[OOC] Worldbuilding: AMALGAM

[robkelk]

Uhm.  Wait.  I thought he was?

*goes and checks*

Yep.  He's a Whispered alright.  Otherwise, he'd never be able to wrap AMALGAM around his finger the way he does.

Huh. I was not aware that the Testarossas were twins. I thought he was the older sibling.

Fair enough.

Thing to keep in mind: Leonard occupies a high spot in AMALGAM, but he's far from being among their highest.  He's only as highly ranked as he is because he is Teletha's exact counterpart.  This is made clear during The Second Raid where it is stressed to him that AMALGAM is only letting him devote so many resources to going after Kaname because the plan to take out MITHRIL was his brainchild.

That said?  What is Leonard's plan?

Kaname Chidori.

No more, no less.  Everything else can go to hell in a handbasket, so long as he gets to have Kaname as his willing trophy wife.  Thus, everything is is merely a means to that end.

Oh, don't get me wrong.  He is definitely a true believer in AMALGAM's cause.  That being: further mankind's development by fomenting conflict around the world.  But once he discovered Kaname Chidori, that quickly became a side-interest.

Head Cannon: Leonard isn't interested in Kaname so much for herself as much as he is interested in making babies with her.  Really.  Sure, he likes her combative personality and thinks she's hot as fuck, but for Leonard that plays more into what he hopes will be children who are Whispered with aggressive personas.  (Just imagine someone like Taiga Aisaka as a Whispered - this is what he's going for.)

Thoughts?

I can work with this.

AMALGAM - we make hard times, because hard times create strong men

(Which, if one looks closely at the Fremen Mirage, says AMALGAM is made up of weak mean, but don't point that out to them.)

Leonard's interests in Blossom would be keeping them off his back while he woos Kaname (a reasonable action, considering that Blossom and Westwoods are allied) and using them against AMALGAM's enemy MANAGEMENT (since Blossom is also at least friendly with Club Lofts, and Mahoro is MANAGEMENT's main enemy in both her own canon and the Metacontinuity). And, hey, fighting!

Hmmmmm... maybe AMALGAM might make a play for the Senshi who are shown to be more willing to "make the tough decisions" and back them up with action - you know, the two that are off on their own, away from the "corrupting" influences of Usagi. Whether AMALGAM would be able to recruit Sailors Uranus and Neptune remains to be seen, of course... and depends on just how they would go about doing so.
