Forget the whole heroine/anti-heroine nonsense on what they do, what kind of women are we writing about here? Who was your finest in your opinion and what do you want her to do?

When I first wrote my first story, the Brotherhood, my favorite character was not the lead hero, though he was a complex individual on his own right, but the love interest. The man character was essentially coming into his adulthood with a turbulent relationship with a half-elf/ half-red dragon who was fun loving, direct, outspoken, and was fairly gentle with a dash of the playful predator. (not sure about that last part, but even so...)

I've been dreaming of revamping the story, making Neil/Thomas more masculine but having a stronger moral compass in this story, and making Alexandria a full elf/elf-like but still powerful and unusually direct super-powered (or just simply strong) woman trying to have a turbulent but fun relationship with a young, strong, but still mortal man who has all the talents and ability of a hero or a strong man that has been terribly misjudged....

Back in the day, I was playing alot of Deus Ex: The Conspiracy and just gotten into fantasy games and anime. Now I've been into Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2. Warhammer is smouldering on the back burner...

Hmm, where to start...

I think that this can be a very good idea. Personally I like your writing style, but I never liked too much the heavy inclusion of Warhammer elements in your stories.

Believe me, I think I realized that some time ago. I'll try to keep it closer to my more immediate and less imposing source material: computer games, r.e. howard, and a dash of japanese anime with a slight cinematic bent.

whew.

Well, I admit it was also my fault, at the time I had just stopped playing Warhammer 40k because I was sick of the ever-shifting/never-changing background, so I tend to overreact to anything containing even the slightest trace of WH elements.
