::: I favor the notion of B2, which keeps Griffin as the enemy, but this time an enemy with a solid motivation, not just being a jerk (Oni 1's Griffin) or just a maniac (Oni 1's Muro). He knows that humanity can benefit from the Chrysalis in the short run but also feels strongly that giving everyone the Chrysalis will be opening Pandora's Box as the things develop inside people, so he fights to keep them out of the public's hands. This also places him in the anti-authoritarian position, as a rogue or guerilla, which is quite interesting to imagine. | ::: I favor the notion of B2, which keeps Griffin as the enemy, but this time an enemy with a solid motivation, not just being a jerk (Oni 1's Griffin) or just a maniac (Oni 1's Muro).

:::*When I say anti-authoritarian, that's only if the governments are giving Chrysalises to people. If the gov'ts decide that it's too dangerous to go the Daodan route, then Griffin won't have to fight the gov't, only the black market Chrysalis peddlers. That simply makes him anti-Syndicate, as he has always been. Then again, even though the gov'ts would probably refuse to give them to ordinary citizens because of the risks of having a revolt by an Imago-stage populace, they might give Chrysalises to key officials to guarantee their health if the situation is dire enough that using ACCs and breathing masks won't suffice to keep someone healthy. In that case, we're indeed back to a situation where Griffin has to fight to keep the Chrysalises out of the hands of politicians. | |||

: It seems unlikely, as noted above under "What is Griffin doing?", that the governments would be okay with the general public having alien (as in, strange, not necessarily extraterrestrial) lifeforms in them, especially since the best-known Daodan host would be the anarchist Muro. So, if anything, only higher-ups and the rich will obtain Chrysalises, either legally or illegally. | |||
:: So if Africa is left out to dry by the wealthy countries, then black people would be rare in Oni 2? Interesting thought. It would make a black character all the more unusual | : Besides the occasional purchase of a Chrysalis on the black market, the main solution for the [[BioCrisis]] will be the building of new ACCs. And that process is not going to be quick, that's for darn sure. Inevitably large areas where nations are poorer will get neglected. Most of Africa would die for sure; they may have originally received support from the U.S. and Europe to build the first bunch of ACCs, but when each nation has to look out for itself, Africa will be on its own (this is assuming that Africa's governments don't stabilize and gain wealth in the next couple decades). The overpopulated nations like India and China would suffer the greatest losses in population, but then again, they're probably going to be seriously industrialized well before then, and will have plenty of labor to build new ACCs with. Smaller and less-developed nations will definitely take it on the chin, assuming they didn't already when the original crisis started. | ||
