Some OOC notes for pinned: This is a sburb AU of an oc of mine! He destroyed his whole session, along with (almost) everyone in it after deciding he no longer trusted his fellow players to create a kinder, more stable universe in the aftermath of his session, using his abilities as Lord of Void to eradicate each and every one of them from their timelines and allowing the session to be overwritten by another, more stable session. He has since resided in the Furthest Ring with the only other remaining player from his home. He calls himself the Herald, though what precisely he heralds is unknown, and he reveals his true face only rarely. He likes to collect secrets, and though he has no qualms with cruelty, he will sometimes overwrite them for the sake of someone else, if asked kindly. He may also reveal secrets in code on the timeline, denoted by this phrase: "Things unknown may not remain so, if you simply open your eyes." View raw text to read it! If you have a secret you want him to know about your character to talk about or twist around when he talks, you can submit them here. https://tally.so/r/KYyJvk
Mythological roles themselves are not inherently good or evil, it is the hero that ascribes the meaning. Without the boundaries of Doom, Life grows out of control. Without the chaos of Life, Doom grows stagnant. Without Hope, Rage reigns and paints creation in only ugly realities. Without Rage, Hope runs blind. Without Breath, Blood binds us only to our perceived responsibilities. Without Blood, the freedom of Breath leaves it all behind on a whim. This is, of course, without factoring in the classes at all. If you completed your session and your view of the aspects are as narrow as “this one is good, and this one is evil,” Then, truly, you learned nothing. And earned even less.
Genuinely I think she thinks I am being hyperbolic when I talk about what I've done to keep my knight with me. So let me be abundantly clear. I once played the game so many of you speak of, and my heart, my one and only, my dearest knight... died very early in our session due to certain circumstances within our game. The other players at our metaphorical table were ignorant, cruel, and small-minded, and would have prevented me (and certainly tried, too) from seeing him safely resurrected per the games terms for my perceived sins. So I unmade them. All of them. And everything else along with them. Save for my Knight, my Joseph. Love does not do anything by halves.
It is generally understood, I feel, that one should not antagonize the emotionally disturbed. However.... As this one has come close to reason many times before veering hard into pure grotesquery despite all that was offered... I feel comfortable in doing so. This will not last much longer, in any case. The Reaper has made his plans already, and though he loathes to enact them I suspect he will soon find he has no choice.
