QUOTE (Fortinbras @ Jul 1 2011, 11:56 AM) *
The point is not that Harlequin kills people, the point is that the sanctity of human life is such a non-concern for the immortal elf that he doesn't care if anyone lives or dies; even the people he hires.
It's possible to get through Harlequin without killing anyone, but the nature of a Shadowrun story rends that minute detail moot.

Yeah, they have stuff in common. They are both white guys. They both speak English. But they are not the same.
Don't demean the story, the life and the sacrifice of The Doctor by comparing it to a hobby we like because we have so few other references.




Hello, Both fictional characters here.

The people he hires knew the job was risky even if they didn't know ALL the risks.
And he knew that they were protected from the wrath of the Erhan the Scribe.

The deaths of the APN leadership was a public service.

Life is cheap in the Shadowrun world.
Harlequin is usually playing for pretty steep stakes.
So in the Sixth World, Harlequin is as close to a hero as you can find.

This is like comparing a four color comic book hero to a Frank Miller anti hero and complaining about the foul language.

Great thread here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
