Both characters start on Earth ( without technological assistance ). Palpy starts as a moderately succesful UK movie producer for fake identity.
Their objective : taking power on Earth through mind control powers, and mutually killing each other. As in Dan Simmons' Carrion Comfort, essentially.
Palpy doesn't have the right to use the Force to kill Borden directly, but can use it on whichever Borden sends to kill him. Similarily, Borden cannot cause Palpy to have a seizure ( as Melanie Fuller did once, in the airport ). Both are immune to each other's mind control and detection powers. Both are forbidden to directly campaign to be elected leader of a country, but such a restriction doesn't apply to private organisations.
I've not finished to read all the tomes of Carrion Comfort, so please put spoiler warnings.
Which one takes it ?
EDIT :Shit... that should be in the FAN forum. Can a mod fix it ?
William Borden vs Palpatine
