I still hold the belief that an emotion as extreme as love can only have an effect on opinions and actions.

I absolutely agree.

I would only add that the presence of an emotion in and of itself does not guarantee a certain type of behavior.

I still find love difficult to convey through a veritable death incarnate.


Indeed it is. :) That's why I was inspired to write it. Overcoming that difficulty has provided many other insights into the character that can be incorporated into an overall story.

I completely agree. My main point was that while love may not unquestionably determine a character's actions, it would seem that love is an emotion that humans/bipedals experience to keep the parents of an offspring together. This is necessary (of course) due to the exceptionally slow development of human/bipedal offspring and the resulting dependancy on a strong parental complex. Since Valen is undead and cannot produce offspring (or at least give birth to them) there would presumably be no need for a love.
Anyway, I am in full support of what you are doing and am eagerly awaiting the expansion. A Valen 'romance' or 'seduction' or whatever it is does make sense in the respect that it will add depth to a very dark character. And even though I still hold the above opinion, I cannot argue with that. Therefore, get the damn thing done so we can indulge in multi-faceted satanic insanity.

Good stuff.
By the way, as a dragon constituted of a radioactive element, should you not be spreading beta decay by the sievert? Or is that your breath weapon?
Sorry just pulling your leg/tail.

Is that why none of the other dragons want to hang out with me? :blink:
