Comments

Main bad guy. Wanted to become an Akuma, but the Mask of Winters didn't approve. - Hong

Cult of the Unseeing Eye? I can't but approve ... surely there's some flying undead behemoth with far too many eyes involved ;). -- Dakkareth

Believe it or not, there is actually a demon-worshipping cult in the PG called the "Cult of the Darkness' Unseeing Eye". Well, of course, I couldn't have a cult worshipping the Darkness, whether or not they have an unseeing eye, so I snipped that bit. The FR reference was just icing on the cake. - Hong

Are you going to post your house-rules for Specialties on the Wiki? - David.

Oops, missed that. Fixed. - Hong
