Commentary


I'm not sure why I created Prince.  I already had a fun-to-play scrapper on Victory to train up, and with another the development of both would be slow.  Maybe I wanted to try the Katana.  I'd had a Broad Sword scrapper on Virtue for a long time and had avoided Katana because the sets were so similar.  Maybe I was curious to find the differences.
