I finally reached a point in Finding Family I've been thinking about for ages. Part of it that floats through my brain when my muse is on Finding Family while listening to music. The big part. With facing down enemies. And now I have to make a decision regarding Praxis.

Does he die like a bitch to Kor like in the games? Or do Damas or Lyra get to do the honors themselves? Do I commit to it? I mean, he's not really had a large presence in the story, due to the fact a large part of the story has taken place in Spargus. Does it really matter how he dies? What purpose to the plot, to the characters, to any of it do each option hold? Do I spin the random wheel of chance? Or do I write it as it has played out in my mind time and time again?

Except, there's two ways it has played out in my head. One way where he's killed by Kor. And another way where he's killed by Lyra and Damas working together. Part of me really wants to use the second, because the scene it takes place in is kind of more epic. The first is gruesome and kinda solidly secures how dangerous and scary Kor is in Lyra's mind, which does matter for her, but she already acknowledges that Kor is a scary motherfucker, she just doesn't fully grasp it, if that makes sense?

She's encountered metalheads she knows are weaker that scare the shit out of her, but it's hard for her to separate the Kor of reality from the Kor of the game she's fought and beaten a hundred times. I dunno, necessarily, that she needs to witness him killing Praxis to get that, though, because she knows it's different in real life than the game. Especially since she is working with her own skillset, not Jak's with her ability to work a controller.

Also, should I have done similar things to what was done in Nothing More, Nothing Less and had a bunch of flashbacks to the past so he was present in the story so maybe we'd care more about his death without having to have the knowledge of the games? I mean, there are mentions of what he's done to the characters, of course. Various things. Like, of course, what we know of what he did to Jak and Damas with the coup, along with some details sprinkled here and there. But I never played around with flashbacks the way sonicringnoise did in their story outside of random dreams Lyra has. I never did flashbacks for Damas or Jak or Daxter.

And I'm realizing now that I could've done that. I maybe should've. Because it would've built the world up more before I reached this point. I can probably add some when I edit before posting. I'll have to decide how I want to do them. Do I do them as dreams, like the bits of flashbacks I have for Lyra are? Or do I just do regular old flashbacks? Or do I have them when they're telling stories about them? I have a spot where I could have a flashback with Damas. At least one. Probably another if I just have it a regular flashback, not where he's talking about it at length or anything.
