Talk:Varren 'goldshot' Cormick/@comment-24561343-20140314010530/@comment-24561343-20140315040334

A'ight. I'd like to thank you all for the wonderful suggestion and feedback in general. I feel obliged to awnser some of your questions and elaborate on some matters though:

First and foremost, because I have been getting some mixed opinions on this, is the usage of metal armaments whilst casting magics. Before I developed this character it had come to my attention that the actual 'Battle-Mage' armour in game has metal components. This fact is clearly stated in the official concept design, made by Jagex itself. Second is that during the first world event ( The skirmish between the forces of both Saradomin and Zamorak ) both black and white knight mages indeed donned metal attires, even when casting spells. This truly makes me ponder and lets me think casting magics in metal armour is not that negative for the caster in particular. it IS, however, still a conductive material when it comes to magic assaults and I agree that if you get struck by any spell while wearing metal armaments, you'd be significantly more damaged then when you'd be wearing, let's say, dragonhide. I hope this somehow explains my personal opinion and view on the subject.

When it comes to the fact Varren is still in the possession of his old White Knight armour, the explanation is simple; He merely failed to come forth, as he, right after his notion of discharge, legged it.

I understand that my statement of 'Barcrawling all over Gielinor' sounds confusing and somewhat impossible to most. I might have overreacted even. I just wanted to make clear to the readers that Varren would roam into literaly any bar on the planet.

Varren uses a silver alloyed blade because he has no access to either silvthril nor blisterwood weaponry. I do this because lore-wise I find it highly unlikely that a man from across the Salve could get his hands on such materials. As for the hazardous smokebombs, Varren uses these for escape scenarios only, he doesn't breathe in the silver particles, as he would already try and make a run from whatever made him throw the bomb in the first place.

The commorb... Yeah, I have no legitimate explanation for that. Yet you have to admit people /do/ seem to possess them anyways, regadless of their character's background. It's almost like a necesity nowadays.

Tara, Varren began playing the piano when he was a young boy in Cormick Manor and a squire of the White Knights thereafter.

Last but not least, I will look into the suggested lay-out changes and try and fix where it is necesary.

Once again, thank you all for the concern!
