I've sent you a few PMs through The Pit's private messaging system in regards to some stylistic and proofreading matters regarding your work The Darkest Ocean.

In addition to Sedri's recommendations, universes are typically written as proper nouns within the few places they are described uniquely. World One is such a unique description, and it looks better if it's capitalized anyway. The Star Wars continuum's droids usually have a designator with a hyphen in the middle, and that would be important to make sure ends up in his name every time unless you never use it, or the name is in dialog.

I assume HK-50 is pretty much going to be KotOR's HK-47, sociopathy and extremely efficient violence wrapped in a nice hard case. There's a lot you can do with that, although I'd warn that simply shooting something in the knees from from 120 kilometers with a sniper rifle and a trilight scope might not be imaginative even if it does get the job done. On the other hand, people who want to just shoot em but have to kill in less efficient ways can add to the entertainment.

Is Orang(e)Dream's characterization going to be about overconfidence, or is that just one attribute in one situation that's going to come up?
