So I find I'm debating myself regarding a certain aspect of my character, in particular the platinum bracers that I wear. In short, they connect me to a person I've been friends with for quite a long time now, one of the first people I met in the fandom and been close with since. Some may know who it is, or be able to guess, but said person has now quietly left the fandom.

Now I'm left wondering if I should remove the bracers, or keep them as a legacy of a close friendship. He has influenced my character in many other ways too, so even if I remove them certain aspects of myself will remind me of said friend.

But then if I do remove them I feel it'd leave my character a little baren, those bracers have been integral to my design for some time now.
