I think I had the most fun with Argondian. And I tried to make sure he had depth.

Martin is another that didn't get much screen time because he was added late in the process. And he and Lane Stenguard were the two that caused me a headache. I got the two confused, and flip flopped them in the first draft. I mostly got it straight, but ended up making Lane Swedish. Oops! But the rest is correct, for the most part.

Amy was another late edition, and helpful for the roll she ends up playing. I thought she was a good contrast with her master.

Haha, I hope you didn't feel obliged to shoe-horn in characters just because we offered them :p

Actually, it worked out quite well. I only intended to use six, but when I decided to add some additional material, the other four seemed necessary. They all take a beating, and as it unfolded, it seemed like too much to have all of them fighting over and over again. Everyone sits out at least one fight each, and that's only possible because of the depth of the bench.
I really enjoyed everyone's characters. It made writing the story so much more entertaining. Hopefully it's not too muddled for the reader. I was worried that there were too many, but I thought most of them were unique enough to be memorable.

There was some of the first Swedish lines that were weird. I could tell that it was a direct translation, as the word-flow was off.
The line: "inte innebär mig i dina sexlekar med vampyren" should probably be "inkludera inte mig i dina sexlekar med vampyren" (Don't include me in your sexgames with the vampire)
And "Jag kommer tala väl om eder efter att hon förbrukat er ande" does sound rather old-fashioned and stilted. It works though. (I will speak well of you after she has consumed your soul).
The other Swedish phrases was much better.

Cool. Why do I get a feeling that she and Anya will be friendly if she returns... The protagonist's view of what would happen if she and Anya met was interesting.
The changes you did to her works much better than what her powers were in the campaign I play in. Of course the stone could be seens as a kind of divination. ;)
