It occurs to me, knowing the ending I can ask for this before we get to the recurrence in-thread...
Player: Kd7sov Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg Reason for Echo: His mother getting transformed and then dying In canon, Felix's parents and the man who later becomes his sister's father-in-law get turned into a three-headed dragon and forced to fight the party. Afterward they de-transform and everyone knows who and what they are, and as far as the party's healers can tell they're dying with no way to help. There is some reason to believe (though no way to be sure) that Felix knows he's facing his parents, and does it anyway in order to save the world. So what's recurring here is the experience of a) having a transformed parent and then b) that parent being, for all intents and purposes, dead. What is returned: A determination to save the world, regardless of the cost. (This does not mean that he'll be particularly more effective; with only low-level skills and no significant information about the threat, there's not a lot he'll be able to do. But it will mean that he'll be ICly more interested in getting involved and Doing Something.)
