I was going to get around to reveal stuff about May/Elizas, but then this happened. Since (s)he obviously can't develop from here, might as well reveal the most interesting points. Perhaps I'll put out a more descriptive explanatory narrative later for anyone interested.
85% of Elizas Colton Roxine's biography is fabricated, starting with the fact that there was no one named Elizas Colton Roxine.
Jeremiah Piffard Hayes was a college student arrested for theft of highly expensive, experimental pharmaceuticals not yet realeased to any market.
At the time of his arrest, Hayes had never been in a fight, never done any narcotic more potent than alcohol, and only had a total of 1 sexual partners.
Shortly after arriving in prison, Hayes gets into a heated debate with a fellow inmate and is promptly assaulted and beaten.
In prison, Jeremiah reads a short news blurb regarding the deaths of some cartel officials in a foreign country. Names are listed off quickly, Jeremiah takes interest in Elijah 'Colt's name for no real reason.
Elizas Colton Roxine takes revenge on his debate opponent, nearly killing him with a dumbbell, managing to blind him in one eye.
Elizas and a few other inmates find ways to tamper with records, resulting in shortened sentences and transfers. This also manages to inflate the legend of Elizas, which grows more ridiculous with the passing day.
Elizas continues to promote image while aboard the Sword. The persona and his real figure are now intertwined, though he still remains aware of it on some level.
Elizas attempts suicide through use of the Armory Master, assuming it would be the most painless, easiest way to go. It fails.
Elizas tries to assume the body of someone he knows. The operation does not go according to plan.
Elizas creates the persona of May, an even more absurd character, and tries to assimilate into the role.
Jeremiah, Elizas, and May were always the same people and mindset.
Huh.
Either I missed something or is TCM talking about May's death?!
This isn't a Chick Tract. People survive when their characters die.
Y'know I'd like it if you details your answers more :v
Like...why are you bringing up the Chick Tract? What is that anyway?
Jack Chick is an infamous fundie who made a bunch of comics decrying everything from D&D to the Catholic Church as satanic and whatnot. He's said that it is supposed to be serious, which kinda takes the fun out of reading them. I linked the relevant Chick Tract earlier; it includes an obvious analogue for D&D, which includes among other things: a player committing suicide after her character died, without a saving throw; a cabal based around D&D, the goddess Diana, and witchcraft; and characters being taught real magic.
Does anyone else find that sentence impossible to understand or is it just me?
Me too.
Well, when...*checks link* Marcie's character died, she committed suicide. This isn't like that, so TCM would still be able to post.
Also hah, I wondered why Elizas was...had a crazy record :v Didn't seem normal how TCM played 'im.
Given my limited experience in interacting with TCM's characters, it seemed normal enough to me.
