I used him because you wrote that Ed called him on the phone,m so I came up with something to show what he wanted.
But aside the objectiver reason for the post, what I wanted to show was that even if Phil has actually evolved, Euro continue to see him as the first time he has met him.
I foresee Phil taking soon a more leadership role, and I want to set up possible clashes with Euro (you know, it's more interesting when personalities collide, than when everyone is buddy).
You find misinterpretation in what Phil does or in what Euro says about Phil?
If it is about him not jumping at the suggested use of his powers, I did that because he has to work with Rose, and they are not (since the Antarctic War) on best of terms.
If it is for his not-tempered reactions, it's my way to show he is a lot younger than the other two (well, younger than Euro, as Turner is really just four year old )
Also, I think a telepath, when is near not one, but two people that are unreadable, should make him uncomfortable, hence be less cool than usual. I mean, if I would get near a people that makes me blind or deaf, I would be scared off, not just uncomfortable.
Let me know. I really liike the Phil character, I wanna use him a lot more in the future, and obviously I want to get it right.
On another note, I have now read your last post, and I found it very enjoiable, perfectly characterized and I loved a lot seeing Phil using his other powers. If I should find a weak point, is that Mullarney, when Phil points up that Vanguard has never done anything bad for real, should have brought up the fact that Grimm killed cold-bloodly his brother.
That's an important part of the characterization of the current Strikeforce, because they are "good guys" thinking of doing the good deeds, as opposed to the more mercenary members of the previous incarnations of that team.
And I am writing this not just for you, but for explain to all the writers here what could have not been known if they have not read the Strikeforce thread.
In any case, this is a great post. Now I am waiting for a set up for the story of the same level of quality, Sammitch.
