What I have doesn't really fall into the category of suggestion or criticism. It's really just a concern. Though I admit I don't agree with your having chosen cancer as Inara's terminal illness, I'm not passing judgment on that. The series was canceled before the truth of it could come to light, and your choosing to continue that particular sub-plot to completion is, of course, completely up to you

I know most people would have gone with an STD given her profession. I thought that was over done and trite. Any disease I choose to play out with her could be said to have the same problems. However, you've got a point and of course I don't wish to make anyone uncomfortable. I'll take into consideration your suggestion.
I don't mind answering that question at all. In canon Inara was injecting herself with syringes for a reason that was never given. She also left the guildhouse and had a particularly long doctor's appointment for reasons that were never explored. At a convention Morena Baccarin revealed that Inara was dying but she didn't know what of since the show had never gotten that far. I've seen various Inaras played with various diseases but I chose cancer because personally I think it's a disease that's least likely to be cured by her time. I wanted a 'real' disease so that I could play the storyline out. it's not a normal cancer. It's a cancer that mutated because of a vaccine that 'cured' 95% of cancer in Inara's world. Everything beyond 'Inara is dying' is head canon.
Originally I was going to have her die in the City because of the cancer but I started interacting with Chase and House muns and figured why not give the doctors a 'case' and actually give my girl a chance to end up living in the process.
OK, cool! Thanks. I'm a total moron and it's been *years* since I've seen Firefly, so I totally forgot all of that and I was like B-BUT WHY WHY INARA WHY.
No problem! There's really nothing that screams terminal illness in the show. I know at the time there were all kinds of theories about what the syringes were like suicide kits and fountain of youth kinds of things. I've been playing Inara healthy in various places since 2006 so when I brought her here and found out she could be City Dead without making her unplayable I decided to go ahead and play her sick for the first time ever.
