Thanks. :P I'm very pleased to heat that you like them. I guess I felt it was just time to revamp Tollubo. His model was becoming something of a cliché and it didn't seem to work for me in that it couldn't really reflect his significance or his characteristics. Glad you like Hollian too and, yes, very much so. OYS will touch upon the impact of Vortixx immigration to Metru-Nui and will show how many of them have been exploited. Plus some of it'll be based off of my history lessons so I guess it'll be educational in a sense. :P

Yeah, post-wartime Europe is my favorite historical period and I really wanted to try and incorporate that into my story as much as possible. I'm glad you think that. It makes it kind of ironic that I want to stop ending my stories with wars and focus on the aftermath instead. XD Glad you picked up on the character development too because that's an element that I try to put a lot of focus into, though I'm planning on killing off quite a lot of old characters this year. :S Still, I'm pleased to hear that you think so highly of my characterisation. :P I personally think it's beginning to get a lot more evident in some of my newer characters than my original ones - such as Mahu, Kran, Karox... possibly even Jollun these days :S - seem to be a little shallow to me. :/ But I do try to develop them still. Characters like Tollubo, Betak, Eselox and Orkahm are constantly going through development and I'm always trying to convey maturity or the changing in habits to show this with a lot of the more mainstream figures of my story. :D
