#evigheden

- Iphiko's character (who will be referred to as IPHC for the time being) having Carlos pretty much for the singular reason of having an heir. - As Carlos strays further and further away from IPHC, she nominates a new heir (a child of someone close to her probably) and begins to train them. - When Carlos discovers this he confronts her, and she gives him two choices: stay and become committed, or leave forever. - Carlos chooses the second without hesitation; but he doesn't realize how much he relied on his mother, or how much of the city she had influence over (I'm gonna go with the population is around 6 million), and he is forced to find a province that she doesn't control. - I think a couple of NPC wannabe heroes should join Carlos and almost immediately be taken out by IPHC. By the time he realizes what's happening, at least three have died. (But he's always left unscathed—whether to prove a point, or because she still has a bit of love for him, he doesn't know.) - Carlos has to be very careful, now. Being a hero was already rare, but now any that might be around actively avoid Carlos. So, he turns to his only other option: Villains. - This is actually a brilliant tactical move, whether Carlos realizes it or not. IPHC will care less about the villains—and even if she does care, the small villains have gotten good at staying out of overlords' radars, and since they're in a province she doesn't control, it would be harder to find them anyway. - I think this is when we should insert the "help me make the world a better place!!!" "oh, you're funny" scenes. In fact, I think we should have an entire episode just filled with these sorts of interactions. (In the background of the story leading up to this, we'll have a couple of side characters intertwined with the main plot; all of them except for this episode.) Then, finally, at the end of this very long day, a villain (possibly Reality's character?) steps out of the shadows, tells Carlos "you're doing this all wrong," and then takes him home to the warehouse they live in. - Next episode we have more of "you're doing this all wrong" combined with training, teaching ("villains aren't what you call 'good' and 'bad'; they come in shades of gray"), snacks, and your normal programming with the side character plots - Carlos finally ventures back out to recruit some more villains to his cause. I don't know what order he would find them in, but I want Jupiter to join before Clover does (and maybe they realize each other's identities at one of Carlos' meetings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) - we have more plot. more plot goes here

I WILL I WILL AT SOME POINT
