...I kinda sorta hope that someone calls him 'Peter-byte' at some point in canon now. XDD
Yeah, I really feel like they could have done more with the Grid's place in things. Like, it might have been kind of cool to have some Grid-real world communication. They could have even done something crazy like having Dillinger Jr. be their contact, and have him become more of an ally, which could have been neat. BUT I DIGRESS.
OKAY I LOVE THE NAME ION. :D That was actually something I was wondering about--did you have any thoughts as to how the Guardians might manifest themselves as programs? Like, could they have had some aspect of their animals realized? I could almost see Ion having a Hindu god look, with lots of arms to do lots of things with. In that respect I could see him as something like an administrative program or a task manager, something that directs data and manages flow and, despite hanging in the background, keeps things running smoothly. He's probably also a little older in terms of when he was coded, and occasionally freezes when he gets an inappropriate command. XD
You actually got me thinking about how an alchemist might translate into the Grid. The thought that came to mind is that they could corrupt malicious code, which makes me think Alixe might be some sort of antivirus program (ALSO, TOTALLY BEING A DOCTOR AND KEEPING THE SYSTEM HEALTHY. XD). That would probably also make her tougher and more active than her counterpart, although I could see her wanting to quarantine things first, or wanting to make absolutely sure the program she's after is malicious before going in.
