Yes, it was in the warning, this story has a lot of silliness. XP But that's not a sign of being old, you would be old if you didn't find silliness entertaining, and you seem to have found it entertaining! Don't do that to me, because even I find silly things entertaining, and I'm not that old! XD
Yes! Alpha Wolf is based off Blade Wolf. The lil' guy made a strong impression on me after I played Rising. Glad to see another fan of the game! *hug*
I'm gonna make my Wolf return, obviously, since he is Voltaic's companion, heh.
Actually, trivia: To be honest, at one point I was gonna have Hooper call himself Raiden, but then I thought that would be way too obvious and deep-end corny. Voltaic simply sounded more natural to me in the end!
