I love your X nuzlock, pray tell, is golett’s mannerisms based on the HK units from KOTOR? And is Martial based on the wookie’s life debt? If so, then these decisions shall herald an even grander story to come…

Yes and no.  I wanted to make Pygmalion sound ‘robotic;’ the similarity to the way HK-47 speaks only occurred to me as I was partway through writing the scene.  I considered playing up the resemblance, but decided against it, since the character isn’t really supposed to be similar at all (besides, it is impossible to faithfully imitate HK-47, and any attempt to do so would be sacrilege).  Likewise, the phrase “life debt” comes from Star Wars (or at least I don’t think it’s used anywhere else that’s terribly well-known), but is mostly just a convenient way of expressing a concept that exists elsewhere in literature – Martial literally owes Spruce his life.
