Quote:If you guys really don't think it's a good idea to for the Fen in general to help with the rebuilding efforts, then that's fine. Ben himself doesn't need to speak for the Convention and will stick around for a while, doing what he's good at: working with the two hands his momma gave him.
Perhaps you could address Dartz's (and mine, now that I have some more time to think it over) argument about the inherent problems in using a recent disaster as a backdrop to make your character look good? Because looking over what you've written on the subject so far, that's really the troubling part. It's not something like "the big Sendai quake happened, individual Fen help out in the relief effort," it's "the big Sendai quake happened, and ~*~Benjamin Rhodes~*~ rides in to assist, rescuing children from wrecked houses, daring to singlehandedly brave the wrecked Fukushima reactor housing and shedding a manly tear for those poor souls that he couldn't save from Nature's fury." That's the impression I'm getting here.
