I've mostly been a passive watcher of the initial proposal, but I will be forthright that part of reason why an update would be nice is because the original page had incredibly uncomfortable connotations when combined with Malik being Kuwaiti? I mean, it was already previously talk paged and yet this page both had Malik being explicitly Kuwaiti and also from a land famous for thievery- and while it was probably accidental, I think the misgivings regarding the connotations of this (with the Middle East being both stereotyped as a crime filled, backwards exotic place, Aladdin/Ali Baba being one of the most popular images in the West... It's really a yikes! Moment and was only changed by a random non-Garage)

- removal of the thievery based land (it's whats on the wiki and was left to stand this whole time so I think it's a fair enough concern) unless it is grounded... So much better, but at the same time the vibe of a thievery based character who isn't adjusting to modern USA and kinda from the Middle East is like, kinda dicy from the get go<br />
