About Caspian's reboot
If you're reading this, you're probably someone who played with me and Caspian in the past. If so, welcome! Good to see you again! There are a few changes in his personal history you might be interested to know about.
The first thing to know is that this Caspian is essentially the same as the old one, with one major difference: he is, for all intents and purposes, alive. If he's out of Aslan's Country, he will age. He can die or be killed.
The reasoning behind this, as discussed with our resident Aslan, is that it makes more sense for Aslan to have brought Caspian back to life after the events of The SIlver Chair, not just as a dead guy who looks seventeen forever.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
- Caspian aged during his previous time in the Bar. Thus, he's approximately 22 or 23 at the time of his return.
- He did not marry Lucy.
(In this continuity, the only difference from previous game is that Caspian was alive; therefore he and Lucy, while together, would not have married, leaving her free to leave with the other Narnians for Aslan's Country.)
- Instead of leaving for Aslan's Country, he went with Tirian and Eustace to fight in The Last Battle (which is where he enters from).
These choices are the result of a lot of deliberation and talking with other muns, past and present. Here is what it does NOT change:
- The fact that he's been gone for approximately five years (depending on the character and how the time has passed for them).
- Management of the stables. If you have a stable question, please continue to go to the current management.
- Almost all of his millicanon aside from his wedding. If your character remembers him, chances are good that memory lines up with his own.
Now, I certainly don't want to rewrite everyone's memory. If you want, feel free to have your character remember him exactly as he was from the previous game. Just be prepared to have them be really confused at each other for a while.
Questions?
Oh, and PS: he's delighted to be back, and so am I. Hello, Milliways. It's been so very long.
