[X] Kill Sevika

I've always felt the double standard for named characters to be absurd. The goon we blew up and the two that Caitlyn shot had names, families, hopes, and dreams. Hell they may have only been in this for the pay, while Sevika is a betrayer, an ideological gang leader, and will not offer us any mercy in the future. If Marty the mook can get shot to death without any real care IC or OOC why on earth do you spare his boss?

*shrug* context matters,in combat is about fight for survival you dont have time to think or choose,is you or them
execution is different because you have the option to actually leave them live,is no longer survival

we also have the privilege of knowing powder mental instability tendencies as well knowing sevika motivations
spare her or drag her to benzo,either way it sets a precedent for powder that life is not to be thrown away

kill is not a forbiden thing,but it shouldnt a hobby you do for shit and gigles,even if justfied
 
[x] Bring her to Benzo

As has been clearly demonstrated, we really need Seraphine on this, actual magic is just too useful in a pinch. If we kill Sevika in front of her after she helped us bring her down, we probably lose her. So let Benzo take the heat for executing her, he's a has-been anyway so we can cut him out of future plans.

They both went ahead so this isn't in front of her. Jinx stayed behind because she reasoned out she could do this since she had a hand in Xander murder and she may as well cut out the middle man. It could also be that she lives in Zaun and this isn't exactly rare or unseen.

We initiated the combat encounter. We joked to the face of a guy whilst handing him a bomb. The differences between handing an armed bomb to a guy answering a door and executing someone seconds after fighting them to the death whilst in enemy territory aren't meaningfully different enough for me to be deterred from eliminating Sevika before she can make us regret giving her mercy. If we didn't care about bombing "sphincter" why would we care about killing Sevika, other than the satisfaction of revenge on the woman who betrayed our father, as well as the safety that comes from Silco's gang not identifying Caitlyn as someone who killed his men.

Magic senses means she'll still notice what happened. And she'll care more since she actually participated in this fight so it is something she's responsible for.

Mostly because Sevika knows Vi is alive and a little bit of being worried that executing her in cold blood will drive away Seraphine

Her magic sense means she'll know what we did, but it also means she knows exactly what went through Sevika's head, she knows whether Sevika's threats to kill were genuine or not far better than anyone but the woman herself, and she stepped in to defend us. Sevika will remember that is she lives and Seraphine will have a target on her back for attacking Sevika and potentially for her magic nature, I'm sure Singed would love a natural mage as a test subject. Seraphine may not like what we have to do, but better she is resentful than dead or a test subject.

Then that'll happen unless we release her. Which comes with it's own future issues. Also how clearly can she sense at the distance she is going. If she came to Zaun she'd probably be feeling people will out constantly instead she just keyed on the collective misery.

Edit: Also even if she feels it, we should do what's needed and not what makes us popular with someone. Like when we have our bombs.

It also feels like we're fairly selective on what a kid is allowed to do. When that argument was used during the bomb distribution it was ignored because Jinx also handles bombs. Well Jinx even during that incident even thinks on how to mess people up more effectively. She isn't a normal child, she's a zaunite that's seem death.

[X] Kill Sevika

It is what it is. Struggling to drag a deeply maimed enemy back to Benzo's where there's a significant possibility that HE will kill her anyway just seems like a waste of everyone's time.
 
I shook my head and threw that thought away. No, it wasn't. Vander had gone after the Enforcers for payback , but in the end he'd decided that protecting me was more important than making them pay. It was why Sevika turned on him too, because he cared more about protecting what he loved than killing what he hated. If I had to choose between being more like Sevika or being more like Vander … was that even a choice?
Oh. Oh I love this. This is the best take away ever. Be vander, the protector. Truly, having someone try to live to his example is the greatest blow Jinx can deal to Silco.

[X] Bring her to Benzo

Jinx think Benzo is just going to kill her but he's been in the game to do so without asking her some pertinent question. At least, I think that's how things will go. Either way, I feel like Benzo deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to him simply executing her rather than getting something out of it.
 
[X] Spare Sevika

I don't know about bringing her to Benzo, Powder does not have a good track record in convincing other people to not kills someone as sheriff Grayson is a testament, granted Vander was blinded by grief, Silco and Sevika probably encourage him to kill Grayson and Powder was ins shocked.

Silco will use proportionate force, a eye for an eye, the more ruthless we are the more ruthless his tactics become, the more people will suffer and die which will hurt Zaun. At least 3 people have died lets not add Silco's right hand woman to the list. If he thinks Benzo and some enforcers kill his men, he will escalate on someone else, perhaps on Piltover a terrorist attack perhaps, so lets not escalate. So unfortunately we can't chuck her in piltover's prison, since it will trigger him as worse than a zaunite killing a zaunite in a gangfight, we also cant execute her, as its onething ig a gang suffers casualties in a fight, but its another if a gang member especially a lieutenant gets executed in cold blooded.

As for bringing Sevika to Benzo, as I wrote above, Powder does not have a good track record of preventing deaths, not even preventing her father from murdering a innocent woman,.

So we are going to try something different a open hand, since Sevika didn't want to hurt anyone, except Benzo as he's a adult.

As for those who wish to know Violet is alive, maybe Seraphine pick her up from Sevika's head, yet another reason why we can't execute or chuck her in prison.

Execution and chucking her in prison will cause Silco to escalate.
Sevika for all her faults has a code, she does not lie, will mention that the gang died in battle instead of geing murdered, and most of all she does not want to kill anyone especially kids, so lets show the same courtesy. My mistake she does not want to kill needlessly especially people she knew former comrades, except for enforcers.

Conceptually, I believe that she is going to be able to escape if we try and Hand her off to Benzo, and obviously if we choose to spare her. Sevika is a supporter ultimately speaking and in general one that is properly ideologically driven. She is Silco's best supporter he will not find someone more loyal, her death is a major blow to him and keeps his foundations more rocky. I doubt this Vi is going to be as important to him as canon Jinx was.

Sevika is an interesting character she was able to forgive canon Jinx for the loss of her arm, but what has happened here and there are significantly different and she will not have the long-term connection with us. Her survival is an information risk on both our continued existence and our compatriots. However as a true supporter / servant of Zaun, Sevika is one of the few people you could call sort of Honorable of the side cast. Not perfectly obviously, but I do think she would hold same amount of pause against Jinx if we were to spare her. Not anything major, but I do think Sevika will keep such in mind next times we meet.

Killing does feel the most logical choice, however it would be Jinx's most direct and personal act of killing. She indirectly killed some enforcers and her brothers (and she also believes she killed Vi) she killed or at best horribly maimed Sphincter the Goon. But this would be a different act, it is much more direct and we will see it acted out, we will feel the tactility of pulling the trigger and hear the slumping of the body in close proximity. I do not believe Jinx as she is now will be greatly effected by such a choice, Jinx is especially in grief willing to do harm to others, but this is our chance to change that if we don't want to progress towards that route. We can give Jinx "a conscious" or at least some limits to the violence she is willing to impart upon her enemies. Individuals like Ekko and Seraphine I feel would be more appreciative and support the mercy, Caitlyn will understand regardless, but probably would much prefer the giving her to Benzo option, move it to an authority figure.

I'm not quite sure how accurate Jinx is about assuming Benzo would kill her, though given the immediacy should we succeed in even getting Sevika and him in the same place its probably not fully inaccurate. But Benzo is certainly a character that has room for being fleshed out.

This all to say I'm not sure where I land. I think the most interesting option is the Spare her, the most logical in current character option is to Kill her, and the neutral option is to try and get her to Benzo, but I feel that one will likely not succeed and has lesser potential benefits than simply sparing her with how it impacts Sevika's perceptions.
 
We only start jailing Silco or his goons only when we are ready to fight him at the least the fireflies must be formed, which won't happen for a few years, As bad as Silco is the chembarons are even worse, without Sevika, one of the chembarons will likely takeover,. Escalating now without a proper revbellion or Zaunite plusbPiltover support is bad idea. Plus Silco escalating due to loss of loyal right hand woman is very bad as thats years away before anyone is old enough to form a resistance.

Metawise Silco still has Vi so it will be in our best interest if Sevika remains unarrested and alive, propping Silco up, until the arcane cast cqn restore peace and order in Zaun.

I am pretty confused as to how we would even transport her to be honest. We are a band of three slim teenage girls trying to move a muscular adult woman who is an experienced unarmed combatant. With the nails through her feet she would have to be carried, which would take at least two of us just to bear the weight. From their we would have to avoid any foot traffic as she could easily call for help and receive it being a big player in Zaun. Not to mention if we believe Benzo will kill her why wouldn't she? Sevika will likely wait for an opportunity when we're all in close carrying her to flex her one good arm, grapple a weapon, choke a hostage, or just call for help. If Benzo's going to kill her anyway she seems to type to go for the last stand when she has even the slightest opportunity.

[X] Spare Sevika

I feel like Spare is a bit dodgy on the things Jinx would actually do, lol, but I think it could lead to some really interesting developments later.

Or yeah, let the adult handle it right now. We did our part, we can leave the rest to Benzo.

We obviously don't have a No Kill rule, this is Jinx, but I'd still prefer to avoid stuff like executing prisoners. Or alienating new friend and sister.

Here is my current leanings, basically go all in one way or the other. Kill seems the most in character, and spare has long-term benefits and will simply succeed and being enacted unlike the Benzo play, in my opinion.

Jailing? What jail and whose money is going to that jail? Unless you want to give him over to piltover to their only jail.

Without Sevika the chem Barons are likely to rip each other apart. Hell can Silco even take over without her or Jinx? Sure if he has Vi she's still young and unlike Jinx who rely on weapons her age is a detriment as a gang enforcer. He won't have the same control he did in canon.

Another issue is this isn't the same Sevika as in canon. She's ready to step over her boundaries due to having to fight children or at least Jinx in this continuity. We can't treat them as the same as canon.
