I've got a question - what kind of powers did Kwai have?
User:Mare-Silverus 10:48, 27, Jul 2004
Generic mystical powers, best I can tell. She could do healing, and she could fly, and she could use those golden ribbons to grab people and to wrap things with... y'know, magic. Plus she could reincarnate 77 times (her Syndicate membership was her 77th time around - after that, her death would be permanent). DS 20:52, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
What about Oro's powers; and by the way the "every detail of all the plots in which the characters", I wrote them in because its what I know about the character

Hm. Oro's powers - um, lemme think. He could fly, and had some kind of golden (thus the name "Oro") light-display ... Ivan Velez wasn't the most straightforward writer, pardon the pun.
Don't get me wrong, by the way. It's good that you remember all these details about all these characters. But you have to learn to boil them down to essential information. "Eternity is listening to an eight-year-old tell the plot of this Really Neat Movie", you know?
Keep up the good work. DS 02:46, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm confused (and, obviously, ignorant). Are the Blood Syndicate heroes or villains? --Paul A 07:59, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
No. :)
They're people. In a gang. Their primary motivation is self-interest and mutual protection. They didn't form to fight crime or anything, and they don't have much respect for the law. But many of the members have generally good character, and when something that is genuinely "evil" threatens them or their community, they'll fight it. Tverbeek 13:01, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I thought that might be it. I was hoping for a simple black-and-white answer, though - simple black-and-white answers make things so much easier. :) --Paul A 01:05, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The Blood Syndicate were, as the page says, the remnants of two decimated gangs which came together. Technically, and for advertising purposes, they were a gang. However, they were significantly more moral than most gangs. Their criminal activity seemed to be limited mostly to robbing drug dealers. They weren't, IIRC, ever shown doing things that we tend to associate with gangs, such as dealing drugs, accosting civilians, etc.
I might quibble with the characterization of Fade as being "possibly" in love with Tech-9. I might be remembering this from the unpublished FADE mini series, but I think it was very clear in the Blood Syndicate series that Fade was very deeply in love with Tech-9 and there were much subtler implications that Tech-9 may have reciprocated.
