See, I think several of your characters had the potential to be one of those leaders. Opto was awesome, but the character himself didn't seem to have the role to grab people and organize them. I can see it now. "I demand you all quit ####ing around and follow me!" Ritur also, was kind of a "behind-the-sceens" guy, but I bet if Ritur had stepped forward and taken charge, people would have followed him. It just wasn't part of the character to do that though (correct me if I'm wrong) which is fine. Srinlete seemed like he could have been there, but alas, now we'll never know.
