New game with a new perspective

[thedavid]

I decided to not continue on with my current character and start over.

Don't worry, I've restarted dozens or hundreds of times.

I was doing a pure Terran playthrough and I was happy with it but then I thought about the fact that of course someone from Sol would side with the Terrans. What would be more interesting would be if someone converted. What if an Argon came to see the actions of their own people as wrong, be converted over to the Terran side, and go that way.

I was inspired to do this by X Rebirth of all things. There is a line of dialogue at the beginning of the game when the copilot in that game says something about the other Argons on the other side of a deactivated jump gate still fighting the Terrans even after 40 years of hearing nothing from them. So she's on the side of the Argons and then I thought to myself, how does she know Ren Otani isn't on the Terran side? She just assumed.

So, in X4 I'm going to play as an Argon who isn't on the Argon side. Man, the fanfiction almost rights itself.
