Ubisoft has already announced plans to ditch Assassin's Creed 3's hero, Connor Kenway (or Ratonhnhaké:ton) in Assassin's Creed 4. Fans are forming groups, writing petitions, and taking to social media in order to save Connor. This is my appeal. Heavy Spoiler Alert for both AC3 and The Tyranny of King Washington.
The one thing people don't seem to realize is that Connor should be quiet. He should be reserved. He deserves to be able to feel no need to to justify himself to an entire world that is completely against who and what he is. At the very start of his story, when he is just a boy, Connor is harassed by Charles Lee for simply being Native -- and just minutes later, he is forced to watch and cope with the fact that his mother has been burned alive by the same people who just trashed his heritage.
Connor only speaks when he feels as though it's just. He speaks when Samuel Adams calls his cause (as a participant of the American Revoltuion) just, but still owns human slaves. He speaks when something wrong has gone on, and he speaks with power far beyond his years. He speaks when he feels it is right, and that's okay. We are not stupid, gamers -- we can understand in-depth characters in various settings -- we just need to listen. Connor is caught up in a situation that pulls him in every direction: his people are being destroyed by the country he is trying to save from the oppression of a country that he's never even heard of.
