I shiver with anticipation for bishie Zouken, Knick!

[Knick]

Damn it Kat, It was going to be a surprise.

I told ya that in confidence.

[Kat]

I don't recall that I was supposed to keep it secret, sorry.

[Cherry Lover]

I thought someone else was intending to play him....

[Knick]

Think it was just an idea they where mentioning.

If it is an issue I will work it out with them but I have already written up the sheet.

Also you are going to love what I did with Sakura, no worm pit and full fledged Heir to the Matou secrets.

[Umbra of Chaos]

That may have been Kat, but s/he was probably joking.

[Kat]

I will leave bishie Zouken in Knick's hands.

Well, you can both play him if necessary, multiple versions of a character are allowed.

Also you are going to love what I did with Sakura, no worm pit and full fledged Heir to the Matou secrets.

Hmm, so he's managed to survive for much longer without using the worms? And with his morality still somewhat intact?

[Kat]

The Director of Clock Tower has avoided soul rot for 2000 years.

[Knick]

Never really had a strong moral compass. Reason why Zel determined the Makari where "fundamentally evil".  He has standards, like "no genocide", and "perhaps I should not fuck up the greatest heir the Makari will ever get, might be counter productive.". Would probably feed his family to a wood chipper if it meant Justeaze back though, so take it with a grain of salt.

And ya found another way, which is arguably worse depending on who you ask. More effective at any rate.

[Kat]

Morality is subjective, really.

He's also very much implied to not be entirely human.

Well, he had some standards, at least. Not necessarily many, but enough to not throw a young child into a pit of penis worms and treat her like a tool....

Sure, but Zouken pretty obviously lacks anything that could remotely be called "morality" in canon.

[Knick]

Ya not a worm pit. I mean worms have a role, neccessary for crest transfer.

However otherthing happened with Sakura that are a result of Zouken's activity, training and raising.

[Kat]

Wrong, Mike. He was pretty idealistic before the soul rot.
