying his empire over here.]

[quackery]

Just thought I'd stop in! It's been a few days, hasn't it?

Madara Uchiha

[forefather]

BAD ENDMadara rose through the ranks of AGI quickly by making good use of his Sharingan, converting thousands of the unaffiliated to AGI over the years. He ran numerous mind control experiments over the network as well, seizing control of a portion of Newcomers and using them as puppets to do his bidding. He came to own some of the most profitable properties in town and earned millions before using his influence to attempt to seize control of AGI itself. Unfortunately, someone tipped off SERO to his powers and he was captured by a team of Voids. His eyes were removed for study and now he spends his days as an experiment subject in a top secret laboratory.

GOOD ENDMoved by the kindness shown to him both by his employees and those he considered his enemies, Madara began to reconsider his lifelong grudges. When SERO came to learn of his abilities, it was actually Naruto who intervened to save him from capture. A poignant discussion followed, during which Madara earnestly forgave the Senju and was in turn forgiven for his crimes against

Bad end and bad end!

[mentis_reae]

[It's part of the truce between AGI and SERO, that each gets to inspect the others' facilities and experiments periodically. It's part of what's led to unprecedented peace between the two companies, and what promises that the status quo will be maintained for a long time to come.

They've sent Edgeworth, this time. They know he's loyal, and they know he won't speak. Perhaps they even know that, once, Edgeworth knew Madara; perhaps that's another reason why. Still, it truly is strange to look upon the man now - blinded, and sad, and pathetic, and powerless. Once, this man had driven Sam away from him, even as Edgeworth begged...Now he is nothing.

Edgeworth stares at the sad creature, and he takes notes.]

[forefather]

[They keep him in a harness that's something like a straitjacket. After all, he's dangerous even without his eyes. They learned that after he snapped a few necks, and once using his feet... which are chained to the floor these days. He's huddled against the wall now. There's little he can do when they aren't dissecting or dismembering him.

His head tilts slowly to one side, considering this new presence. Then:]

I can smell you, Miles.

[mentis_reae]

[The voice is enough to send a lurch of fear through his stomach. He was expecting silence, docility, not a personality - he stumbles back a step, and for a moment his mind is lit up with terror, absolute fear - Oh, God, if this somehow interferes with the experiment it will filter back to AGI and he will be punished, if somehow he's triggered any change of state he'll be punished - before he screws his eyes shut, slows his harsh breathing, and reminds himself that the early days of his captivity are well over. He has a looser leash now.

Jesus, hearing that voice truly is terrifying, though.]

A remarkable ability. [He swallows.] Do you still retain a memory of your name? I know they refer to you only by your experiment number.

[phaseshifts]

Good endSomehow he did manage to grow up a little, with enough good influence from the people around him - enough to where he actually took some responsibility for his life and choices... and while the Noah is still a part of him, he still fights its influence to retain some parts of his humanity. He still has people he genuinely cares for, although finding him on a given day (and getting him to commit to anything) is still a huge pain in the ass, and his homocidal instincts are much more carefully directed now. More than likely, he's still going to die young, but his life has gone a lot better with a lot fewer incidental deaths than anyone might have expected at the outset.
Bad endThe Noah instincts proved really too strong, and without someone firmly keeping a hand on him to rein his killing instincts in, eventually he fell into trouble he couldn't get out of himself... and in that lapse, the Noah came forward and saved him

Bad End first

[proxysearch]

[Re-l's breakout from the SERO labs only happened some months prior. She can't think straight, but she seeks out all of her old contacts, anyone that can provide her with some semblance of support or warmth. When she hears what happens to Tyki, the Proxy is more than happy to come destroy the lab to find him.

And so she does, breaking in with Daedalus' access codes, killing anyone in her path. She gets to the observation room beside his own, looking in at him through the glass. She's thin -- too thin -- and her hair is so much longer now. She stares at him as the alarms go off.]

:>

[phaseshifts]

[Tyki drifts a lot these days... between trying to lash out and kill the scientists that prod him, that is. He drifts and recedes on an amorphous, indistinct wash of pleasure, divorced from the miserable reality he exists in.

The alarms take a while to penetrate. When they do he turns his head slowly, smile still on his lips, and looks at her.]

[proxysearch]

[She watches him in silence, finally stepping away from the glass. She says nothing, but an energy wave lashes out and cracks the glass, shattering it. She walks up and steps into the room, going towards him at an almost listless gait.]

Re-l Mayer

[proxysearch]

Good End
Re-l eventually ran for governor of the city, and while she lost, she obtained public office and used it as a launching point to start bringing Newcomers into the light. Paving the path for them, when she finally stepped down from office, there were so many more Newcomers to take her place and to do make a difference. The companies began to buckle, crime receded in some areas, and she reclaimed her job at the police department, working her way through the ranks.

She certainly doesn't look like she's aged a day over twenty. And in between her work and her night-job out in the Darkness, she's found time to have a baby boy named William, now a year and a half old.

Bad End
When the Core began to malfunction, Re-l couldn't control her new powers. The mind control she had over others came too easily and she couldn't make it work. She began to manipulate people, unintentionally, into wanting her. It began to scare her when their fixations became obsessions, even to the point of violence. Withdrawing herself, she couldn't control

good end + good end

[phaseshifts]

[Guessing that baby boy is not with him -

A feckless old friend, Re-l, sitting outside your window, flicking pebbles against the glass. Come say hello?]

[proxysearch]

[She goes over to the window and glances down at him, smiling. She opens it.]

There is a door, you know.

[phaseshifts]

[He raises a hand to her, grinning. It's a little softened these days from the raw, devilish glee it sometimes used to show.]

That would be boring.
