Hello, friends! It's meme day. We have a simple QUESTIONS meme today. This is an OOC one. The rrrrrrrrules (look, I watched Panty and Stocking today) are:

1) Tag in with your character(s?)!
2) Reply to someone else's tag and ask them a QUESTION about their character.
3) When you answer a question posed to you, you have to ask them a question in turn!

First of all, she needs the proper setting for this. The sky is red like blood from the sunset, and it takes place on the water's edge where the surface reflects the light like fire. She faces fierce opponents on a Very Important Mission. Like a million of them. In her personal imagination they tend to be suits of black, spiky armor all about 3 times her size.

They will fight for like, a week minimum and the sky is red the whole time obviously. This is where she furies and reaches berserker enlightenment where all is combat forever and her soul is devoured by the forces that be because she is a fighting machine. She is able to defeat the enemies all a million of them by herself, crawls out of the wreckage with a bunch of new and conveniently awesome placed scars, and no longer is there Virelai.

There is only fight.

However, it's become more important to her to become a compassionate berserker and someone who manages to find the balance between all of the fight and nurturing others, which probably requires a soul.

If Siegmund stayed an assassin and had to preach some kind of new assassin order using the abilities in less morally questionable ways, how would he redefine and apply them?

Mostly with a focus on the agility/stealth/nonlethal skills. He'd want the skills to be used for protecting or supporting people. Killing monsters, collecting intel, sending messages, stuff like that. His own skillset is tailored toward it and it makes him a pretty valuable asset as recon.

Assassin philosophy is chaos, breaking down the current world order and unfair balance of power. Wanting power distributed fairly is not a bad ideal and I think he'd stick with it, but not through...the guild's current means. More emphasis on forcing the people in power to listen to the people who aren't.

But they would still be creepy and just show up unannounced in random and unexpected places by melting out of the shadows, and they'd get to stay dark and mysterious. Obviously.


How would Virelai feel about herself/how she was made if her player had turned out to be the Spenta instead of the Ahura?

Assuming the timeline worked the same way with the berserker/paladin conflict, she would have come to the conclusion that this means she could bridge the gap between the two guilds. She's not unaware Rhys made her after becoming the Ahura, but the concept that the person who would become the Ahura is good enough. Likewise, the person who would become the Spenta made a berserker, and that means we should give peace a chance! And then beat each other up in celebration. Diplomacy would have become more of a focus.

If that conflict was not a thing, or if Rhys was any other guild leader, then it's not quite as idealistic. There would still be some degree of, "I was created to be just like this, so it's okay if there are flaws," which was an epiphany moment for her, but she would have a lot of questions about why she was made a berserker. She would eventually confront him about why she is how she is, and why didn't he make her more like him, or just more... berserkery. At that point any encouragements ring hollow. There's no Ahura authority to fall back on. Berserker is her favorite though. She would (hopefully) come to realize that and gain confidence.

Execptions--
Mazda Rhys: Virelai can believe she is his repressed berserker side. One day she would discover the concept of anima/animus on the internet, then proceed to apply other Jungian concepts to Gunnar and Victor. And now I want her to do this anyway and be inaccurate about all the things.

Asha Rhys: She'd accept herself as "like a golem," and a berserker is very different from a mage, so it makes sense to experiment. Maybe he ran out of the materials they use on Earth when they do it, and that's why she's so short...
Khshathra Rhys might get the same leeway if constructs were used as a parallel, but then she'd fashion construct-like armor for herself and try to blend in at the alchemist guild.

Also Siegmund that is awesome and I am sad we don't have it.
How would he have handled being the Armaiti? Could that scenario have happened, or would he have done something terrible first?
