After a great deal if pressure in another thread I've just read storm front and something struck me when I was reading Harlequinn's stats at the end 21 soak dice, 30 odd magic, fought a dragon openly, has any spell he wants available etc, etc and has for decades been running around with nanopaste on his face 24/7. So what if what's been hitting people everywhere is also in his head?

[DeathStrobe]

Would we ever notice the difference?

In keeping with the theme of Mary Sue Harlequin we will no doubt discover that Harlequin was infected early on, but not only does he resists the invasion he actually counter-infected them, with those altered nanites now serving as one of the baselines for some of the Manipulator/Hidden strains.

So now we face the truly terrifying prospect of MiniHarleys running around...

Nah. They originated from him. He's Sybil.

And this is why I decapitated the guy. Hard to Mary Sue when your suspiciously well preserved head is on a pike outside Ghostwalker's City's Council.

Yeah I can't buy that unless your home game character is ridiculously overpowered.

I did what any respectable GM would do: Sic a dragon on him.

Specifically, the big angry one he fucked over who promised to get bloody, bloody revenge on all those who crossed him no matter how lightly they may have done so.

After, of course, using his guilt to rebuild GW's drake forces and running interference while Ghostwalker turned one of those uber shadow spirits into magic-WMDs. Even immortal elves get tired guarding an open planar gate to an insect spirit metaplane.

Harlequin is self-indulgent enough he probably understood the "double-cross" was coming the entire time. Keeping Harly alive post-stormfront seems like a premise thread to me. So I ended the threat.

[Senko]

And doomed half your world in doing so.

...you weren't really expecting a happy ending, were you?

Nanites don't infect him, he infects nanites.  So basically, Harlequin is Chuck Norris.

No, Argent is Chuck Norris of 6W. Harlequin is what would happen if the Chuck 'grew up'.

That's what bunraku parlours are for.

Sorta like Chuck vs Zombies then.

Removing Harlequin from SR would be like Bat-Man without the Joker or Sherlock Holmes without drug references...where would be the fun then?
