random history rant #001

I'm gaining more and more pity for Lowen. He really got the short end of the hypothetical backstory stick. Gale had this interesting revolutionary backstory which almost certainly includes Sarisa at some point (I doubt their, them being Unu et al., motivation for targeting her first was just in the fact that she bore a superficial resemblance to Tian). Xander had some grand world-traversing adventures once upon a day (everything in the KMV is usually world-traversing and almost certainly grand), even Kain has this unusual history in a slightly off-norm universe...
L got into military tech school because, contrary to first impressions, he actually excelled at it. His father was also a Marshal. Both his parents died in between IH2 and IH1 because they were old. How... unexciting.
