This page sort of depends on the fact that you guys know that Harrison is an ex-Ranger, but I think he's only appeared in one or two other pages, and I don't know if he even had any dialogue. I'm guilty here of letting the Who's Who do the heavy lifting for me. The short version is he was working as a Chicago detective, and doggedly followed a case even after the brass waved him off, and in doing so discovered evidence of the supernatural underground, like you do if you're the main character of the pilot episode of a supernatural police procedural. Like Fringe, but with more werewolves and vampires. Shady supernaturals tried to eliminate him, but being an ex-Ranger, he gave them way more trouble than they expected and was eventually brought into the loop by non-shady supernaturals. He now works with Arc-LIGHT and often partners with Pixel.
It's possible Harrison is being slightly hyperbolic about how much caffeine was involved in Ranger school. But people in Cultivation novels are basically junkies. By the time they make it to Silver, half of them have stopped eating food that isn't more "Legendary Mana Tankard" than riceball.
(Next page actually details points spent. I'll include an updated skill tree.)

Someday fine day we'll see Syd throw somebody by their tongue - using tentacles. Somebody BIG!

She is unlikely to ever be in a fight where a dozer blade or wrecking ball is handy. Knowing how to use found tools is great, but the tentacles are useful in and of themselves - she should be working on that. For instance, I'd like to see her try to feed herself with those things - fine detail work is what needs training, not random destruction. Syd is great at random and destruction already!

Bring some of the gang out to play with her and she might stick with it longer. They really all ought to be training against each other, but Sydney would be the greatest wild card.

I have to admit, Pixel is looking extra cute this comic. Wouldn't mind seeing a NSFW in the works of this version of her.
