Might I also add something to any potential writers looking to join up with DEF. As much success as some "legacy" characters have had in DEF (Dan Ryan, Lindsay Troy, Jeff Andrews, Kai Scott, Cancer Jiles etc.) I'd like any prospective DEFIANTS to maaaaaaybe consider a brand new creation for you application?
Myself, Damien who handles Eugene Dewey, Ken who handles Frank Holiday, a number of others are examples of this. It's fine walking in a big deal, personally? It's more fun making your character a big deal from the ground up. Go back over the last few months and watch the ascent of Frank Holiday and David Noble leading up through the MAXIMUM DEFIANCE pay per view. That shit is a blueprint on how to "play" our game.
If you're having issues on this front please feel free to contact me, I love work-shopping new character ideas / if you get really desperate for something new Justin and I created a document FULL of killer characters just waiting for a voice.
So, yeah... felt that need be said.
