Your railroad track...
You mean the setting? Of your sidequest?
The one that I practically came up with? Allright then. I'll make sure to adhere to my own suggestions.

AB said Jeanette would join. SO I'm guessing she doesn't die.
I have a baaaaad feeling about Heidi, though.

Nah, I think Heidi's cool. Impact might chat her up later, see what she's all about. And I forgot Jeanette would join, never mind my previous speculation.

Besides, this is relevant to Pierce's sidequest, totally. Possibly. I mean, you should see Pierce's entire backstory and the reason why he is how he is. I'm kinda wondering if you guys'll like it or think it's OOC.
Though if I can pull it off, I'll have succeeded in my evil plan to turn Pierce into the main character.

A tragic backstory does not the main character make. I mean sure, you can motivate him to an incredible degree and put give him such an emotionally laden history, it'd bring tears to the eyes of a hardened war veteran! Be my guest. It'll take a bit of effort, but it's possible.
But how will it make him the main character? His backstory will be plot-central in exactly one mission, his sidequest. After that? It's a detail. One that nicely justifies his actions, and that can be used to make the character interesting. Assume Pierce gets a crisis of conscience about his actions now, compared to his actions in the past, sometime during mission 6. That'll influence only Pierce. The other characters won't necessarily pay more attention to him because of it. AB's posts won't focus more on his agony than, say, on Impact's (the horrible, horrible feeling of fighting alongside pokemon) or Charlotte's (the horrible, horrible feeling of not having taken a human life all day).
Y'ken? Make Pierce as human and relatable as you like. It won't make him more important.
